Jeff Beck - why he is a legend 

I was blessed to have witnessed Jeff play live three times. First on the tour promoting his Guitar Shop record, opening for SRV in 1990 and the other two concerts as a headliner in Cincinnati and Louisville. Rock and roll royalty, Beck was THE man!

NOICE tribute ... Jeff Beck is truly one of the few greats that is inimitable! Hard to not put him on the very top of the greatest of all time!😎🎸🤘🔥

He put out so many great albums.. Then he put out albums containing electronic music.. I love electronic music so that's amazing. He had some Engines of Creation in him for sure♥️

Was blessed to see Jeff a dozen times with various band configurations from 1975 through 2018. He never disappointed, he always played his heart out and always left me in awe. There are many, many very good guitar players, there are some who are iconic, but there was only one Jeff Beck. Comparisons with other guitar players is irrelevant. Jeff just continued to evolve, surprise, delight and confound his audiences, many were often professional guitar players themselves. I have seen many smile, shake their heads and say, “ how does he do that?”. My all time favorite guitar player on a long list of greats. Thank you for the music Jeff!

What a legend! Brilliant video! Thanks for sharing👍

Amazing guitarist so missed RIP we love you 🎶🎸🎵🎸💜🤍🖤♥️🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️😇Anni

Great sharing on Jeff Beck. So interesting video.

A genius with a restless soul! 👍👍👍

Remember first seeing Jeff at eel pie island with the Tridents around 63 , then at Marqueeol with the fabulous Yardbirds.I have loved all his work since,in my lifetime he has contributed so much to me and the music industry. Jeff you have left a big hole in my life , what is so sad is that the country of his birth has not appreciated and commerated his lifetime achievement.It is criminal that our greatest electric guitarist has not received the recognition he so much deserved.

What a wonderful channel. Deserves at least two orders of magnitude more viewers. Speaking about this issue: BECK TO THE FUTURE!

Love Jeffs music, adore his guitar playing, could care less about the antihero bs. Was very tragic to see him go at one of the most active times of his life! He actually was mellowed by time perfectly.

I was lucky enough to see Jeff Beck in 2001. Totally awesome. A true guitar god.

Wow, what a great way to begin this video by showing the legendary guitar smashing scene from Blowup! To me, witnessing this was a life changing event, because it was so ultimately cool, in the spirit of rock and roll rebellion that was so prominent in mid 50's rockabilly that so effectively influenced and inspired Jeff - who else but Beck could furiously smash a guitar (although with cheap knocks-offs for the movie, which was done repeatedly until Antonio was satisfied) while on stage with Jimmy Page, playing a re-arrangement of Train Kept a Rollin', while the audience stood by emotionless? All in a small club setting that actor David Hemmings just happened randomly to wander into? It also captured in high quality (for the day) the period in Yardbirds' history when Beck and Page graced the same stage together, a precursor of Led Zeppelin! Although this was a fictional scene crafted for the movie by director Michelangelo Antonioni, it mirrored the stories circulating as legend about Jeff's temper during the touring days with the Yardbirds, when he would routinely smash guitars and throw amps out of two story windows - due to to his dissatisfaction with the sound - either the band or the equipment! AND, this was just the beginning - all the genres he subsequently conquered during his lengthy career could fill a book (said in jest as understatement, as MANY books and articles were written about him)! My ultimate guitar hero indeed, a person who is truly unique in guitar lore, whom I still grieve over to this day - thanks for your wonderful tribute, Jimmy!! Oh, and many many thanks for the shoutout to my channel in your added notes for this video - what a truly humbling inclusion!

Wow! This is a superb documentary on Jeff Beck, by far the best I've ever seen. Thumbs up for that! The only item I've seen other documentaries cover that wasn't covered here were his first and second wife and a couple other women he had relations with over his life.

Mr Beck RIP . Beck and Batton.... 🙏 ✌️🤘🏴🇦🇺

Yes He is :) Great video Brotherman :)

3months befor ,... i saw him 2nd row, red bank,nj, ahhhhhhhhhhh

1 of 1.

Saw a clip in here of him using two blues jr, one tweed one blue

Beck yeah!

I like when he played with Emelda May , coll cool cool

If you can I’d love to see you do a video on prince! I think he is a highly underrated guitarist who doesn’t get much recognition!

I am Very curious....at what age did He finally drop the pick....??? Inspired by His Technique...I've been finger plucking much more... Meat sounds better than plastic'....but...still would be scared to walk on stage w out One.

I know your channel is about a different topic and this is unrelated to this video, but is there anything new about your orthodontic treatment/journey?

I first saw him with the Yardbirds in '66 with Jimmy Page also on guitar, with the original Jeff Beck Group in '68, Beck, Borgert & Appice in '73. I saw various line - ups over the years, especially with Jan Hammer those were great shows, with Clapton and Page and other all - stars on the A.R.M.S. tour in '83 and SRV in '89 But it wasn't until I saw him with Tal Wilkenfeld and Vinnie Colaiuta, what a rhythm section the best he every had in 2009 and the last time I daw him. Beck was a guitarist, guitarist 🎸 Can never understand that he's never in the top five guitarist. I agree with Hendrix, Clapton and Page usually those three always top three, but Beck not listed as #4 or #5 if not lower, who makes up these lists. Just like Roy Buchanan, Jeff Beck was as I said, a guitarist - guitarist. We will never see the likes of him every again, no one played guitar like Beck, and no one every will. Thanks Jeff for all the music, music that will stand the test of time...... R.I.P. 🎸🙏

Jeff Beck turned on to fusion after hearing Tommy Bolin.

I've never liked watching guitarists smashing their instruments, Hendrix, Townshend, Blackmore, Beck etc. I suppose it started due to frustration but quickly became theatre and a bandwagon. It just looks juvenile and thankfully it turned out to be a passing, if expensive, fad.

No shredding BS. He didn't have to hide behind speed. Jeff was ALL tone, melody and expression.

The most melodic player I have ever seen.

I SAW JEFF IN RENO 84 WITH ROD STEWART IT WAS LIKE FACES UNBELIEVABLE
