  • I'm sorry to report that guitar god Jeff Beck has passed away. At age 78, he rocked hard for many years. Many axe slingers reference Jeff's unique style and sound as a critical influence. Brian May, Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton to name a few. His use of fingerstlye technique and the whammy bar turned many heads. He was known as the guitar players guitarist. His own music didn't have broad commercial appeal but he directed the notes of the most famous players. In this video we'll watch a live performance Jeff did of his track "Big Bloc" in 2022. What a boss to be playing all the way until the end!

      Jeff didn't sound like Steve Via. Steve Vai sounds like Jeff
      Beck's influence permeated Rock guitardom. Some players are influenced by him without ever having heard him, through hearing Vai, Satch, Becker, Poland, etc.......

      So true! Beck's tone was truly unique and distinct. Most amateur guitar players don't seem to realize quite how important tone is to making a great guitarist. It's not all about how fast you can play. Jef Beck knew this better than anyone.

      Yngwie.
      Fender's first signature Strat manufactured and sold because of a guitarist was in homage to Yngwie Malmsteen and very early in Yngwie's career, when he was well under 30. Why? Yngwie still gets the best tone from a Strat.

    As Jeff said from day #1, he was never 'in it' for the fame and money but instead, for the artistry and for the love of playing the Guitar. Jeff always stuck to doing his own thing, and boy, how incredibly unique did that turn out to be! 100% uncopyable. A joy to watch. A true "Guitarists' Guitarist". Was he the greatest ever? (trick question 😉) - no sane person, ever, wants to live in a world where every musician/band sounds the same, for that world would have things that 'correct'(i.e. remove human element) vocal/instrument pitches and phrasing, a world full of miming - no one wants to live in that world...waaaaait a minute.....OH FCUK !!!!
    Back to Was he the greatest ever? Answer: think spices, think variety! Then, look at virtuosity + (the crucial 'Greatest' element)...influence, then, and only then, we've landed in the Guitar Gods category, comprising a small handful of geniuses - and maestro Jeff Beck is most certainly one of them.
    RIP Jeff. Your awesome legacy will never die.

    He was a far better musician than guitarist, and that is the biggest praise I can give him because his guitar playing was out of this world. Not only was he great at the fretboard and tone, he was also a great band member that allowed "lesser" names to the shine and had this uncanny ability to see the whole of band playing. He never overruled anyone, and always saw himself as part of something greater, e.g the band he plays with. Bass players that have had the luxury of playing with him all report how their mistakes were saved by Jeff Beck, and how he effortlessly glued any band together with his playing alone. Truly a great musician, and may he rest in peace. I hope my late father gets to jam with him.

    I saw a video yesterday of Jeff Beck, Brian May, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page all in the same room. They were meeting the Queen. Just think about the musical/guitar influence of those four had. All four are Masters in their own regard and are your favorite guitar players guitar players. I had never seen it until yesterday. They were supposed to be the ones in the presence of royalty, but IMHO the Queen was the one in the presence of royalty. She was clueless as to who they were. When she got to shake hands with Jimmy Page, he told her he was a guitarist, she had no idea who he was. Brian chimed in "...he was in Led Zeppelin" and it meant nothing to her. Kind of funny.

    Ozzy Osborne: "it was such an honor to have known Jeff Beck and an incredible honor to have him play on my most recent album Patient #9. Long live Jeff Beck!"
    Zakk Wylde: "Whenever I listen to Jeff's playing I get inspired. As far as I'm concerned he's one of the best guitar players ever."
    Kirk Hammett: "I have nothing but tremendous respect for Jeff as a musician. I am still blown away by him to this day and for him to get continually better and better over the years is such an inspiration to me."
    Richie Blackmore: "I think the forerunners of that (Led Zepellin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath) were the Yardbirds and Jeff Beck - that was very important. He started the ball rolling."
    Jimmy Page: "Jeff's whole guitar style was totally unorthodox to the way anyone was taught. He's really developed a whole style of expanding the electric guitar and creating tones and techniques totally unheard of before and that's just an amazing feat - believe me, he just doesn't stop - he only gets better and better and better. He's done so much for rock n roll and he always will."
    Eric Clapton: "Jeff Beck is one of the most unique guitar players and the most devoted"
    Brian May: "Watching Jeff Beck is like watching Mozart. Jeff is extraordinary. He's got to be one of the greatest musicians on the planet ever. He's an absolute phenomenon. He is the governor, he is my hero and I stand by that."

    I think for me it was his tremolo work that hit me the most because if you notice, he's able to muster a lot of energy without picking and use the manipulation of his strings to produce energy that's otherwise picked. "So what!?" you may say...but the subtle element is, it's all without unwanted scrips, squawks, blips and beeps of accidental unwanted notes ringing out and he's not using a noise gate or a Michael Angelo Batio style dampener. Full manipulation and natural noise control ability while producing perpetual motion through his trem PLUS masterful voicing of his chords. I think people should listen to his stuff, choose a handful, research how it should be played and give it a go in his style. Thanks, Jeff!

    Had the advantage of longevity that Hendrix, Clearance white, Charlie Christian did not. Even with the others living (or a Duane Allman) JEFF BECK would still rank among the best ever! Wish radio would play more guitar rock instrumentals. Without such as The Shadows, Ventures, Duane Eddy, or Link Wray...where would rock be today?!

    The man played with Stevie Ray Vaughan and John McLaughlin.
    Check out his solo on What God Wants part 3 by Roger Waters.
    I like the Vai comparison by shred because they both could get so much out of the bent string and did great flicked whammy bar growls, but Beck seems more organic. The emotional expression, his range, vulnerability and tenderness to howling rage...1 of 1.

    I have to say that even though I thought I was following Jeff Beck, I did not know the half of it. I managed to get some LPS, but I HAD MISSED SO MUCH. I went to a Jeff Beck Concert at the Albert Hall, and he was all by himself, with a accompaniment of a magical machine, with all the input arranged by Beck, and it was brilliant. I have followed Jeff Beck all my life and for all I know all my class mates at Sutton East did so as well, but I found it difficult to sometimes find what I wanted to find, and sometimes it was as though he did not exist! I looked out and would hear very occasionally, that a new record had come out. There was not much in the news either. He was so right, the British were not fans of "different" kinds of music. However, the American Market kept him and the various bands he joined through his life, and also the Japanese, earning a living. What Jeff really was,- was an inventor of new kinds of very different SOUNDS in music with an electric guitar, and new ways of expressing it. If any country was as into admiring great musicians, it is America, and also India and Japan, and probably Africa. I have found out in the past weeks what Jeff Beck has really done. He invented a new way of expressing himself , and a new way of playing the guitar that was unique to himself. His mother was a serious piano player and I had the same kind of mother, except that my mother was also interested in Jazz and the music of other countries all around the world, including African ones. She got me to play jazz at two pianos with her when I was 8 years old. It was not exactly my kind of music, but Jeff's mother who was seriously trained at the piano must have owned some records of the serious composers, such as those Jeff Beck mentioned -Mahler, Bach, Mozart etc, as I did, and also we lisite3d to African music, and Yuma Sumac the South American singer Yuma Sumac, who had a range of four octaves! I also wanted to invent a new kind of playing the piano but it was too difficult a task, and I failed. However Jeff Beck introduced Indian music, and seriously different SOUNDS into his playing that were modern and also ancient, like the Sitar, and the way that Hindu songs are sung by women, and like the Beach Boys' star inventor. I understand that now. That is the side of Jeff that is different from anyone else. It is the sounds and the invented ways of expressing those sounds, that is important about him. He said he was always looking for sounds that were "different", and he certainly did that! I have a daughter called Nadia, and I only found out tonight that the sounds are actually based on a real singers' way of expressing her Hindu songs, and a Musician from India who created the song. Jeff was playing another person's ways of expressing a song on the Guitar. No one has done this before in this way. He does it so well, and some. He already plays like no one else. I feel angry that the UK did not encourage him, but only too often, people think they understand and can judge. Jeff and his bands used the American market to earn a living. All his interviews include this fact. The larger markets understood what he was doing. More blinkered countries just did not hear it. I is also to do with publicity. I have heard guitarists who really know and understand the guitar explain why Jeff Beck is one of the greatest guitarists. It is because he plays it so differently. He invented a new way if getting the guitar to make different sounds not heard in Rock, and Fusion. Cynthia Allen McLaglen

    RIP Jeff !! Ranking guitar players is for young people or magazines that want to increase their sales . As a great drummer from the past said when asked if Buddy Rich was the greatest drummer ever , the man replied it’s not a foot race . Where’s there’s first second and third . Beck was in the top level of rock guitarist, but it’s so much a matter of taste , Beck is number 2 in my book Page is number one . But it’s an opinion. Clapton is not in the top 10 of my list and Hendrix is probably around 7 or 8 . Keep a rockin

      It has nothing to do with popularity Page is number 1 rock guitarist period !!! Page came before them all . Even Townsend still in high school saw Page play and knew he was going places .so did Ritchie Blackmore . Van Hallen got his taping from heartbreaker . Steve Via talked about Pages influence. So you don’t know what you’re talking about when you dismiss Page as popular, but it’s opinions so you can say what you like .

    There were/are great guitarists & then there’s Jeff Beck. Those others each had their general genre, while Beck had all genres. For one example, who else amongst them could possibly have pulled off the Les Paul tribute he staged? Touch, creativity, originality, unbridled passion up until the end, technical proficiency, any way you cut it he had no peers, literally one of a kind we’ll never see/hear again.

    It always pissed me off when I would see Jimmy Page consistently ranked higher than Jeff Beck in GOAT polls, for no other reason, than he was more popular! Just because someone is more popular, doesn't make them better! More people may have had a chance to hear Jimmy Page through radio airplay--but that doesn't make him better than Jeff Beck. Jimmy Page, everybody's hero, even said Jeff Beck was better than him!

    Love your tribute and analogy of Jeff Beck. I started playing guitar at fifteen. I didn't play any of the popular tunes because I didn't have the ear to pick out the notes but spent my time jumping up and down the fretboard getting my fingering faster and faster with no actual framework, just feeling. My parents thought I was crazy. Although I never played in a band I recorded dozens of CD's with dubbing equipment over the years. I had a stand-up bass and my fingers were strong. Never was I comparable to Jeff or Alvin Lee but I believe Jeff had that wild engagement and abandon musically that set him apart from that fast food analogy you described earlier. He was the real deal. Hendrix, Lee, Beck and a handful of others.
