Les Paul - How High the Moon (Live)

[@toucantango1]

Remarkable innovator.Played weekly in a jazz club at age 92!

I had the privilege of seeing him perform at Iridium, in NYC.

@ that’s great.

What a talented man he was. He and his Mary. Rest in eternal peace, Les and Mary. 🙏🌹

[@phee5198]

they got divorced about 50 years before he died yk.

[@ChrisJones-wu5cw]

Mad how he played this 🎸🔥💯

[@jimhynes7039]

Les Paul was one of those folks that was the bridge between 50s pop and early rock and roll.The stuff he did with Mary Ford especially How High The Moon are timeless classics

[@robertandrews2019]

Les Paul was always the coolest dude in the room.

[@GerryRed7]

What would guitarists be without that great man.... Les Paul?

[@maureenedonovan9935]

Still to this day. Guitarist want a Les Paul model guitar.

[@erniegamboa5609]

Pure genius... The Great Les Paul..

[@eldergeektromeo9868]

...and EVH...together! Two guitar players and inventors extraordinaire. Eddie loved Les! and vice versa! But Les would NOT give him a black box 🤭

[@brianherrington7226]

First true technician of the electric guitar.

[@jimsweikata5571]

I'm old enough to remember when "How High The Moon" first came out. Loved it.

[@jaroslavpolanecky7395]

This guy was a genius.

[@Ferocious_Imbecile]

He's not just the absolute master of the guitar beyond all reason, he's like the most loveable guy you ever met.

[@TheDCGuitar13]

Folks don’t even realize how much this man changed in the industry. Music as we know it wouldn’t be recorded as easily without his contributions

[@garywoeltjen7663]

My Grandmother took me to see Les Paul and Mary Ford in Chicago about 1951. He is now a legend...............

[@pzhikcloethaegeslikhrethyi4225]

wait how old are you i never saw someone this old on youtube

[@LionelStefan]

pzhikcloethaeges likhrethyioprioj how rude you are. Didn't anyone teach you good manners ?

[@pzhikcloethaegeslikhrethyi4225]

Lionel Stefan i was just asking i never saw someone that old on the internet

[@Meatballeater]

Lionel Stefan 😅

[@genemars5158]

@@pzhikcloethaegeslikhrethyi4225 There are lots of us old folks on KZbin. The thing is, unless I told you that I was old, you'd never know it from the way I talk (write, that is). If Gary never mentioned 1951, you would never have guessed him to be old. However, I would have guessed him to be old. Because his name is Gary, and 98% of all the Garys in America were named by their mamas after Gary Cooper, a famous movie star of the 1930s - '40s.

[@spooktasticaparanormal]

This man made a hell of a contribution to the recording of records and was way ahead of his time. He had a vision that can only be described as truly incredible. And the reason that 31 trolls gave this a thumbs down is because of pure jealousy because they are truly blown away by the real talent that is the legend Les Paul. So 31 thumbs down doesn't really cut it when they are up against 1.6k for the thumbs up. It doesn't really matter about how he did it live on stage. But at least he did it. Being pedantic has to be the most annoying of the human traits, so haters, get over yourselves. The man is a legend. !!!! FACT !!!!

[@RaysDad]

Over-the-top greatness of Les Paul!

[@iknowisuckdickbut9539]

We should get old musicians on stage more often nowadays. Not only can you listen to the classics but you get an extra story from an old timer. It's a buy one take one free.

[@jimmygubbins]

i love seeing older musicians and younger musicians together making music

[@ElliottCustomLures]

I saw Buddy Guy last year and it's so much fun. He has stories from every era of rock and blues.

[@elderherrera2238]

Somewhere s there's music. How near how far. It's in heaven. Where Les and Mary are.

[@raymondreeder3274]

Looping before looping was a thang 🙌🙌💯so 😎 cool

[@TheLunarSurface]

Remember hearing him and Mary on a record player as I drifted off to sleep about 10 years ago. I was only like 14 or 15 but it blew my mind what Les could conjure up with his magic. RIP Les Paul and Mary Ford 🕊

An emprisario the man's a genius 🎸 btw Mary Ford sorely missed she was a brilliant guitarist 🎸

[@horowizard]

Ever wonder what was inside the black box? Nothing. The Paulverizer was a bunch of switches and the wires went to a bank of tape recorders that were off stage behind the curtain.

Les Paul invented electricity!

[@donrutter6550]

Electricity in the guitar he did. His first one was a Ma bell telephone mouthpiece set into the guitar.

[@ryanwhiteguitar668]

He sure did. Him with Muddy Waters

[@genemars5158]

I think he also invented rock guitar licks; long before the term "rock 'n' roll" even existed.

Les Paul was the first looping Artist.

What a sheer, unadulterated genius this man was! Looper invention aside, just listen to him PLAY! No one else - ever. BTW, as an equipment nerd, I have to not he's playing a Gibson axe through the quintessential Fender Twin Reverb - two items that are almost as classic as the man!

He is actually much better than most of guitar players in the history of music

[@TheBigDaddy51]

and to think he very nearly lost the use of his arm in a car accident

[@middlesidetopwise]

The sample starts playing before he hits the button. It’s just a backing track

[@TheZooropaBaby]

he used loopers before it's cool

[@excruciatingorgasm9976]

Innovator of overdub and delay to be exact, actually.

[@4dee8eez]

He actually invented it...

[@dynjarren8355]

He invented it all! Multi-tracking is all Les Paul!

[@producer.james1]

It would be a very different story if Les Paul didn't invent any of these things to be honest.

[@0000song0000]

he's fantom about em. he's just playinh over prerecorded music... just triggering the tracks, each ove with an extra overdub

[@qua7771]

sha la la my baby

0:14.. She's pretty damn cute!

[@RonWatti]

Still fantastic!

He didn't need a band.. He can do itself

[@shawnohare2501]

Man he was Great! They should name a guitar after him! 😆

[@davidcudlip6587]

The thing with Les was he just didn't find a niche and stay there. He was constantly pushing the envelope and innovating. He was always open to experimenting with his instrument and sound. Pretty sure guitar and recordings would sound a whole lot different today if Les hadn't been here.

[@justingates9218]

Les Paul never did get the credit for this invention. Others did it in the 60's, but to my knowledge, Les Paul was the main man who invented this, and it was called the Les Paulverizer. It was a looper. Later on people stole this idea and called it a looper but this was all Les Paul's invention. Les Paul was a genius, as well as an amazing guitar player with such a unique style of music. There is no one that ever captured his style.

[@Bionicjoe]

It's just....EVERYTHING!!! If you took music and just ripped apart into a million pieces you know that it would come back together into something. But that something would be named Mozart, Beethoven, or Les Paul. A rock and a stick. A synth with 24-part harmonization in a sonically isolated booth. Doesn't matter. Les Paul will produce music.
