Not underrated. He is being acknowledged by everyone in music industry and fans. He is inspiration for some musicians. He imnovated THAT guitar sound of 12 strings..Got awards

Underrated 🙄 Essentially everyone that plays an electric 12 string sites McGuinn as an influence

where was this?

Que suerte, adoro a Roger, te saludo desde Argentina octubre 2021

I had the privilege of singing with Roger and the audience on Turn Turn Turn and Mr. Tambourine Man. I was almost in tears as it brought back so MANY memories.

They both put their hearts and souls into it.

Ï😅iiiïi😅iip😅😅ii😊

Exceptionally talented.

To do all that you have to be a thinking guy, and listening to Roger it's obvious he is a very smart and capable dude; that is, a really, really good professional musician who could make almost anybody feel like a little kid next to him playing.

... and don't forget Sweetheart of the Rodeo.

That's a wise observation.

Great point, SG!! Good thinking and very observant! Braggards always go down hard and usually quick. To quote an excellent source: "Pride always goes before the fall."

I spotted Chad singing on Hootanny and have been a fan ev er since. As Roger just mentioned he play guitar and banjo for them for a few years. This interview was so interesting, for me the part about his playing for the Chad Mitchell Trio, and Yes, Chad has a fabulous voice.

Perfect on both points: Christian and humble! Beautiful! May our God bless him always!

Don't forget the collaboration of Tom Petty with Roger McGuinn in the 1980s; Back from Rio. It was a fantastic album.

@@cameronmccreary7697Oh, yes. Very true.

What made McGuinn’s 12 -string style so much different than everyone else’s was the Rickenbacker. The Ric 12-string doublets are backwards from every other guitar. It’s magic! Harrison was a genius, and one of my favorite guitarists, but McGuinn and his Ric 12 were a special magic.

@@drglennb Agree 100%. You sir have a great ear! Rare, very rare! Thank you for the comment. Lil

More to the point, Roger is the master of the Ricky 360 12 string.

Bob Seger rocks!

You mean Pete Seeger (wrote Turn, Turn, Turn)

check out the time he guested on Marty Stuarts show and they played together it was so cool

You probably dont give a shit but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my account password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me

@Jerry Xavier instablaster :)

@Melvin Reuben thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Melvin Reuben it worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my ass :D

@Jerry Xavier You are welcome =)

Thomas Kissick Great story!! :)

He always seems like such a decent down to earth man. It seems like he is very much changed from his older days.

Those are good memories and I was hooked the second I heard Mr Tambourine Man by the Byrds. I still find it amazing that Bob Dylan would've allowed his song to be debuted by the heretofore unknown Byrds. Roger McGuinn must've done some smooth fast talking !!

I also met him at the dentist. Three or four times. Multiple dentists.

lucky you

I would love to meet him just to Thank him for his blissful music. Thanks also to the amazing Pete Seeger who influenced Roger so much.

you must realy be a badass ! Bending them strings - wow ! But aren t you afraid yo re gonna fry in Hell s flames for mocking Him God in such a bad way - ?

I worked with a lot of those guys in the 70's, and they were very much influenced by the bands of the Byrds-Buffalo Springfield axis.

Check out Leo Koettke if you dig 12 string players!!

I don't know of any musician in any genre who has defined the way his instrument is played to a greater extent than the way McGuinn has defined the sound of the electric 12-string guitar.

@Musical Box you're allowed to listen to other players lol seriously Keottke took 12 string guitar to a whole other level.

Fully agree. Just saw him at Soka University on Saturday night. Incredible performance by a mist accomplished yet humble man! Kennedy Center Honors are appropriate!

Ditto, from another 66 year old, rum runner...

Hope your dream comes true!

Very touching

Hagstrom H-12 with the big 6x2 tuner headstock? Those are a beauty. Their weird 8 string bass from those years is very interesting too

Pina Colada Drinker Me I played a Hagstrom Bass in the 60's..I still have that Bass Guitar and Fender Bassman Amp..hard to believe, eh?🎸😊

Yes, Clarence did a great job in the later Byrds, but they much earlier had established their country-rock mark. He kind of brought them back to their roots and popularity, I think.

The history of the Byrds members who had a big influence on music wasn't limited to Clarence White; among them are Chris Hillman, David Crosby, Gram Parsons and others. The Byrds are a hugely important part of America's musical history, often just about all of it is good listening- and not just for the history, but fun to listen to.

rubbersole79 and REM

Especially on "The Waiting".

rubbersole Ive always thought petty downright plagarized Mgwinns voice and guitar also. Never bought a petty record but several byrdds and Mcgwinn solo. One had the song" car phone "....try to change it to" i " phone now.

They sing together on "King Of The Hill" -- a great song -- and honestly I have trouble telling who's who. Petty owes a lot to McGuinn both vocally and in instrumentation choices as well as well as style on many songs. One couldn't have a better touchstone.

@@KabobHope - I lived and played guitar in Florida in the 1980s and my neighbor had grown up and played music in that town in the 1960s. He told me about what a great impact Bob Dylan, and then the Beatles, and then the Byrds had on young musicians in Florida. I agree with you about the influence the Byrds had on Petty, but Tom Petty had quite eclectic tastes, and he wanted to write songs - so he was influenced by a whole lot of different styles. Plus, being able to play different styles could mean that you could get more jobs. Many beginner guitar players get jobs in groups that play music that they don't love because it's "paid practice" and so that music influences them a little. If you check out some of the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers box sets, you'll find an eye-opening variety of different styles of music, and not all of it is original.

Yes Roger is cool but wouldn't be as cool if it weren't for the Beatles.

...or REM...

um...you've got it reversed. Roger preceeded REM by about 20 years. He was a big influence on REM's musical style especially Peter Buck (another Rickenbacker fan) and not the other way around as you intimate. While Roger was already an accomplished folk musician (playing both 6- and 12-string acoustic guitars) before the Beatles emerged on the scene, it was their US appearance in 1964 and the start of Beatlemania that turned him on to rock 'n roll in a big way. When he saw and heard George Harrison playing an electric 12-string 360-12 Rickenbacker in the movie "A Hard Day's Night" in the late summer of 1964, he was hooked on rock 'n roll/pop. Because of his innate musical talent and creativity he, as well as other great musicians of the time, was able to take the folk music he had been playing previously, sprinkle in a dash of Dylan, and fuse it with the new, electrified sound of rock and create a new genre...folk-rock. The Beatles definitely influenced the Byrds, but the Byrds also influenced the Beatles. That hyper-creative 1965-1967 period witnessed both bands cross-pollinating each other musically. McGuinn and the Byrds were major musical innovators in heavily influencing the development of not only folk rock, but also raga rock, jangle rock/pop, psychedelic/acid rock, and country rock.

Pretty well covers it!

DV DODDS plagerizn petty i called him..didnt care for springsteen at all. But why" sprinsteen "on your short list ?

probably "snark" brand tuners !

@@robertanderson4913 ok

I think he resembles Adam Savage from Mythbusters, myself.

I think that, like most of our generation, we wanted both candidates(and most of the corporate/political party hacks) to be shot into outer space. The US lost something when most states banned public horse whipping for especially bad behavior.
