Guitarist Les Paul died yesterday. Nobody has defined his legacy better than The Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards- “We must all own up that without Les Paul, generations of flash little punks like us would be in jail or cleaning toilets.”

Musical artistry aside, his enduring contribution to future rock generations is the Gibson Les Paul, a guitar model that was to become an icon of class, ability, and just damn good music. Below, TDOV presents a few songs recorded using the iconic model, so that we may celebrate the man, legend and real American Guitar Hero.
