If you’ve used Google at all today, you probably saw the Google Doodle tribute to Les Paul. Chances are many hours of productivity at offices around the world have been lost to Google’s interactive toy that puts 10 guitar notes at your fingertips.
Mashable eaders have filled the comments of our earlier post on the Doodle with their own recordings — an option only available in the U.S. version. Here are some of our favorite tunes
:- 1. Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” is at the top of the heap, and not just because it’s Gaga. It’s a great rendition of a complicated song done by Leila Dossetto-Becker.
- 2. The Beatles’s “Hey Jude,” performed by Rosales.
- 3. Wanderchick brings us “Ode to Joy” in two parts: one and two. Serious skills!
- 4. Proving our point about this being a procrastination engine, Leslitab and her coworker figured out how to play “Oh Suzanna!”
- 5. Refilljuarez was nostalgic for the last decade, so the band played “Adam’s Song” by Blink 182.
- 6. Cole Johnson tackles Sigur Ros’s “Takk Hoppipolla.”
- 7. The opening to The Beatles’s “Here Comes the Sun,” played beautifully by myurow.
Creating a Google Doodle song isn’t as hard as it looks. Searches on the Twitter hashtag #GoogleDoodle brought back plenty of people typing out the keyboard arrangements for popular songs. Gretchen Vaughn even made a compilation of songs and tutorials using Storify.
Since it looked so easy, I even tried my hand at playing “The Imperial March” from Star Wars.
