Roger Dean (born David Roger Bryan Dean 16 March 1943 in Hendon Middlesex – died 3 August 2008) was a British guitar player and teacher. His professional career ran over 40 years until retiring following a car crash in 2004. During the sixties he played in a number of bands which left few traces in the history of popular music. The notable exception occurred when he joined briefly John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. Dean’s guitar is heard on Mayall’s first album and single.
