Correct Pronunciation Thread

[MichaelAngelo]

How about les paul??? is it pronounced as "less paul" or "ler paul" ???? I clearly remembered my teacher saying that "les miserables" is pronounced as ' ler mi-ze-rab' .... so is it "less paul" or "ler paul"??????

haha, i last time also action baedae, go n say "Leh paul", until i read the book on the history of the electric guitar, i realised that Mr. Les Paul was in fact LESLIE PAUL! So Les Paul is just the short form name lor...lol...

Yngwie Malmsteen's Yng is "Ying" and Wie is "Vee" not "Vay" or sometimes itz "vee-uh" since the name's origin is germanic-scandinavian depends which u like bt vee or vay it actually sounds the same not like anyone's giving u an A for it n making u get a certificate

i would think Ibanez should be pronounced as ee-ba-nez. They started out as a Japanese company, assuming in jap pronounciation..."I" would be ee?

ex-o-dus (pronounced like bus)
or
exod-us

Damnit its really ahrd to type out. the 2nd one is pronounced faster then the 1st one.
