RIP Les Paul, certainly a loss that will be remembered. Still playing in his 90's with a couple of paralyzed fingers is impressive.

I am huge Les Paul fan, I found out about him because of guitarists that mentioned him as a influence like Steve Howe and every other guitarist from the 60's and 70's. I collected some stuff of his, and from watiching videos of him you could he was fun to be around with, he had a great personality, he was hysterical too, always laughing and telling stories.

He was an awesome guitar player, and Les Paul & Mary Ford were one of the biggest acts in the 50's with 40 top 40 hits, 2 Numbers One hits. I always thought it was a shame that he contributed soo much to the musical industry but because he wasn't "Rock n Roll" his name very rarely came up in documentaries etc.

one of my favorite Les Paul songs:
Les Paul & Mary Ford - Smoke Rings


RIP Les Paul

I'm pretty sure he was a pioneer of multi-track recording. I could be wrong though :o

Yes he was. He changed a lot about how music was made.

There was a pretty decent doc on the BBC this year about him.

He was a great guy, I saw him play live several times and chatted with him on two occasions, he always had more energy than I did.
