Quest for rock 'n' roll - Les Paul on CNN

It's probably fair to say, rock 'n' roll is synonymous with the guitar -- if you like, the rock star's magic wand.

With this in mind, Quest visits the Iridium Club in New York City to meet American jazz guitarist and inventor, Les Paul.

Still performing at the age of 92, Paul pioneered the development of the solid body electric guitar and in doing so, created a sound that became the backbone of rock music.

A living god within the industry, Paul explains the beauty of the instrument that has defined his career and reflects on his enduring legacy to rock 'n' roll.
