Such a sensitive balanced player. Every note sings.

One of his masterpieces, Definitely Maybe

Sad news!! Such an amazing talent. So many great performances throughout so many decades. Nadia is one of my favorites.

Dang, this one hits hard. :( He looked so healthy, musically in top form, I couldn't believe the news. Life is so precious... RIP Jeff, you are one of a kind.

Nooooo!
He was the best! He was the best!

What a legend, and he seemed in such good health before the infection. I’ll abuse my trem bar tonight in his honour.

This is crazy, I just saw Jeff Beck live in November at a small venue near LA. He was in tremendous form. My favorite guitarist of all time, especially the way he reinvents himself over the years. Each album is like a new adventure. Here is a short video clip from that last tour, 8 weeks ago…


EDIT: Trying again with a YouTube link since the Google Drive link didn’t seem to be working.

One of my favorites of his... Crossroads 2007. RIP you magnificent beast... :(

I wasn't supposed to live to see my age, but yeah, like a lot of you, his passing is tragic. My introduction with Beck was through Blow By Blow when I attended Iowa State University. I was mainly attracted to his jazz stuff, so Blow By Blow, Wired, There And Back and Blue Wind (Live) became fixtures in my collection.

 

[Technostica]

I discovered him via his 70s fusion albums.
If you haven't heard his Mingus cover version, then I urge you to check it out:


RIP.

His hands.........are utterly amazing

What can anyone really say,Jeff Beck was a totally unique, beautifully original world renown musician for close to 60 years.

Unfortunately we’ve lost a true legend.



RIP

Definitely Maybe---one of THE songs you learned and worked on for your wah-wah chops, the kind that you could stab hearts with. And then you go see him and see him play it WITHOUT a wah pedal! He's just using the tone knob on the Strat! How many guitar players have shocked you into breathing through your mouth?

Thanks for the indelible memory, JB.
