The
Google Doodle - a tribute to Les Paul
From Google:
The electric guitar brings back memories for me of exchanging riffs with
friends and wearing out cassette tapes as I meticulously learned songs.
Today, we’re attempting to recreate that experience with a doodle
celebrating the birthday of musician and inventor
Les Paul. For the next 24 hours on the Google homepage, you’ll find an interactive, playable logo inspired by the guitar developed by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee that made the sound of rock and roll possible. I hope you have as much fun playing with and sharing the doodle as we
did making it (special thanks to engineers Kristopher Hom and Joey Hurst
and doodle team lead Ryan Germick for their work). Crank up your
computer volume and make some music!
Update Jun 17:
Wow—in just 48 hours in the U.S., you recorded 5.1 years worth of
music—40 million songs—using our doodle guitar. And those songs were
played back 870,000 times! We’re glad you enjoyed jamming out last week,
and you can keep playing: the Les Paul doodle now has a
permanent home.
