- Jeff Beck was one of the leading session guitarists in the UK before finding fame, replacing Eric Clapton in The Yardbirds. Working alongside Jimmy Page (who would go on to form Led Zeppelin of course) Jeff's guitar ability reached a whole new audience. His bandmate in The Yardbirds, Jim McCarty, tells the story of how Jeff came to replace Clapton in the group and what working with Jeff was like.
Also in this video you'll hear from Jeff's bandmate in the short-lived project, Beck, Bogert, Appice. Carmine Appice recalls the story of how it took Led Zeppelin's John Bonham to ask Carmine and Tim Bogert to jam with Jeff!
The full interviews with these legendary musicians can be found on the VRP Rocks podcast.
I’m 69 yrs old.. the Beatles woke me up in mid sixties..Yardbirds..Cream..British invasion really spoke to me…Jeff Beck stood out to me from the beginning..I’m digging out my old albums…RIP..JB…sad days..
I'm a metal player and Jeff Beck is in a league of his own. 🙏
Jeff Beck is up there with Hendrix.
All others are also-rans.
Troll Hendrix was never even up there..
Godspeed Jeff Beck
Jeff is my all time favorite guitarist and I was lucky to work with him a couple of times when he had the Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Woods. I’ve seen him play a bunch of times since. There is no other like him IMHO and I, like many, am truly heartbroken and devastated. 😞
What fabulous memories you must have of working with him, Scott!
I have the album Beckola, definitely one of my favourite albums!
Your a lucky man !to have met him
He was a one of a kind Genius Virtuoso who spanned genres and generations with music like no other could play or arrange..
Proper tragic and unexpected loss for every music fan.. Admired and respected by all his peers he was at the top of the tree with Clapton and Page and those guys back then and he had ALL his virtuosity right up until his untimely passing.. The angels will be playing Guitars not Harps this time and he can teach em a thing or two im sure!
God Bless Jeff Beck and RIP. (Rock in Paradise!) 😔💔🎸🏴🇬🇧✝️🙏
It gets us all in the end
RIP Jeff Beck
For me, he was the quintessential rock guitarist. He had the look, God knows he had the chops and he was fearless about doing what he thought was best instead of staying mainstream. I cried like a baby when I learned of his passing. He was force since the late 60s.
God may have his soul but we have his music, and that;s enough for me. I shall miss him dearly. Fly on sweet angel.
Goodbye friend. 😔😔 The world has lost a great human being who, in addition to being an exceptional guitarist, was a kind human being, very polite to me and everyone who had the blessing of meeting him. Rest in peace left millions of admirers sad. My condolences to family and friends you were a genius! An admirable human being, sensitive in his chords. Thank God I met you 3 times. See you next time Together with the Eternal where you are. Amen 🙏 🙏
You were very lucky to meet him! It's a sad loss for the musical world.
He supported a cat charity founded by a former girlfriend.💙🎶🎵🎶
Greatest Guitarist of all time. GOAT RIP Jeff RIP thank you for all your strums.
@Coogan Well, yeah true!
@coogan8825 wrong, they were contemporaries 50 years ago, Jeff arguably better then with his Yardbirds work, the figure in Over Under Sideways Down better than anything Jimi ever recorded, but 50 more years on of innovative mastery...no, that's a nonsensical Rolling Stone myth not supported by any professional guitarist worth his salt. No hate against Jimi, I love his work, but it's not comparable 50 years later, no way.
@coogan8825 lol, Jeff was always the nicest guy when talking about other guitarists, you're deluded by the Myth, over played professionally for 40 years, anyone can cover Hendrix, nobody can replicate Jeff's technique, live in your ignorance dunce cap.
@coogan8825 hilariously ignorant, Blow by Blow, Wired, There and Back, Who Else, Guitar Shop, You Had it coming, no comparison, Jimi was a singer with a guitar and he could play it well, Jeff was the best to ever pick one up and it's absolutely ridiculous to even compare a guy that died 50 years ago with the Master Alchemist of Guitar.
@coogan8825 your hero wouldn't make a professional guitarists top 20, I know I've been one for 40 years, covering Hendrix was never difficult, covering Beck is impossible. LMAO at your ignorance, The Rolling Stone Myth is laughable, perpetuated by non guitarists.
The Yardbirds, wow the soundtrack of my teen years. Always loved Jeff Beck's sound, RIP
This is so heartbreaking. Jeff was a mighty genius of guitar playing. I loved the Yardbirds from the 60’s and have always admired and loved Jeff Beck. What a huge loss to the music world. We will never forget you Jeff, we can still listen to your awesome music. Thanks for bringing joy through your music to millions.
As a kid when I dropped the needle on blow by blow I've been a huge fan, so glad I saw his mastery live. Thanks JB you were ahead of your time and stayed true to yourself.
Nice memories to hear about our Jeff Beck
It's time to revisit those fantastic Yardbirds albums. His guitar work was ahead of all the players.
Thanks for this. Music will never be the same since he arrived on the scene.
He was absolutely one of a kind wasn't he! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Sure would love to hear the recordings Carmine Appice talks about!
Been following him for over 50 years. This is a tough one to take. Just watched his tribute to les Paul with Amelda may last week.
Ronnie Scott's just before that.
The BBA Live in Japan album is so friggin' SICK. Carmine's playing is off the chain, Jeff Beck sounds better on this album than ever, and Tim is tearing up the bass like a maniac.
One of my all time favorites!
I'm heartbroken I grew up in the sixties. Seen him in 76 in the kingdome in Seattle great show followed him through the years, sad, RIP Mr. Beck.
Been a yardbirds fan for over 40 years. Rip Jeff a guitar genius
I LOVED HIM
Jeff ❤
Got to see him five times.
Inspired every band I've been in since 1980, still love the Yardbirds and he bought me a pint and when he walked up to the bar in St Moritz club , London. Still cant believe he's gone.
I think Jeff should have been inducted in the Rock HOF more than twice & sooner than he was. R.I.P. Jeff
.. my first album of Jeff Beck was the live with Jan Hammer .. blew my mind .. Jimi and Janis were long gone and I thought then this is it, Jeff Beck is my new hero
Thanks for taking the time. Cool reflections on Jeff and his former colleagues thank you ✌️
The WORLDS GUITAR GOD,rip jb, the world will miss u!! WE LOVE YOU!! john and raebelle.
I have seen Jeff over 30 times and never disappointed. The notes he played will never be played correctly again. Jeff hopefully we will meet again.
👍🇬🇧❤JEFF'S THE BEST 🎸❤GOD ❤BLESS RIP XOXOXOX
I was fortunate to see Jeff Beck in November 2022 in Las Vegas. I figured it might be the last chance to see him. Even at 78, he was a virtuoso on the guitar. One of a kind.
R.I.P. Jeff Beck. He and Tommy Bolin are my top 2 favorite guitarists. It's not right that they are gone, but that's life, as sucky as it is sometimes. J.I.P. (Jam In Peace) boys.

He was English
As far as we were concerned, The Yardbirds were it in our Detroit neighborhood. I remember having that logo scrawled on my Jr. HS desk and notebooks. LOL
Jeff Beck was a Brilliant Guitarist. Saw Him in 1980. In Portland. He was a great. To Bad He never surrendered His Talent to the God that Gave Him the ability. We are here for short time then Gone. God Almighty s will is that His creature would fear Him and love Him. About five years after seeing Beck I was in a Bar. Drinking Listening to a local Guitar hero. And I saw I was slave to drugs sex and Rock and roll. I wanted freedom I cried out to the Lord Jesus and He delivered me broke my chains set me free. Gave me Brand new Heart that loved Rightousness. Obedience thirty seven years ago .ye must be Bornagain. Enless u be Bornagain you can't see the Kingdom of God. God have Mercy on Jeff. Only through The Lord Jesus can u be Saved.
One of the very best! His abilities eclipsed all his English contemporaries. Clapton and Page couldn't hold a candle to Jeff.
He would have said you're exaggerating.
One of.a kind, trully. Rip Jeff
I am just going to pretend he is still alive.
Well his music will live on forever as cliche as that sounds
Legend
TRES Cool, Mr, Beck
Jeff ❤
why weren't the Yardbirds bigger than they were.
Incredible to think of the legends within that band, isn't it!
In the mid 60's they were very popular. However, their sound was not every ones taste in popular music at that time ! Particularly if the radio stations were generally promoting a more varied 'pop' sound. Imagine if The Yardbirds had not broken up, there may have been no Led Zepplin. Check this clip out ! ua-cam.com/video/uHWQtRjGHgo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=RalphDWonderllama
@Coogan Agree ! However, This was the case for many bands at that time !
They damn well should be, from Blues to experimental, discovered them in 1980 when i was 18 and influenced every band i was in.
Crappy management and the world wanted three minute singles. Roger The Engineer and Little Games were their only albums made AS albums. For Your Love and Having A Rave Up were collections of Eric and Jeff tracks run side by side. In fairness most bands LPs of the time were collections of singles and filler. Rubber Soul,Highway 61, were albums. The Yardbirds made tracks that were collected and made into albums.
Jeff was near Hendrix and Clapton.
👍👍
Cool stuff. Audio not so clear unfortunately but appreciate the effort
Maser Craftsman, he could play anything the others could play but they couldn't do what he could do
Who did johnny depp play with?
Why don't you put he names under these guys?
Hi Dean, hope you are well. Both names were said within the first 60 seconds of the video and Carmine Appice's name, his logo, is on the top right of the screen when he's on. If you didnt get the other name it was Yardbirds ever present member Jim McCarty. Have a great day!
Everyone wanted to sound like Beck but they gave up after 5 minutes.
Compare Carmine Apice's story with the Metallica story of the bass disappearing on ...And Justice for All. Jeff Beck.... Stand up person and amazing guitarist. Lars Ulrich..... POS
Greatest Guitarist of all time.
I love em both, but I'm gonna give Beck the edge.
@coogan8825 maybe I should.
@coogan8825 thanks for the advice, I've listened to everything hendrix has played, top to bottom, I love hendrix, we'll agree to disagree. As far as I'm concerned this is a close one for me.
this was lovely
I played rhythm guitar with Jeff Beck for a few months in the late 80's and he taught me a few things. I taught him a few things about bending the G string. We got along well.
Wow that's very cool Martin!!
