Les Paul, a legendary guitarist and inventor, revolutionized music recording in his Hollywood garage by developing innovative techniques like overdubbing and echo. His work led to the creation of the first commercial pop record with layered instruments. To honor his legacy, a new recording studio in Hollywood has been established, featuring Paul's original equipment and serving as a hands-on museum for artists and students. This venue allows users to experience and learn the recording methods Paul pioneered, retaining both historical and practical significance in music technology.
"We have the Wright Brothers' plane in there and it actually flies," said Michael Braunstein, comparing the historical value of Paulâs recording equipment to iconic innovations.
"Technique so good it's ridiculous" is how Billboard recognized Les Paul's pioneering instrumental single "Lover," which was the first to use overdubbing and multiple layers.
