A tribute to Les Paul

Les Paul & Chet Atkins


There's more than one way to play a Gibson Les Paul though...

Bend it:

Gary Moore with Phil Lynott - Parisienne Walkways (live)


Bow it:

Dazed And Confused - Led Zeppelin (Video)


And finally, well there's another way. Bugger it:

Les Paul, guitarist and inventor, dies

Guitar legend Les Paul has died aged 94 of 'complications from pneumonia'. The man who gave us the solid electric guitar and paved the way for rock and roll, passed away in hospital with his family by his side.

I am saddened, as the instrument I've used for the last 25 years is a Les Paul Signature Bass. Mine is black though and worn by use, and the best instrument I have ever played.

Go in peace Les, millions of musicians will remember you. Grow into these trousers... >>
