Paul began playing bass and guitar at the age of 13, shortly before his mother died.
And Ringo had already been in a band, for which he was the drummer, previous to joining the beatles.
So your info was incorrect
does learning young make you good? no it doesn't, i know people that have played guitar for years and still aren;t that great. i'm sorry but there songs weren't the hardest things to learn, they never really went out of there ways to come up with something overly amazing on the drum or guitar.. to me they just weren't the best instrument players.. they did get better as the beatles went on and afterwords.. but when they first started i don't think they were they great at all.. they could sing and make a good catchy song..
