T Bone Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 I've posted this before, and I know it's been posted by others too, but it's been awhile and I can't see a way to do a proper search. I'll bet there are quite a few here who haven't seen it and would like to, so... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8O5wZAd2z4
diskotekno Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I think that commercial sums up most people. I would wager outside of guitar players there are few who could tell you who Les Paul was or what he looked like.

Rabs Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 These days, yes. But years ago, he was a very big star! Yup, has his own TV show and everything :)
pippy Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Yup, has his own TV show and everything :) Although I've seen it a few times before I still absoluely love that clip, Rabs. Les' playing there was sensational - the final two chords are especially wonderful! Previously I always suspected that a lot of it was speeded up but having seen Jeff Beck perform the same piece in the Iridium 'Tribute' DVD I've changed that assumption completely. Overtracked yes; but speeded up? Probably not. He was one Hell of a player! Mary Ford's inflection in the second verse is an absolute delight, too. Even the cat gets into the act, having a quick nut-lick at 1:29...lol! Great track; great clip! P. EDIT : I hope it's not deemed going too far off-topic but if anyone is interested here's the clip to which I allude with Jeff Beck, backed (or more accurately'fronted'!) by Imelda May. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abF9rZOxmx8 P.

Wow that was very cool, never seen that before. Thanks Pippy :) And yeah, I think I myself have posted that clip before but any excuse to get Les up on the Forum which may never even of exsisted if not for him. And yeah I love his playing in that, during the solo the camera has trouble keeping up with his hand movements.. Just an amazing player and man all round..
BobB Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Thanks for sharing. I had never seen that commerical before. Love it.
