Today, Google is providing all the people around the world with a chance to exhibit their guitar-skills with its Les Paul guitar Google Doodle. Les Paul was an American jazz and country guitarist, songwriter and inventor. Google has placed an interactive guitar on its homepage, which people can play and then later listen to. The chords change to Google’s colors when the pointer touches them and they give-off different sounds. Les Paul was born with the name Lester William Polsfuss, but was widely known as Les Paul. His other famous nick-names include; Red Hot Red and Rhubarb Red. Paul’s date of birth is the 9th of June, 1915, and today his 96th birthday is being celebrated. Les Paul is credited with developing the solid-body electric guitar which is the basis of modern-day rock and roll. Apart from that, Les Paul even came up with many recording innovations. Some of the techniques by Les Paul which gained wide-spread attention include; overdubbing, delay effects such as tape delay, phasing effects and multitrack recording. Les Paul also experimented a lot with his playing styles and came up with techniques like licks, trills, chording sequences and fretting. Back in the 1950s, he recorded with his wife Mary Ford and they sold millions of records. Les Paul is also an inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and he is one of the very few people who get a stand-alone exhibit there. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame also calls Paul as an ‘architect’ and a ‘key inductee’, which is a great honor for him. 
Les Paul became interested in music at the age of eight years. He started off by playing the harmonica, after which he tried his luck with the banjo. Later Les Paul started playing the guitar and it was during this time that he invented a neck-worn harmonica holder. When Les Paul used to perform, he played the harmonica with his mouth and used his hands for the guitar. After Les Paul’s discovery of his music interests, he thrived in the field and set an example for many musicians to follow. Les Paul passed away on the 12th of August, 2009, due to complications arising from pneumonia. He is survived by his four children and his companion Arlene Palmer.
