Les Paul [Lester William Polsfuss]
Lester William Polsfuss (June 9, 1915 – August 12, 2009)—known as Les Paul—was an American jazz and country guitarist, songwriter and inventor. He was a pioneer in the development of the solid-body electric guitar which "made the sound of rock and roll possible".
He is credited with many recording innovations. Although he was not the first to use the technique, his early experiments with overdubbing (also known as sound on sound), delay effects such as tape delay, phasing effects and multitrack recording were among the first to attract widespread attention.
His innovative talents extended into his playing style, including licks, trills, chording sequences, fretting techniques and timing, which set him apart from his contemporaries and inspired many guitarists of the present day.
He recorded with his wife Mary Ford in the 1950s, and they sold millions of records.
Among his many honors, Paul is one of a handful of artists with a permanent, stand-alone exhibit in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
He is prominently named by the music museum on its website as an "architect" and a "key inductee" along with Sam Phillips and Alan Freed.
Biography
Early life
Les Paul was born Lester William Polsfuss outside Milwaukee, in Waukesha, Wisconsin, to George and Evelyn (1888–1989) (née Stutz) Polsfus. His family was of German ancestry and Paul's mother was related to the founders of Milwaukee's Valentin Blatz Brewing Company and the makers of the Stutz Bearcat automobile; his parents divorced when he was a child.
The Prussian family name was first simplified by his mother to Polfuss before he took his stage name of Les Paul.
He also used the nicknames Red Hot Red and Rhubarb Red.
While living in Wisconsin, he first became interested in music at age eight, when he began playing the harmonica. After an attempt at learning the banjo, he began to play the guitar. It was during this time that he invented a neck-worn harmonica holder, which allowed him to play the harmonica hands-free while accompanying himself on the guitar. Paul's device is still manufactured using his basic design.
By age thirteen, Paul was performing semi-professionally as a country-music singer, guitarist and harmonica player. While playing at the Waukesha area drive-ins and roadhouses, Paul began his first experiment with sound. Wanting to make himself heard by more people at the local venues, he wired a phonograph needle to a radio speaker, using that to amplify his acoustic guitar.
At age seventeen, Paul played with Rube Tronson's Texas Cowboys, and soon after he dropped out of high school to join Wolverton's Radio Band in St. Louis, Missouri, on KMOX.

Ili Les Paul, koga svi verovatno znaju po ovom imenu (najpoznatiji model gitare na svetu, nazvan u njegovu čast, kao njenog mastermajnda, od strane Gibsona).
Postoji mnogo spekulacija, mnoge pretpostavke, ni jedna od njih ne može biti potpuno tačna, ali je činjenica da je on jedan od očeva Rock'n'Roll-a, najzaslužniji zato što mali dupeglavci kao Keith Richards nisu u završili u zatvoru ili kao čistači toaleta, graditelj puta po kojem i danas putujemo. Ne znam kako je to uradio, ali sam mu zahvalan na tome.
Činjenica da nije znao muzičku teoriju je manje važna.
