Les Paul was a true gentleman and one of the world’s most interesting guitarists. I saw him perform a few times in NYC and it was a treat to listen to his stories and beautiful music. He invented the solidbody electric guitar (which bears his name) and also invented multitrack recording. His ingenuity as a musician and technologist is well known, and I’m sure that others will more eloquently eulogize him. I’ll say this: Les Paul made me dig deeper as a guitarist, and he remains one of my favorite players of the instrument. Godspeed, Lester. You opened a door for me.
