Any thoughts on Les Paul (electric guitar inventor) who recently died?

How did his inventions affect you? (how to mix music tracks, etc.)

He was a great technological inventor - not only guitar design, but inventing multitrack recording and doing pioneering work on guitar effects.

He was also a first rate guitarist, a pop star (with wife Mary Ford) and a gigging guitarist into his nineties.

He is an absolute legend, I would be proud to have a small fraction of that life. RIP Les.

Outside of the guitar, he is one of the pioneers of multi-track recording. While I don't make a living in music production, I have recorded and mixed tracks on everything from my personal Pro Tools rig to an SSL console complete with a 24 track analog tape machine. All of this is a direct result of Mr Paul so I can safely say my life wouldn't have been the same without his inventions.
