The inventor of the famous Les Paul guitar talks candidly about his life and achievements in this documentary
| Changing Sound | 2010-06-16 | 5 / 5 |
| | I saw this program on PBS recently and was not aware that it has existed for sev years....it is fabulous and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have it in my Less Paul/Mary Ford collection.... |
| The amazing mind of Les Paul | 2010-05-24 | 5 / 5 |
| | Not just one of the best music documentaries ever made, it's one of the best "documentaries" period. This man was just an incredible ball of talent. I just wish Les Paul could have stuck around for another 100 years. Will anyone ever matter as much to the music world as Les Paul did?...I think not. |
| Les Paul: Chasing Sound | 2010-02-01 | 5 / 5 |
| | I learned a lot from this video. I knew Les Paul was an innovator but didn't know how prolific he really was. The interviews with him, alongside original guitars and recording equipment (some now in the Smithsonian) are fascinating. His recollections of working with big names such as Bing Crosby, Mary Ford, and Gibson are priceless. Speaking of Mary Ford - I had never really heard her like this. She was incredibly talented; a female Bing Crosby! Excerpts from Les demonstrating multi-tracking and stories of how he and Mary recorded in the bathroom, the car, and anywhere else where he could get the sound he wanted, make you feel like a part of it all. Les's exuberance for life (I don't think there is one moment in this video where he is not smiling!) continued to the end and this video aptly reveals that. Before I bought this video I thought - Yeah, people say Les Paul did a lot of things... Now I have some idea of the depth and breadth of his contributions. And I was pleasantly surprised to see the video contained footage of Les playing with current stars. If you are a guitar fan, if you are interested in recording techniques, if you like music from a by-gone era, I highly recommend this video! |
| One Great DVD | 2010-01-09 | 5 / 5 |
| | I saw part of this production on PBS and wanted to see the whole thing. I was not dissapointed at all. Gives a great insight to this musical genius. |
| Great insight into a modern genius | 2009-10-29 | 5 / 5 |
| | Highly recommended. An inspiring look into the life of the late, great Les Paul. Les Paul was one of the few modern innovators who could hold a candle to great inventors like Edison and Bell, and he smoked on the guitar! What he did for the world of music recording is also impressive, and anyone who records a note of pop or rock music is indebted to Les Paul. |
