There is now
a permanent link to the Google Les Paul guitar logo, which first appeared on what would have been Les Paul's 96th birthday, 9 June 2011.
You can play music on it and it has a Record button as well. Music can be played by typing letters on the keyboard. The top row of letters has been used here, though the row of numbers above it might be better - but some compact keyboards might not have those numbers so easily accessible.

It seems to be polyphonic for up to three notes together, probably no more because of the technical limitations of what a computer keyboard can signal. Keyboards never ask for more than three keys to be clicked simultaneously, e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Del. Still a lot can be done with the strings and notes available on the Les Paul logo. Here is a way to strum "She's an Artist" by Bob Dylan. It's a "three chord trick" plus a little seventh to spice it up a bit.
The home chord, which I think is E major, will be made by tapping/vamping Q and E together, blam, blam, blam, blam quite quickly. You'll see what rhythm you need, about 8 beats per line but it may be seven with the eighth on the next line, perhaps.
Q+E
She's got everything she needs,
R+Y
she's an artist, she don't look
Q+E
back
Q+E+I
R+Y
She's got everything she needs, she's an artist, she don't look
Q+E
back.
W+T
She can take the dark out of the nighttime or make the daytime
Q+E
black.

Here is a Moore's melody for you: "Believe me if all those endearing young charms" by Thomas Moore:
ewqwqq
Believe me if all those
etryui
Endearing young charms
uytrewqwe
Which I gaze on so fondly today
ewqwqq
Were to change by tomorrow
etryui
And fleet in my arms,
uyti ewqwq
Like fairy gifts fading away
tretii
Though would'st still be adored
tyyrii
As this moment thou art
uytrewqwe
Let thy loveliness fade as it will
ewqwqq
And around the dear ruin
etryui
Each wish of my heart
uytie
Would entwine itself
wqwq
Verdantly still.
