Half of rating is from the critics and the other half from their fans. I don't think the feeling of fans for The Beatle should be seen as a criteria of them being over-rated. I don't think The Beatles are over-rate because simply they were the favorite band of their generation.

Who where you expecting George to play like Michael Angelo Batio?
That's just how they played guitar in the 60s, and I enjoy the style even if it sounds counterintuitive to how guitar playing should sound like. There isn't much difference imo in his approach to his guitar playing on that song than say how the guitar players of of the 60s played. The Rolling Stones and the Velvet Underground played their guitars like they were just a new members who joined a band. I think George's playing is brilliant now that you mention it, because it matches perfectly the style of the other musicians playing thier instruments in a somewhat sluggish and rough manner. It's suppose to be an
advant garde piece for it's time I think they did pretty well.
There are different versions of the song. I love Georges playing on Strawberry Fields Forever (Take 7 and Edit Piece) as well.
