As most of you have heard, the legendary Les Paul has passed away at age 94.

Being a drummer and on the “outside” of the guitar world, I cannot fully grasp the importance that this man played in revolutionizing guitars. So you guitar players out there, let everyone know what the name “Les Paul” means to you and how you feel he affected the guitar world.
