Peter was an actor, musician, and Folk-singer when he auditioned for The Monkees.... but he didn't come close to Mike Nesmith's playing and songwriting abilities, IMHO.
Yes, Peter played both guitar and bass, but he certainly wasn't a super-star on either instrument.
Did you know that Mike Nesmith wrote the Top Ten song "Different Drum" for Linda Ronstadt & the Stone Ponies.
That's the song that kick-started her career as a singer!
The title of this thread is "Great Rhythm Players."
Is Peter Tork a well-known rhythm guitarist? That's news to me!
