If wasn't for Les Paul and Chet Atkins music would not be the way it is today. Not only did Les Paul invent the electric guitar but he also was responsible for multi- track recording,and the accurate turn table (made out of a Buick flywheel) for playing records, vinyl I believe it's called today. He was a master guitarist and was emulated by everyone now and then. Chet Atkins just about or did own RCA records in Nashville and invented many of the recording and engineering techniques that lead way to state of the art recording studios used today. Chet is responsible for many careers that started in Nashville, Jerry Reed for one. Both of these men were innovators and master musicians and will be terribly missed. You tube them and watch for yourselves. Sorry to go on like this but we as musicians should never forget how this all started and should always pay homage to the inventors of our trade. I don't play dressed because my boobs get in the way and just seems weird for some reason. Hugs to all!!!!Originally Posted by avant1465
