You are right. And it’s all the more remarkable that a guitar is a ‘mean tempered’ instrument, meaning it is equally out of tune in all keys. It’s very hard to work around this with bends and varying finger pressure though easier with ‘fat frets’. I don’t think Beck can be classed as an ‘influential guitarist’ because he is not copy-able
@@ClarenceHW The Ronnie Scott’s performance is probably his best ever, but his playing in Japan is about equal and before a tremendously appreciative audience. I really can’t find adequate words of admiration
@@stephensmith799 A pity these words of praise were not said and shouted from the biggest mountains a long time ago in Great Britain;- for America and Japan were his biggest fans! His own country hardly noticed it seems. Cynthia Allen McLaglen
Dear Jeff. I'm so sorry that I didn't discover your music when you were still with us. You were truly a one-of-a-kind genius that could express so much feeling with your playing. I wish I could have seen you live. Now I have to do with all the amazing videos recorded with you. RIP
The one and only guitar player. He is the greatest player to explore all the possibilities that the electric guitar could hold, and a pioneer of astonishing virtuosity. My life has been with his innovative music for nearly a half-century. Deepest salute to him. Overflowing with love and gratitude for him. So lonely and my heart is crushed. I don't know what to do. Miss you , Jeff… I have nothing but gratitude for him. Love you Jeff…
I'm a mess listening to this then read your comment and it started again. I am still heartbroken. I met Jeff Oct.2022. He was gone 3 months to the day later. A Piece of me is missing. He was the one and only. A league of his own.
Only just heard this... Moved to tears. Dear God how was this even possible? Thank you britva817 for putting this here, and thank you Jeff, I think Mahler would have approved.
His touch and sense intonation is flawless. We were lucky to have him in our time. Rest well, Mr. Beck. Looking forward to what you and Jimi play together.
Jeff said he used to love listening to classical music growing up at home. This is such a beautiful collaboration! It must have been a fulfillment for him and a special treat for the orchestra. Sublime!
His mother was classically trained, and so he was influenced by serious music and wanted to use new invented sounds and ways of creating it, and he succeeded fantastically! Good on you Jeff Beck!! Cynthia Allen McLaglen
This link is to a violin piece, Women of Ireland, part of Sharon Corr's repertoire. I saw Jeff play this on a Stratocaster. Impossible I was told. Well I saw it. And here is a recording made in Moscow. Can you hear the talking in the crowd? No. No-one even breathed let alone moved. Enjoy. ua-cam.com/video/bor7JuHN_qY/v-deo.html
This isn't Yngwie shredding through Flight Of The Bumblebee is it. Jeff Beck is the real deal. When you look at his body of work, "Over,Under,Sideways,Down" to "I Ain't Superstitious" to "Cause We've Ended As Lovers" to this, and everything else in between. Simply the greatest rock guitar player ever.
I'm glad to find someone close to my feelings about the Guv'nor. For me, Hendrix is 1, with Beck a close second. My own playing is heavily heavily influenced by JB. Even my mom, who isn't a musician, says the same thing. Beck is beyond all human comprehension- he is THAT good.
@freedomisnocrime Check out Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scott's. It's on UA-cam. Be sure and watch all of it!! Beck's expertise at utilizing the vibrato bar is beyond anything Leo Fender coulda ever concieved. The last song, "Where Were You," is incredible- it's made up almost entirely of harmonics with the vibrato bar. I agree- Rory was a great bluesman and Roy Gallagher (who was a big influence on JB) is just outta this world.
@freedomisnocrime I actually dig some fusion but I completely understand why lots of folks don't. I'm selective- diMeola is a fairly boring electric guitarist. His flamenco stuff is good. I'm a McLaughlin fan- not only Mahavishnu but also Shakti, which is more like Hindu classical music. Late 70s fusion is not much better than Muzak!! Playing fast is all fine and good but what's important is whether or not you're actually SAYING anything. The Becks and Buchanans of the world are using actual words as opposed to electric diMeola- that shit's just gibberish. I'm a musical all rounder- I dig most any genre as long as the artist is naturally unique. I can rip through scales but if I'm just doing that then I'm not being especially musical. It's more like "you bastards should like me because I practice everyday" and that's arrogant as hell- and many of the virtuosi you mentioned seem to have that attitude. And bluegrass fiddle is extra extra good, friend. I'm a bluegrass person (mainly the guitar side, the Doc Watsons of the world)- there's this chick called Molly Tuttle who is as fine a picker and grinner as I've ever heard. You oughta give her a listen, if you haven't already.

Breathtakingly beautiful a true master at work I can’t think of another guitarist even getting close to this , I really don’t know or understand how Rolling Stone had him at no14 in the top 100 guitarist 🤷♂️ A true original who I don’t believe we shall see the likes of again but thanks for the music Jeff Beck
I don't think he was trying to rival the original, just honour it and enjoy doing a version of it - this is why people cover things - I think it is great that he is prepared to step out of his comfort zone and try to experiment with a classical piece in this way - the end result is quite powerful and reveals his wide and deep musical gift
Oh my God..... What an amazing rendering by the great Musician.... Jeff Beck.... A haunting music by Mahler... Thank God for all these wonderful creations....
MAGNIFICENT!! I have been a Jeff Beck fan since the Yardbirds back in the sixties. Saw him with Jeff Beck Group in Boston in the seventies, and again on my birthday in Spokane in the nineties. What a great soul this man has, immortal....
I did in fact ask him at a "Meet and Greet" session, because i´we heard this version above. And I discovvered this Mahler peace in the movie "Dead in Vennice" from 1971, and thougth is was a clear one for Jeff Beck to doo. He told med that he wasn´t fully satified with it, but... maby it will come on the next album. The next album however, became "Loud Hailer", so I fear thar it probberbly would newer come put. Jeff heard the peace on a classic radio station while fixing one off his hot rods.
there's a whole cd's worth of classical he did with this orchestra at the same time as this. This got out by mistake and Jeff wasn't happy. I doubt we'll ever hear the rest.
@@jeffthelyon I suspect we will eventually hear these pieces. Survivors of the great musicians have a way of trying to monetize unreleased recordings. Sometimes there's a lot of crap (even in Hendrix's posthumous releases) but I don't think Jeff's unreleased stuff will be crap.
God bless you, Jeff Beck! And he did bless you with the gift of taking any sort of music and making it sing through your guitar. You will not be forgotten!
TRULY A MASTER OF THE GUITAR,HOW SAD THAT HE HAD TO LEAVE! BUT HE LEFT US ,All THIS GREAT MUSIC AND HIS GOOD NATURE TO REMEMBER HIM BY🎸🎼🎶👍😎.R.I.P.JEFF🎸❤️
I do agree with Ronnie Guitar, jeff beck is the greates rock guitar player ever. And i add not only rock, he played and plays anykind of possible great music with his magical style taste choice of notes and the best tone ever. He is the greatest Maestro of Rock. I play the guitar and very humble I listen the Maestro Jeff Beck to have good time and be inspired by his music and talent. Grazie Jeff you make all of us dream
I imagine the classical composers who wrote these works hearing them played like this on an instrument they couldn't begin to imagine. I wish we could see and hear there reactions to this modern master
There are several comments re: why this hasn't appeared on record etc. My understanding is that Jeff recorded some classical tunes that were presented to a record company (Deutsch Gramophone?) to gauge interest. There was interest, though I believe Jeff didn't feel ready to commit to the project. There was to have been a concert of him with the London Symphony Orchestra but that didn't pan out due to a shortage of preparation time. Hopefully he'll take a break at some point and dig into this idea.

In the end he was able to bring out this side of himself and enrich his own music with it, as he understood and loved all kinds of music from all over the world.

Nobody else has Jeff’s control of volume and whammy bar, which two things allow him to play like this. Amazing emotional and musical interpretation of a magnificent piece of music. Bravo.

You are right. And it’s all the more remarkable that a guitar is a ‘mean tempered’ instrument, meaning it is equally out of tune in all keys.

Only Jeff Beck can play a classic piece of such unique poignant beauty in a manner worthy of the original.
Totally agree. One of the greatest compositions performed by one of the greatest players!!!😢❤
I think Richie Blackmore was also capable. He had a classical background as well. I can't think of any others though.
His touch and sense intonation is flawless. We were lucky to have him in our time. Rest well, Mr. Beck. Looking forward to what you and Jimi play together.

I'm a huge Jeff Beck and Mahler fan. What a gorgeous combination, he's the only guitar player who could do this convincingly.

He made his guitar sound like a violin..soo sooo beautiful..so sensitive..perfect notes
Since I was 16 and in High School, heard Freeway Jam. Never stopped listening to Beck. Jeff does things that no one can figure out. A guitar god.
Genius. Nobody comes close!
GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER .... EVER !!!!!!
It’s been said that the violin is the closest instrument to the human voice. Jeff makes it cry and sing, all at once.
He was no Guitar George, that's for sure. 😀
There simply aren't words to put into perspective the incredible feeling, emotion, majesty of this performance. Is this Jeff's finest ?
Wow Jeff, very unusual indeed! Lovely to hear. You can hear this from Heaven, standing on a cloud, AS IT SOUNDS HEAVENLY! Cynthia Allen McLaglen

Beck and Mahler: a match made in heaven.
I just wish I could see him playing this. Watching his mastery of the guitar is breathtaking.
Agree with you, Jeff's talent allows him to play classical music saving it's original beauty. Great master, one of a kind.
This totally needs to be released. Beautiful. It might be fair to say he can do more with one note than any other electric guitarist ever.
Unbelievable. Incredible. Thank You Jeff Beck.
