RIP Jeff Beck


Damn I'm stunned.  One guy I was committed to seeing if he ever came back to Denver.  Huge loss.😪

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.

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

While we can all agree that he was fantastic. There are always differences as to what’s representative. These are a must for me. “Brush w/ the Blues” , “‘Good by Porkpie Hat”  and “She’s a Woman”

He rocked my world. He rocked the world. RIP
