Jeff Beck was one of the guitar greats, from the 1960’s through today. Though not as well-known as Hendrix, Clapton or Page, he was extremely talented, developing a unique sound and style. He was also law unto himself, taking left turns throughout his career. He will surely be missed by his many fans worldwide.
Cant argue with the OG stuff but the stuff around 2000 ( Who Else, You had it coming, jeff) holds a special place in this millenial’s heart. RIP Legend
It’s funny. I’ve been listening to rock and roll for 50 years and while I’ve heard of Jeff Beck countless times, I cannot recall a single song or album of his. I’ve probably heard some but never knew it. For such a supposed influence and contributor to the genre, his presence went largely unnoticed by me.
My idol. Always preferred the pre-whammy days, but it’s all fucking genius.
So much soul and humor in his playing…. Like EVH, really, at least to my sensibilities. Always a crazy-ass riff out of the blue to put a smile on your face.
“Devil’s Haircut” is a masterpiece.
For the youngsters out there, check out “Truth” with Rod Stewart. I had the good fortune of seeing Jeff Beck on his tour with Stevie Ray Vaughan.

This is terrible. He’s been a huge influence on my guitar playing. Very tasty phrasing, amazing technique and tone to kill for. RIP Jeff Beck
Cause we’ve ended as lovers
I met him a couple times, along with Alan Parsons, when I was working at a fancy hotel in the UK in the 80’s. He was really a nice guy. RIP.
A long time ago I got to see him play with Stevie Ray Vaughan at Cobo Hall, Detroit, Michigan
Damn. This one hurts. Absolute legend.

This one is sad. This is very sad.
