Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I last posed anything so here is my new piece at last.
I wanted to pay tribute to the guitarist, singer and songwriter Roger McGuinn who was a guitarist and lead singer of one of the greatest folk rock bands called the Byrds, which also happens to be one of my favourite bands. The Byrds were really successful in the '60s and '70s. I originally wanted to recreate all 5 members of the band but I soon realized it would take a significant amount of time so that's one of five :). The set I put him on is supposed to recreate the atmosphere of the Byrds' live performance as they appeared on the Sullivan show in 1965 with their hit song "Turn, Turn, Turn".I believe you could watch it here:

His guitar is a Rickenbacker 330/12, a twelve-string electric guitar which gave the characteristic "jangle" sound to all of their songs. I don't claim that my image bears a striking resemblance to the original as it was really hard to find enough reference to work from, but I hope that at least I've captured a bit of the spirit of that era. I hope guys like it, and rock on!
