from Wiki:
"In January 1948, Paul was injured in a near-fatal automobile accident in Oklahoma, which shattered his right arm and elbow. Doctors told Paul that there was no way for them to rebuild his elbow in a way that would let him regain movement, and that his arm would remain permanently in whatever position they placed it in. Paul then instructed the surgeons to set his arm at an angle that would allow him to cradle and pick the guitar. It took him a year and a half to recover."
I think that pretty much sums it up.

RIP. What an awesome legacy.
No problem.
Its a shame that this thread is getting hardly any posts, such a legend of a man of whom we owe so much.
without him who knows what kind of music we would all be listening to and/or what kind of artists we would all be gaining inspiration from.
He is partly responsible for so much it is actualy crazy! Rip once again

Multi track recording. His biggest legacy i.m.o.
He was some guitarist too.
A good age by the time he went, thankfully.
