R.I.P. - Les Paul

Saw the news today that guitar's legendary Les Paul passed away today.

My first half way decent guitar was a Les Paul knock-off which sounded great and played well, but weighed as much as my car (okay, almost as much). Which reminds me, I think I'll have to get a new Les Paul guitar, been meaning to add one to my collection. And I wonder how many other people are thinking the exact same thing.

This short clip is just one of the so many examples of how amazing and influential he was as a guitarist, not to mention the innovations he came up with for the electric guitar. Do yourself a favour and look up some more of his clips on YouTube.
