Extract from Jeff's website bio: Jeff Beck isn't your typical guitar legend. His goal, in fact, is to make you forget that he plays guitar. "I don't understand why some people will only accept a guitar if it has an instantly recognizable guitar sound," says Beck. "Finding ways to use the same guitar people have been using for 50 years to make sounds that no one has heard before is truly what gets me off. I love it when people hear my music but can't figure out what instrument I'm playing. What a cool compliment."
Beck started his career by exploring the heavier side of rock before switching gears in 1975 with the groundbreaking instrumental jazz-fusion albums, "Blow By Blow" and "Wired ." Produced by Sir George Martin, famed producer of The Beatles, the two albums shattered people's preconceptions of what a rock guitarist was supposed to sound like. By fusing the complexity of progressive rock and improvisatory freedom of jazz with intergalactic guitar tones and a sense of humor, Beck opened up the horizon for future guitar instrumentalists like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani.
Inspired by the music he heard, it wasn't long before Beck picked up a guitar and began playing around London. He briefly attended Wimbledon's Art College before leaving to devote all of his time to music. Beck worked as a session player, with Screaming Lord Sutch-the British equivalent to Screaming Jay Hawkins-and the Tridents before he replaced Eric Clapton as the Yardbirds' lead guitarist in 1965. Beck left the band in 1967 and formed The Jeff Beck Group.... in late September 2013, Beck put together his new band for the Tour, comprising UK born Lizzie Ball -- Violin, Former band member Rhonda Smith -- Bass, Miami born Jonathan Joseph -- Drums and Swiss born Nicholas Meier -- Guitar.
