Lester William Polsfuss (June 9, 1915 – August 12, 2009), known as Les Paul, was an American jazz, country, and blues guitarist, songwriter,
luthier, and inventor. He was one of the pioneers of the solid-body electric guitar, which made the sound of rock and roll possible. Paul taught
himself how to play guitar and while he is mainly known for jazz and popular music, he had an early career in country music. He is credited
with many recording innovations. Although he was not the first to use the technique, his early experiments with overdubbing (also known as
sound on sound), delay effects such as tape delay, phasing effects and multitrack recording were among the first to attract widespread
attention.
