Ummmm.  I'll give you Keith and John.  It took a while for Pete and Roger to 
get up to speed.  You can see it happen.  They couldn't do the harmonies 
until Pete could play the guitar and sing both, because John had no ear for 
it.  By Monterey Pop they had that down, and the next year Roger made the 
transformation into TOMMY.  By '69 they were better than The Beatles.
