(Book). Journey through the career of musical giant; milestone guitarist; and recording innovator Les Paul; and marvel at the world of cutting-edge guitar design! This book; along with its companion book The Modern Era of the Les Paul Legacy 1968-2007 emerged out of author Robb Lawrences years of research; interviews; extensive vintage archives (including original Les Paul/Mary Ford articles; press photos; music and recordings); and gorgeous original photography. Its all here: the factory pictures; the designers; the electronics; the first experimtela "Log" and "Clunker" guitars; stories of the various Goldtops; the humbucking pickup evolution; and pages dedicated to the heralded 50s "Sunburst" Standard. Exclusive interviews with Les Paul; as well as Michael Bloomfield and Jeff Beck. A beautiful and insightful book on a legendary inventor; musician and his partnership with Gibson to make the worlds most-cherished electric guitar.

But with that said; you really dont need to know any German to find this valuable book.It does take some getting used to the slowness of this edition on Kindle. It is also an attractive book; obviously intelligently compiled. The tangles are clearly explained and the examples of the possibilities for their use encouraged me to work on the harder ones. This is a challenging collection worth adding to your library; in particular; if you are getting a bit stuck; blocked; or bored. There is nothing like a new book to rekindle (tee hee) my enthusiasm. You could also use it to learn German.. There are familiar tangles and new tangles. I do wish they would put out a paperback edition.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Sehr gut! Sehr; sehr gut! Magnifico!By IMNotUFANTASTIC.Takes several touches to change pages; but worth the wait. Amazing stuff.I hope its translated into English - but even though my German is rudimentary; I had no problem following the step-outs. I would like to understand more of the text; which Im sure is quite interesting and entertaining. Five stars!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

Lots of tangles clearly illustrated and you do not need to know German (I dont) to use and enjoy this book.
