BOC Week 10: Les Paul

Today marks a very important day in the music world. We remember and celebrate guitarist, inventor, innovator, Les Paul. His first made his name as a jazz guitarist then later recorded multi-layered pop hits. Amazingly Paul couldn’t read music but he had an uncanny ear and could structure the arrangements in his head. After getting his feet wet at an early age he began playing with various bands and learning from other artists. Dissatisfied with the electric guitars circulating in the mid-'30s, Paul, assisted by tech-minded friends, began experimenting with designs of his own. This is what really made his name in the music industry along with his great ability to arrange music.
