The guitar he used on “blow by blow” LP was a “parts-telecaster” somewhat like a Les Paul with two dual coil PUs … It’s been a few years, but during “Blow by Blow” Jeff Beck did use his black Les Paul on that album… hence the cover picture.. but again the most famous song on the album, Stevie Wonder “cause we ended as lovers“ And when it first was released some people were saying that Les Paul sounds amazing on that song, other people said wow listen to that white Strat… but no, the most famous guitar song on that album he was playing a parts guitar with random different parts to make the instrument work,, but it is basically a telecaster with two dual coil pick ups, similar to the one I am playing in some of the video,
After seeing something online showing that picture with the Les Paul inspired me to pick my Les Paul up and solo around on some Beck chords….
.. I had  recorded a video couple of weeks ago… using my Strat for this song,, but all of a sudden,, the Les Paul seemed appropriate..? But my
Schecter telecaster in the video, is probably the most similar to the original guitar that Beck used on that recording,, except mine has tremolo, and his did not,, I think Beck would’ve liked my guitar,, because of that tremolo ..!
There is NO WAY in the world to copy this man,, because every single thing he played came right from his HEART ,, and according to Beck himself, “I NEVER play the solos the same” and you just can’t copy that stuff,, all you can do… is pay tribute to it,,, be inspired by it,,, And hail to one of an absolute innovator of … the Guitar…
Mr. Jeff Beck .. R I P….!
Strat version-
• Jeff Beck,, absolutely...
Thanks again for listening ..!
