Rest in peace to one of the most magnificent guitarists the world has ever seen. Words cannot describe the ethereal sounds that touched the souls of so many.
I have seen him four times and never have seen him do the same thing the same way. He never ceases to amaze me. His slide playing on this song is incredible.! This man is a genius.
a friend of mine who is a very accomplished guitar player after seeing this video went home and tried to reproduce the slide technique at the end of this song. he told me, "It didn't work." In Jeff's hands it did.
I remember when "Who Else" came out in 1999 my life as a guitarist changed. I think he peaked around that time, and though he hasn't really slowed down, that era, late 90s, early 2000s is my favorite. Another favorite is "Bulgaria" from an album or two later, mind blowing phrasing and playing...
This is the first time hearing this song. It sure is beautifully done by Jeff Beck. Such a haunting melody and Jeff's guitar is crying so sweetly.❤ RIP, so sadly missed.
I've seen him in 2001. Unbelievable. I was in first row in front of the stage and it was astonishing. How the hell was he able to do such things on a Strat? It was just like going in another dimension. I'll thank him forever for his music.
Myself witnessed Jeff. breakout a blond Telecaster and proceeded to play The Beverly Hillbillies theme banjo Style on the guitar to wear it sounded just like a banjo it was amazing
Yes! I first saw him play the Beverly Hillbillies in 1973 with Beck, Bogert and Appice. It was part of ‘Jeff’s Boogie’ back then and he played it on the oxblood Les Paul. There’s audio of it on TH-cam and other places, search the song name and ‘Beck Bogert Appice live.’ They recorded a live album that was only officially released in Japan at the time,
@@GuiitarBilly awesome thank you for the info. It's amazing to me what a Camielion Jeff is. I think he has played every style of Music and created his own. Sure do miss him 😥
What must that sound like, feel like inside Jeff? OMG. Such tone Such sensitivity. Such Genius. Saw him at the Whisky A Go Go Very early 70’s. He produced some extraordinary harmonics w the house Bose 901’s. Or maybe that was the Hashish i ate🤔 Still his playing carries me on a superbly emotional carpet ride. Thank you Man for sharing this generation w me. I’m 71
Existen genios, Jeff fue uno de ellos. Tuve la oportunidad de verlo en Uruguay en 1998 y al finalizar el recital me quedé sentado en la butaca del teatro un buen rato, quedé impactado.
this is the holy grail!!!!!!!!! I love the tele, and shows, great footage on how to learn the song too!!!!!! thanks so much for the post,,, never take this down please!
There’s a version from 2006 from Udo in Fuji that’s great too, probably my fave. It’s on the #1 white Strat and there’s just the right ambiance imoho. He was using a Klon into his old Marshall superleads by then and the tone is Fat. I love the Ronnie Scott’s performances but some are just a bit dry bc it’s a small room. Jeff typically played theater size and larger venues and the bigger halls gave him natural verb. Udo/Fuji has that going on (even though it’s outside, must come from the audience mics?) as does this video.
All about telling a story on the guitar! This guy without the use off a pick! All feeling,I love beck! What makes it special, is his Phrasing! Very few players have this. David Gilmore is another great one!
saw him in brisbane 1976 then 2009 in brisbane and boy did he deliver and that history with the yard birds .I think i became a majot fan after the appearance in Blow Up movie
Great but the snare drum is too damn loud and too " ringing " for this song. Steve should have muffled the top head a bit and went light on the attack. That bonging, loud, ringing snare interrupts the guitar sound and the whole mood of this song.
I know Beck is a mainly a great Strat player, but I always thought there was more stuff where he played a Tele. Apart fromt he videos with Eric Clapton. Maybe just this period!
@@shanetutt518 I agree. Yardbirds-tele, first Jeff Beck Group-Les Paul and Strat (on Beck-Ola), second Jeff Beck Group-Strat, Beck Bogert Appice -Les Paul, Blow by Blow -Les Paul and TeleGib [tele with humbuckers], Wired-Strat…and then Strat as main guitar from then on. Except: Flash album in the mid 80s had him on a pointy Jackson Soloist for a minute. He’s pictured miming with a tele on the People Get Ready music video, probably played one on the session. Occasional tele one offs in the studio till the end. I saw him on nearly every US tour from 1972 onwards and only saw the tele come out in 1999 and 2002 for one song per show. It was pretty much all Strat from 1977-2022 at his concerts. Admittedly I only saw his shows in the greater Bay Area and Las Vegas. Pretty sure he played the tele on an 80s concert in Japan, possibly because he was jamming with Santana and lukather (?). He also played tele in a one off appearance with Eric Clapton at the Secret Policeman’s Other Ball in the UK in 1981.. He did bring the Les Paul back for the Les Paul (the artist) tribute songs he played as part of the rockabilly shows with Imelda May and her band in 2010. The rockabilly tunes, oldies covers and Danny Boy were played on the white Strat. For the Crazy Legs Gene Vincent tribute album in the 1990s he played a Gretsch, just like Cliff Gallup did on the original 50s recordings. In a couple of days Jeff will have been gone a year. I still think of him every day. RIP
@@robertpatterson3406 Is he using a vibrato bar here? Do I need to explain it to you? No he's playing the guitar, not the silly whammy bar. You know, like when he was a real guitarist in the 60's and 70's and 80's. Did he use it occasionally, tastefully then??? Sure. Not like today's "Jeff Plays Timeless Memories on the Whammy Bar"................I saw him with Clapton in 2010. Went to see Beck, not Clapton. I expected Beck to blow Clapton off the stage. Didnt happen. Clapton, who I havent heard a new lick from since 1975, actually was a better show, although Beck played well in the 3rd set, whilst Clapton held down the songs and Jeff did his usual "Look at Me" act. Yeah yeah yeah , Nessum Dorma, Day in the Life, a bunch of contrived orchestra baloney as well. He didnt play a flat out guitar solo the whole night. Just a bunch of silly whammy bar melodies and guitar tricks. His best playing ended with There and Back. At least then he had Max Middleton, Stevie Wonder, NMW and Hammer writing interesting songs for him.
@@danw5785 If you would watch that whole concert like I said you would see that he used the whammy bar in every song except for Angel . The concert is live in Japan 1999 and he always used it for all those years you mentioned just like how he quit using a pick .Even Eric Clapton said that he uses the whammy bar in ways that no other guitarist could come close to him .
@@robertpatterson3406 Right and I like the fact the didnt use it on this song and just played the guitar without his "gimmick" and relied on his own technique. I'm more interested in the notes he chooses, technique and dynamics. His own hand supplied vibrato is much more interesting than the exaggeration he applies with the bar. It's among the best in the world when he chooses. When he employed the bar as an accent it was much more interesting, not as his seeming main focus. Look at She's a Woman. Played on the Les Paul, no bar, awesome expressiveness. As far as melody playing it is head and shoulders above this DITL/Nessum Dorma/Whammy bar on every note. And he was much more interesting when using a pick most of the time. He played longer lines. He relied on his technique and tonal approach. Maybe he cant play like that anymore? In the 70's and 80's he was standing next to guys like McLaughlin and Carlton, on ability and technique as well and melodic approach. Jazz Rock was a thing. He had to stand out.
@@robertpatterson3406 Tell me Jeff would you rather see? Day in the Life/Nessum Dorma Jeff Beck or this one??? th-cam.com/video/fKGpYHfvfTc/w-d-xo.html
Rest in peace to one of the most magnificent guitarists the world has ever seen. Words cannot describe the ethereal sounds that touched the souls of so many.
What great words... totally agree!
One of? THE best.
From another universe..magnificent playing...from day 1 when i first heard him in the yardbirds
Boyan,
J.B. NEVER peaked. He grew till the day he passed.
Rest in Peace...JEFF BECK...one of the best rock guitarrists of all time.. January 10, 2023
SO MANY DIFFERENT STYLES,AND ALL WITH HIS TOUCH ..ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE ..SIMPLY THE BEST.
I Love Jeff beck
...as well as, what....60 years practice? Ya, I love it too..unique
Chokes me up every time.
I have seen him four times and never have seen him do the same thing the same way. He never ceases to amaze me. His slide playing on this song is incredible.! This man is a genius.

I loved Jeff Beck RIP GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER EVER
I have watched him countless times and I can't believe that he can still surprise me. He is like 15 of the most brilliant gitarists in one person.
72 huh!!!
That Ladies and Gentlemen.......is pure genius!

Your old crew in Canterbury sorely misses you Jeffry. Barbeque ribs and cornbread.
This is the first time hearing this song. It sure is beautifully done by Jeff Beck. Such a haunting melody and Jeff's guitar is crying so sweetly.❤ RIP, so sadly missed.
What a loss. So glad recordings like this exist. Thanks for posting. Jeff was a certified genius.
As long as Jeff Beck is alive,there is still hope in Rock and Roll
but this is Reggae-Funk ...... man

Even without the Strat whammy bar that became an inseparable part of his playing for the last 4 decades, this still sounds like Jeff. One of one.
This is a masterpiece of the highest level!
What must that sound like, feel like inside Jeff? OMG. Such tone Such sensitivity. Such Genius.

RIP Jeff Beck 🎸😔✝️

Rest in peace maestro.
Allucinent . Merci monsieur Beck
Awesome !!
holy shit
Jeff and a Tele. That's all I'll say.
A Magical duo!
My master, SAUDADES. I missing you
The Best.
the best ever srv 2nd and you can take your pick from the rest brilliant as they are
Cool...you can see a little bit of Jeff Beck picking style
Wow I didnt think Id hear a better version of this than the Ronnie Scots version but it sounds so much better on the Tele than the Strat.
agreed. no whammy bar.
@ 4:30-33 that low note growl from the tele...👌

The run starting at 2:38 is spectacular. I dare anyone to duplicate anything like it.
it's impossible to copy Jeff Style. even the best guitarist, it's something that goes beyond technique. He was an alien
Amazing right!
What about coming up with it in the first place!?
saw him in brisbane 1976 then 2009 in brisbane and boy did he deliver and that history with the yard birds .I think i became a majot fan after the appearance in Blow Up movie
Damn r.i.p. legend
RIP. JEFF BECK....LOVE AND MISS YOU!
I was JUST wondering what Jeff Beck would do without his whammy bar.....then I found this vid and was like, ooooooooooooh THATS what he would do.
WOW!only a word:Magnifico.
bad mtrfkr you never knew what he had in mind, the greatest. see you on the other side Jeff ♥️
genio
Love it¡
R.I.P
You’ve done well, surpassing Hendrix
When I hear someone say "I don't get Jeff Beck" I just think to myself someone who reads comic books probably doesn't get Nietzsche either.
rip
@5:34 is the bassist’s favourite part of the song.
Why doesn't this song have 10million views while some 16 year old playing Eruption will?
Up There
Angel by Jimi Hendrix?
4:45 magical minutes.
the fuck i just witnessed
Great but the snare drum is too damn loud and too " ringing " for this song. Steve should have muffled the top head a bit and went light on the attack. That bonging, loud, ringing snare interrupts the guitar sound and the whole mood of this song.
Most kids today would watch this ,and totally not get what the big deal is at all. And that fucking sucks.
La phylosophy musical
What the hell are youtube thinking about? This is audio pornography and should be removed!!!
Aaaaaaah..... this is a song for making love .... over the night.... and day .... wow ! ... what the romantic moods ...
Thats Michael Jacksons guitarist right???
Yes.Jennifer Batten
Nietzsche avait raison : la vie ne meriterait pas d'être vécue sans musique.
I know Beck is a mainly a great Strat player, but I always thought there was more stuff where he played a Tele. Apart fromt he videos with Eric Clapton. Maybe just this period!
He uses the Tele mainly for this piece.
He used the tele for People get Ready with Rod Stewart.
He started out on tele..then lespaul.but ended up.settling on a strat.still brings out the tele for some things
