Aye lads he is. Beck played ALL instruments on most of The Monkees stuff! Duane Allman was in fact a virtuoso tamborine player. He wrote the famous books "Tamborine in a day" "Three Chords On A Tamborine" and "Advanced Tamborine Techniques" these were published under the pen name Dan Alman, but are sadly out of print and nowadays change hands for enormous amounts of money.
