Yet the Beatles in the end did their own thing something like a "Day in the Life" or "I Am the Walrus" brought together the classical orchestra, the rock band, and the technology of the studio, bringing together three disparate worlds: pop entertainment, avant-garde composition, and high-brow artistic sensibility is unlike anything the people you say were standing on the shoulders of giants. They surpassed them IMO and many people feel that way.

I don't know when The Beatles surpassed any of their influences when it comes to playing guitar or singing. The Beatles never surpassed Elvis as vocalist. And they didn't surpass many of the guitar players that influenced them. Only when it comes to their songwriting ablity. None of those songs would be the finished products as we know them if it wasn't for the talents of George Martin and the musicians of the studio orchestra that played on their recrodings.
