"Paul was a terrific jazz guitarist who invented the solid-body electric guitar in 1947, helping usher in America’s most liberating cultural invention of the latter 20th century, rock 'n' roll. He pioneered multitracked recording ... while allowing bands like the Beatles to make lasting works of art." |
