Docbop Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 This really hurts a lot for me. Jeff Beck has been my #1 rock guitarist since I first heard him in the 60's until now and in the future. Thank you Jeff for all your amazing and tasteful music. Peace 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEB Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 At onetime I played most the material from his fusion phase. My fusion band in the 80s covered a ton of his work. I learned so much from the Wired and Blow by Blow albums. Guitar work as well as Jan and Max ‘s keyboard work. Both Jeff and Max were beastly insanely great players 2 Quote "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

mate stubb Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Jeff was absolutely unique. I've heard Clapton and Page imitators by the bucketful, but never heard anyone sound like Jeff.

KuruPrionz Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 The most talented electric guitarist of our time has left us. Thank you Jeff for all the great music. I feel blessed that I saw him open for BB King many years ago. He played as always, fantastic musician. 3 Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.

o0Ampy0o Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Jeff Beck never succumbed to being a cliche of himself. His unique approach had no space for it. Every time he played he was using different words to say the same thing if he wasn't adding more insight to the original story. He didn't get to reap the monetary rewards and have mass recognition like some guitarists who caught on with main stream rock fans but he is one of the very few who created a unique niche carving his own path defining and refining his voice. In the Rock genre he was around in its beginning and stuck to his personal principles gathering little things from everywhere and expressing them in his own unique way to the very end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyRude Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 As a youngster we'd play Freeway Jam over and over. Of course we couldn't even come close to what Jeff and his band were doing, but we wanted to. That music took us all to a different and amazing place. Those memories stuck with me through the years.

Mark Schmieder Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 My #1 guitar god, bar none, and I stupidly missed a chance to see him in Maryland last year due to the drive and still not feeling comfortable going out during the pandemic (other than the occasional gig, mostly outdoors, I have done nothing but do home chores and office work, plus one or two grocery store trips a week, since COVID started). It was indeed sudden, as he caught meningitis and was gone shortly thereafter. I am devastated beyond words.
