Do you have an experience of inspiring a person to pursue his ambition in life? Steve Miller admits that his meeting with popular guitarist Les Paul inspires him to continue his career in guitar playing. Read this news and learn how Paul influenced the life of Miller by using Gibson Les Paulguitars.

Blues musician Steve Mille has revealed how meeting Les Paul at a young age inspired him towards of lifetime of playing the electric guitar.

Paul was a friend of his fathers and gave the young Miller plenty of
advice on the best way to play the instrument, the blues star told the Gibson Lifestyle blog.

He added that Paul was a “phenomenal guitarist” with an extremely devoted fanbase.

“All the best musicians from 150 miles around always came to his gigs,” said Miller. “There was always a jam session.”

He added that this was the case before Paul became famous for inventing the solid-body electric guitar and a multi-track machine.

 Do you believe that the Smash electric guitar will be destructed? If you are doubting, allow the news below to inform you about the fact that the said guitar is made to be destroyed.

Recession got you down? Feel like destroying something? How about
rocking out with a few power chords, and then destroying something?
Well, the Smash guitar is for you.

The Smash is a real electric guitar designed to break apart into bits
and pieces so you can impress audiences with your wanton
destructiveness. Maker K’s Japan
says Smash has a “Special Empty Body” so it’s light and easy to hurl
and creates “a beautiful smashing sound” on impact. Hear the beauty right here.

Styled somewhat like a Telecaster,
the Smash has a maple neck, a rosewood fretboard, dual pickups, and
electronics concentrated in the center of the body to minimize
dangerous trajectories.

“The guitar will smash with less power
than using a normal guitar,” the manufacturer declares, bizarrely
adding, “It is not created for the purpose of smashing.”

But since it’s priced at only $55, Smash is clearly good for only one thing–bringing out your inner Hendrix.

Ex-Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman,
a TV personality in Japan, has hailed the Smash as a “genius” idea.
He’s not alone–the disposable axe has sold out on Amazon Japan.

For an extra fee, K’s will reassemble smashed Smashes and send them back to their owners. For more destruction.

Thrashers can also donate
pieces of the Smash to K’s and it will make new guitars out of them and
give them to orphanages in the Philippines. Thus fostering a generation
of guitar-smashing Filipinos. Yeah!
