Farewell to a legend, Les Paul

Farewell to a legend, Les Paul
Posted on August 13, 2009 .

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of a true legend in the music industry, an amazing innovator and guitar genius who had such a huge impact on guitar players everywhere, including The Ventures. It was our pleasure and privilege to have been invited to participate at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tribute concert for Les Paul last November in Cleveland, and to spend a little time in his company, along with all the other guitar greats who were part of that celebration of his lifelong contribution to music.

Farewell, Les Paul – you will be missed by generations of guitar players and musicians all over the world. Without your innovative ideas, the world of music would not be as it is today, and we would all be poorer for it. Rest well. You will not be far from our thoughts.
