Jeff Beck at the warehouse in New Orleans , with Jan Hammer , simply the best , he was the most eloquent player ever, no one , I repeat , no one sounded like Jeff Beck , I've played guitar for 40 years , and his death made me weep ! God Bless the humble Master!
When I learned to play as a teenager in the 80's, I had my own style but I didn't have the confidence or a humble mentor to give me some good advice amongst the ego bullshit, hearing how Jeff Beck had completely his own style I thought to write to him just in case I have another life being mid 50's now, but unfortunately he has left the building, God bless you Jeff, you are completely awesome! ;D
I cried my eyes out when I heard of his passing. Thankful I had the opportunity to hear/see him live in Dallas in 2018. This interview was great to watch.
"If I fail my band will cover for me". That's crazy humble. In reality his own band members were in awe of him. You could see it in their faces during shows. They were constantly watching him with these expressions of joy and wonderment at what they were hearing and seeing. He was so much fun to watch. Beck knew he was adored. But he was too smart and decent to let it go to his head. Instead he stayed down to earth where he could focus on creating heavenly music and remain a true friend to all those who loved him.
There *was* that one time when Tal "covered" for Jeff after one of his amps failed by having him share her fretboard while she took a solo (which Jeff apparently appreciated so much that they added that "version" to future performances)...
Not really a Jeff Beck fan but obviously he was a phenomenal musician and the fact that he was so humble playing in Ronnie Scotts really says a lot about his character.
I have enjoyed so much of his music. Like many that reach his level he was a perfectionist - always looking to improve his shows so that fans that paid their hard earned money would have a good time.
I was lucky to meet Jeff at a launch event for his book. I had heard he could be "prickly" and he was nothing like that. He let me pose him, he mugged for the camera, and even went out onto Sunset Blvd. to wave at one of those tourist buses. Everyone was freaking out. Then he invited me in to sit and have a beer with him. Nice guy, huge loss.
He’s so adorable as well as so talented. What a professional man. Such a monumental loss to music and mankind that he has passed away. ❤🎶 RIP Jeff Beck
Even though his age of death is not shocking, the fact that he was still so active is what makes his passing very surprising. Tom petty, prince and Glenn Frey were extremely shocking, none of them were 70 yet. George Harrison had been so sick and not playing or making any albums (save for “Brainwashed”)
Yes, Jeff was so fit and our expectations for his future and our future to hear his next creations were so high. I saw him live in June and absolutely on top form… almost like a 20 year old.
Bowed out at his peak… we have only great and greatest moments to remember him by. In the Presence of Love now, Jesus has him close and we will see him again.
So modest and human in revealing his own insecurities - this from one of the greatest guitar players of all time. You can tell he has a great sense of humor and woud be a lot of fun to hang with.
In my book, Jeff Beck is one of the five great guitar players ever, and yet, he is so humble. All he wants to do is play well and send the audience home smiling. It is rare to hear a great player be so candid and honest about how hard it is to play in front of a discerning audience. Who would ever imagine Jeff Beck was that nervous about how he would sound, and how the audience would react. After all the years and so much acclaim, he still cares about doing his best. I am thrilled by his musicianship, but even more amazed by Jeff's attitude. So many of the folks from the 60s are dead, burnouts, or a**holes, but Beck seems to have learned the right lessons in life, and he seems to be comfortable in his own skin. That is not an easy thing when you spend most of your life being told how great you are. My hats off to Mr. Beck. Sorry to ramble. In real life, I am a journalist who has covered wars and politics for too many years. Music is my sanity.
This interview hit my queue at the right time. Trying to process Jeff's passing, hearing the man himself is massively helpful. What an awesome, regular bloke.
Watching him perform, listening to him talk about his perspective makes him more alive than so many other artists. They speak humility with their lips but not with their faces. This man is the real deal. Despite his passing, he's still with us in all this brilliant footage. I feel deeply for his wife.
His music is profound and deeply influential going back to the 1970's for me ,but with UA-cam and video his concerts became accessible, what I would have given to have been a fly 🪰 on the wall at Ronnie Scott's for that, this interview let's me see a simple yet complicated virtuoso who has a humble side and a deeply respectful side , he can be intimated by the possibility of a bad performance yet works so hard not to, it's been said by others on here there will be a void that will never be filled by anyone like him in our lifetime and I can only hope to hear him playing in his eternal life praying father God made a place for him to be with us all on the other side of the eternal through Jesus christ our lord.
I get it. I don't think we're alone. I've got to say not since John Lennon have I felt it like I do with Jeff Beck and even then . It's different. Maybe because I saw him a few times, front row and shared a laugh, I'm older, idk, but it's been over a month and while I listened to him almost every day before his death (smh) I certainly listen everyday now. I'm feeling heartbroken. I can't imagine what his wife is going thru and feeling. It's tragic all the way around 🤍🎸🕊️🎸🤍🎸
Was lucky enough to share a pint with him in Wardour Street about 1990, shared my love of the Yardbirds, he joked ' must sound a bit crap now', but was very humble and unassuming. Lesser talents could learn a lesson on being a gent.
It’s so gratifying that a musician of Mr. Beck’s caliber and uniqueness who is still so humble and still concerned with the music first and foremost, is here to show young musicians how to be a good person too.
I am rarely, if ever, impressed by 'interviews'....same questions and the same answers given with an almost mechanical display of sincerity and interest. This was a FANTASTIC interview with an almost vulnerable Jeff Beck that knocked me off my feet. Loved listening to the responses and his explanations. The depth of honesty of his answers an his conduct during the interview impressed the hell out of me. Great job.
All true, just an extraordinary talent only surpassed by his palpable humility, how do you get to be this good and so grounded in your place in the musical universe. Him talking about the pride in his band sums him up as a very special talent. Some times you do feel the sky has one less star in it.
I've been a Beck devotee for almost 60 years. I'm a guitarist who played professionally for many years. This interview is fantastic as it shows the true side of the world's most creative and innovative guitarist. And if you never saw Beck live then you missed something amazing. Alone on stage, he could capture an entire stadium for hours. What really got to me was when they played "Cause we ended as lovers". Tal!! OMG can this girl play, and Beck let her know it. It brings tears to my eyes.
As artists, we all fail, and as we reach for more, we fail more. In my work with artists across the spectrum I’ve observed that the best ones know how to fail. I know that might sound trite, but it is more meaningful than it might sound. When we miss a pitch we can either own the clam or turn it into chowder, sliding into the next note we know will fit. The greats do this so adroitly we can be excused for thinking they don’t screw up. It remains, at the end of the day, art.
Not only is Jeff Beck one of the greatest players to ever pick up the instrument, he is so self effacing. The kind of bloke you'd love to spend several evenings in the pub with, it's no wonder he gets such talent to work with him. Such a lovely sense of humour. That's Ronnies gig might be one of the finest musical performances ever captured.
I put together a playlist of my favorite Beck songs and played them weekly at work for years, what a talent and legacy. His interviews are equally good, a sense of humor that caught me off guard. A true legend gone, but he left a goldmine.
name another musician that has played this long, with the quality at which he has maintained and i'll show you another great musician. He is at the top of the food chain. In my humble opinion.
So grateful this show was recorded and so many people are discovering it now. Full Beck on display with this magnificent band. You can just keep discovering gem after gem in this man's career.
Jeff Beck is a genius and master of guitar. What else can you really say. And he's as intelligent and articulate with words as he is with his instrument.
Wow! Now I get it. I knew Jeff Beck was a brilliant musician… now I understand that he is a beautiful human being. Makes me feel hope for our species. Thank you Mr Beck. Thank you for this upload too!
Humble, funny, honest, gifted, soulful, technically amazing, just amazing. Been listening to Jeff for 40+ years. Just hope I get to see him one day. Thanks for the music Jeff!
I lost count of how many times I listened to this concert. Unbelievable show by the GREATEST guitar player EVER !!! add Tal, Vinnie & Jason ... it goes beyond description
Greatest gig I've ever seen him do. Wish I'd been there...like music from heaven....gives me chills... Pork Pie Hat makes me well up... unbelievable...love it!!! Mr Beck is amazing...
When I first saw the Ronnie Scotts performance I was astonished by the size of the venue versus the band's 'big' sound...I understand the misgivings Jeff had regarding the sound and I admire him for doing the gig. It's one of my favorite DVD's.
'Goodbye Pork Pie' from the Ronnie Scott performance is, without a doubt, the most captivating, prettiest, and expressive guitar work i've ever seen and heard. Just mind bending. Completely did stuff on a strat that I've never heard anyone do before, and it's just utterly entrancing. Some people slow down and lose a bit of their skills as they get older, but Jeff aged like a fine Scotch. The entire band has no weak links.
Can you imagine how many great guitarist are from that era? Beck, Clapton, Page, Blackmore, Gilmore. No wonder there will never be another decade like the 60s.
Amazing and humbling that JEFF BECK still gets nervous about a small intinate gig. he is refreshing to listen to , because I agree that is one of the best of the best ever!! and... i completely stumbled upon this gig and Tal Wilkenfeld, who is just a virtuoso, Prodigy.. to see her on stage with Vinnie and Jeff beck says it all... I LOVE these intimate gigs!!
All competent Guitarists I know are highly competitive…yet, Jeff Beck showed us the power of being ‘you’. He trusted his ear. He trusted himself. Learning his songs this past week, it’s just been so refreshing. It’s like he’s given me permission to just play and be interesting instead of perfect..
Just found this great interview with Jeff, what an interesting guy and what a fabulous guitarist, thanks for all the fantastic sounds you have given to us over the years Jeff and the wonderful performances by you and the band, one of the greatest losses to music, RIP Jeff, and we are still listening and still very much loving it.
Thank you for this amazing interview ❤️ Can't believe what a beautiful, humble, and talented artist Jeff is. So funny and graceful and also can't believe he builds his own custom cars!! This man is a genius ❤ Thank you Johnny Depp for introducing me to this incredible guitarist 🎸 Brilliant guitarist 🎸 ❤❤❤
Good that you have included the image of a guitar, otherwise I would have never understood what you were talking about when you mentioned "guitarist". And the hearts too... How old are you? Twelve?
I'm still so sad. I just saw him a couple months ago in Brown Co. Indiana. Otherworldly. Regular bloke does not even realize how unique and important he is in the guitar community . Truly an artist in the highest regard of the word. There will never be another Jeff Beck....God broke the mold on this guy. RIP .😪
Such a wonderful treasure and an idol for us all, he was ..he will NEVER be forgotten and what a blessing to have such a colorful interview with his VERY perceptive take on the way things went down. Love his expressions and terms used to describe his experiences. And how much more his musical expression was!! A loveable chap and an all-around stand-up guy...RIP Gov...
What I love about Jeff is his unpredictability in his music. From watching him and listening to his interviews, he can get bored fast, and when he throws in those great sonic blasts that leave you with your jaw dropping to your knees and thinking " I've never heard a sound come out of any guitar like that!" Just great!
Many people today recognize that Jeff Beck is a phenomenal composer and guitarist. However, old guitar players - like me - will remember multiple ... decades ... when we considered him to be perhaps the greatest guitarist's electric guitarist... who relatively few among the public knew even existed. It is astonishing that this guy has been blowing the minds of guitarists with his ability to write great stuff that is so incredibly, seamlessly - perfectly - supported by his phenomenal playing skills... for... over... 50 ... years. There have been many (albeit a very small percentage of all) guitarists who have come along. Jeff Beck has transcended greatness: He is among the handful who are legendary. And to think that between his two great interests, if only one is a passion, it is building hot rods. That would make the guitar... just his hobby. Jeff, on behalf of 99.9999% of guitarists everywhere..it just ain't fair.
Jeff's attitude to playing Ronnie's again perfectly summed up his approach to music and much of the reason his constant musical evolution over the decades; 'been there, done that'. He constantly searched for new sounds, new styles, new musicians-always breaking new ground. Bless him. What a legend. Long live Jeff Beck! 🎸
A great musician should also be a modest person with his craft foremost in his endeavors, and all for his audience, whoever and wherever they may be. His true craftsmanship thus is multiplied for all to see and hear. Jeff Beck personifies such a musician. And we are grateful he has given us so much over all these years. Thank you sir.
Jeff Beck at the warehouse in New Orleans , with Jan Hammer , simply the best , he was the most eloquent player ever, no one , I repeat , no one sounded like Jeff Beck , I've played guitar for 40 years , and his death made me weep ! God Bless the humble Master!

@Jonathan Rock Cause Jeff Beck was in dire need of more praise from the public.
Amen! Well said mate and spot on. Forever Beck! NA1974🇬🇧.
Not really a Jeff Beck fan but obviously he was a phenomenal musician and the fact that he was so humble playing in Ronnie Scotts really says a lot about his character.
I have enjoyed so much of his music. Like many that reach his level he was a perfectionist - always looking to improve his shows so that fans that paid their hard earned money would have a good time.
Jeff Beck was really something else, wasn’t he? He was Jeff Beck! ”Master of Touch and Tone on the electric guitar". RIP, Jeff!
I danced around jeff beck all my life, 57 here after ronnie scotts, i felt I wasted so much time getting here love this guy, with or without a guitar
I was lucky to meet Jeff at a launch event for his book. I had heard he could be "prickly" and he was nothing like that. He let me pose him, he mugged for the camera, and even went out onto Sunset Blvd. to wave at one of those tourist buses. Everyone was freaking out.

Crazy to think this legend was nervous before gigs. What a humble guy
Such a generous musician who allowed artists to take the floor
He’s so adorable as well as so talented. What a professional man. Such a monumental loss to music and mankind that he has passed away. ❤🎶 RIP Jeff Beck

+Wolff Bachner Excellently put! My sentiments exactly. Jeff is class itself.
+Wolff Bachner well said. I strongly agree.
100%, Tommy Emmanuel being another. They could both be described with your words.
Wolff, I agree with your comment 100%.
My top 5 are: Page, Clapton, Hendrix, Beck and Keith Richards.
You said it all properly.
A great man. A very genuine and down to earth individual. In a world of snobbish musicians, we need more of Jeff's caliber.
Great Mark i agree
Definitely
@@martinskalnins2448 Best electric guitarist.
A shy man for sure. Good guy I think. On Talking Book too. Go Jeff!
He truly is a very nice man. Very humble.
Just breaks my heart that he's gone. Still can't believe it. What a loss. Love you Jeff and thank you for everything you gave us.
This interview hit my queue at the right time. Trying to process Jeff's passing, hearing the man himself is massively helpful. What an awesome, regular bloke.
I feel the same. So lovely to hear him chat away, and in such a down to earth vibe - says much about the man. 🎸🎶❤️
He's like any otehr regular guy just being his usual normal self and such a sincere man.
Watching him perform, listening to him talk about his perspective makes him more alive than so many other artists. They speak humility with their lips but not with their faces.

A true original and guitar legend. This one stings. RIP Jeff Beck. You will be missed 🙏
I haven’t been so impacted by the death of a guitarist like this since the passing of SRV . Jeff was irreplaceable..
I get it. I don't think we're alone. I've got to say not since John Lennon have I felt it like I do with Jeff Beck and even then . It's different. Maybe because I saw him a few times, front row and shared a laugh, I'm older, idk, but it's been over a month and while I listened to him almost every day before his death (smh) I certainly listen everyday now.

Last one for me was van Halen.
LOVELY interview...LOVELY Man
By far the greatest guitar player that will ever be.
I couldn't agree more!
In your opinion, of course. I figured that you forgot to mention that in your post.
indeed
How do u think he compares to Satriani? He reminds me of satriani. Very similar people
@@SuperLuckao
Why compare?
It’s two different players in both style and technic.
Love hearing Jeff such a genius guitar player. 🎶🎸🎵🎸🌹💚✨🖤🫶🏽♥️💜🤍😇🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🙏🙏Anni
As long as Jeff was alive us older players had a chance to keep Playing,now with Jeff gone it's so depressing hard to continue rip Jeff.
humble genius the ultimate Maverick , so sad to lose so much
I truly love Jeff's Ronnie Scott recordings, lovely sound lovely band
Is there more? It just ended. Still devastated by his passing and seeing this is just so comforting.
How humble is he? Just unimaginable that someone with his talent, craft and skill could be so self effacing. RIP great man.
Was lucky enough to share a pint with him in Wardour Street about 1990, shared my love of the Yardbirds, he joked ' must sound a bit crap now', but was very humble and unassuming. Lesser talents could learn a lesson on being a gent.
Sweet, humble, funny and massive musical talent. We won't be seeing the likes of Jeff Beck again. RIP, Master B.
It’s so gratifying that a musician of Mr. Beck’s caliber and uniqueness who is still so humble and still concerned with the music first and foremost, is here to show young musicians how to be a good person too.
The difference between rockstars and musicians
I really miss Jeff. I miss his presence in this world.
The best interview by miles. A self deprecating genius of a player who probably still doesn't realize how great he is.
Yes he's extremely modest. So nice to see
He reminds me a lot of Jerry Reed. Jerry never knew how great a guitarist he was either.
Jeff is a top 10 guitar player of all-time. Most of you have likely never heard of him, but trust me, he is top 10.
I am rarely, if ever, impressed by 'interviews'....same questions and the same answers given with an almost mechanical display of sincerity and interest. This was a FANTASTIC interview with an almost vulnerable Jeff Beck that knocked me off my feet. Loved listening to the responses and his explanations. The depth of honesty of his answers an his conduct during the interview impressed the hell out of me. Great job.
All true, just an extraordinary talent only surpassed by his palpable humility, how do you get to be this good and so grounded in your place in the musical universe.
Him talking about the pride in his band sums him up as a very special talent.
Some times you do feel the sky has one less star in it.
True searcher in sonic musical noises,, just to this legend still a ball of nerves prove how much he n enjoy cares about stage time,, RIP JB
I've been a Beck devotee for almost 60 years. I'm a guitarist who played professionally for many years.

His humility is extraordinary in this interview. God bless him and rest his soul.
So humble OMG the best live concert I own! 🙏🏽
The World owes so much to the sax player that got Jeff to play Ronnie Scott's, Its a masterclass that will inspire for decades!
Not only is Jeff Beck one of the greatest players to ever pick up the instrument, he is so self effacing. The kind of bloke you'd love to spend several evenings in the pub with, it's no wonder he gets such talent to work with him. Such a lovely sense of humour. That's Ronnies gig might be one of the finest musical performances ever captured.
an absolute bloody genius he will be badly missed in a world of mundane music and he was such a humble guy just cant believe hes gone RIP mate
Excellent! He used to live in Kent for years. Loved a pint in the local! Super guy and possibly the best guitar player ever!
This is why I love Jeff beck so much. So humble and so human, although he is, for me, one of the greatest guitarists ever. Great video.
Always felt something really special, authentic yet humble, he absolutely cares
I put together a playlist of my favorite Beck songs and played them weekly at work for years, what a talent and legacy. His interviews are equally good, a sense of humor that caught me off guard. A true legend gone, but he left a goldmine.
Humility in a star is hard to find, Bless you Jeff for the decency you showed to your bandmates and your audiences. RIP son
name another musician that has played this long, with the quality at which he has maintained and i'll show you another great musician. He is at the top of the food chain. In my humble opinion.
What a humble genius, RIP Jeff! So grateful for your amazing career, you will never be forgotten~
So grateful this show was recorded and so many people are discovering it now. Full Beck on display with this magnificent band. You can just keep discovering gem after gem in this man's career.
Nice to see you chap ..
Jeff Beck + Jimmy Page 🔥❤️
What I liked is his unselfishness in handing out praise for others. The genuine manner he presents about music.
R.I.P. dear Jeff. An infinite loss to the world of us mortals. Your music as your notes always flying in the Ether from and to forever.
Jeff Beck is a genius and master of guitar. What else can you really say. And he's as intelligent and articulate with words as he is with his instrument.
The guitarist's guitarist. A huge influence on so many.
Led Zep' first album is basically all Jeff Beck', Jeff didn't talk to Page for years he was so pissed off.
Exactly. Amen brother
Jeff Beck and Rory Gallagher, the two best guitarists that has walked on this planet.
Beck is so unique, no one could play like him.
Wow! Now I get it. I knew Jeff Beck was a brilliant musician… now I understand that he is a beautiful human being. Makes me feel hope for our species. Thank you Mr Beck. Thank you for this upload too!
Rest in Peace, Jeff. Thanks for sharing your gift with the rest of us.
Humble, funny, honest, gifted, soulful, technically amazing, just amazing. Been listening to Jeff for 40+ years. Just hope I get to see him one day. Thanks for the music Jeff!
In brings me to tears seeing this, such a humble gentleman, and a genius
I lost count of how many times I listened to this concert. Unbelievable show by the GREATEST guitar player EVER !!! add Tal, Vinnie & Jason ... it goes beyond description
the world would be a better place with more people like Jeff Beck - what an attitude - what music - and the guy is funny to boot - tnx' for upload **
What a genuinely nice guy, I’m so sad that he’s not around anymore, so hard working and humble 🎸😢
What a modest and down-to-earth genius!
I'm particularly grateful that he gave Tal a chance - and I bet he has never regretted it. :)
Greatest gig I've ever seen him do. Wish I'd been there...like music from heaven....gives me chills... Pork Pie Hat makes me well up... unbelievable...love it!!! Mr Beck is amazing...
What a truly amazing talent....humble, gracious and so very charming. A musical gift to us all and genius in every respect. Rest in peace
When I first saw the Ronnie Scotts performance I was astonished by the size of the venue versus the band's 'big' sound...I understand the misgivings Jeff had regarding the sound and I admire him for doing the gig. It's one of my favorite DVD's.
Jeff is probably the best guitarist of all the old school players from the 60s and as good as anyone since!
I agree!
True . Jeff Beck is one of a kind and the best 🎸🎶🎵.
Excellent - the best left of the 60s guys- no one near him now- he’s still on fire
Jeff is totally unique
After Hendrix.
'Goodbye Pork Pie' from the Ronnie Scott performance is, without a doubt, the most captivating, prettiest, and expressive guitar work i've ever seen and heard. Just mind bending. Completely did stuff on a strat that I've never heard anyone do before, and it's just utterly entrancing. Some people slow down and lose a bit of their skills as they get older, but Jeff aged like a fine Scotch. The entire band has no weak links.
moves me to tears to be honest
" ..aged like a fine Scotch..."
Perfectly said!
@@kodowdus RIP to the Legend Jeff Beck 🤝🏼
Can you imagine how many great guitarist are from that era? Beck, Clapton, Page, Blackmore, Gilmore. No wonder there will never be another decade like the 60s.
This was one of the best, ever, of live recordings I ever watched.
Amazing and humbling that JEFF BECK still gets nervous about a small intinate gig. he is refreshing to listen to , because I agree that is one of the best of the best ever!! and... i completely stumbled upon this gig and Tal Wilkenfeld, who is just a virtuoso, Prodigy.. to see her on stage with Vinnie and Jeff beck says it all... I LOVE these intimate gigs!!
A humble, beautiful person and amazing artist. Undeniably.
You are right. We need a lot more like him in music today. Jeff thank you for your unforgettable music.
The reality is that he is all too human with all of the flaws that would suggest. Amazing guitarist though.
What a man. What a musician. The world is a better, more beautiful place for your having lived. Thank you Jeff.
One of our best guitar players, and a great bloke.
Everyone covers other players but who can cover Jeff? A truly inspirational Player!
It would be impossible to cover him. His personality, his voice, was his music.
The guitarist who can copy Jeff hasn't been born yet. And never will be.
All competent Guitarists I know are highly competitive…yet, Jeff Beck showed us the power of being ‘you’.
He trusted his ear. He trusted himself. Learning his songs this past week, it’s just been so refreshing. It’s like he’s given me permission to just play and be interesting instead of perfect..
Just found this great interview with Jeff, what an interesting guy and what a fabulous guitarist, thanks for all the fantastic sounds you have given to us over the years Jeff and the wonderful performances by you and the band, one of the greatest losses to music, RIP Jeff, and we are still listening and still very much loving it.
A unique musician!
I love how he discovered Tal through Vinny.
She was always such a great part of the band.
One of the greatest interviews ever!
I just started listening to Jeff beck a couple years ago. What a fuckin treat......to get to go through all his music. What an original guitarist
just Awesom!
Very modest. Very brilliant.
Without Beck we'd have no Steve vai, no satriani and worst of all..... No Nigel Tuffnel.. No don't even touch it
@@youngandrew66 Have always thought Nigel Tuffnel must've been based on Beck. Satriani I could well do without.
I listen to Where Were You with tears in my eyes. Transcendent beauty from an absolute master. Rest in Peace.
He’s blown me away. Always knew he was good but this gig just mesmerised me.
He’s now my new favourite guitarist ever. 😜
Phenomenal.
Yes by eß amazing. I'm getting hi. Confused with satriani though. Their playing is similarly unique.
Agreed
Thank you for this amazing interview ❤️ Can't believe what a beautiful, humble, and talented artist Jeff is. So funny and graceful and also can't believe he builds his own custom cars!! This man is a genius ❤ Thank you Johnny Depp for introducing me to this incredible guitarist 🎸 Brilliant guitarist 🎸 ❤❤❤
Thank you Yardbirds!
Good that you have included the image of a guitar, otherwise I would have never understood what you were talking about when you mentioned "guitarist". And the hearts too... How old are you? Twelve?
Miss this man's talent... Really feel for his felow muso's - esp Tal!
I'm still so sad. I just saw him a couple months ago in Brown Co. Indiana. Otherworldly. Regular bloke does not even realize how unique and important he is in the guitar community . Truly an artist in the highest regard of the word. There will never be another Jeff Beck....God broke the mold on this guy. RIP .😪
Bless the UK for producing a whole lot of amazing guitarists.
Such a wonderful treasure and an idol for us all, he was ..he will NEVER be forgotten and what a blessing to have such a colorful interview with his VERY perceptive take on the way things went down. Love his expressions and terms used to describe his experiences. And how much more his musical expression was!! A loveable chap and an all-around stand-up guy...RIP Gov...
Jeff, huge talented angel with a massive heart 'n soul.
Pea Ua Ma agree , he’s a sweetheart
Jeff is totally real, just watching and listening to this interview confirms that, he is an improvisor, and a musician. Great bloke.
All very incredible musicians. Sadly we will all miss Mr Jeff Beck.
Great. lt really jollied me up. Gotta love Jeff Beck. Such a cool cat.
What I love about Jeff is his unpredictability in his music. From watching him and listening to his interviews, he can get bored fast, and when he throws in those great sonic blasts that leave you with your jaw dropping to your knees and thinking " I've never heard a sound come out of any guitar like that!" Just great!
so humble this man wow he's the most inclusive musician in the world ...such a hard worker bless his heart
Many people today recognize that Jeff Beck is a phenomenal composer and guitarist. However, old guitar players - like me - will remember multiple ... decades ... when we considered him to be perhaps the greatest guitarist's electric guitarist... who relatively few among the public knew even existed.
It is astonishing that this guy has been blowing the minds of guitarists with his ability to write great stuff that is so incredibly, seamlessly - perfectly - supported by his phenomenal playing skills... for... over... 50 ... years.
There have been many (albeit a very small percentage of all) guitarists who have come along. Jeff Beck has transcended greatness: He is among the handful who are legendary. And to think that between his two great interests, if only one is a passion, it is building hot rods. That would make the guitar... just his hobby.
Jeff, on behalf of 99.9999% of guitarists everywhere..it just ain't fair.
Still missing Jeff-One of One.
A Master Class right there in under 25 minutes. Wow!
Omg i love jeff beck forever
Oh. Beck. Beck, Beck-o-laa-laa. Thank you for this interview! AWESOMENESS!! Thank you for your ingenious artistry. Never get weary of you!
Jeff's attitude to playing Ronnie's again perfectly summed up his approach to music and much of the reason his constant musical evolution over the decades; 'been there, done that'.
He constantly searched for new sounds, new styles, new musicians-always breaking new ground. Bless him. What a legend. Long live Jeff Beck! 🎸
A great musician should also be a modest person with his craft foremost in his endeavors, and all for his audience, whoever and wherever they may be. His true craftsmanship thus is multiplied for all to see and hear. Jeff Beck personifies such a musician. And we are grateful he has given us so much over all these years. Thank you sir.
