Guitar inventor and pioneer died of pneumonia. Even though I worked for Leo Fender when I was 21 I've always had respect for Les.
Theres a program that use to be on called Night Flight and they aired a documentary on him a long time and it showed you just how brilliant he was.
I believe it was either in the 50s or the 60s he came up with the Les Paulveriser which was a device that you played a riff, it saved the riff and played it back as you added another riff. The guy was a genius.
Anyone care to dedicate a song to this legend

it wasnt just the guitar tho, Rik.
The man invented multi-track recording as well. Most, if not all, of the recordings we have enjoyed for decades are a direct result of his work.
