| But anyway, on topic. He has my respect for his industry-making recording techniques. Modern music would be vastly different were it not for him. Not to mention the impact he had on guitar. I also thought his guitar playing was wonderful. It had a 'Django Reinhardt' feel to it, and the fact that he played well into his 90's despite arthritis? Well, I think that speaks for his skill quite sufficiently. He left quite the legacy. |

| Man it's so weird how I remember hearing this guy's name here and there and yet don't even know much of him. I'm not a musician or anything and I never really layed hands on an electric guitar, but still... wow! It's so just... weird how I didn't even realize what kind of legacy he gave. What's amazing is that his legacy is even in anime! *laughes* I'm not kidding either. I just checked for one of the famous electric guitars he built, the Gibson Les Paul, and that guitar is actually the very guitar Yui uses in K-ON! So weird how Yui thought that a legendary electric guitar was considered cute. I'm suprised no one... actually ya know what, I'm not that suprised that no one in this thread had pointed out the reference yet. Everyone was falling for so much of the "moe" content of that show, that I don't think anyone had cared part of the show was about music and references to music. |

| I have just done a little research. I can't find a quote saying he hated the design directly, but apparently many of the changes he wanted made to the original design were rejected. He may have been unhappy with this I suppose. |

Les Paul saw the new Les Paul and said he didn't like it, and he requested that his name be removed. Gibson complied, and opted to rename it the Gibson SG (SG being an acronym for Solid Guitar). |

I don't think it's worth the $1500 price tag, but for $900 it's an AWESOME guitar. |

I haven't played it for a month or two because one of the machine heads broke, and I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. Plus it seems like a decent deal, but when you throw in amps, wires, etc. you're in $350. And then you find out you don't even like playing the guitar! My advice would be to get a decent ~$200 acoustic, and go from there. I recommend the Mitchell MD100-S. Only puts you back 175, and she's a fucking beaut. Looks real sexy, sounds better than some higher end guitars, and can stand some wear and tear. It's an amazing guitar for the price. |

| Ibanez acoustics are also a good starting point. Even if you dislike the brand, the low model acoustics are damn cheap and yet built surprisingly well. |

Whereas acoustic guitars are going to be a tiny bit more expensive, but are going to be a much better deal in the long run, because they're so much more durable and clean sounding. |

| R.I.P Les Paul. Can't believe I almost forgot pay respects to him. |
| God, this conversation has turned ignorant fast. I'd say about 90% of guitarists are assholes. I can't get along with ANYBODY that also plays the guitar. Everybody just wants to show how god damn good they are, and forget that music is all about technical ability, it's also about putting soul into your music. Les Paul put soul into his music, and also made many technical achievements on the guitar. Soul is what separates noise from music in my opinion. Of course, being technically proficient makes it easier for you to express your soul with an instrument, but as far as I'm concerned if all you do is play other people's stuff and never bother to learn any scales or theory you aren't a musician. Also, being a guitarist myself, I actually consider guitarists as a whole to be the lowest class of musicians, only seeking attention and money. Of course, if you play for the right reasons, as few people do anymore, and you have a little bit of luck, money and fame will come to you naturally. TL;DR: Guitarists as a whole are jackasses. Now... OranSolus said: Come now, it's over. Let us please leave this thread for paying respects to the great man. :] |

Sickky said: God, this conversation has turned ignorant fast. I'd say about 90% of guitarists are assholes. I can't get along with ANYBODY that also plays the guitar. Everybody just wants to show how god damn good they are, and forget that music is all about technical ability, it's also about putting soul into your music. Les Paul put soul into his music, and also made many technical achievements on the guitar. Soul is what separates noise from music in my opinion. Of course, being technically proficient makes it easier for you to express your soul with an instrument, but as far as I'm concerned if all you do is play other people's stuff and never bother to learn any scales or theory you aren't a musician. Also, being a guitarist myself, I actually consider guitarists as a whole to be the lowest class of musicians, only seeking attention and money. Of course, if you play for the right reasons, as few people do anymore, and you have a little bit of luck, money and fame will come to you naturally. TL;DR: Guitarists as a whole are jackasses.
