Book Review Guitar Genius: How Les Paul Engineered the Solid Body Guitar and Rocked the World


GUITAR GENIUS: How Les Paul Engineered the Solid Body Electric Guitar and Rocked the World


Kim Tomsic writes a delightful story about childhood learning, play, invention, perseverance and success. Music strums through the pages along with disassembly and reassembly of household electronics such as telephones and radios. Illustrator Brett Helquist evokes the early days of jazz and musicians such as Nat Cole with whom Les Paul performed. Guitar Hero is a fun read for all ages and Ms. Tomsic includes notes and a bibliography which will help those parents educating at home.
Parents may wish to have a separate box of older electronics for their children to take apart and reassemble.
