You really should listen to the old Les Paul & Mary Ford TV black-and-white linkies on YT. They still sound fresh (and often, hilarious). What I didn't realize was that his wife was an extremely accomplished guitarist too. You will be well-pleased viewing/listening to many of these. Flying fingers. Dulcet voice.

The man had amazing fingers. There would be no rock-n-roll (as we know it; and no metal, certainly) without him. Which influential rock (or country, or jazz, etc.) guitar player didn't he influence?

I had a great - they were all great - 1966 Gibson LP in the 70's (before I pretty much permanently switched to Strat' style solid-bodies).

RIP old friend. Say hello to Michael (Hedges) for me. See you again ...someday.

2 Actually, the first vid I posted was one of his old show with Mary Ford, but I changed my mind.
