The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Les Paul
- A guitar is something you can hold and love and it’s never going to bug you. But here’s the secret about the guitar – it’s defiant. It will never let you conquer it. The more you get involved with it, the more you realize how little you know.
- Every setback might be the very thing that makes you carry on and fight all the harder and become much better.
- When you just get mixed up & there’s too much going on, then it’s time to pick up your guitar.
- To this day, no one has come up with a set of rules for originality. There aren’t any.
- This guitar is such a pal. It’s a psychiatrist. It’s a doggone bartender. It’s a housewife. This guy is everything. Whenever I find that I’ve got a problem, I’ll go pick my guitar up and play. It’s the greatest pal in the whole world.
- I don’t know of a guitar player that has only one guitar. They’re never happy with one. I’m never happy with just one of them. I woke up and ended up with six, even if you can only play one at a time!
- I never stop being amazed by all the different ways of playing the guitar and making it deliver a message.
- The audience, they’re not professionals. They just love music. It isn’t necessary to play over their heads to be admired.
- I used my mother’s radio as a PA system. I’d take the telephone, the speaking part, and take those two leads off and lead them into the radio and the sound would come out of the speaker.
- If I have to go around telling everyone how great I am, then there’s something wrong with my act.
Les Paul (1915-2009) was an American guitarist, songwriter, and inventor, widely regarded as a pioneer of the electric guitar and modern recording techniques.
Born Lester William Polsfuss in Waukesha, Wisconsin, he displayed an early talent for music, mastering the guitar by his teens. In the 1940s, Paul developed one of the first solid-body electric guitars, which Gibson later mass-produced as the “Les Paul,” revolutionizing the music industry.
His innovations extended to multi-track recording and overdubbing, allowing musicians to layer sounds and create complex recordings. Les Paul’s virtuosic playing and inventive techniques influenced countless artists across genres.
His partnership with Mary Ford produced numerous hits in the 1950s, blending his technical prowess with pop accessibility. Inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the National Inventors Hall of Fame, Les Paul’s legacy endures as a foundational figure in modern music.
