Roger McGuinn

Roger McGuinn is best known for being the lead singer and lead guitarist on many of The Byrds' hit records, pioneering folk-rock in the 1960s, and contributing much to the band's unique sound.

The signture guitar sound that McGuinn developed is made by playing a seven string guitar, featuring a doubled G-string (with the second string tuned an octave higher). The Martin guitar company has even released a special edition that claims to capture McGuinn's signature 'jingle-jangle' tone which he created with 12 string guitars, while maintaining the ease of playing a 6-string.

In 1968 he helped create the groundbreaking Byrds album Sweetheart of the Rodeo, to which many attribute the rise in popularity of country rock. After the break-up of the Byrds, McGuinn released several solo albums.
