Roger McGuinn, standing at an imposing 6ft 1 ½ (186.7 cm), is an American musician best known as the founder and lead guitarist of The Byrds. His towering height contributed to his commanding stage presence, perfectly complementing his signature 12-string Rickenbacker sound that defined the band's jangly folk-rock revolution in the 1960s.

- Solo albums such as Peace on You (1974, US #92) and In the Spirit of Love (2002) highlighted his enduring career.
- Live releases like Live at the Boarding House (2014) capture his impressive stature in performances with peers including David Crosby and Chris Hillman.
