  2009年8月13日,为电子吉他和录音技术做出重要革新的Les Paul因肺炎并发症在美国纽约White Plains医院去世去世,终年94岁。
  Les Paul的真名叫做Lester William Polsfuss,他不仅是个伟大的吉他发明家并且是一名出色的吉他手,Les Paul同样也发明了多轨录音技术、延时效果和overdubbing,他为电吉他的发展和录音技术作出了巨大的贡献。
  通过Gibson公司Les Paul所设计的Les Paul Goldtop电吉他在生产出厂初期受到了巨大的欢迎,之后的Les Paul Custom 和the Les Paul Standard系列电吉他也今天也广受好评。
  Gibson公司CEO Henry Juszkiewicz在一份声明中向Les Paul致以了崇高的敬意。他写道:“今天,世界上失去了一位真正有这卓越创造能力的人,我无法想象音乐界如果没有Les Paul会是怎样。每当你见到他的时候,他总是面带微笑,在世界的任何角落他的技术和魅力都无与伦比。”


  Les Paul可谓是吉他制作和电子技术的智多星。他创造了多声道录音、磁带延迟效果等极具革新性的录音技术,更著名的是,他制作了以他名字命名的实体电吉他Gibson Les Paul,打着他名字的电吉他早已成为了20世纪最伟大的标志之一。Les Paul的一系列革新和创造推进了流行音乐的发展。在他生前的几年,尽管深受关节炎困扰,Les Paul还是坚持在俱乐部演奏。
  2002年接受一家电视台采访时,Les Paul说:“如果你只能用两根手指,你就得想想看,怎么样才能弹出和弦?所以你得想想怎么用几个音符来演奏出和弦。”
  Gibson Guitar总裁兼首席执行官Henry Juszkiewicz在得知Les Paul的死讯后说:“世界今日失去了一位真正富有革新精神的接触人才。我无法想象没有Les Paul的日子。他走进一个房间,就有能力让每个人面带微笑。他的音乐魅力非凡,他的技艺无人能及。”
  Les Paul从小就显现出不寻常的音乐天赋,那时他就会把家中的电器查下来看看怎样让那些部件发声。在家乡沃喀莎,他就被称作“沃喀莎的小巫师”。他13岁起就在故乡威斯康星州沃喀莎的乐队中演奏和声。Les Paul曾突发奇想的把家用留声机的唱针粘到吉他上,转动留声机的摇柄来放大他的吉他音量,在当地的一个野餐台上吸引了不少听众。


  20世纪30和40年代,Les Paul曾与众多知名乐队和歌手共同演奏。50年代初,还与当时的妻子Mary Ford合作推出了多首金曲,如《How High the Moon》和《Vaya Con Dios》等。
  Les Paul的吉他风格深受爵士乐手Django Reinhardt的影响,他以快如闪电的演奏和快速节奏而闻名世界。1948年,在遭遇一场严重车祸之后,保尔要求医生将他的手臂摆放成弹奏吉他的造型。

  Les Paul出生于1915年出生在美国威斯康星州的Waukesham ,在他13岁的时候就已经作为吉他手上台演出,之后Les Paul辍学开始专注于自己的音乐事业,他曾先后在很多乐队中担任吉他手,其中包括他自己所创立的Les Paul三重奏。

  Les Paul最大的成就是发明了实心琴体的电吉他。


  Les Paul从30年代即开始了实体电吉他概念的开发。1941年,他将一把吉他纵向切开,每侧拧上一个“4*4”的实心块。当时这把琴Les Paul称之为The Log,但是它使Les Paul确信,实体乐器拥有一种独特的音色,它产生的音乐也将拥有不一样的未来。 Les Paul于1945或1946年把他的设计送到了Gibson公司,但是市场对传统乐器的需求让Gibson公司觉得这种吉他前景暗淡。Les说:“他们 客气的把我请出门去,他们把它称为装了拾音器的扫帚把儿。” 然而,就在几年后,Gibson公司的管理人员就认识到了Les Paul实体吉他的重大意义与美好未来。

  Les Paul刚推出时有两个版本,一个是Les Paul与M.H.Berlin共同制造的Les Paul签名款,Les Paul本人更喜欢平面琴体的琴身,但是作为小提琴收藏家的M.H.Berlin则更喜欢相小提琴一样的具有圆弧表面的琴体。琴体材料方面,Les Paul选择是Maple琴体。喷漆方面,Les Paul认为当时Fender泛黄的白色喷漆显得很廉价,他选择的是黄色的喷漆。随后根据Les Paul与M.H.Berlin在琴体弧度上的争议,最终Les Paul发明了一个琴体具有弧度的“Trapeze”琴体。琴桥Les Paul则选择了拉线琴桥。而McCarty当时所制造的Les Paul,是已最初的Kalamazoo吉他为原型,弧面琴体、小提琴类型的琴头样式,都在McCarty制造的Les Paul中出现。
  但是Gibson公司的总裁McCarty 于1952年与Les Paul签定了Les Paul吉他的授权合同。随后Les Paul成为了当时世界上最伟大的吉他手。这种吉他首次结合了两种木材的使用,使用枫木做琴体表层,桃花心木做琴体,平衡了枫木的明亮音色与桃花心木的温 暖厚重音色。1954年,tune-o-matic琴桥应用于Les Paul吉他,双线圈拾音器也在1957年被使用。当1958年的Les Paul电吉他开始提供樱红日出色时,历史上最伟大的电吉他设计之一成型了。

1952年发行的Gibson les paul Goldtop

历史上的第一把渐变色Les Paul

序列号为8 3322的日落色的Les Paul.它是文献记载中最早的一把日落色Les Paul!这是唯一一把没有中央接缝的1958-1960年日落色的Les Paul.注意,这个琴弦的固定处也很特别.

1959年发行的Gibson les paul standard,成为了一代经典。

Rock guitar pioneer Les Paul dies
  Les Paul, whose pioneering electric guitars were used by a legion of rock stars, has died at the age of 94.
  Mr Paul died from complications of pneumonia in New York, according to Gibson, the firm that sold his guitars
  He is credited with developing one of the first solid-body electric guitars, which went on sale in 1952 and contributed to the birth of rock.
He also developed other influential recording innovations such as multi-track recording and overdubbing.
And he was credited with inventing the eight-track tape recorder.
U2 guitarist The Edge, Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, Guns N' Roses star Slash and The Who's Pete Townshend are among those closely associated with the Les Paul sound.
Slash described him as "an exceptionally brilliant man".
He said: "Les Paul was a shining example of how full one's life can be. He was so vibrant and full of positive energy. I'm honoured and humbled to have known and played with him over the years."
Fellow guitarist Joe Satriani called Paul "the original guitar hero," saying: "Les Paul set a standard for musicianship and innovation that remains unsurpassed."
Henry Juszkiewicz, chairman of Gibson Guitar, said: "His influence extends around the globe and across every boundary."
Gibson president Dave Berryman said: "As the 'father of the electric guitar', he was not only one of the world's greatest innovators but a legend who created, inspired and contributed to the success of musicians around the world."
Hall of Fame
Mr Paul was also a successful performer in his own right, notching up 11 number one singles and 36 gold discs with his wife Mary Ford.
He was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1978 and the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.
Les Paul began as a country and jazz musician, playing with such acts as Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole.
Unhappy with acoustic guitars, he had begun experimenting with guitar amplification at the age of 13 by placing a telephone receiver under the strings. He created his first solid-body electric guitar, dubbed "the log", in 1941. "I went into a nightclub and played it. Of course, everybody had me labelled as a nut," he later said.
It did not go on sale for another 11 years, by which time Leo Fender's rival Telecaster model was already on the market.
In 1948, Mr Paul almost died in a car crash that shattered his right arm and elbow. Afterwards, he convinced doctors to set his broken arm at a right angle in the guitar-picking and cradling position.
'Beautiful guitar'
He continued to refine his guitar design throughout the 1950s. Its basic structure has barely changed over the decades and continues to be popular among stars and amateurs alike.
Stephen Lawson, editor of Total Guitar magazine, said: "It was a beautiful guitar… it was hand crafted, it was carved, it was a really beautiful looking instrument.
His work on taping techniques began after World War II, when Bing Crosby gave him a tape recorder.
Multi-tracking - where separate recordings are combined - was first heard in the 1950 number one hit How High the Moon, a duet with Ford.
"I've been trying to imagine a world without Les Paul - it would be so different. Until he invented multi-track recording, you had to make a record gathered round a microphone in the middle of room," said Stephen Lawson.
"One of the most obvious classic Les Paul Guitar solos is Sweet Child of Mine by Guns N' Roses - that intro has such a distinctive Les Paul sound to it.
"It can go from a mellow beautiful sound that really hits you in your soul, all the way to a shredding searing lead guitar tone."
