Les Paul was a jazz and country guitarist and also a songwriter and inventor. He was a pioneer in developing the solid body electric guitar. The solid body guitar made it possible for “Rock and roll” to be as successful as it is today. With all of his talents and experience in playing the guitar he extended those techniques to making new styles and sounds that set him apart from his contemporaries and inspired many guitarists of the present day. Paul is one of a handful of artists with a permanent, stand-alone exhibit in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
