7. Les Paul's 96th Birthday: June 9th 2011
Les Paul is mostly known for his invention of the solid body electric guitar that bears his name. The Les Paul brand of guitars is perhaps the best known guitar brand in the world and for good reason, the build quality and sound is second to none. So when Les Pauls 96th birthday rolled around the team of doodlers couldnt just let it slip by. The doodle sees the iconic goggle logo transformed into an electric guitar, playable by moving your cursor over each of the strings. Despite only having a handful of notes to play the doodle resulted in 5.1 years worth of music being created in just two days! A quick search on YouTube will show some of the tracks that were created, ranging from Metallica covers to traditional Mexican music. Obviously all the creators of these videos clearly have some musical talent so for the average Joe creating anything that sounds remotely good will be a challenge, but a fun and welcome one. Impressively the doodle still retains the google letters, albeit in a very abstract way that isnt immediately obvious. Although the simple logo is a very memorable one. Take a look at the doodle and share your creations in the comments.
