It's amazing how far the logos have evolved. I used to work with the original doodler of the logos and I always thought his work was great, but the dedicated doodle team lead by Ryan and under Marissa's wing have made them 10x better. Designing logos that engage the audience is brilliant. Kudos to the new doodle team.

So google doesn't tell me...but who or what is Les Paul?

? Clicking on the logo takes you to the results page for the query "Les Paul", the 1st result is Wikipedia, which, if you read it, should answer your question..

yeah, I didn't expect to get downvoted for that. I wasn't trolling. I was puzzled by this too, since when I searched for les paul,

I only got two results: one for the logo, and one for the list of logos.

You can also play all 10 notes at once: hold down keys 1-0. You'll notice a nice 'bug' if you hold.

Here's a common progression. Hold down all the notes then move to the next chord in whatever rhythm you like:

qeti ryi tuo qeti

If you start off using your left hand for 'qe' and your right for 'ti' you'll find you can move through the progression easily.

A messy example (I just started playing around): http://goo.gl/doodle/e4PVd

(Oh, and turn off quickfind in Firefox or use another browser, annoying as hell).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This got me curious: what does pi sound like? And the answer is that it's actually surprisingly tonal. The opening "31415" firmly establishes the key, and thereafter there's sonorous intervals to keep everything fairly well-behaved; the few out-of-place notes can be dealt with by an appropriate sort of rhythym. If you're gonna try it I recommend it as far as: 31415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751 So that…

Really cool concept. :) Doesn't every sequence of numbers sound fairly tonal on the Les Paul logo though, since it's restricted to diatonic pitches?

Exactly.

And if you assigned the numbers to the blues scale degrees, it would sound very bluesy. ;-)

Then you did it wrong--Les Paul has 66,900,000 results for a Google search. He's world famous.
