Today being the anniversary of the late Les Paul's birth Google have put up one of their "special" pages.
Those that use Google as a "Home Page" have prolly seen it but it is well worth a look.
You can actually pick out a tune on the guitar they have engineered! Brilliant!!!

SWWLTBO can play "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" on it as well as "Ode to Joy" and I can play "The Last Post" ("Taps" to the Yanks)
Just run your cursor over the strings.
