For all of my fellow guitars players here on the 405th that don't know yet.
A good friend of ours died on August 13, 2009. Now I know some of you are going to say, "It's been almost a week already." or, "I never knew that was a real person!".
Les Paul, The inventer of the solid body guitar died of complications of pneumonia at the age of 94.
His guitar, The Les Paul, is the most iconic electric guitar in rock history. Without this instrument, we wouldn't have our crazy metal bands,classic rock bands, or even that smooth jazz sound if it wasn't for him.
I am deeply saddend by this. He helped me become the musician I always wanted to be.
May you rest in peace Les. We will be playing on our les paul guitars in your memory.
