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 !!!!

@@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.

This is even more amazing when you consider the time he did everything, Can't be heard in the bandstand? Invents electric guitar. Can't find competent backing band? Invents looping. Can't get enough sounds when recording? Invents multi track recording. Without Les Paul, modern music would not be what it is today.
