If nobody had ever heard of Gibson Les Paul's, he would still be more important to us than any believe.....

delay, flanging, overdubbing, multitrack recording......


Goodbye to the father of modern music.

    I believe I can speak for the entire guitar playing community when I say 'Rest In Peace'.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    +1. This is a man that played the same club in New York for the past how many years now? Pure love for music clearly, and it's sad that his time has come.

    The BBC did a really great program on Les last year called Les Paul: Chasing Sound. If you never watched it I'd recommend doing so as BBC4 is bound to repeat it some time soon I'd imagine. For those outside the UK, bittorrent is your friend.

    R.I.P Les.
