Paul McCartney was probably the best guitarist in The Beatles. Though it's nearly hybris to mention it, he was actually better on the six string than George Harrison, who again was far better than John Lennon. Listen to the guitar solo on Taxman (1966), played by McCartney.
John's vocal style is a direct result of his lack of training. The most distinct quality of his voice is his nasality, which is most clear when he sings in a straight tone. Along with this technique comes some confusion, but make no mistake; if we must label him, baritone is the easy choice.
In addition, Lennon's writing and particularly his vocals have been held in high esteem by music critics around the world for decades. From his joyous vocals on “A Hard Day's Night†to his slightly-high work on “Strawberry Fields Forever†to the rollicking “Twist and Shout,†Lennon's range with the band was remarkable.

John Lennon - 'Working Class Hero'John Lennon's 1970 LP John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band is arguably the greatest work of his solo career.
Paul is definitely the most naturally-gifted musician of them, I don't even think the other three would argue with that. As much as he can be criticised for his granny songs, his melodies are second to none (ok maaaaybe Brian Wilson). I'd say Paul because he's the most gifted among them as a musician.

George Harrison at 75: How the quietest Beatle became the most popular one of all. The timeless legacy of Harrison is as strong as ever in the streaming age. “George was the greatest guy,†Tom Petty recalled in 2010, when I asked him about his friend and Traveling Wilburys bandmate, the late Beatle George Harrison.
The 'Concert for George' was the perfect tribute to him, the most poignant moment came when his two close friends Paul McCartney and Eric Clapton came together for a special performance of his classic song 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'.
Paul rivalry, we can see that John actually had more truly awe inspiring songs, but he also had more Meh-ish songs. Paul was a bit more consistent, with most of his songs in the Looove it! category, but slightly less songs that got to pure genius rating.
"Here Today" is a song by Paul McCartney from his 1982 album Tug of War. He wrote the song as a tribute to his relationship with John Lennon, who was murdered in 1980.

McCartney is among the top Grammy winners, and he has dozens of platinum albums. And McCartney's tours have ranked among the top 15 worldwide for the last six years.
