If you've used Google at all on Thursday, you probably saw the Google Doodle tribute to guitarist 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 readers 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 co-worker 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 "Festivals."

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

Since it looked so easy, I even tried my hand at playing "The Imperial March" from Star Wars.

Thanks to all those who submitted their Google Doodle songs!
