Dave Wakeling's guitar rhythm, is pretty tricky to get just right. Both Townshend and Gilmour were obsessed with this track and tuning. They thought it was DADGAD (same tuning as Zep's "Kashmir") but couldn't get it right. Winds up Wakeling had mistakingly tuned his G string up to A. LOL.

Check it out.

What makes Teegarden's drumming so impressive is the same with all those guys: It is inventive, and swings, but always professional and tipping the hat to the beat and time.
