2182 Les Paul - Hip-Billy Boogie
 |
| From: The New Sound; Year: 1950, (1948 Single Release); Genre: Rock 'N Roll/Rockabilly |
Interestingly enough by trying to come up with music never heard before Les Paul created what has been used ever since in music: multi-track recording. On this song in particular he recorded and re-recorded his guitar playing to the point his guitar alone made the music of an entire band. Today that is no big deal, but you have to remember this was the first time it had ever been done. Also the main solo was recorded an octave lower than you actually hear; it was sped up so it could go higher in pitch than a normal guitar was capable of.
