We remember Les Paul (1916-2009) and the electric guitar!

Les Paul was bon in Wisconsin on this day in 1916.   

We don't think of Les Paul as a rocker. However, he had a huge impact on every rock song recorded with an electric guitar.

This is from the AP:
"As an inventor, Paul helped bring about the rise of rock 'n' roll and multitrack recording, which enables artists to record different instruments at different times, sing harmony with themselves, and then carefully balance the "tracks" in the finished recording.
He was a wonderful guitar player and set the table for guitars to come!
