Lester William Polsfuss, known by his stage name “Les Paul,” died today at the age of 94. He was the father of electric guitar, as well as an innovator in guitar playing. One of the most popular guitars in history, the Gibson Les Paul, was named after him.
RIP, Les Paul. Your jazzy riffs will not be forgotten.
Yes it does suck, along with recreational drug use, drinking, ear tunnels and Christian rock/metal.
Every Coldplay song sounds the same, and they practically put me to sleep…
