Jeff Beck never got the glory of a Clapton, Hendrix, or Page, but I'll take the totality of his career over any of those dudes. Beck was such an innovator and he never feared changing his style or if it alienated his audience. Beck was like, "Come along if you want, but even if you don't, I'm gonna do it anyway." Rest in Power, J.B.
Completely agree with that statement across-the-board. He was completely under himself and didn’t give a shit if you loved him or not, he was just a God. I’m sick to my stomach with sadness today…
Jeff was my #1 Guitar Hero of all time followed by Robin Trower at #2. I'd be hard pressed to name who the #3 slot would go to. Too many greats to choose from.
Glory is overrated but Jimi isn't. Lumping Jimi in with Clapton and Page is just a silly tradition, not based on anything real. Beck was infinitely greater than Clapton or Page of course, but Jimi was the godfather of modern electric guitar. There was never any greater contrast between one artist's body of work and everybody else's that came before then there was with Jimi. Jimi opened up more directions for modern guitar for all of us than anyone. Beck was awesome and unique, and it sucks that he died, but it's Jimi that revolutionized the color pallet of all electric guitar music from then on; Jeff would have told you that if you told him he was better than Jimi.
I got to meet Jeff Beck in 2015, my girlfriend at the time had a connection to Fender and got us backstage passes. We were much younger than the rest of the people backstage (we were mid-20s at the time) and Jeff came and sat down and had a beer with us, asking us questions the entire time and telling stories about his first Fender. Such a surreal experience, RIP Jeff
He was one of a kind. The way he played was the way he was . Rebellious, fearless,and free. Always pushing the boundaries . Never playing it safe. He always seemed so full of life. I never even considered he would one day be gone.
Just realize how remarkable it is that we consider that a 78 year old “rock” guitarist dies and we say that he has left the arena too soon. Think about that. How often does that happen? Another first for Jeff. It’s heartbreaking that it will also be his last. R. I. P. Jeff Beck and thank you.
@@andrean8700 me too, I have both albums but regrettably didn’t follow Beck’s developing styles thereafter… until I retired and went searching. I’m blessed that I went to see him live in June. Phenomenal… I could have joined the whole tour it was so amazing. Nothing replaces seeing him live. So glad we have footage of live performances and his studio recordings too. My sadness is huge at losing such a man, such a musician RIP Jeff Beck ❤🎶🙏
Of the 3 guitarists from the Yardbirds, probably the least known, but technically the most gifted. Pretty much sums up the entire music industry. RIP Jeff Beck.
I just saw him at Orpheum theater in Los Angeles two months ago. A living legend. He sounded and looked great. Hard to believe this man is gone. RIP Mr. Beck. 💞🎸
Beck was the reason the Yardbirds were so good. If he hadn't joined after Clapton left, they probably would have just faded away and no one today would have ever heard of them.
I'm near tears over this loss too, Pete. Jeff Beck always seemed so youthful to me, partially because he never stopped artistically growing and exploring, even into his last albums. He never went on artistic autopilot, and for that and other reasons, he was, and is, truly a model for all musicians. It's so hard for me to fathom that he has died, but I'm grateful that we had him as long as we did, and that he gave us so much!
This loss hit me the hardest. I’ve been a fan for fifty years. He toured to the very end. His passion for music never diminished. He will never be replaced. RIP Jeff
Pete I just saw him in October and he looked great and played even better. Truly sad and frankly I'm a little choked up over this. True Legend!!! RIP Jeff you will definitely be missed.
Jeff has been one of my favourite guitarists for over 50 years - Ritchie Blackmore once declared him to be his favourite guitarist. Saw him this summer - a true legend.
A very sad day. Jeff Beck was a giant among guitarists. One of my favourite guitarists of all time.....I discovered him through the genius of his Wired album. I was hooked from that day onward. RIP Jeff Beck.
RIP!! A true legend. His music contribution to the world is unreal. I still remeber hearing his music when I was a teenager and just blown away by him. He will be sorely missed.
first time i saw jeff beck live it was in 1972. i was 18 years old. could not believe the sounds that he was getting his guitar to make! i have never forgotten that night and how great he played. now that i am 69 years old this one really hurts. in honor of his greatness am going to play his album ''truth'' now. like you said pete life goes on, but this really sucks. rip jeff you will be missed , but never forgotten.
This was a big one today. Jeff was a giant in the guitar world. He was an absolute master of his instrument. A huge loss and a true legend. RIP Jeff Beck.
I was a very late comer to Jeff Beck and his playing. I thought he was more of a Jazz /Fusion guitarist. Then I listened to his heavier stuff and was blown away. No one played like this guy. Another true virtuoso has left us. RIP Jeff Beck.
There was no one else like him. I was fortunate to see him play live, and no one can touch his tone or technique. Just magical. Pete hit the nail on the head by saying that Jeff played the vocal lines. He really sang through his instrument. A great, great loss.
I'm shocked. Ironically I was listening to some of his recent performances just last night, and actually read his biography. A true music icon, innovator, and mentor. Beloved by his legions of fans, like myself. Master of the Strat. You'll be dearly missed. Rest in peace Jeff.
strangely,i too was listening to a lot of jeff last night,and watching interviews with him,not knowing his condition,had no idea i would wake up today,to hear of his passing.weird,as last night jeff session has taken on a more mystical vibe,the world has lost a true maestro,still sinking in
@@elbib2446 It really is strange. I'm still processing it. Could have been listening to any number of other musicians at the time. A "mystical vibe", good way to put it.
No one could ever compare to him. What a great loss. So pissed that I never got to see him play. Next tour I thought, maybe this summer for sure, I was gonna see him where ever I could. Most viewers of this channel have probably seen the Ronnie Scott's show. If not, mandatory viewing. RIP Maestro.
I'm floored over his passing. Been listening to him for 50+ years. When blow by blow came out I remember thinking how did he do that? Transition from rock to jazz rock and win a Grammy on his first try. I knew then he was a living legend. The sound and guitar was nothing like I have ever heard before. I couldn't stop playing it over and over. Then after that he just kept getting better. RIP JB.
I'm a 75-yr-old Canadian who'd appreciated his artistry since his Yardbirds days. Rarely do my eyes cry for a celebrity, but for Jeff, couldn't help it. God knows how I'll react to so many others of Jeff's era, like Jagger and McCartney. Outliving these special people comes at a painful price, doesn't it? Gosh, weren't we so fortunate to've aged with him.
Well this does not exist I am afraid...we become fertilizers feeding nature to grow, which is admirable....Also how do you know they are all in Heaven; If they were not religious or hadn't repented in front of God then they are in Hell (If you are religious of course and it exists)
Turn on TH-cam and couldn’t believe it was true but knew it must be so to see Pete has posted a tribute. Pete, no doubt this one hits you hard personally as your affection for Jed Beck as an artist shone through whenever you brought up his name. And though some go by just one name, it was and wil always be JeffBeck as if that is one word. An artist who will be missed terribly and remembered fondly. R.I.P. Jeff Beck. And thank you, Pete, for sharing the news and your personal affection for the great Jeff Beck.
I only just heard about Jeff's passing so the first thing I did was to come here as I knew that Pete would put together a fitting tribute video R.I.P. Jeff Beck - one of the true greats that maybe never got the household-nane recognition that the likes of Clapton, Hendrix and Page enjoyed :(
I'm saddened by this news Pete. What a sudden shock. This makes me immediately want to try my best to see as many of the legends out there that are still putting on shows for us guys and gals all the more. Jeff a genuinely unique talent and one of the real musical greats of our times. RIP 🎸 thanks for the news Pete, and thanks for your channel always. God speed to all.
He left his unique musical mark on the electric guitar and touched the ears of millions. His recordings continue to resonate. What more can we ask? RIP Jeff Beck.
Great tribute to Jeff Beck Pete, thanks. What a loss he was a great guitarist and will be sadly missed. definitely a true legend and one of my favourite guitarists ever
Hard to believe he's gone. He has been the single biggest influence on me as a guitarist since I was a kid, and he's always been the rabbit that everyone else had to chase. I've been lucky to see him many times in concert, and each time I'd feel the whole gamut of emotions, from awe, laughter,and a lump in the throat from the sheer majesty of his absolute commitment to every note. A titan who can never be replaced.
I saw Jeff Beck live at Jones Beach I think in 1999. People in the audience had binoculars with them and were watching his hands as he played. I had never seen anything like that. He was extraordinary. RIP.
Mel. I was at the same show. The single best performance of his I ever saw, and I saw him with 7 different line ups. Jennifer Batten really pushed him to new heights at the time. RIP Jeff Beck
@@perfclubworks7037 7 times? I'm envious! -- I saw a ton of concerts at Jones Beach living nearby and I have to say many of them from prior to 2000 are fading from memory.....But I remember that Jeff Beck show like it was yesterday.
Jeff Beck was truly a one-of-a-kind guitarist. He will be sorely missed and that Beck sound will remain his. He left a great body of work with many fantastic albums and live performances. The Strat has lost one of its masters. RIP
Jimi,King Edward,The Professor now Jeff Beck, The list keeps growing as we get older.. Thank you Jeff for the awesome music I was shown back in the 70’s.RIP..
This is very shocking news !! I didn’t expect this. I will remember him and listen to my favorite CDS/records of Jeff Beck~ Truth, Guitar Shop, Wired, Blow By Blow and even his most recent with , Johnny Depp !! Rest and rock in peace, Jeff Beck !!🎸
So fortunate to see Jeff Beck six times. Rough and Ready Tour, Highlight ARMS concert reunited with Jimmy page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck playing together, 1984 Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck did a few brief shows at the beginning of Rod Stewart tour saw one of those. So lucky and then I saw Jeff in the mid-2000s
Huge loss. Saw Jeff Beck in 99 in Toronto and it's one of the best shows I've been to. I had 2nd row seats which to this day are the best seats I've ever had at a show. RIP Jeff Beck. A legend who'll live forever through his music.
RIP Mr. Beck. I saw him just two months ago. Still an amazing live performer. I feel lucky to have seen him in concert three times over the years. A tragic loss to the world. Rest in peace.
This one is extremely hard for me. Grew up with Mr. Beck and idolized him when most at my young age just didn’t get it. Watching his fret and finger work hypnotized me. So so so much talent. So so so sad. 😢
I'm absolutely stunned by this news. I was raised on Jeff Beck. Even though Page and Clapton had more long lasting hits, everyone knew that Beck was the boss.
There will never be another one like him. He will be missed greatly. I regret not getting to see him perform live last year as well pete. RIP Jeff Beck
Jeff Beck for me is one of the greatest guitar players ever. Such a sad loss, so pleased that I got to see the man himself live. What an unbelievable show and a true legend, one of my dad's heros. RIP Jeff Beck and thank you for all of the fantastic music 🎸
Just in the last year I purchased a Jeff Beck collection and was mesmerised by his guitar playing, and was kicking myself that I hadn't invested in his music earlier. R.I. P
Thanks for a great tribute Pete. It took me most of my life to realise what a great guitarist he was. Jeff Beck was never really in the limelight, and was mostly forgotten by the media. He came to my attention in a documentary I watched about him. A great loss indeed.
Jeff Beck changed my life for the better. Although I’ve always loved music, it was because of him I really became enamored with and passionate about guitars. He simply could not be matched by anyone, and you could always instantly recognize his playing when appeared as a guest on so many great records other than his own. I’m so glad I got to see him live in 2018, truly electrifying experience and easily the best show I’ve ever been to. It was an absolute privilege. Jeff has put out so much fine art in the last six decades that will resonate with me forever. 🎸✨🤘🇬🇧
This hits me very hard . 1st concert I saw was The YARDBIRDS featuring J. Beck and their new 2nd guitarist Jimmy Page , 1966. I saw him many more times. Unique. A sad day for the music world. We will always have his music.
My dad introduced me to Jeff Beck way early on in my journey of musical exploration, he’s my dads favorite player. We listened to Blow By Blow so much and it’s one of my very favorite albums to this day. That record helped me begin to understand arrangement, composition, and odd-time. A masterpiece. Somewhere between 10-15 years ago, my parents and I went to a Detroit Tigers game on Fathers Day. As the National Anthem was about to begin, the PA announced that Jeff Beck would be performing the song. We couldn’t believe it and it was certainly done in complete Jeff Beck style. I never saw Jeff in concert, but I’ll always be grateful for that memory. Finally.. yesterday, I saw posts that Jeff had passed moments before playing a gig. I’ve played drums for 15 years but yesterday was my first paid ukulele gig. Finding out about Jeff’s passing in that moment gave me intense inspiration to play my fretted instrument to the best of my ability. It was a sad but poetic, full-circle moment in my musical life. Thanks, Pete, for the comprehensive breakdown of Mr. Beck’s career. Truly one of the great and innovative artists of the last 100 years. He is and will be missed.
Jeff Beck came into our class at school late in the year. We were all 13 and he was 14 years old. He immediately got respect, because he was a year older. His Mother asked the Head master to please take him for the year. He was looking for a guitar to play, and his mum wanted him to do piano as she was a trained concert pianist. One day in the Music Room he came in as we were waiting for the Music Teacher, with a load of bits of wood and wires and went straight to the back of the room and went and sat on the floor of the store cupboard. The boys he knew best asked him what he was doing, and he told them he was trying to make a guitar. I thought to myself that he would find it impossible to make a anything, let alone a guitar with that lot!!. However just before he came out, a few blues notes came from that floor. We were all astonished! He almost made some magic! After we left school for the last time, we would all look after him and his music. Cynthia Allen-McLaglen
My younger sister sent me the news. I was devastated. There were many times I would sit with my Jeff Beck signature stratocaster and play songs like, Never Alone, Where Were You., Two Rivers. My sister, who loves music was always amazed with how vocal Jeff's song were. May your tone sound great in heaven Jeff. You have some great players to jam with up there.
saw him in Quebec City few years ago. there was a rather small stage and I was front row. suddenly he appears with that cream strat and I was totally starstruck. at one point he was right in front of me and I kept thinking '' I don't believe it - this rock legend is right in front of me '' and I kept looking at him playing that guitar very upclose. what a moment it was. RIP Jeff Beck
Well said, Pete. I will always cherish the memories of seeing him live about 10 years ago at The Moore Theater in Seattle. Just phenomenal. I was just spinning Blow By Blow a couple of days ago. Every bit as good now as it ever was, maybe better. Really bummed about his passing. RIP, Jeff.
Again with such class Pete.. what a loss this is. Jeff Becks Guitarshop.. it hit me when it was released, I was young metal-drummer, the album entered my soul and I was completely hooked.. r.i.p. Jeff..
Thank you for your video in homage to the great Jeff Beck. The shock of Beck's sudden death is too much current for the wire, so to speak. So, R.I.P., Jeff Beck, and thank you for adding your special melody line to my life.
Morning Pete, agree with everything you said. Jeff was a unique one of a kind guitar player. I had the opportunity to see him a couple times and each time I was blown away. He was truly a master. Wired is easily one of my top 5 albums of all time. I can't say enough good things about it. It never gets old. He will be missed.
Beck, Blackmore, Clapton, Page, Trower, Iommi, The list goes on .... Soon all the legends will be gone and I'm very blessed I got to enjoy their music growing up. If I didn't mention your favorite guitarists, please forgive me. RIP Mr. Beck, your fans will miss you! 🎸🕊
Haven't stopped listening to him since I heard the tragic news...an icon and I was lucky enough to have worked with him twice at Parkgatestudios( proprietor) in East Sussex. Setting up the mics in the main room whilst Jeff, Pino Palladino and Stewart Copeland were jamming was a privileged moment and is etched in my memory. My favourite guitarist of all time, his improvisation taking the guitar to places you never expected with such emotive tones that tore into your soul, growling like a tiger, heavy like a tank, shocking like an AK47, delicate and sweet like a dove and crying like a baby. Never one for small talk, straight out of the car, into the studio and pick up the guitar...can't think of many musicians that can evoke such feelings. In bits this morning, writing whilst listening. A piece of my personal jigsaw has gone missing...a true great has gone and will be sorely missed.
Hi Pete - A total shock, just cant believe it and absolutely gutted. This guy was one of the best. There are few guitar players who own there own sound, and Jeff was one of those. I remember when Jimi passed, I was so upset - this feels exactly the same. RIP Jeff
Rip Jeff Beck. I was just listing to Him play that guitar so unbelievable well. I know I'm going to miss him a lot he's another of my favorite guitar players. I was listening to him around 4pm today. I've been listening to Jeff Beck since the Yardbirds. Pete you did a great Tribute to Jeff Beck. Thank you Pete. Jeff Beck had a hobby of fixing up older corvette cars. This was shown on one of my DVDS that had him on it.
@metalslather I have him on the R&R hall of fame anniversary concert they show his setting in front of a corvette. When his girlfriend came an spoke to him about seeing Hendrix. She thought it would be good for him to see Jimi Hendrix play.
It is an emotional tribute and I too will miss him. Been listening to newer release albums post 2000 online and archival performances. Course have a few records vinyl of earlier and Yardbirds of course.
Heard last night at 10.45pm. I remember hearing about Jimi’s passing on some September afternoon in ‘70. A similar numb reaction followed. Jeff was responsible for probably the greatest electric guitar playing I’ve ever come across. RIP.

Jeff was my #1 Guitar Hero of all time followed by Robin Trower at #2. I'd be hard pressed to name who the #3 slot would go to. Too many greats to choose from.
Not a big change, but he died from Bacterial Meningitis, instead of Viral. He went peacefully 💔
I think he got glory even more than those mentioned...
Glory is overrated but Jimi isn't. Lumping Jimi in with Clapton and Page is just a silly tradition, not based on anything real. Beck was infinitely greater than Clapton or Page of course, but Jimi was the godfather of modern electric guitar. There was never any greater contrast between one artist's body of work and everybody else's that came before then there was with Jimi.

Had there ever been a more one-of-a-kind guitarist? Hard to think of one. RIP to Jeff Beck, a true innovator and a rock ambassador.
I know looking how he threw out the Olive Branch to Johnny Depp of all people it was jamming with him and some shows just recently.
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist Agreed. I love the cover Beck and Depp did of Isolation in 2020. One of the more memorable tracks of a crazy time.
He was one of a kind. The way he played was the way he was . Rebellious, fearless,and free. Always pushing the boundaries . Never playing it safe. He always seemed so full of life. I never even considered he would one day be gone.
A true master. It’ll be a terrible day when Page passes. Hopefully not anytime soon.
Yeah there have been several
Shocking loss, there will never another guitarist like Jeff Beck. Rest in peace.

Which as of currently(until the future) ,that means,at this moment, of all time
@Mike Lewis I would say Beck by the slightest bit partly because he had so many years to do groundbreaking stuff. Hendrix is right there with him.
RIP JEFF! He helped pave the way for players like EVH, RR, and all the ones that are considered great from the 80’s and so on. Thank you JEFF BECK!

I've been lucky to see him many times in concert, and each time I'd feel the whole gamut of emotions, from awe, laughter,and a lump in the throat from the sheer majesty of his absolute commitment to every note. A titan who can never be replaced.
RIP his playing was so unique and masterful
Nice tribute Pete. Thank you. R.I.P. Jeff Beck.
I saw Jeff Beck live at Jones Beach I think in 1999. People in the audience had binoculars with them and were watching his hands as he played. I had never seen anything like that. He was extraordinary. RIP.
Mel. I was at the same show. The single best performance of his I ever saw, and I saw him with 7 different line ups. Jennifer Batten really pushed him to new heights at the time. RIP Jeff Beck
@@perfclubworks7037 7 times? I'm envious! -- I saw a ton of concerts at Jones Beach living nearby and I have to say many of them from prior to 2000 are fading from memory.....But I remember that Jeff Beck show like it was yesterday.
Fantastic eulogy Peter thank you
Jeff Beck was truly a one-of-a-kind guitarist. He will be sorely missed and that Beck sound will remain his. He left a great body of work with many fantastic albums and live performances. The Strat has lost one of its masters. RIP
Jimi,King Edward,The Professor now Jeff Beck,
The list keeps growing as we get older..
Thank you Jeff for the awesome music I was shown back in the 70’s.RIP..
I will be listening to my Jeff Beck collection tonight, and so will my neighbors.
This is very shocking news !! I didn’t expect this. I will remember him and listen to my favorite CDS/records of Jeff Beck~ Truth, Guitar Shop, Wired, Blow By Blow and even his most recent with , Johnny Depp !! Rest and rock in peace, Jeff Beck !!🎸
I know it's not easy to do videos like this Pete, but we appreciate it Thank you
So fortunate to see Jeff Beck six times. Rough and Ready Tour, Highlight ARMS concert reunited with Jimmy page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck playing together, 1984 Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck did a few brief shows at the beginning of Rod Stewart tour saw one of those. So lucky and then I saw Jeff in the mid-2000s
Jeff was the best. Thanks for the great, fitting tribute, Pete.
Huge loss. Saw Jeff Beck in 99 in Toronto and it's one of the best shows I've been to. I had 2nd row seats which to this day are the best seats I've ever had at a show. RIP Jeff Beck. A legend who'll live forever through his music.
A great player one of the best. RIP Jeff Beck. Many in the music business will be mourning his passing as well as fans.
RIP Mr. Beck. I saw him just two months ago. Still an amazing live performer. I feel lucky to have seen him in concert three times over the years. A tragic loss to the world. Rest in peace.
This one is extremely hard for me. Grew up with Mr. Beck and idolized him when most at my young age just didn’t get it. Watching his fret and finger work hypnotized me. So so so much talent. So so so sad. 😢
I'm absolutely stunned by this news. I was raised on Jeff Beck. Even though Page and Clapton had more long lasting hits, everyone knew that Beck was the boss.
There will never be another one like him. He will be missed greatly. I regret not getting to see him perform live last year as well pete. RIP Jeff Beck
What a sad day for us as we just lost the innovator and a true legend. I'm bummed out . RIP Jeff. Thanks for many years of great music.🤟🤟⚘⚘⚘
Jeff Beck for me is one of the greatest guitar players ever. Such a sad loss, so pleased that I got to see the man himself live. What an unbelievable show and a true legend, one of my dad's heros.
RIP Jeff Beck and thank you for all of the fantastic music 🎸
Many thanks for the words Pete, I appreciate it, peace.
It's hard to imagine our lives without these geniuses.
Blow by blow is a masterpiece
Absolutely! Greatest guitar fusion albums ever.
I don't care for jazz fusion. Blow by Blow & Wired are about the only records I will make an exception for when I'm in the mood.
One of a kind. Nobody else made love to the guitar as he played like Jeff. A tremendous loss. Words can't express.
Just in the last year I purchased a Jeff Beck collection and was mesmerised by his guitar playing, and was kicking myself that I hadn't invested in his music earlier. R.I. P
Thank you for this moving and fitting tribute to Jeff. And for holding it together.
Thanks for a great tribute Pete. It took me most of my life to realise what a great guitarist he was. Jeff Beck was never really in the limelight, and was mostly forgotten by the media. He came to my attention in a documentary I watched about him. A great loss indeed.
Jeff Beck changed my life for the better. Although I’ve always loved music, it was because of him I really became enamored with and passionate about guitars. He simply could not be matched by anyone, and you could always instantly recognize his playing when appeared as a guest on so many great records other than his own. I’m so glad I got to see him live in 2018, truly electrifying experience and easily the best show I’ve ever been to. It was an absolute privilege. Jeff has put out so much fine art in the last six decades that will resonate with me forever. 🎸✨🤘🇬🇧
A beautiful heart felt tribute to one of the greatest ever musicians. Very sad.
This hits me very hard . 1st concert I saw was The YARDBIRDS featuring J. Beck and their new 2nd guitarist Jimmy Page , 1966. I saw him many more times. Unique. A sad day for the music world. We will always have his music.
Thank you Pete for this thoughtful tribute to Jeff Beck- a game changer, a giant, an innovator, a legend. He is missed.
One of a kind. Guitar hero and one of the greatest. There’s a good reason why he was so revered and respected by all his peers. Thank you Jeff 🙏🏻
Totally unique musician. Well done, well said, Pete.
My dad introduced me to Jeff Beck way early on in my journey of musical exploration, he’s my dads favorite player. We listened to Blow By Blow so much and it’s one of my very favorite albums to this day. That record helped me begin to understand arrangement, composition, and odd-time. A masterpiece.
Somewhere between 10-15 years ago, my parents and I went to a Detroit Tigers game on Fathers Day. As the National Anthem was about to begin, the PA announced that Jeff Beck would be performing the song. We couldn’t believe it and it was certainly done in complete Jeff Beck style. I never saw Jeff in concert, but I’ll always be grateful for that memory.
Finally.. yesterday, I saw posts that Jeff had passed moments before playing a gig. I’ve played drums for 15 years but yesterday was my first paid ukulele gig. Finding out about Jeff’s passing in that moment gave me intense inspiration to play my fretted instrument to the best of my ability. It was a sad but poetic, full-circle moment in my musical life.
Thanks, Pete, for the comprehensive breakdown of Mr. Beck’s career. Truly one of the great and innovative artists of the last 100 years. He is and will be missed.
Thanks for sincere and moving tribute Pete.
Great tribute Pete. One of the best guitarist ever.🤘🤘👍
Jeff Beck came into our class at school late in the year. We were all 13 and he was 14 years old. He immediately got respect, because he was a year older. His Mother asked the Head master to please take him for the year. He was looking for a guitar to play, and his mum wanted him to do piano as she was a trained concert pianist. One day in the Music Room he came in as we were waiting for the Music Teacher, with a load of bits of wood and wires and went straight to the back of the room and went and sat on the floor of the store cupboard. The boys he knew best asked him what he was doing, and he told them he was trying to make a guitar. I thought to myself that he would find it impossible to make a anything, let alone a guitar with that lot!!. However just before he came out, a few blues notes came from that floor. We were all astonished! He almost made some magic! After we left school for the last time, we would all look after him and his music. Cynthia Allen-McLaglen
My younger sister sent me the news. I was devastated.
There were many times I would sit with my Jeff Beck signature stratocaster and play songs like, Never Alone, Where Were You., Two Rivers. My sister, who loves music was always amazed with how vocal Jeff's song were.
May your tone sound great in heaven Jeff. You have some great players to jam with up there.
Pete, thanks for the tribute!
RIP Jeff Beck
saw him in Quebec City few years ago. there was a rather small stage and I was front row. suddenly he appears with that cream strat and I was totally starstruck. at one point he was right in front of me and I kept thinking '' I don't believe it - this rock legend is right in front of me '' and I kept looking at him playing that guitar very upclose. what a moment it was. RIP Jeff Beck
What a great video. Jeff Beck was a wonderful guitarist. Loved his work, and was sad about the news. Going to listen to some Beck now...
Great Tribute Pete. A great loss. I loved Beck. RIP
Well said, Pete. I will always cherish the memories of seeing him live about 10 years ago at The Moore Theater in Seattle. Just phenomenal. I was just spinning Blow By Blow a couple of days ago. Every bit as good now as it ever was, maybe better. Really bummed about his passing. RIP, Jeff.
Again with such class Pete.. what a loss this is. Jeff Becks Guitarshop.. it hit me when it was released, I was young metal-drummer, the album entered my soul and I was completely hooked.. r.i.p. Jeff..
I'm such a big fan of Becks that I bought one of his signature Fender Strats. Such a great guitar dedicated to such a great guitarist
Thank you for your video in homage to the great Jeff Beck. The shock of Beck's sudden death is too much current for the wire, so to speak. So, R.I.P., Jeff Beck, and thank you for adding your special melody line to my life.
Thanks Pete. You've done the great man proud.
Such shocking news. He looked so vibrant not so long ago. I have Truth on.
Morning Pete, agree with everything you said. Jeff was a unique one of a kind guitar player. I had the opportunity to see him a couple times and each time I was blown away. He was truly a master. Wired is easily one of my top 5 albums of all time. I can't say enough good things about it. It never gets old. He will be missed.
Beck, Blackmore, Clapton, Page, Trower, Iommi, The list goes on .... Soon all the legends will be gone and I'm very blessed I got to enjoy their music growing up. If I didn't mention your favorite guitarists, please forgive me. RIP Mr. Beck, your fans will miss you! 🎸🕊
Ohhh no. A complete shock. I'm reeling now. I've got all of his albums and loved his music and the man.
Haven't stopped listening to him since I heard the tragic news...an icon and I was lucky enough to have worked with him twice at Parkgatestudios( proprietor) in East Sussex. Setting up the mics in the main room whilst Jeff, Pino Palladino and Stewart Copeland were jamming was a privileged moment and is etched in my memory. My favourite guitarist of all time, his improvisation taking the guitar to places you never expected with such emotive tones that tore into your soul, growling like a tiger, heavy like a tank, shocking like an AK47, delicate and sweet like a dove and crying like a baby. Never one for small talk, straight out of the car, into the studio and pick up the guitar...can't think of many musicians that can evoke such feelings. In bits this morning, writing whilst listening. A piece of my personal jigsaw has gone missing...a true great has gone and will be sorely missed.
thank you for the tribute
Hi Pete - A total shock, just cant believe it and absolutely gutted. This guy was one of the best. There are few guitar players who own there own sound, and Jeff was one of those. I remember when Jimi passed, I was so upset - this feels exactly the same. RIP Jeff
Rip Jeff Beck.
I was just listing to Him play that guitar so unbelievable well. I know I'm going to miss him a lot he's another of my favorite guitar players. I was listening to him around 4pm today. I've been listening to Jeff Beck since the Yardbirds. Pete you did a great Tribute to Jeff Beck. Thank you Pete.
Jeff Beck had a hobby of fixing up older corvette cars. This was shown on one of my DVDS that had him on it.
Yes he was a real motorhead
@metalslather I have him on the R&R hall of fame anniversary concert they show his setting in front of a corvette. When his girlfriend came an spoke to him about seeing Hendrix. She thought it would be good for him to see Jimi Hendrix play.
It is an emotional tribute and I too will miss him. Been listening to newer release albums post 2000 online and archival performances. Course have a few records vinyl of earlier and Yardbirds of course.
He was a great mechanic besides his music talent great mind and what he can do with his hands l love his old coops he built
Pleasure of seeing him live back in 1995 ... amazing player .. so sad right now
Heard last night at 10.45pm.
I remember hearing about Jimi’s passing on some September afternoon in ‘70. A similar numb reaction followed.
Jeff was responsible for probably the greatest electric guitar playing I’ve ever come across.
RIP.
