Les Paul passes away

Musician and inventor Les Paul passed away Thursday. Paul was a master musician but his mark on music will probably be the innovations he fathered in recording and playing music, Paul will be remembered as the inventor of the electric guitar. He was one of the first to add pickups to a guitar. Paul was also an innovator in multitrack recording. I think it is safe to say that Les Paul invented the way that most music is recorded today. His innovations literally changed the world of music.
