About the Beatles

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were just Liverpool teens in the late 1950s when they formed what may just be the most influential band in rock and roll history. Over the next ten years, they would write a bevy of songs that still receive air-play today.

The Beatles officially broke up in September of 1970, although the band had been suffering from stress fractures prior to that date. John Lennon had actually left the band in May of 1969 without making his departure public. The news didn't reach fans until the release of Paul McCartney's first solo album, McCartney.

While all four members of the band wrote songs, it's the Lennon-McCartney team that proved to be the most fruitful. However, some of George Harrison's songs have also withstood the test of time, and a few of the band's favorites were actually cover tunes of other artists. As each successive generation of guitar players comes along, the Beatles' music is rediscovered, and the Beatles tabs experience a resurgence in popularity.
