“I don’t think of myself as a guitar hero,” Roger McGuinn tells Guitar World modestly. “I just like to play.” In fact, he suggests a little light-heartedly, his Rickenbacker-bred 12-string sound comes from a different instrument.
“I’m a banjo player,” he laughs. “I do fingerpicking on the banjo, like the three-fingered style. I definitely apply that to my electric and acoustic guitar playing.”
