John Lennon and Paul McCartney were the main songwriters of the group. For the most part, all of the Beatles songs were written by Lennon, McCartney or both. John Lennon typically did vocals and rhythm guitar, while Paul McCartney did vocals and bass guitar. Both could also play the piano. George Harrison was the lead guitar player for the group. Harrison also did vocals. He started emerging as a songwriter during the group's time together, meaning he wrote some of the songs. Ringo Starr was the drummer for the group.

He could arguably be considered the group's founder, having played in a skiffle band with mates from Liverpool when he was a teen. Bandmate Pete Shotten introduced him to Paul McCartney, who subsequently introduced him to George Harrison. He and McCartney became a songwriting team. The rest is history.
