Les Paul, 1915-2009

Les Paul, who was not only a gifted guitarist but also an innovator and pioneer who developed one of the first solid-body electric guitars, died on August 13 at the age of 94.
He was at the peak of popularity in his recording career when I was a child, but his influence extended into the rock 'n roll era and down to the present time; he was something of an icon to later generations of guitarists.
The video is part one of a documentary about him, and it gives a brief overview of how his career began.
