As a guitarist who grew up learning to play from Beatles records and
who's done a Beatles tribute show every year for the past ten, my vote
goes to the Czech guys for authenticity.
And if you want to see what I get up to with a little help from my
friends from time to time, check the last six minutes of Abbey Road
Side Two, from 10:00 onwards:

The guitarist you see most of is me, in the black and white shirt. (No,
I didn't commission the video, it was just some random person filming
from the wings) The other guitar player nearer the camera and further
back to the right of the screen is my pal Phil Hudson, late of the
Lighthouse Family and session player for Ms Dynamite and various
others....he's a far better player than me,
(as you can see from this clip of his Get Back:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWlXdv-FJF4 )
but he's much too lazy to learn all the correct lead parts for this
Abbey Road performance....whereas I'm a little more obsessive about
accuracy. You might recognise the girl with the red scarf as
singer-songwriter Claire Hamill. The drummer is Russ Field, from Midge
Ure's band,
The big Hey Jude finale (with Claire nearly peaking too soon) is here,
from 10:30 onwards:

And if you ever wondered if you can sing Get Back over Disco
Inferno...well yes, you can and we did it so you don't have to, from
9:00 onwards here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3ZhZbzL7gE&feature=channel
The drummer's my 14 year old son, Miles.
But hey, check out all the acts on the vid, it was great day,
Phil.
