Amazing version of the Moritat.

It's almost like watching a forerunner of MTV (back in the days when MTV actually played music videos). In any case, RIP, Les Paul. You made the guitar a very attractive musical instrument long before Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page.

Gosh!

What great tv!

[TheFrozenLads]

is that delay i hear? he invented THAT TOO?!?!?!

[Gasocaster]

@TheFrozenLads It was the "spring reverb" Les Paul invented, from noticing a screen door spring. Another guy before him used an amplifier, large water tank or pool with a mic on the other side for "delay" before Les. If you have a "Toys "R" us" near you you might look for a "zoom tube".
