So long LesPaul...rest in peace.

Here you can talk about whatever floats your boat. Your favorite movie, sports team, etc. If it's a little racey, I suggest you post in R&R, otherwise we'll move it for you.

So long LesPaul...rest in peace.

Post by Ephrum »

Les Paul died today of pneumonia at age 94.

He changed music as we know it, by making the guitar, electric.

Not to mention how good a player he was.

I thought it was worth posting.

I'm just thankful that I was able to see him perform live (at a small club in NY) with my father. RIP Les.

Also, he invented multi-track recording. Single most important figure in the history of recorded music? Probably.

My 1973 Les Paul Custom Deluxe Cherry Sunburst finish, God I love that thing, will have a black bow on it for some time. I got a chance to hear him in NYC a few times. What a great musician. He will be missed.

Truly one of the greatest innovators in the history of the electric guitar. God Speed Les and enjoy the jam. :)
