Google Les Paul logo Today

Check out Google's logo today. It's in memory of Les Paul, who died on this date. Run your mouse cursor over the strings.

 

lol yea i was playin with the strings earlier this morning

 

Google rocks...I liked the Jacques Cousteau one they meade earlier this year or late last year.

 

So cool. Thanks for pointing it out!

 

I was playing with it as well. I was able to play a rudimentary version of "Dream On"

 

You can also hit different keys on the keyboard to play. You can go really fast aopiwehgoijzse,kfjaiopwefj for a wicked solo. lol

 

Yoiu can record what you played by hitting hitting the black button under the strings and play it back hittin the arrow on the left.

 

thats awesome

 

its hard to do that solo haha i can only remember some of it before i forget

 

I was wondering what that was

 

nice.

 

That is pretty focking cool.

 

cool how you can record, play back and play over the playback...


1234567890 are the easy keyboard shortcuts

 

Saw that too, really cool.

Remember when they had the Pac-Man logo that you could play.

That helped time at work go by.

 

i played with it for a while myself. any body interested in les paul and have time to kill this is a cool documentary they released on hulu 2 years ago when he died.

and with what NYCO said about the numbers, you can play it like a piano with the numbers. take 3 fingers on 1, 3 and 5 and hit it once and go "up" a half step - so 2,4,6, then to 3, 5, 7. It will be "lean on me". (there's tons more of course, that's just an easy one that works in that key )

EDIT: see if this works - http://goo.gl/doodle/meVQ
EDIT 2: it worked!! OP, tell people to post their recordings. this could be pretty cool.

 

that's cool...worked for me too

stole your idea...my lean on me... http://goo.gl/doodle/5vs9

 

I just foud out that you can use your keyboard to control the strings.

LMAO... did you think my letters were a real solo? I was just saying you can hit random keys like this poehgpioajeflmaskefj and it will be a random "solo." Props to you for trying to memorize my creation...
