R.I.P Les Paul
Just got online and found out some bad news, it's a sad day for music. Les Paul has died at the age of 94.
Without him and his inventions music today would NOT be what it is.
Quoting Guitar player's article "10 Things You Gotta Do To Play Like Les Paul"
AS ONE OF THE FOUNDING fathers of the electric guitar, genius inventor and designer—and guitarist par excellence—Les Paul stands as one of our country’s greatest national treasures. A true living legend, Paul’s unparalleled career stretches back to well before the dawn of tape-based recording technology, and it’s safe to say that his influence has touched every guitarist who has since walked the planet. You’ll hear echoes of Paul’s playing in everyone from Jeff Beck, Keith Richards, and Danny Gatton to George Benson, Pat Martino, and Brad Paisley. But it wasn’t only Paul’s playing that cast a wide spell. His inventions literally changed the world.
