Play guitar on the Google logo

...to commemorate the 96th anniv of Les Paul's birth. Looks like you can record it too.

Hey CaDaveCa compose us a TPU theme song!

Not enough notes there. Enabling the keyboard makes playing with it a bit more entertaining.

Working on yet another review...no time to play!

cadaveca · Jun 9, 2011

Check flash updates too.

So you can go, as an exmaple.. http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&tune=EqEEE and build your own keystring vs trying to strum

I don't need to either. But it's called "fun for a minute". Unfortunately, due to my shoulder injury, I cannot play my current daily player:

LuLz. Which one? :laugh:

Buckethead, Standard, DarkFire, or Robot? :laugh:

Thinking about picking up a traditional, or maybe a blackwater this month, actually. I'll never own enough gibsons...could toss up more pics.

Mr McC · Jun 9, 2011

Guitar, you say?

I dunno. This is more entertaining(kinda freaky, too! Make sure to watch to the end!):

Game is "RockSmith", BTW.

1Kurgan1 · Jun 10, 2011

I can't play guitar, but that is mildly entertaining, and cool that you can record it also.

cadaveca · Jun 10, 2011

Meh. Cool tribute to Les Paul, IMHO. Of course, for those that don't know, all those guitars I posted are Les Pauls.

Clearly you did a little otherwise you wouldnt of bothered responding to me

Wrigleyvillain · Jun 10, 2011

Welllllll, most of you guitar players are show-offs (hell, many start in order to be able to show off) as evidenced by your comment and Dave's pics. This thread is about the Google logo it isn't the TPU Guitar clubhouse, yo.

cadaveca · Jun 10, 2011

Actually, i posted pics of my Les Paul guitars, which is why Google made the logo in the first place, not to show off. That was me showing I appreciate, and understand the logo, maybe a bit more than others.

They are hunks of wood, after all. Beautiful ones, I think, but that's my own opinion. And those hunks of wood are all part of the legacy that Les Paul left behind, which the logo was a tribute to, on Les Pauls birthday.

And yeah, I like to show what I got. But you know, I don't play guitar to get attention...it's how I relax. Of course, I can't paly with my shoulder screwed up, but hopefully I'll be getting surgery soon.

Perspective is everything. Some people probably thought I changed my avatar to my wife's pic to show her off...but really, I put it up so I could see her more often.

Don't spin it the wrong way, man.

See my sig...

:laugh:

Wile E · Jun 10, 2011

I still want a first run Les Paul Gothic.

I have always preferred the stripped down looks of the studio models.

I wonder if they'll do a tribute for the day he passed away as well?

Those are nice ones, for sure. I don't really like rosewood fretboards though; and ebony board would have been much more suited to the gothic.

It's been near a year since he passed, so this was a very nice surprise. Usually you find tributes on the anniversary of a person's passing, so this was definitely a nice surprise to find today when I turned my PC on.

Does rockstar offer a "Les Paul" edition yet, or did MJ tie down the market with his postmortem game? Maybe Paper Jams can pick this up!
