In memoriam:Les Paul (June9,1915–August13,2009)

Thursday, August 20, 2009

The solid-body electric guitar is more than just an instrument. It’s a work of art, used by musicians the world over.The man we have to thank for that is Lester William Polsfuss, also famously known by every self respecting headbanging metalhead as Les Paul.

The have this man to thank for that. Les Paul arguably did more for the evolution of music in the past 50 years than any other man. His legacy is that of millions of men and women that pick up their first guitar, suck at first and then learn to create magic jamming right from their garage inside closed doors to the Stages wit millions of fans cheering for them.

For the man who created Magic: RIP
