In 2009, the legendary Les Paul passed away at the age of 94. In celebration of his life, this book, capturing Pauls own reflections on his remarkable inventions and guitar playing, was published as a high-end collectors edition. In 2015, Les Paul reached his centennial, and Backbeat Books is pleased to celebrate the legend once more in the first-ever paperback edition of Les Paul in His Own Words, making his fascinating story available to a wide range of readers. This book is the definitive work on the recording and electric guitar pioneer whose prodigious talents and relentless work ethic single-handedly launched a new era in American popular music. This authentic account of Les Pauls life is packed with words of wisdom and experience from one of the most important contributors to modern music.

Author Biography:

LES PAUL (1915-2009) 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. Among his many honors, Les Paul is the only person to be included in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the National Inventors Hall of Fame. MICHAEL COCHRAN (West Plains, Missouri) is an award-nominated author, music journalist, and music historian. He also authored Chet Atkins: Me and My Guitars, hailed by Guitar Player magazine as possibly the greatest guitar book ever written.
