Les Paul: More of the best Google guitar recordings

The Les Paul tribute so excited armchair guitarists yesterday that Google brought back its doodle for a second day. Here are more great performances, this time recorded or recommended by you, the readers.

The Les Paul Google guitar has returned for an encore. The search engine said this morning that the new logo, in honor of the musical inventor, will remain online through Friday.

Also back by popular demand, we have a second installment of the best doodle recordings. The Monitor's post yesterday generated a lot of great links and suggestions. So, brush up on your Les Paul history, check out our original collection, and sit back for an extra session of mouse-and-keyboard musicians.
