Les paul and Mary Ford in the early fifties. Watch closely how she easily keeps up with him and when she's about to leave him in the dust (when he breaks a string) he has to stop her.
Note also the prototype Gibsons the two of them are playing.

I don't know if I'd call Mary Ford a shredder, but I enjoyed watching the legendary Les Paul doing a Les Paul style jam session with his wife. He's over 90 years old and he still uses loop machines, and he still holds guitar only jam sessions with numerous aspiring guitarists. I was fortunate enough to meet someone who sat in on one of these sessions. He told me about what a great time he had and about some of the comments Les made about his playing.Last edited by excon; 10-17-2007, 02:23 AM.Comment
