Les Paul is on PBS tonight - featured on the American Masters.
If you like guitar - you must watch! His influence on the modern guitar and multi-track recording is inspiring.
And best of all - he’s 90 and still jams.

I’m very excited for this program! Les Pauls are awesome guitars with a great history.

I recalled when I first pick up and played a Les Paul by Gibson made in the 50’s… What a memorable moment in my life. Truly a experience of I will always cherish, so I Thank You Les Paul and Norman Wilfong for a gift of a Life time!
Uggg! Didn’t see this announcement in time.
Sam - I’m sure it’ll be on again! It was pretty good - I really enjoyed seeing the multitrack recording equipment and seeing it evolve. I would have loved to have him ‘review’ some of the new units - I don’t frequent music stores much these days but pick up a guitar mag now and then and it’s amazing the technology they are cramming in such small devices!
I noticed checking my local listings its on again today @ 2 pm for me, and there’s a couple on Sunday evening. I’ll check one of those out.
Thanks for pointing this out!
I also missed the show but it looks like it on again on the 15th and 16th at different times depending on your location. The PBS has a good search feature from the above link. Iève seen Les Paul interviewed before and he has got some stories to tell.
Did anyone record this program? Digital or HD?
I’d be very interested in obtaining and watching this program. My father made some of the original Les Paul guitars at Gibson and he’s in this video. He’s one of the gibson workers behind the scenes when they were filming this.
