Well maybe when it came to creating pop songs, but when it comes to guitar playing Roger McGuinn and Clarence White were more skilled, though John Lennon was under-rated as rhythm guitarist. When it comes to the 12 String guitar: Bells of Rhymney > Ticket to Ride. In fact George Harrison country licks (on Let It Be era) were inspired by Clarence White's playing, on the earlier albums it was Chet Atkins, Carl Perkins, and Buck Owens.
