Even though Les Paul passed away in 2009, he will always be remembered as the father of the solid body electric guitar as well as multi-track recording. Plus, he was one heck of a guitar picker! For what would have been his 96th birthday, Google has unveiled probably their coolest interactive Doodle yet - the electric guitar doodle. After the fact you can probably see a picture of it at Google.com/logos, but you'd better hurry up and and try it out now!
You can just aimlessly pluck strings with your mouse pointer, or you can use your keyboard for a bit more precision Here's a link to me slowly tapping out "Happy Birthday" - http://goo.gl/doodle/hfQh. Not sure how long the link will last, but it's pretty nifty while it does! (My version of Happy Birthday is played "5565 887 5565 998 5508 8876 440898")
