There are not enough words to describe my immense appreciation, respect, and love for this man. God, what an influence he was and is to so many. I play on a Les Paul guitar and have recorded on mutlitrack recorder - none of which would be possible without this man. God Bless you Les! And to quote one of his great tunes, 'Vaya Con Dios'.
I grew up in the 50s listening to Palu on the radio and I am impressed to see upir videos about him. Great work and a great musician. There will never be another quite like him. Unique sound even today! Jim Miller At The Hop Productions.
@poinkero Actually, Les used recording at half speed as a way to get octave effects; a lot of his ridiculously high passages couldn't be achieved otherwise at the time. Now, when you use a pitch shifter pedal to play sounds an octave higher than the guitar can reach, you're actually copying the more natural technique of recording at half speed. One of the many tricks guitar players take for granted that wouldn't have been possible without Lester Polfus. ;)

This was nice, thanks for posting this.
Les Paul will be missed by many.
Over the top, So great
he was the worlds greatest guitar player ever and that was before rock and roll
What a mind-trip it must have been for people back then to hear those tape-speed tricks and overdubs for the first time.
En av de aller beste gitarister gjennom tidene.😀😀😡
when they made him they broke the mold ONE OF A KIND .
Gotta love that last image. RIP, Les.

RIP to a genius
"Whispering", what a great tune, I remember when Nino Tempo and April Stevens recorded it in the 60's.
rip Lester William Polsfuss

The palm muted sweeps on the first song are insane.
COOL! The Wizzard of the elctric gitar! Sublime!👍
It is terrible to think how rock and roll, multitracking, etc. would have been effected if this genuis had not been around
he's awesome wish I had him playing on my album!!!
Great, thanks.
just sweet!
Fantastic job on this video Loved it. going to save it. c]:-)
You lucky son of a gun!
You have a very special collection.
Good for you, DOG.....LOL.
The word you're struggling to find is "Affected". "Effected" means something quite different.
DAWG...
I know patti page did a bunch of multi tracking in her vocals.
But not sure of the timeline.
Did she adopt it due to les' lead?
does anyone know what he used to make those sounds ?

am I hearing a pitch shifter w/ the guitar?
at 5:57 it is unrefutable that the song was sped up. That note doesn't go that high on any guitar,
build a wall, and GET OVER IT!!!!!!! do'nt dwell on symantics!!!
