RIP Jeff Beck


Too soon, even at age 78

ghasley

He was so different from most other guitarists.  He did so many things, devoid of effects pedals, that made you sit up and say, "how did he do that?" He really explored the sound of the instrument.  His work with the Yardbirds and his Truth album were enough to put him forever on the top tier of rock guitarists in my book.

His performance at Crossroads was jaw-dropping IMHO. Does anyone know where to purchase the R&RHOF DVD of his induction in 2009 where he is dressed in white and plays with Jimmy Page?  I can't seem to find it? Thanks, guys!!

 

May he RIP

Loved his clean style

Truth

Many gems in Blow by Blow, Wired...There and Back

The ARMs concert in SF 83? got me started as well which turned out to be my favorite recording on a Sony walkman, at the time to get Jimmy Page

Dont forget his many collaborations....

Such as the solo in Rod Stewart’s Infatuation.

 

 

Haven’t heard “Truth “ or “Blow by Blow” in years but have enjoyed “Jeff”, “You Had It Coming”, and “Guitar Shop”. 
He will be missed…
