I’m sure others will have favourites, here’s one of mine.

Dang, he was just featured in a Fender ad a couple of months ago

Tribute to another guitar great

What a loss. No one played or sounded like him, ever. I still remember hearing Wired for the first time back in high school – still one of my favorite records. RIP

A huge loss. I’ve always loved his guitar playing and compositions. RIP.

I never realized he made an electronica album.

Ultimate Classic Rock

When Jeff Beck Dabbled in Electronica on 'Who Else!'

Guitarist Jeff Beck released 'Who Else!,' his electronica-influenced seventh studio album, in March 1999.

a gentleman and a scholar who can’t be replaced

My favorite Jeff Beck track.

Rest in power!

Oddly never heard any of his music, maybe apart from if he’s had a big radio hit at some point. Couldn’t name any of his songs. And I know my classic rock.

And I was rediscovering him yesterday night… RIP. Great guitar playing. So diverse and with so much imaginations… I don’t think I’ve heard anybody who can pull off so many different sounds and articulations out of the instrument. Just listening to him is very educative and fun for anybody who is into the music. Any kind of music.

Jeff Beck - Hi Ho Silver Lining - YouTube

It’s likely because he was a true player and not some fame addicted chump like little brother Eric.

The first time I ever heard of Jeff Beck was when I saw this video on MTV. This was when all my music listening came from either MTV or broadcast radio - no Spotify, Apple Music, or whatever yet:

RIP. One of the greatest.

Never heard of Eric Beck

I was lucky to watch him live two times.
The first time was my 18th birthday, in the Guitar Shop tour, with Terry Bozzio on drums and Tony Hymas on keys: a great experience that opened my brain and ears.
The second time it was few years ago, in a summer festival. He was a little sick but the performance has been astonishing!
He touched the guitar in a very unique and personal way: was able to make the strings sing and roar as nobody else. His guitar playing was miles beyond the “virtuoso”, he had a great touch and a supreme taste. One of the greatest.

He and Imelda May had so much here
