My son and I are both guitarists. About ten years, I took him to see Beck live. I gave him a pair of binoculars and told him to focus on Jeff's right hand all night. Needless to say.....he was blown away!!! There is NO ONE like Jeff Beck.
No ONE!! 🎶🎵HE PUT ALL OF HIS SOUL INTO Stratocaster '54. He had a way of talking: Was a language all his own....Tune is from GOODBYE PORK PIE HAT. I SING IT. I try to bend notes vocally like Jeff Does. Try I say
@@lilajagears8317 absolutely not delusional at all!!!….it’s a well known fact that page lifted material from beck……as he did with most artists in his career. Jeff Beck is regarded as guitarists guitarist in the music world……Jimmy is more famous.
Beck is NUMBER ONE, Bar NONE! Not just his technique, it's the way he plays the spectrum of sound, pushes boundaries and just keeps developing, and unlike everyone else from his era he manages to reinvent and remain relevant.
I played in a support band to the Jeff Beck Group in 1968. Jeff was very shy (as was Ronnie Wood on bass) but Rod Stewart was very friendly to us. Bizarre tale from that night: the drummer Micky Waller had opted to go on tour to Japan with The Walker Brothers so Jeff was using pickup drummers for a few gigs. On this night (in Rugby UK) the pickup drummer was Graeme Edge of The Moody Blues who was handy as he lived in nearby Birmingham. Before the audience arrived we got to see them run through intros, stops, etc., which weren't all that tricky as the JBG repertoire was very much blues-based. We pooled our gear with the JBG and Graeme Edge was using his drum kit with the very distinctive 'Moody Blues' graphic, which probably caused a bit of confusion when the curtain went back on us! I've been a fan of Jeff's since seeing him play in the Yardbirds in Coventry in about 1965. All happy memories.
Jeff Beck is the name of the musician everyone in high school wanted to be like or meet. I must say after watching him these past two weeks with Johnny Depp I understand completely. He really is #1. 🦋🦋🦋
RIP JEFF So sad you've passed so unexpectedly! Way too soon! You were one of a Kind Genius Virtuoso on Guitar, writing and arrangement! Your talent spanned Genres and Generations and your Tragic passing is unexpected and a Tragic Loss to Everyone who loves music aswell as your Family Friends and the MANY MANY people who collaborated with you! True English Gent and Genius! You left a Legacy that will live on forever! - I'm sure they'll be playing Guitars instead of Harps for you! R.I.P.(Rock in Paradise) God bless from London 🎸☯️♾️✝️🙏🏴🇬🇧
Was fortunate enough to have seen JB from the 5th row center in Alpharetta, Ga. back in 2014. What a show! NO ONE can play like Jeff. A truly original, unique player and my personal favorite electric guitarist. Thanks for the video.
Gonebutnot4gotten his music was magical and awesome, thanks for sharing this with us, what a life he lived and his music 🎶 will be here 4 ever RIP Jeff Beck ❤😪
His wife is Sandra Cush, NOT Cash, i dated Sandras Sister for years and knew Jeff and Sandra well, stayed at River Hall and witnessed his car collection, and his guitars, a really nice unpretentious guy, Sandra is a lovely lady and also a vegetarian, cooks a mean veggie shepherds pie, i thought it was normal meat.
NOBODY like him, now or ever,truly unique and innovative, jazz, fusion, classic Rock, Jeff can do it All--- he's a Swiss Army knife of any and all styles, genres,my fav.tunes are- Blow by Blow, Jeff Beck group Live, and work /w Rod Stewart
Exactly my thoughts on him, too! Beck, the word " unique" doesn't do Jeff justice, he's what baseball card collectors call a "1of1" which means it's the ONLY 1 in the entire world, the card company made one card of that player to make sure of it's very $$$$ expensive value for collectors. Jeff is Exactly 💯 that. So, my fav.album he's is Every Picture tells a Story, which I believe Maggie May is on? Possibly? 🤔And, he's great, off the charts on Blow by Blow, jazz- Rock @ it's finest 👌 or nowadays it's called Fusion, I think?🎶🎹
I saw Jeff at Middle Earth in London in 1968. Rod Stewart (who I had never heard of before), was on vocals. This was around the time of the Truth album. It was a great show.
I first learned of Jeff BECK in 1973 and then the record, Beck, Bogart and Appodice. Who didn't have that record? Love affairs with Becks' guitar never ends. THE PUMP, tune and album and everything after by BECK just blows me away ! BECKS' work with the female bass player, Tia, is amazing. He always works with female musicians wearing signature white boots. BECK plays Ronnie Scotts in NYC and tickets sell out in minutes. All time master, JEFF BECK.
I was on a tv. show called Shiveree , and the Yardbirds were on . I was front stage and was at his feet , so I asked him " Can't you afford a new guitar ? cause it was all scratched up and had band aids on it. He looked down on me and looked like he wanted to kick me in the face ! I was only 14 and was starting guitar. Years later I saw him with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood . I got to chat with Rod before he went on stage and he was really cool . I told him this story and he laughed !
Es el mejor guitarrista de todos los tiempos...limpio, ágil, diferente, virtuoso en todos aspectos y teconocido por los mejores, como el mejor e incomparable...desde siempre, mi gusto y admiración por Jeff Beck...
When I was a kid in L.A. in the 50s I used to see a lot of those MG TCs around. L.A. was the perfect place for them because of all the canyons like Topanga and Malibu canyons, which went from the Coast Highway to where I lived in the San Fernando Valley. There were also a lot of Porsches, Triumphs, and Mercedes sports cars back then, also Jaguars like the XKE which was one of the coolest looking cars.
I saw the Jeff Beck Group in 1968, just after their album Truth was released. Ron Wood was playing bass. Rod Stewart sang, Mick Waller on drums and Nicky Hopkins on piano. Sublime.
Finally got 2 see Edgar on same bill w/ Alice Cooper and Deep purple 💜 all on the bill in Cincinnati at an amphitheater, it was a life- long dream of mine 2 see Purple because to me Blackmore is the best rock guitarist EVER hands down, except Hendrix, who's far and away away better than anybody who's ever lived, but only Rock&Blues. Because there are literally HUNDREDS of players now who can play all those old tunes, Robin Trower comes 2 mind! Derek Trucks is another fantastic player, so's Jimmy Page. Clapton and many others out on tour and the 🎙 studio--- but I almost left out Prince, who could WAIL and also Kirk Hammett, who can play ▶️ anything you throw in front of him but the " king" of all those cats is B.B.King and blues rock.now is a young man name of Derek Trucks, Peace ✌ out!!
If you love Johnny you absolutely must see the documentary, Johnny Winter: Down & Dirty and watch it until the absolute end. He had some wonderful people in his life helping him…fabulous movie.
Have enjoyed seeing JB live many times...last of which was Hollywood bowl with Rod Stewart. Rough and Ready still is tops IMO, so many fabulous albums. Aloof guitar god of finest talent.
"bassist, Ron Wood" which shows Rod and Jeff, but no Ron. The red Telecaster was the Yardbirds' Tele which Jeff played at first. Eventually he bought his own Tele (actually an Esquire with a 2nd pickup). He got it from John Maus who was one of the Walker Brothers. It was Maus that tried sanding down the edge of the Tele where the elbow usually settles, not Jeff.
Jeff was booted from the Yardbirds after pulling a temper tantrum in late '66 - he didn't 'retire'. With Jimmy Page also in the band at that time they continued with just him, eventually evolving into Led Zeppelin. Beck's first single wasn't 'Love is Blue'; that was his third. The first was 'Hi Ho Silver Lining', which feature John Paul Jones on the bass. The second was 'Tallyman', then 'Love is Blue'. The songs were chosen by his producer, Mickie Most, which was during a time when Peter Grant took over management from Simon Napier Bell, when he absolved himself from the Yardbirds. In the photos of Jeff with the Yardbirds, one actually shows Clapton, while another shows Clapton, then with the Bluesbreakers but just guesting in this instance, along with Beck. When introducing 'Bassist Ron Wood' we are shown a pic of Rod Stewart. There were actually several drummers in the early lineup, including Viv Prince, Keith Moon's 'smash-em-up' here from the Pretty Things. Dunbar (and Wood, with Rod Stewart on backing vocal) played on 'Tallyman'/'Rock My Plimsoul' (single version, not the 'Truth' one) but quit to form his own band, the Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation because he said he found himself being the bandleader for Jeff's band, so he might as well have his own band. After Retaliation he had Blue Whale, which is when Frank Zappa saw him and stole him away to LA to join the Mothers. 'Truth' didn't sell well? It was a major hit in America and beyond, though as with Cream, not big in the UK. Jeff is then referred to as a 'British rock singer'... And he makes a lot of money from his songs? He doesn't really write tunes, just a few over the years. And endorsement deals? A little bit on his signature guitars, but that's hardly enough to pay the phone bill. The photos of Jeff's house... The final one looks somewhat correct, with the multi-bay garage to the left. As for guitars, true, he was without one when he joined the Yardbirds. He used their red Tele, which he said was rubbish, so he borrowed a Tele from former bandmate John Owen. When the Yardbirds toured with the Walker Bros., Jeff purchased a late 50s Esquire from John Walker (nee Maus) for about £70. That became his iconic instrument, though by mid '66 he was also wielding a Les Paul. He would go through a couple Les Pauls in the early Jeff Beck Group, eventually settling on a Strat. He got the oxblood Les Paul for BB&A, a time during which he used it and a Strat, which is what he also did during the 'Blow by Blow' and 'Wired' period. What happened to John Owen's Tele? It was used by Page with the Yardbirds (he stuck mirrors on it) and well into Led Zeppelin (debut album is on that guitar) during which time he removed the mirrors and added his 'dragon' design. Page never did return it, so Beck gifted Owen with one of his own Signature Strats. Page gifted Jeff with a plastic G-40 Maccaferri guitar, which he initially did not like - he felt Page was playing some kind of joke on him - but quickly learned to love and apparently plays often when at home. Though Jeff has been married only twice, he did have a long-term girlfriend in model-turned-animal rescuer Celia Hammond, for whom Donovan wrote the hit song 'Cecelia of the Seals'. Whew! These clips are typically fraught with errors, and this one is as bad as all the rest.
I think youre kind of getting a little carried away with unsupportabled details here. So i'd just like to give you some advice; relax, put your feet up, smoke some weeds, enjoy your homosezualidad as you sound kind of b!!tchay (its okay if you are though) and dun be so TESTY. Jesus Christ girl just relax and enjoy Jeffrey
Beck seems shrouded in secrecy and privacy. I’ve searched for definitive biographies on him over the years, without any success. The few and I mean few, are simply not very good. I really enjoyed reading your informative comment.
As a Musician….he is one of the very special few …IMHO he’s is in the elite club along with Jimi, Mike Bloomfield, Robben Ford, Alvin Lee , EC , Rory Gallagher , Peter Green to name a few. Been a fan forever…..
@@thomasgood3472 Spot on mate don't know what the hype with Hendrix was all about maybe it was Woodstock but then TEN YEARS AFTER blew jimmis ASS off the stage. 😎😎
His major influence was Hank Marvin. His first 18 months/ 2 years were playing in Shadows tribute bands. Probably reason why he was so proficient with the tremolo.
The Oxblood Les Paul belonged to Memphis guitarist Buddy Davis formerly of Target with Jimi Jamison. It wasn’t from Strings and Things . Buddy is still good mates with Jeff Beck and sold him the guitar in 1973.
He's a vegetarian, exercises daily, not a drug user, keeps his mind occupied with activities outside the music business and continually pushes the boundaries when it comes to the guitar, unlike all the other old dried-up farts from his era.
he's vegetarian since the late 1960's, never got too deeply into drugs, keeps slim, has other talents and passions that he pursues. He has the most gorgeous guitar arms.
they used to call someone else god ... jeff has more connection to the instrument on a soulful spiritual level than most including vai , satch and guthrie i am a massive fan of satch and guthrie but only jeff makes the plunk plank sound like that
Jeff Beck the name of my oldest brother, and Jeff Beck he is the only one idol of my father, because my father is a musician, vocal/lead-guitarist. And so sad for brother because he is a dancer not a musician like a father
Probably my most favorite guitar player from the UK. His breed of guitar player from the British Invasion era are not born anymore. These guys will soon be extinct.
Slight correction... and a couple of comments... Mickey Waller played drums on The Jeff Beck Group album. After that album was released I saw Aynsley Dunbar on drums with the band in Bristol. There is also no mention of the tremendous lineups he had with Richard Bailey on drums, Max Middleton on keys , Cliev Chaman on bass, and Bobby Tench on vocals...? I saw him gig in Cardiff on May 27th this year. Stunning gig, with Anika Nilles totally outstanding on drums, despite the fact she'd injured her right foot and had t play kick with her left!!! PS There is no mention of The Tridents, the band Beck was in before he joined the Yardbirds,
Ok, you win. But jeez that hairdo is very Halenesque. Maybe I got confused after reading a guitar magazine article where Eddie cited Jeff as one of his favorite players 🤔
Jeff Beck one of the best guitarist. Clapton. BB king. Sevie Ray Vahn is the best. David Gilmore. Beck har a hard to time but made it. Peace Out and Love. MMLZZZ
My son and I are both guitarists. About ten years, I took him to see Beck live. I gave him a pair of binoculars and told him to focus on Jeff's right hand all night. Needless to say.....he was blown away!!! There is NO ONE like Jeff Beck.

The Oxblood Les Paul belonged to Memphis guitarist Buddy Davis formerly of Target with Jimi Jamison. It wasn’t from Strings and Things . Buddy is still good mates with Jeff Beck and sold him the guitar in 1973.
I think Jeff Beck is a vampire, how else would you explain he’s not ageing
He's a vegetarian, exercises daily, not a drug user, keeps his mind occupied with activities outside the music business and continually pushes the boundaries when it comes to the guitar, unlike all the other old dried-up farts from his era.
he's vegetarian since the late 1960's, never got too deeply into drugs, keeps slim, has other talents and passions that he pursues. He has the most gorgeous guitar arms.
Guitar God
they used to call someone else god ... jeff has more connection to the instrument on a soulful spiritual level than most
including vai , satch and guthrie
i am a massive fan of satch and guthrie but only jeff makes the plunk plank sound like that
What an amazing man . An career .
Happy 78th birthday Jeff.
Saw Jeff at the Grande Ballroom. With Rod and Ronny I
Big block great tune
Jeff Beck the name of my oldest brother, and Jeff Beck he is the only one idol of my father, because my father is a musician, vocal/lead-guitarist. And so sad for brother because he is a dancer not a musician like a father
One of the best guitarist ever
Agreed!!
Hello From Brasil
Rich people don't do much different than we do. they just hang out in nicer places and have nicer things.
Probably my most favorite guitar player from the UK. His breed of guitar player from the British Invasion era are not born anymore. These guys will soon be extinct.
Slight correction... and a couple of comments... Mickey Waller played drums on The Jeff Beck Group album. After that album was released I saw Aynsley Dunbar on drums with the band in Bristol. There is also no mention of the tremendous lineups he had with Richard Bailey on drums, Max Middleton on keys , Cliev Chaman on bass, and Bobby Tench on vocals...? I saw him gig in Cardiff on May 27th this year. Stunning gig, with Anika Nilles totally outstanding on drums, despite the fact she'd injured her right foot and had t play kick with her left!!! PS There is no mention of The Tridents, the band Beck was in before he joined the Yardbirds,
Jeff also played with drummer Cozy Powell, Max Middleton, Clive Chapman, Bob Tench in the Jeff Beck Group
The attention to detail required in auto restoration comes through in his music.
77 gosh he looks amazing 👏 😍
Through the seventies I remember Carmine Appice's last name pronounced App-a-see...
Particularly when referring to Beck, Bogart and Appice.
The Best guitarist eddy Van halen and Jeff Beck
The MAN!
RIP:( Miss you:(
R.I.P. 👑
Mr. Geoffrey Arnold Beck 🔥🎸💪👊😎🤘
My first boyfriend played the bass guitar in the seventies. That’s when I was following you..
Mighta helped if you played some background music by Beck in the video..
Just sayin'...
Don't want to share their YT income with copyright holders.
Interesting how subjective music is. Truth has been one of my favourite albums since hearing it for the first time in ‘69. R.I.P.
Wow Ron wood on bass
Eu sinto muito por essa perda.. e uma perda que não existe palavras.. a morte e algo que nos paralisa... Mas haverá um novo amanhecer??
SAW HIM IN IOWA WITH THE JAN HAMMER GROUP IN THE SEVENTIES.
Endorsements? What endorsements? News to me.
And he a nice MAN....
That's surely Eddie Van Halen 1:15 wearing a Jeff Beck shirt🤔
Negative -That pic of Jeff has appeared in many guitar magazine articles since the 1970s.
WEIRD wired seriously a few of your wires must have been cut Hopefully. 😩✂️✂️
Ok, you win. But jeez that hairdo is very Halenesque. Maybe I got confused after reading a guitar magazine article where Eddie cited Jeff as one of his favorite players 🤔
Jeff Beck one of the best guitarist. Clapton. BB king. Sevie Ray Vahn is the best. David Gilmore. Beck har a hard to time but made it. Peace Out and Love. MMLZZZ
He's better than all those chumps, lol
All taken away in an instant. Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.
