Publishing and Musicnotes.com have partnered to offer music lovers
everywhere a free Guitar Guru Session and guitar tab download of "Over
the Rainbow" to honor Les Paul's memory.
Now through midnight on September 2, 2009, visitors to Musicnotes.com
can download a free, interactive Guitar Lesson (including matching

arranged by Grammy award-winning artist Aaron Stang, from Alfred Music

Atkins and featured on the album, 'Masters of the Guitar - Together.'
"Les Paul closed every show at the legendary jazz club Iridium in New

meaning for musicians everywhere."
