Paul's main skill is as a singer. He was a pretty decent bass player though.

It is also important to avoid judging the Beatles' instrumental skills on the basis of the years where they were no longer touring. A lot of people make this mistake. Hundreds of hours in the studio can make George Harrison sound like Jimmy Hendrix.
