Guitar, studio wizard Les Paul dies at 94

[longam]

Back when I use to jam with friends, I always remember how the Les Paul was valued along with the strata caster, or were they the same? To long ago....

RIP Les, your legend will live on.

A said day, but a good long life. I have a Chet Atkins album with Les and Chet trading licks and barbs in the studio. A whole lot of fun.

Invented the electric guitar, as well as multi-track studio recording and a whole lot of other things.

Here is a great example of his playing:
