RIP Jeff Beck

So sad. Saw him back in the 1980's and he was amazing. 

That's the thing about getting old. Way to many deaths and funerals and too few marriages and birth announcements.

Sigh.......

Terrible news.

I feel fortunate to have caught JB twice in his last decade.

One of the few surviving legends that was still active and blowing the minds of

guitar fans.

One of rare electric innovators that didn't read music, but had the natural talent to create it.

Just listened to both sides of Truth last night, this is so GD sad

On my system tonight.  RIP JB.  I spent an entire summer of my life listening to Blow By Blow, over and over.  As someone noted recently in the thread "Favorite Guitarist, his abilities are evident in that no one tried to cover him.  Innovator.  

Go to the youtubes and watch his performance of NADIA with Wilkenfeld and Colaiuta.  He does most of the song with the tremolo active & cupped in his hand.  Great recording as well with every instrument coming through. Tight, beautiful.  Perfect baseline from Wilkenfeld.

"The guitar can be a curse, always there challenging you to do something ...."
