LES PAUL DOCUMENTARY

Here's a great documentary on Les Paul. I have only skimmed it, but among other things it has some nice clips of Les Paul playing with younger musicians. Late in life, Les's technique had largely wilted away from arthritis etc., but his tone is intact and you can get some insight into the way he thought about melody, chords, etc. Plus it's cool to see Les Paul's pedalboard-- okay, for me it's kind of fetishistic, so sue me.

Also, no complaints please about the commercials. You get serious length and quality here, unlike youtube. The downside is, you can't fast-forward through the ads. I know a lot of young people think the whole world should be available to them for free; maybe anyone that dumb won't want to watch Les Paul anyway.

Thanks to Howard Parker for forwarding this.
