Question
can you tell me the instruments that each of the band members play?
Hi, Jess, and thanks for your question.
All four members of the Beatles were very dexterous musicians, and could all play most instruments rather well, but their most prominent instruments were:
John Lennon: rhythm guitar
Paul McCartney: bass
George Harrison: lead guitar
Ringo Starr: drums
Hope that answers your question. Thanks again, and long live the Beatles!
Matt

Expertise
I have a somewhat elaborate knowledge of the band`s music and history, from their Hamburg beginnings to their demise in 1970, as well as secondary information from the post-Beatle years.
Experience
I can answer most questions about the Beatles themselves and their albums, as well as some information about the post-Beatle years. I do NOT, however, specialize in concert dates or Beatle memoribilia (i.e. special collector's items, etc.).
