Google Doodle: Les Paul's 96th birthday

 

Les Paul has been celebrated on what would have been his 96th birthday with a musical Google doodle which reflects his guitar legacy.

 

The search engine company's logo is made up of a series of strings, which can be strummed with the mouse.

 

Les Paul, born Lester William Polsfuss on 9 June 1915, became a jazz and country guitarist. But his work as an innovator and inventor saw him create one of the first solid-body electric guitars in 1940.

 

His design was belatedly taken up by Gibson after rival guitar-makers Fender had already started producing their own version.

 

Paul's work on the solid-body guitar is credited with helping make the sound of rock and roll possible, and he was also a keen explorer of recording innovations.

 

 

 

Just had a mess round with it now and it's decent, not quite as addictive as the Pacman one but still a nice distraction.

Click on the mini keyboard thingy underneath where the second g should be first and then it should work.

 

I tried that, no joy.

 

Eventually got it working in Chrome, for some reason it wasn't working in Firefox.
