Gene William Paul (born August 20, 1944) is an audio recording/mixing/mastering engineer, producer, and musician. He was an engineer at Atlantic Recording Studios during their famed 1960s-80s period and is currently the chief mastering engineer at G&J Audio, a mixing, and mastering studio for major and independent labels focused on reissues and new recordings. He has worked on thousands of projects and has engineered 9 Grammy Award-winning albums with 31 total nominations in 15 different categories. Studio at GANDJAUDIO.com. Over the years I became convinced that there needed to be one place in which the history of his extraordinary life could be told. “Les Paul Remembered” is that place.

Hiiii I’m a Les Paul and Mary Ford fannn
Les paul guitars are the best. Even played with no added peddles sounds great.
He changed the world.
Ticks all the boxes
Mary Ford was no slouch as a guitarist, a musician and a songwriter and a singer… Young girls of today don’t even compare or at least a very few of them .. How many of today’s females can play the guitar wright songs, sing, and produce their own albums? ? The answer is not many. You can go ahead and name them in the comments if you would like to there’s only a couple.
I just turned 60 years old, but I have been following Les Paul since I was 15 when I started playing the guitar I had an uncle that suggested that I listen to how high the moon… I have been a major fan ever since and as much as I love, heavy metal and hard rock Les Paul is definitely a pioneer of shred of tongue and technique and it’s not even up for argument
Les Paul was the original tone chaser. He was never satisfied with the sound of God and he kept looking for a better one which is a great thing to do because you’re hardly ever gonna find it but what people come up with while they’re looking for it, treat the rest of the audience to a real treat, because we get to listen to their experiments and that is the art of music
Fantastic stuff! I'm just old enough to have an awareness of Les and Mary as performers and only a smidgeon about Les's developmental insights. It strikes me how serendipitous it is for two such creative people find each other and their niches.
Les with all his electronic always played feeling music . Novelty never overshadowed art.
Please post videos of Brent Mason and the other Nashville guys playing with Les at The Iridium.
25 years ago i was playing guitar into a radio shack desk dictation mini microphone plugged into my windows desktop that had "wave recorder" - a simple one track recording program to record simple 60 sec clips. You could add on 60 second at a time to make it longer , like if you needed to do a song.( id add on enough erxtra 60 sec chunks til i thought id have enough for my whole song to fit then trim off 2 secs at a time.. then in the drop down menu there was a feature that let you blend to files together after they were recorded....BUT for music it wouldn't be in time unless you started recording with the same exact dead air before the music starts...by trial and error i would add on dead air 2 seconds at a time to which ever track suited it best to get the two to be lined up right. i would record myself listening to the original first rhythm guitar and play a lead guitar part over it and save the file as "Solo for song XYZ" ...then id open the file "Rhythm track for song XYZ" and go to the drop menu and select blend with existing file and pick "Solo for XYZ " and they'd be imposed over each other but not lined up in time like a multitrack music recorder would do....id have to cut and add time to the beginning until trial and error finally resulted with the two files playing in time. I was 16 it was 2002 didn't know I could have just used a Free multi track recording program like "Audacity" hahaha. I feel like this process is similar to how Les Paul invented multi track...he used what he had - along with mental powers manipulating things tat were not meant to be used in that way, in order to achieve something new.
Rest in peace, Les and Mary.
That house at Deerhaven. Dad and I used to walk past it going fishing on the Ramapo in the 70's. Dad tried to tell me how great they were, but this teenager at the time😇 didn't understand until I got older. I guess it's never too late to learn. Thanks Les & Mary.
Does anyone out there know if Mary Fords white les paul Guitar had a thicker body than the other models, it looks like the body is exluding the carved top part is 2 1/4 " thick in the video ?
Keef's autobio brought me here
Hi Gene. Your father is my guitar hero. Love the videos. Thanks and hope you're well.
Hi λEpic, I'm glad you enjoyed Dad's videos. I, too, can't get enough. He has a way of telling a story that puts you there, right with him. If you like this site, I have a tribute website with hours of stories, videos, and memories of this extraordinary man. Thank you for your thoughts... Gene www.lespaulremembered.com/
Hello Gene, just a great story that people should know. Of course I know the story and that was the reason I idolized Les so much. That sound meant everything to me, and little did I know I would eventually work with your father for 45 years.
Hey Tom, you have the best les paul pickups and you should really get your product into the hands of some TH-camrs that will put your stuff in the spotlight !
Just look at the chemistry between them. How often do you see any male female relationship approaching such love and adoration today?
What I want to say is...why hasn't Les and Mary's life been made into a movie? This screams for a film.
Thanks, Gene! I first heard Les & Mary on the 1956 Capitol Records "Merry Christmas To You," a perennial holiday favorite at our house. Then it was on to their many fantastic records, the Jazz At The Philharmonic concert album (with Les trading riffs with Nat King Cole) and all collaborations of Les and Chet Atkins. . . all outstanding!
I really enjoyed this video. I was always so fascinated about multitrack recording and just to watch it in its infancy just intrigues me even more. I have a few multi track recorders now but this is just great to know first hand the process that it happened. I knew Les Paul was the innovator but didn't know all of the details making it happen. Thank you for posting this and may Les Paul rest in peace.
Hi Paul, Glad you enjoyed the video. For more on the multi-track machine, try this link www.lespaulremembered.com/the-multi-track-recorder-.html Great to hear from you...Gene
@@genepaul5651 Thank you very much. I will bet that even though it's very old technology, I'm going to bet that there is nothing that sounds like it. I have a 16 track that uses half inch tape and it sounds very good, but there's so much more headroom in those old decks and that always fascinated me. Your dad was definitely legendary as a guitarist and a pioneer of multitracking. The Gibson Les Paul has its own unique tone to it, too. I've seen clips of Mary Ford and her guitar skills too and that also just totally blew me away. The other thing that I really enjoyed was watching him welcome and play along with some of the great guitarists of my time. Thank you for reaching out and have a great evening.
Yes they could sync lock a bunch of these big 35mm “dubbers” used in the movie industry that would record on sprocketed 35mm “mag stripe” and then they used stereo multitrack heads with 35mm magnetic “fullcoat” right up to the 1970s.
Thank you

Mon guitariste préféré
He mentioned the Germans recording machines... it's obvious he could really improvise an invention...with out he real ability to really play above average it would not mean as much... he was a true Genius.... Thanks Les... Red...
Johnny Smith , Rinehart, and Kes Paul all together ❤ ♥ 🙌 😍
Modern music owes everything to your Dad. His name is all over my house :) Thanks for sharing your stories Gene.
Les didnt just reinvent the guitar for the modern world? He, and Mary, reinvented how music would sound, and be produced from their time, till today. Our god-parents of modern music.
👊🇧🇷
Thankfully we have computers now so some producer can mix all of our shitty tracks.
wow!
Les was a genius, that's for sure. Mary was an absolute marvel as well, what a voice!
I had the delight of seeing less and a drummer demonstrate the Pulverizer at the Smithsonian's Baird auditorium back in 77 or so. The experience was simply mind blowing. I wonder if you were the drummer that night. Whoever it was did one of the greatest solo's I have ever seen.... Les was hilarious throughout... especially when cuing the drum solo... The guy just exploded.
Do you have video or audio of Les and Mary on Jack Paar. I have a 30 minute segment. But there must be more. Just subscribed and liked!! 😀😀
Hi Joe, I have been looking for that footage, if it's at all possible can you get it to me? On my tribute website LesPaulRemembered.com there is a contact page www.lespaulremembered.com/your-input.html. I was at that very show.... Thank you so much Gene
In digital video, we called it Pre-Read.
thank you for this
Hello, Gene! Thanks for this!! I had the pleasure of performing with Les on two occasions, (one being his 93rd Birthday), at the Iridium in NYC. I'll treasure those moments forever. My brother and I donated a disc lathe to the LPHOS exhibit in Discovery World Museum in Milwaukee. My thanks to Sue Baker for helping facilitate its transfer to the museum for Les. I attended one of Les' final concerts at the Pabst Theater, and after his death at the Mahwah Museum, Les' and his mother's gravesite, and made friends with a local bar owner who knew his parents and where the bar was. Having my made residence in Ft. Worth, Texas, visiting both Milwaukee and NYC for the first time, was so memorable and inspiring! I hope to meet you someday, Gene. I now reside and perform in Palm Springs, CA and surrounding areas. Peace.
Hi Dave, I think our paths might have crossed at Atlantic Records way back. Thank you for your note. Dad is still front and center in my thoughts, putting videos together and this enormous project of the tribute website LesPaulRemembered.com that I hope you get a chance to visit and let me know your thoughts. I'm still amazed at how full my Dad's life was. Best Gene

Thank you Gene!
Thank you!
What a Blessing to hear , my inventory...'Lovers Luau' 🤙🙏
amazing , true & funny song! I’m a hard rock guitarist and just discovered Lou from watching him with Zakk Wylde playing voodoo Child. I noticed him on the side playing, not moving an eyeball in aw of Zakk. And here I landed. I’m glad I discovered and researched him. very distinguished gentleman/ guitarist.
There’s this Brad Paisley thing to his playful style and timing that fits perfect in certain songs. I’m shocked ‘How High the Moon’ isn’t a huge modern standard. Those harmonies are shockingly gorgeous and seemed easy for her.
Totally awesome video. I do not have words to express my enormous admiration and respect for that towering genius of music and recording technology named Les Paul. There is nobody like him and there never will be again.
