I don’t think I had even listened to Les Paul musically until I heard one of the old Les Paul Shows on archive.org. I knew of him because he had his name on guitars, obviously, but through my own background I was well aware of how he was also the innovator of recording techniques that paved the way for how we listen to music now. Until digital recording came along we were using versions of the techniques developed by Les Paul, and even now we’re doing the same thing but in modified ways. Multitrack recording, overdubbing, tape delay – he was at the forefront.
