One of the all-time guitar gods for certain. I knew him mostly from the Yardbirds days and Brit blues. Innovative stuff later on with many others. RIP

I don't know but he did some great work on Roger Water's Amused to Death album. No mistaking his playing style.

That was real bad news. I'm sure every electric guitar player in the world that has watched Jeff Beck play has been completely amazed by what they saw and heard. He always sounded amazing and you couldn't really figure out what he was doing with his hands. One of very few completely unique guitar players in a cookie cutter world.

I think Rick Beato said it best, "Jeff Beck is your favorite guitar players favorite guitar player". He will be greatly missed.

He could produce some very unique sounds with a guitar. RIP

Thanks for the video Stoker. There are very few guitarists that can make spoken words come out of a guitar and Jeff was one of them. RIP
