Les Paul & Mary Ford - Mockin' Bird Hill [1951] descargar videos gratis
Lester William Polsfuss (June 9, 1915 -- August 12, 2009)—known as Les Paul—was an American jazz and country guitarist, songwriter and inventor. He was a pioneer in the development of the solid-body electric guitar which "made the sound of rock and roll possible". He is credited with many recording innovations. Although he was not the first to use the technique, his early experiments with overdubbing (also known as sound on sound), delay effects such as tape delay, phasing effects and multitrack recording were among the first to attract widespread attention.
His innovative talents extended into his playing style, including licks, trills, chording sequences, fretting techniques and timing, which set him apart from his contemporaries and inspired many guitarists of the present day. He recorded with his wife Mary Ford in the 1950s, and they sold millions of records.
Among his many honors, Paul is one of a handful of artists with a permanent, stand-alone exhibit in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is prominently named by the music museum on its website as an "architect" and a "key inductee" along with Sam Phillips and Alan Freed.

Great posting! Not only is the audio razor sharp and clean, the pictures are exceptional - 'pan and scan' editing effects are great! I just remember playing this on a single song '78' on our 1953 Philco radio/phonograph when I was 5 or 6 and watching that purple Capitol label go round and round like mad. It was always over too soon. Back then 2 1/2 minutes was the norm for song lengths. I understand Les and Mary did most all of their recording at home - in the kitchen, the bedroom - you name it. Les liked the different acoustics each room would give. He also recorded with a professional Ampex reel to reel recorder (351?) and a Neumann U-47 tube mike - the best mike ever made - hands down. (One in perfect shape goes for over $12,000 now on Ebay, if you can even find one!) That electronic combination is why the masters are so clean with plenty of dynamic range. The pressing, phonograph needles and cartridges were the weak links in reproduction.Les got Ampex to build him the first 8 track 'multi-track' recorder by stacking 8 Ampex amps in a rack - about 6 feet high and building him special 8 track record, playback and erase heads. The way he got all those chord progressions and glissandos executed so fast was because he recorded them at 7 1/2 inches per second and played them back at 15 ips. Many guitarists marveled at how he could play so fast. Well, Les was fast, but the speed change made him "supersonic." Pretty cool effects - a process that was copied by other artists for a long while.8 years ago
