drbombay: I was not implying regarding Lennon-just pointing out Les Paul was father of electric guitar, no big deal for I didn't know about Dylan & Lennon-ty for that, interesting....

Leo Fender designed and made the first electric guitar and amplifier, Fender guitars are still the most used to this day.

Les Paul developed a different type of pickup for Gibson and Gibson called that model of guitar after him. The Gison Les Paul.

Les Paul's were made famous by Clapton, Santana, Steppenwolf and
Most of the lesser known american rock bands.

The Fender Stratocaster was made famous by Hendrix, The who,
and most of the blues players.

Both makes are still very very poplular today.

Pre- 1965 Fenders are worth a fortune and are collectors items.

Pete Townhend of the Who still regrets having broken up about 100 of them ! crying crying

Eddie Van Halen changed rock guitar forever in the early 80's

His style frightens most guitar players.





Hendrix would have been proud of him !

drbombay: Yes you are correct to some extent for you have soft rock, hard rock etc...BUT people still encompass as rock & roll as compared to jazz, disco, R & B etc.-comprende'


Around here we call my music /'classic rock," meaning Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, etc. (Does that mean I'm old?)

I really dig old Dylan, but I consider him folk, along with Joni Mitchell, Baez, etc.

I struggled with this one, but pick Floyd over Zeppelin.
