Avis sur le produitLes Paul - Chasing Sound (DVD, 2007)

Les Paul, iconic innovator

This DVD is an outstanding introduction to the technical innovations and musical mastery of Les Paul. A precocious childhood and quest for musical perfection both in performance and in the instruments he played led him to develop the first electric guitar (Fender claims the same, though Paul's prototypes predate those of Fender) and multi-track recording setting the foundation for today's recording industry. Paul is very engaging in telling his own story and for a certain generation, his discography is so familiar. This DVD is a must see for everyone. Paul's history and contribution should be better known.Lire l'avis complet...

Les Paul complete

An excellent documentary/ overview of the career life of les Paul. Details, anecdotes told by the man himself, w added comments by associates & fans throughout. Special interest are the DVD extras--- television spots,interviews, old short film clips, unforgettable scene where he & Mary perplex Alistair Cooke. Missing the 1978 today show performance w Chet Atkins, the early 80s Coors beer commercial- would've been nice add-ins. Also,at least a photo slide show of les' s creations-- meaning guitars. Overall,for whatever price a great value, highly recommended. RcWolfe 09Lire l'avis complet...

Chasing Sound-Les Paul

So many wonderful guitar players who actually play the worlds finest guitar. I was prompted to buy this DVD after reading reviews by Les Paul guitar owners (like myself) who praise the guitar highly. The body-mahogany with a maple top-has retained the shape for many years but the other furniture changes, or can be changed, to suit the players. The story is fantastic and I will watch it often because once you own the guitar the magic of it is always beckoning you to play and learn.Lire l'avis complet...

If your into the history of music this Les Paul DVD is the for you!

Lester William Polsfuss, known as Les Paul (June 9, 1915 – August 12, 2009) [3][4]was an American innovator, inventor, musician and songwriter. He was a pioneer in the development of the solid-body electric guitar which "made the sound of rock and roll possible". He is credited with many recording innovations, including overdubbing (also known as sound on sound), delay effects such as tape delay, phasing effects, and multitrack recording.

His innovative talents extended into his playing style, including licks, trills, chording sequences, fretting techniques and timing, which set him apart from his contemporaries and inspired many of the guitarists of the present day. He recorded with his wife Mary Ford in the 1950s and they sold millions of records.

Among his many honors, Paul is one of a handful of artists with a permanent, stand-alone exhibit in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is prominently named by the music museum on its website as an "architect" and a "key inductee" along with Sam Phillips and Alan Freed.

Living History, living musical Einstein!

This was a walk through history. If you love the guitar, he has taken this instument to a level never before thought of. Not only the amplification of sound, but many playing techniques are now available that wasn't possible before. This man deserves more honor and attention that he has received. He is a musical Einstein. Children should be reading about him in their American history books, right alongside Edison and the Wright Brothers! Recording would not be what it is today without this man's invention of layered tracks.
Thanks Les Paul! You are a great American! Wish I could learn all you have forgot on the guitar! Your a hero!Lire l'avis complet...

Les Paul - Chasing Sound! (2007, DVD)

Les Paul has been one of my favorite musicians for 50 years. This DVD does a great job of describing his impact on all music, and also showcases the man himself. The performances of Les at age 90 at the Iridium are lots of fun. The DVD also has some great "Old time" video clips of both Les Paul and Mary Ford. If you like GOOD music, you will like this DVD,Lire l'avis complet...

Chasing Sound

Les Paul has had as much impact on modern music as any other musician or music technician. Not only is he a great guitarist but is also responsible for the development of the electric guitar and sound layering. Another fantastic attribute about this amazing man is that, being in his 90's, he has played with some of the greatest musicians and singers of all time. . . many no longer with us. The DVD is awesome and anyone who loves music will love this DVD.Lire l'avis complet...
