- Catch the second half of host Barry Meguiar 's rare interview with legendary rock guitarist icon Jeff Beck. As Jeff takes us through his stable of American Hot Rods, at his historic home in England, it becomes obvious that he is as passionate about cars as he is for his music.
Episode 11021
Hard to believe he's gone.....such a genuine human being.
It came as a real shock. He was n such great condition despite his age. An incredible musician and a top bloke. My condolences to his wife Sandra and all his friends and family. So sad
This was the first I heard of it. I mean we all have it coming but this is shocking. Gonna take some time to process. God bless you guys, and ladies
@@kas1755 best wishes m8, love from the UK 🇬🇧
His passing is going to leave such a hole in this world. My condolences to his family and friends.
He gave so much to all of us, I feel Blessed to have lived during the time he was here with us.
Knowing he worked on his own cars and was worried about his welding skills just blows me away.
God Bless everyone.
I feel such a fool. All that time I could have taken an interest in Jeff Beck. I just didn't know how brilliant, and how lovely he was. What a guy
I love Everything about Jeff Beck, he will be missed Immensely.
RIP Jeff Beck
Why do we keep losing the good ones? Jeff is such a legend and was a kind soul. What a terrible loss.
Hey my friend, we're getting old. They're getting old.We're unfortunately going to see more and more of our memories pass on. It's part of life. My entire family is gone. I always thought I wouldn't make it to 25. I'm 64. Mom,dad,sister brother. All dead. Life's cruel. Clayton's out lived all his buddies. Imagine how he feels at times.
JEFF Is SUCH A GENTLEMAN! RIP
JEFF BECK IS TRULY THE NICEST PERSON IN THE WORLD SO SMART SO WELL SPOKEN, READ MULTI-TALENTED
Watching this and thinking about what a focused life spent working on cars and playing guitar means, I think it explains why Jeff Beck has lasted longer and has more life behind his work than his contemporaries.
He's not spending days partying with people whom he doesn't care about, and he's not lording his money and ego around in order to pretend he's a big shot or gather exaggerated acclaim, and he isn't trying to hide away to avoid 'regular' folks and fans.
Beck is just do focused and driven on his interests that he can't be bothered to waste his time on frivolous pursuits. He is himself 24/7, and that's why his music is always solid, if nothing else.
yeah, nice frame
Well said
I would agree that’s probably right
One of the best interviews ever. Jeff was such a nice guy.
A genius and so warm and likable. RIP.
Apparently he had a close call just before the Garage album . During an engine install, he smashed his hand between the frame & motor. Had a long recovery. Finished the car then the album and plays great guitar after rehab for dexterity.
Jeff Beck is a legend!
Jeff Beck is GOD!

never seen or heard him talk so much. nice to see him enjoying himself.best interview of jb ever.
I've watched this piece several times over the years and it always puts a smile on my face. In addition to being one of the most amazing guitarists in history Jeff was just so Cool, humble and nice.
He will be missed by all of us guitar slingers and everyone that appreciates genuinely good people.
lts tough when the world loses someone who was the absolute best, the pinnacle , someone so unrivaled at what he did. He was the greatest guitar player to ever live. A true master's master and the world has lost some of its shine. RIP Jeff Beck
First time seeing this, thank you RIP Jeff Beck
I know a guy who sold some parts to Mr. Beck and confirmed he was the real deal. He said he was super humble and just a normal kind of guy. I've never really been into solo guitar stuff, but I've got huge respect for his musical talent and car love. Imagine, busting knuckles on old junk cars with those special hands.
I love this guy now even more. He is a serious car guy too wow.
Wow, Jeff is for real and has enormous talent to be able to build these cars from the ground up.His stock went way up after watching this program.How neat is it to find a guitar playing legend who has so much creative talent so far removed from shredding a guitar.He is the kind of guy all of us could spend hours talking to at the local car show.
Jeff was such a genuinely, nice person...🙏 I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan At one of their Tours ...! I had gotten personal backstage party passes from Stevie Ray Vaughan‘s manager ...! Stevie Ray and Jeff Beck did this fantastic tour during the 80s.. Stevie Ray was killed shortly after this concert in the helicopter accident with Eric Clapton’s band...😢 I talked with Jeff And Stevie ray for a good while about playing fender guitars and string gauges..., Two American musical heroes both taken from us way too soon..... 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I grew up in SoCal. I got my first guitar when I was 13. Two months later I got my first car, it was a "55 Ford Victoria, but I'd been working on cars since I was 8. So I worked on the car all day and when it got dark I played guitar. By the time I was 18 I had built Crazy Horsepower and raced it at Lions on the weekends and then the garage band I was in got a gig at Under the Ice House on Sunset. The band became Reign which was a well known Beatles tribute band. I left and pursued blues guitar and my hot rod was the number two car in the NHRA Modified Production "B" class. I sold it to George Barris for double what was in it. I've always been around both.
R.I.P. Jeff, I'll always play your riffs.
Did your Beatle's tribute band play at Disneyland in 1980? If so I have seen you play. I can't recall if the band at Disneyland was Reign or Rain. I have also been a Beck fan since age 13 when Blow by Blow was released. Last time I saw Beck play was this past October in Cincinnati. First time I saw him live was his tour with SRV.
Found this so genuine, he couldn’t be more happy here , stoked about his beauties , even the iconic split window vette . Left a mark on this world , RIP , time stands still
I feel that anyone who had one of Jeff’s talents would be blessed. Jeff Beck was multitalented; he was the real deal.
JB You legend. You will be missed.
Didn't realise Jeff was into American Hot Rods
Losing Jeff this way is almost too much to bear, he had years left as he was very healthy.I am profoundly sad over his passing.
This just makes me love the guy more. I didn't know that he was a car guy. I've been captivated by his music for decades. Such a terrible loss to the world. I'm glad that I stumbled across this video.
Barry Maguire and Jeff Beck sittin' there talkin' shop. I love it!
Wow!... Jeff and his Wife are just Amazing People... Thanks for Sharing the Video.
Jeff Beck …. So great to hear him talk and see his passion for Hot Rods
He wasn't just rich rock star collecting.. It's great to see the love and that he knew his stuff and worked on them.. most would have a care taker
Still shocked to hear that Jeff had passed away. Was just watching my classic car on Pluto TV. It was nice coming across this video, killer hot rods Jeff.
I could talk hotrods (and guitars) with Jeff for hours. Very cool that he is not a checkbook hotrodder and seems very down to earth...
Love to see Jeff so happy to talk his cars,
and,
his wife is great,
sweet couple!
Love him always!
Who knew he was a very simple , kind soul🤫🖤❤️😢 R I P Jeff you will be missed! You Did The Planet GOOD 👍😊😎
Amen m8, he was a wonderful musician and a beautiful soul. He'll be missed😔
RIP Jeff. Like his cars he was truly one of a kind.
That Corvette is pure sweetness.
So sad to watch this now knowing he's gone. No pretensions, nothing to prove.
I love Jeff (RIP) and I loved watching this two part series! But- I really loved the message at the end from Mr. Maguire to the young Fast and Furious fans! Way too many kids treating the streets like stuntmen after the popularity of these movies. It’s nice to see that encouragement being redirected toward the track by a man who’s company who sponsors the movie!
Time to Rest Jeff, we are missing you! I did not realize this side of him, he was like a musical Jay Leno!
I’m floored! Lol. I had no idea of his amazing card talent! What a great life to be able to be a guitar master as well as a hot rotter master. Love ya Mr. Beck!!
Top musicians like Beck are born inventors. Music is simply one channel
Look up the interview on how he made his first guitar-picture frame molding and plywood
He built his first guitar from photos
About 12 years old
I'm telling you stories from interviews where I hear it directly out of his mouth, not a wannabe reporter or author writing an unauthorized biography
He's out there over the years interviewing on BBC, UK. Check out his interviews, there's a lot of them over the decades
But I've known other musicians along his lines, music is just one of thousands of skills and talents they have-because their inventors...
Not only do they write & play music, but build their own instruments.
Sir Brian May, Queen-2007 ph.d. in astrophysics. Build his famous guitar, Big Red, or something like that
Mick Jagger already had a degree from the London School of economics
Eddie Van Halen built his guitars-very well-read and educated.
Gene Simmons went back to college, business degree
Steely dan-those three are geek geniuses
Steve winwood, is a pig farmer-who sounds like he should have a PhD in English literature, so well-read
he was kicked out of music school, but got an honorary degree from the Berklee school of music
Jeff Beck tells a story on how he was asked to leave his first guitar lesson-I won't spoil it for you. Get it straight out of his mouth, he tells it best
The only one I can't explain? Keith Richards 😁
(I still think it's an act, he & Mick are laughing all the way to the bank!)
These guys invent sounds, bend notes & construct instruments only they play.
Les Paul was a favorite go-to for top musicians, he would custom guitars
Actually his wife, Mary Ford, had more to do with the actual invention of the sound
But they become jukeboxes-when they go on tour, everybody wants to hear the albums.
They have to have other interests & creative outlets.
Or their music will die. Because it's an "invention" to them.
How unusual is it for a young kid to do this?:
Jeff Beck stated in an interview that he loved going into his mother's music room, lifting the lid on the piano-putting his foot on the sustain pedal, then reaching around and plucking the strings... He said the way it sounded in the piano frame was "magical" to him. He didn't want to put his fingers on the keys to do the work, he didn't want to play piano
he wanted to do the work of the hammers, put his fingers directly on the strings
-so he went out and built himself a guitar
I had an oddball musician kid-he got ahold of my violin bow, shredded it to pieces
Yep-
Jimmy Page
dazed and confused!
Dazed and confused was written with Jeff Beck under The Yardbirds, released under led Zeppelin
You got to check out his interviews-there's tons of books, but listen to him. Enjoy-you'll get yourself an education far beyond 12th grade
@@TheFoolintherainn Very true of a lot of top musicians. A lot of musicians have alternative skills outside their musical skills such as painting and various artistic endeavors. Eddie Van Halen certainly been one of them and his ability to build his own guitars and even amplifiers though admittedly he has always said he ruined other guitars in improving some. Mick Jagger never got a degree from the London school of economics as he only attended for a very short period. He is a great business minded individual tho as well as being a fantastic harp player and decent guitar player and all around great musician.
I personally find it quite interesting that one of Jeff Beck‘s talents was his ability to wrench on automobiles, not something you here much of other musicians. Not to say that they don’t have interest in automobiles but usually do not get down and dirty with pulling engines and rebuilding engines and motors and such. Let’s toss in Bill Wyman for his ability with electronics and being the first of any of the Stones to have an interest in video recording, i.e. personally archiving the Rolling Stones. Musicians have many other talents besides the abilities to write, play and perform live.

Well I'm sure you remember, growing up with these guys-going back to the 1960s & 70s, we clearly picked up symphony rock, Tolstoy, history from our music.
We were forced to pick it apart, because the Catholic church was calling our music devil worship music LOL! So as soon as somebody bands something, you know... You probably remember Metallica, making it a point to learn led Zeppelin lyrics just to piss off your parents!
We weren't so focused on those college degrees.
Mick is a very smart businessman-I guess my point is, he was accepted at a top economic school-they didn't let anybody in there
he spoke of the London School of economics in an old interview... He basically said he learned all he needed and he wanted to apply it in the world. That's how I took it, according to his words
I figured they gave him some honorary degree, but the fact that he even got admitted? That would be the point that you jumped way over!!!
I don't believe anything I see written
only listen to what comes out of the horses mouths
I'm actually a more of an economist-the news I've gotten on Mick Jagger comes through the Wall Street journal and financial publications. Cuz money don't lie, even when Mick does!
Mick Jagger grossly understates both rolling Stones and his personal financial value. He's worth triple what he puts down on paper... And that's why he's got a lot of The rolling Stones paraphernalia warehoused. To keep its value from increasing until his great-grandchildren cash in
Did you know the reason you can't get your hands on alotta rolling Stone paraphernalia very often, is because he's bought it all up and has it warehoused!
I knew someone who was his roadie 1983-87
the biggest thing they had to lug around for Mick Jagger were trunks full of books-he insisted on traveling with his library.
That came from someone I know who probably wouldn't make up crap like that... Cuz his Roadies were pretty quiet people
They were not allowed to party!
I've had genius musicians in my family life and they don't get along well in the real world.
It isn't they are musicians and then they have other talents? They're extremely talented people-this is what gets them attention, it's something that they enjoy interacting with other people, cuz otherwise they don't
They don't do well in formalized education settings.
Boring, too slow, stuff they learned in kindergarten
Well-enjoy your memory lane back to high school... I assume since you're an expert on all these musicians, that you actually grew up in the era?
Thank you my Lord how this wonderful program appeared is truly a miracle from above; to cat who pushed the righteous button. HERO I'll be watching forever n let my son n my friends n family know about this. Peace n Smile
He was magical. RESPECT
I'm going to share this with every channel doing a tribute to Jeff!
RIP Jeff 🙏❤️🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Wow very nice post death tribute video! Jeff was always soo cool of a Guitar Slinger and being a Car Crazy guy explains alot. ... No big fan fair or always needing to be in the spot light like so many super stars in the music world, He's a true Natural Car guy that loved to work, build, and drive these babies!! May he ALWAYS be fondly remembered!
This is why no one can figure out how to play guitar like Beck . Because it takes amazing precision to build hot rods
I think he'll get his bend now. RIP
He's gonna be truly missed
Jeff Beck a class act!
I am diggin' this as it gives us a different view of the master guitarist. Mighty cool.
i wish i could spend a week just living with them. watching two masters at work in their respective arts, including both of jeff beck's... and it is a beautiful place to. so relaxed
I used to work in the stockroom at Bruce Meyer’s store. Too funny this caught me off guard.
I enjoyed this so much. I've always been a big fan of his, but to hear these stories are so great.
My husband is a big car guy, bought me a 75 Corvette, ( I had an old Volvo), never really was into cars, but, then I had everyone everywhere asking me about my car! So, I had to learn a little and was taken by the passion of car people. It was so great. Thats how I found this clip. Really enjoyed it.
Always been a HUGH FAN, since the Yardbird days and all the way thru Jeff's career. Lord SUCH a trip to see him at home with all that American Iron!!! Thanx for showing this!!!!!!
Its so so heart braking, I am standing beside you Sandra,so much love to you,love from sweden,skandinavia,Europe,kram huggs 🥰🙋♀️🇸🇪
What a nice treat. Thanks Jeff for all the great music!
Jeff Beck...RIP my friend, thanks for the awesome music, You will be missed
WOW What a gentlemen Jeff Had a wonderful life and Career RIP Jeff Beck
Great seeing a different side of Jeff Beck, thanks for posting the whole show.
Beck was one of a kind. The best electric guitarist ever, hands down.
C'mon now......😏
Truly a fantastic person with amazing talent. And a car guy! RIP Mr. Beck
this was really a great show ! Jeff is Awesome
Wonderful episode thank you.
So glad I was lucky enough to see him perform in person he was amazingly pitch perfect and awesome to watch ❤️🙏❤️
Was hoping someone would re-upload his car collection, thank you! Such a cool guy. Most musicians are car guys, I can attest. The split window Vette puts him in my #1 car/musician person category for sure!
Jeff is a real car guy and in the top three best guitar players of all time rest in peace brother
i had the pleasure of seeing jeff live many times, he never ceased to amaze me, truly one of the all time greats, and man what good taste in cars!!!!! RIP brother, you will be missed tremendously
A big part of many of our musical lives and a bona fide car guy as well. RIP and God Bless Jeff Beck.
It’s heartbreaking that he’s gone
There are a lot of musicians that are into cars, but how many actually do their own builds. He is listening to every sound the car makes. He is totally real. No bs.
Well that certainly showed us how deep the engineering goes. So impressive. Talk about talent, those paintings were stunning too, really grabbed you. Am now seeing Jeff Beck in a completely new light. It takes a lot of skill to produce a competition car, shame we didn't see undere the bonnet of the muscle car. Or should I say Hood. I'll tell myself off later, thanks :)
Jeff, I saw you in 68 at Eagles Auditorium in Seattle and again three consecutive shows at The Filmore in San Francisco. I grew up with thirty two Fords in our driveway, both hot rod and stock. My preference would be the more uncommon brands but your garage was quite an treat to tour
Do what you love, and you don't work a day in your life...Jeff Beck, seems to have lived it. hope to see him upstairs someday...
J.B. is the GOAT as far as I know. We shared like interests in guitars, music & cars. He was & still is my favorite musician & I still can't believe he got sick & passed so quickly. RIP Jeff, you were the best & I will always love your music & it's influence on me & many others.
1963 split window corvette, turned out to be a great investment Jeff.
Jeff Beck absolutely blew my mind in the mid 70’s with the Blow by Blow and Wired albums. He was obviously a huge talent musically. Who would have known he such a down to earth guy! He knew his way around a garage and was great with tools, welding, etc. That brought to a whole different level of coolness.
To see such a country gentleman kind of life with his wife and dog made me sad knowing how he died so suddenly. RIP Jeff.
I'd always heard that Jeff Beck was less than affable, shall we say and more than a bit petulant with the press and public. It's great to see him open with Barry M. and talk cars, especially his love for american hot rods and to find out he's built most of his stable from scratch!
Actually he is extremely nice. Just don't crowd him when he is trying to concentrate..So - he'll brush you off before the concert and be the sweetest guy ever after it.
what a nice person
RIP Jeff
One of rock's best raconteurs is Jeff Beck! Now, when I go to England have an auto break down, I'll call him before a tow truck (lorrie) service.
That man was incredible. Possibly the best electric guitarist ever to live, as he just kept getting better and better with age, which does not happen with electric guitar players. And then to learn he could build a hot rod from the bottom to the top is just mind blowing. What an amazing human being.
Such a cool down to earth and so talented guy .. Car builder and guitarist genius… RIP to the legend Jeff Beck
I’m going to miss having Jeff Beck on the planet with us. Godspeed Jeff. Just another guitar player that hopes I learned a few things from listening to you play.
And, a car crazy guitar player that just got inspired by watching you tell your hot rod stories. Giving me a nudge to go out and work on my 1970 Buick Skylark again. We sure are going to miss you. Many thoughts for your family and friends.
We got the cars and the music right! Thanks Jeff… and so did you!!!
Save us a seat…
He reminds me of Cozy! RIP both you guys
RIP Jeff!
As brilliant and unique as he was, I don't think I've ever heard Jeff talk this passionately about his guitars.
They have everything except children. Such a lovely person and couple. I think they would have made the perfect family. Jeff Becks children would have inherited their father's lovely character and a great love of music and art.
What are you smoking there are no guarantees our kids inherit our habits lol it rarely happens
Awesome... RIH Guitarist & Car Guy; Mr. Jeff Beck
i used to have an interview with Jeff where he talked about building hot rods in about '83, so i came here thinking this was it, but it was with an FM radio personality, maybe 'Redbeard?
it was a good interview-
this guy reminds me of Casey Kasim.....and the top forty., but if you can get past that its really cool...Jeff and his wife
England's absolute finest.
R.I.P JEFF BECK
Jeff tells a good story.
Seeing Jeff Beck here suddenly reminds me of how much he resembles Nigel Tufnel.. Or should I say how much Nige resembles Jeff : D RIP
Politely requesting that heaven returns Jeff Beck to the world, it's just not cool enough on its own
Rest easy Jeff Beck
Minun SUURI sankari Kitaristina , Muusikkona mutta myös Autot :) MY HERO !
R.I.P. Jeff….
Jeff is a legend
R I P Jeff i want to see you and Stevey Ray Vaughn jamming when i get there you did the planet GOOD BRO🖤👌❤️👍 by now
Long live the King of the Strat! 🎸🎼🇨🇦
So sad so down to earth...so sorry for his family and wife so so sad .....prayers 🙏
RIP Jeff. You were the one in one.
