McCartney's bass lines on "Something" and "Come Together" are considered magic by bass players the world over.

His piano playing was also exceptional, as was his guitar work.
Was he a shredder like Steve Vai? Of course not, but his songs didn't call for that...
Ringo is a god to drummers such as Dave Grohl, Max Weinberg, Questlove, and other iconic players...

His fills on songs, such as "Rain" and "A Day in the Life" are iconic...

And don't even get me started on how Harrison evolved as a guitar (and sitar) player.
