I think Tork was a guitar/piano player who had to switch to bass and Dolenz was a guitar player who had to learn the drums.

Right. Aside from the praise of Jones’s drumming, it’s been said that it would have been better for Tork to have been the lead guitar, with Nesmith on bass, and I believe they’ve done that on some songs during their various reunion gigs.

I can’t remember who had played what but they were ALL musical before the TV show. They get a bum rap on that score.
