Les Paul





Les Paul (born Lester William Polsfuss on June 9, 1915) is an American jazz guitarist and inventor. He is one of the most important figures in the development of modern electric instruments and recording techniques.

He is a pioneer in the development of the solid-body electric guitar (the Gibson Les Paul, which he helped design, is one of the most famous and enduring models), multitrack recording, and various reverb and echo effects. Also, he devised what he called “close-miking” the method of putting the recording microphone as close to the source of the sound/voice as possible.



Think for a moment about what music would be like today without those innovations. Well. It just wouldn’t be here. That’s all.
