JUST BEFORE HIS 90TH BIRTHDAY, the late guitar pioneer Les Paul sat down to explain how he went from working at a drive-in barbecue to inventing the hallowed six-string instrument that bears his name. It seems he was inspired to create his trailblazing solid-bodied electric guitar – which would give the world the tool to rock – because his audience of passing customers couldn’t hear him over the traffic.
“People would drive up and listen to this guy – me, I was Red Hot Red then,” he explained in an interview filmed four years before his death in 2009. “A car hop came over to me with a note saying: ‘Your voice and your harmonica and your jokes are funny, I can hear them well, but the guitar is not loud enough.’
“That really, really interested me so I went home and started work on the electric guitar.”
The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete
It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete
