How I miss the days when broadcasters took music this seriously! What an extraordinarily talented and handsome man. RIP Jeff Beck, what a light in this cruel world you were!
They took it seriously because we, the fans took it seriously. I grew up in the 60s (b. 1954) and for many of us, that’s much of what we talked about. I started off buying 45s, then graduated to LPs and if we were lucky, we could afford one every few weeks. We’d play it to death, share it with friends, and read about it in music magazines. Some (not me) took up an instrument and they got into the music even deeper. I miss those days as well, Ikem.
@Syd McCreath That's a bit harsh Syd. Jeff's playing an American guitar through an American amp with an American wah pedal. The Colorsound overdrive box is British though. :)
Jeff Beck was part of an amazing generation of talented people who came to prominence in the 60s and 70s and are now slowly leaving us. Nice to see him here explaining his magic.
Nobody could do things with the guitar the way Jeff Beck could! Whether you agree that he was the greatest guitarist or not, he was certainly the most unique. RIP legend!
This is an incredible piece of music history. It's awesome to hear how Jeff Beck created his iconic sounds on the guitar. May he rest in peace. Cheers! ✌️🙏🕊️🎸
This is awesome. Even more impressive: one or two years later he would switch to a Stratocaster (the first one being the white he got as a gift from John McLaughlin and appears on the Wired album cover), a few years later he would stop using a pick, etc, etc. Jeff was always exploring other forms of expression and becoming more and more unique in his “voice” as a guitarist. Total genius.
May we all aspire to find our own voices and vessels of inspiration, like Jeff (RIP) did. He always felt like a friend who also played guitar and just happened to be a way lot better than me. More inspiring than intimidating because he was so relatable; he was honest about his own inspirations; flashy; fun; let's not forget a creative rhythm player and brilliant accompanist. A dedicated guitar fan himself. Oh yeah, and also an Artist. This video shows how he is using relatively simple gear with an awareness of how you can utilize it, depending on how you feel, or what you want, and thereby expressively. The foresight/vision is evident. I guess also common knowledge for professional guitarists of some experience and caliber, at the time. Band looks bored. This vid also shows a possible genesis for certain film scenes, specifically, the explanation of the front and back pups. 'thought I was watching Spinal Tap for a second or two. Yes, JB (RIP) was a patient interviewee in this as he was a good listener as appropriate always; noise as required.

@@albertwright1875 : I completely agree. Jeff would sound like Jeff even using the vacuum cleaner borrowed from my house. Of course, the vocabularies are different (sometimes not so much), but to me Jeff is the Miles Davis of the guitar. Such a unique "voice" on the instrument (two bars and you know who it is), always seeking something new, exploratory. Two geniuses.
My dad died in November and I chose Diamond Dust by Jeff Beck as the opening piece of music as he was one of Dad's favourite musicians. It was a strange thing to read Beck had died the other day. His family and friends may never see this comment but my heart goes out to them.
So sorry to hear about your father. Diamond Dust" is a work of art, a Bernie Holland masterpiece. You chose the most mysterious reflective and warm piece of music. Incidentally, Bernie Holland said once that Jeff played that solo in one take, no rehearsal.
I’m sorry about your dad. I lost mine Friday the 13th of April, 2012. I miss him to this day. I now take care of my mom who is Beck’s age at 78! JB was a one of a kind musician.
Thank you for posting this. I watched it when it was first broadcast with my father, a jazz fan who generally didn't think that much of the kind of thing I wanted to listen to as a teenager. But he loved this slot with Jeff Beck; liked his playing and found him charming and amusing as a personality. That's Jeff - he could cross barriers.
This interview with Jeff Beck is a precious archival piece of the most important electric guitarist (with Hendrix and Van Halen), we are now all orphans of these 3 geniuses and no one will do as much as they did nor bring as much ideas for creativity, innovations in sound, guitar playing technique. Jeff Beck is unique and stands out with his particular touch with his finger guitar playing, his use of the stratocaster tremolo and the volume knob making the sounds more alive - more emotional and close to the human voice (I'm not talking about the use of the talk box which is a specific effect which he did not need to make his guitar sing).
Yeah Jeff was part of an exclusive group of exceptionally gifted guitarists who took playing to another level. I'd add Stevie Ray Vaughan and Gary Moore.
@@greenlightwilly no not at all - no honorable mention. Just like the inventor of the automobile wouldn't be mentioned with the greatest motor racing drivers of all time. I find your argument bizarre.
Aswell as a fantastic guitar player very cool looking dude in his prime aswell has a very good attitude about him not pompous and very softly spoken and intelligent
As Blackmore said of Beck, "He plays notes that aren't on my guitar." Interesting to see his signal chain. Wah => Coloursound Overdriver => Ampeg combo. The ZB volume pedal didn't seem to be plugged in. I'd be interested to know more about that Ampeg, and to know what the little silverface Champ was for.
im guessing the champ was the talk box since it needs a seperate amp. Im also assuming the volume pedal was for the swells he achieves on the record, much easier with a tele or strat, harder with the les paul
Bless him what an absolute legend and role model for so many aspiring guitar gods in particular the Spinal Tap "This one goes to 11" guy! His music and matchless playing will be remembered and treasured for all time winning new fans along the way. RIP Jeff you were truly a one off, gone too soon.
Growing up, Jeff Beck was often played on my father's turntable in the background of my childhood. My father chose an album to play every night @ dinner. "Beck's Bolero" & "Blow by Blow" were favorites, as he was one of my father's favorite musicians. Jeff Beck was often called a "guitarist's guitarist ", or a "musician's musician", I can't think of another musician who better fits that description. Wherever we go into the universe, I hope my father was able to shake JB's hand.
This was an amazing little programme. Never seen this segment. Imagine, Julian Bream, John Renbourn, Paco, Beck and Barney Kessel on the same lineup. Thanks very much. So many legends now gone. Enjoy the ones we have.
The interviewer, Mike Harding, seems quite knowledgeable, so I looked him up. Apparently he was best known as a comedian, but also a songwriter and musician, with over 20 albums released. So he knew about guitars. He is still alive. [Added] There is an interview from the same programme with Paco Pena here: th-cam.com/video/Vq-w7sKtb2I/w-d-xo.html There must also have been one with Julian Bream, but I can't find this on YT. And probably two others - maybe jazz and country? - to make up the 'five faces'.
Britain produced some exceptional guitarists in that era, and although Jeff was at the pinnacle, let's not forget Stan Webb, Robin Trower and Peter Frampton, all thankfully still with us.
@@kingslaphappy1533 Could also be Joe Walsh. He used a home made talk box early on, most noteably on "Rocky Mountain Way" off of the second Barnstorm album, which had been out for about a year at this point.
It’s really hard to believe that about a decade earlier musicians generally weren’t allowed to play live, on air, with show wanting it to sound like the exact studio recording. It’s crazy that the host even seems to have a vague idea of the right questions to ask as if anyone other than a guitarist cares about string gauge and action.
I started listening to Jeff Beck very early on and was always scared at how he kept improving up until his saddening death. What an interesting musician who could play it all his way. RIP brother. I'm still trying to comp your riffs.
He looks fantastic here. Both wearing some crazy high platforms! . Wish I had seen this as a kid. Wish I had seen Jeff Beck too. RIP you brilliant genius🌹🌹🌹
So damn cool to see this!!! What a loss, he was a guitar genius. On a more uplifting thought “Nigel” from Spinal Tap strikes a crazy resemblance!!! I’m sure that was the plan in the movie all along
@@wadeguidry6675 I kept expecting Jeff to say “Don’t even look at it” and to demonstrate how long the Les Paul would sustain if it was plugged in. Christopher Guest did base Nigel Tufnell on the great Jeff Beck and it’s quite eerie.
Mark knopfler, beck Clapton page kossof John mayall peter green Ritchie Blackmore just a whole herd of great guitarists from that country back then although beck would be just about the first and possibly one of the most influential, he was such a perfectionist and so original
Have to say, I was a bit shocked when I seen his talk box in a bag with a strap. Had to look it up. Apparently, it was "The Bag" talk box made by Kustom. Man, Jeff was so cool, truly one of the best. Mourned throughout the world. R.I.P. Mr. Beck.
As a failed practitioner, but massive fan, of guitar music, it is difficult to comprehend that nowhere now on this planet is the great Jeffrey Arnold Beck plying his trade...
@@upholuphol5812 Not the full version in high quality, at least as far as I have seen. There's a high quality partial version and a low quality full version.
Speaking of the “bag” I was fortunate enough to see Jeff Beck (Arie Crown Theatre)and Peter Frampton(Aragon Ballroom)on back to back nights in May 1975.Both great shows but even then you could see JB was developing a whole new vocabulary.Saw him several times before his tragic passing as he continued to evolve and grow as a player.He is the only player who never rested on his laurels always evolving and trying new things.He was there at the beginning (fuzz tone/feedback) and 60 years later was still playing beautifully.We were all blessed to live in his time and see his genius.
Sad times, having Jeff Beck gone. Good interview. No condescension and good questions from the host. Wonder how long before Jeff stitched primarily to the Strat from this Les Paul?
Apart from Jeff being ‘one of one’ as a guitarist, he has a completely unique look. There is no one else (uk) with his facial features. Not that I’ve seen anyway. He’s stunning and so interesting to listen to when he’s explaining.
Notice Jeff's home made strap lock! Made from a fender washer screwed in where the strap button would have been!! Showing off his mechanic skills years before guitar strap locks were developed commercially
A true rocker! Jeff know his gear, setup, and everything that makes it tick! I'm not sure of how many musicians today could carry this conversation. Great stuff here! Thanks for posting.
I love how 'laid back' the 70s presenting style was. It seems people spoke in more whispered tones, and didn't talk over each other.
It certainly is economical
Back then when they care talking about music, you won't see a rig review in nowadays TV.
Better said, you barely will see music on TV.
Even john lydon AKA johnny rotten can speak like a real British gentleman..
I believe they call that having manors...
2020-2024 : HEY EVERYONE IM WITH JEFF BECK HERE!!!!!!!! MAKE SURE TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!!!!!!!! *tears vocal chords*
Aside from being one of the world's great guitarists, he does an awesome Nigel Tufnel impression. We miss you Jeff
Hahaha Hahaha
I was expecting that if the interviewer points his finger to the bag, he would just say: "Don´t even point at it."
He does...dunt he.
Good one!
Hahaha ..yea Spinal Tap
Beck is a favorite of mine musically
I used to cut hair musicians mostly
The Jeff Beck/ Keith Richard look was very popular no maintence was adaptable to most average persons hair wavy straight it was shampoo n go.. shake it as it dries Perfect your a Rock n Roll Star

To hear him break down the humbuckers between mellow and harsh is so amazing...
For several years now Eric Clapton uses a Fender Twin Reverb and a Strat. No pedals. Every knob on amp at 7. That's it!
This is awesome. Even more impressive: one or two years later he would switch to a Stratocaster (the first one being the white he got as a gift from John McLaughlin and appears on the Wired album cover), a few years later he would stop using a pick, etc, etc. Jeff was always exploring other forms of expression and becoming more and more unique in his “voice” as a guitarist.

I think this is what Nigel Tufnel was built on😂😂😂Jeff was truly one of one. Legendary. Greatest guitarist in my opinion. R.I.P.
Don't even look at it..
Jeff was 100% the inspiration, and was actually very annoyed when spinal tap was released as it was such a blatantly obvious satire of him (in part).
The sustain…
@@obscurazone but they were bang on. parody up to 11 even. tapped right into Jeff's mannerisms.
