the legendary Les Paul died today. sad, yes, but he accomplished an awful lot in his 94 years on this earth.
without Les Paul, we would not have rock and roll as we know it. "His inventions created the infrastructure for the music and his playing style will ripple through generations. He was truly an architect of rock and roll."
not only was Les Paul a great musician, he also pioneered the solid-body electric guitar [the modern day electric guitar]. he also invented recording techniques that revolutionized the music industry.
guitarist Joe Satriani called Paul "the original guitar hero," and i couldn't agree more. "Les Paul set a standard for musicianship and innovation that remains unsurpassed."
RIP Les Paul
