Roger is one of my favorite musicians. Among Byrds recordings, Mr Tambourine Man (a Dylan song that even he didn't recognize the first time he heard the Byrds version) and Turn, Turn, Turn are probably the "trademark" and best known songs. Roger is known for his "jingle, jangle" guitar sound; it's something to see and hear. Martin Guitar just issued a new SEVEN string guitar, designed by Roger. With that guitar (the G-string is doubled as with a 12 string, but the other 5 strings are not), you (or at least Roger) can get the signature sound yet have the flexibility of a 6 string. If I could play a bit better (a lot better), I'd get me one of those!
