BOC and EOC Week 10: Les Paul

Born on June 9, 1915, Les Paul was a famous jazz, blues, and country guitar player from the mid 90's. He was one of the first people to create an electric guitar. He helped to revolutionize music with his electric guitar. He is not personally known by everyone, but his name is known worldwide. Musician or not, most people have heard the name Les Paul sometime throughout their life. Les Paul made a name for himself by introducing the Les Paul guitar by gibson. It is easily one of the most well known guitars by people all over. Only recently dying, Les Paul lived to be 94 years old. Google has chosen to commemorate this historic icon on his birthday by transforming the logo on their website into a string instrument that you can both play and record.
Here is the song that I made through google's string instrument.
