Les Paul has died at age 94. His electric guitar designs and innovations were central to the development of rock guitar artistry beginning in the early 1950s and continuing to this day. He was playing to the very end, too, in small groups in New York clubs.
So long to a great one...

His music was very easy on the ears and way ahead of its time.

Don’t forget that he invented almost every recording technique we use today.

Les Paul could do something with a guitar, that’s for sure.

He used to live in the next town over from mine (maybe still did). Anyway I can remember going to a birthday party at his house for one of his grandchildren (one of my childhood school mates). God bless him....

Many guitarists say they were influenced by Jimi Hendrix.
I'd say there would be no Jimi Hendrix without Les Paul.
