simon Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 this is very sad - he really was an incredible guitarist. Unlike most of us, he just seemed to get better and better as he aged. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PavlovsCat Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) I formed an instrumental band at 18 inspired by Jeff Beck's rock fusion music on albums like There and Back, Wired and Blow by Blow. Last night, before bed, I stumbled on a video of Jimmy Page inducting Jeff Beck into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and my wife and I watched it while I talked about how much I loved his playing and the musicians he played with (Jeff always surrounded himself with killer musicians and some of my favorite drummers, like Simon Philips and Vinnie Coliauta and more recently Tal Wilkenfield on bass). I realize the musical heroes of our youth are now quite old, but it's especially hard to see such greats like Jeff Beck pass. I'm going to miss him. RIP, Jeff Beck and thanks for all of the great music and passion that inspired so many of us. Edited January 12, 2023 by PavlovsCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 This is sad. His playing was so beautiful. He was just touring with Johnny Depp last summer and seemed fine. R. I. P. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technostica Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Such an individualistic player. Fortunate to have got to see him play, many decades ago. This is a big favourite of mine: RIP. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidan o driscoll Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 THIS is Jeff Beck for me. Never muscling in there to cram zillions of notes into a track. Just tastefully playing to fit the track In 1992 he appeared on an excellent concept album by ROGER WATERS ( ex Pink Floyd ) called AMUSED TO DEATH ( Recording started in 1987 ). So sit back and listen to his guitar on the BALLAD OF BILL HUBBARD. You may cry .. about WW1. It sends shivers down my spine every time I listen to it I will admit a tear in my eye listening to this .. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavlovsCat Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) @cclarryI know, like me, you're a big fan of David Gilmour's playing. He shared this great photo of him and Jeff last night. You've probably already seen in, but I thought it was really nice. Edited January 12, 2023 by PavlovsCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very touching! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
