#LesPaul, legendary American #jazz, #country and #blues #guitarist and luthier, was born on this day in 1915. Best known as the genius who invented the solid-body electric guitar, he died August 12, 2009 at the age of 94. “He made the very best guitar sounds of the 1950s,” said Brian Wilson. “There’s nobody that came close.” A long string of hits in the Forties and Fifties (on his own and with his wife, singer-guitarist #MaryFord) established his signature style: elegant, clean-toned, fleet-fingered improvisations on current pop standards. Paul created a groundbreaking series of technical innovations, including multilayered studio overdubs and varispeed tape playback, to achieve sounds nobody had ever come up with – check out the insect-swarm solo on his 1948 recording of “Lover.” In Richie Sambora’s words: “He had all of the licks, and when you heard it, it sounded like it came from outer space.” Photograph by William Gottlieb
