Play Guitar on Google Home Page

A guitar-themed interactive Google Doodle on Thursday paid tribute to American inventor and "guitar hero" Lester William Polsfuss (Les Paul).



Visitors to Google's homepage were greeted with a set of guitar strings of varying lengths that spelled "Google" to mark what would have been Paul's 96th birthday.

Hovering the mouse or pointing device over the strings would produce a specific note. You can also bang out chords and tunes by clicking on the "keyboard" icon on the lower right.

Google's tribute doodle to Les Paul lets you strum the strings with your mouse, or use your keyboard to bang out chords.

Clicking on the doodle will take the visitor to a set of Google search results for "Les Paul."
