Here's a good article concerning "Cause We've Ended as Lovers", written by Stevie Wonder, and other matters and songs connecting Wonder and Beck:Jeff Beck: “Stevie gave me Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers as an apology for releasing Superstition first" - MusicRadar 1 Quote Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do? ~ Caevan James-Michael Miller-O'Shite ~ _ ___ _ Leprechaun, Esquire _ ___ _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice version beyond any doubt. Tommy does a fine job, given the expressive limitations of the acoustic guitar. I still prefer some of the later live versions by Jeff Beck, he spoke uniquely through his electric guitar. 3 Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.

Larryz Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Cool live video. I can never say anything negative about Tommy as he is still my favorite player these days. But, I do prefer Jeff on his electric Fender Stratocaster for this tune. The young Aussie bass player: Tal from down-under is fantastic too. I have a Crossroads 2007 DVD of her and Jeff playing (I love her bass solos). I also think the drummer and the keyboard (organ synth) player deserve a ton of credit for the backup foundation playing on this video...😎 3 Quote Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They perfectly matched Beck's genius. They always knocked it out of the park. 4 Quote Scott Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that acoustic guitar is not as expressive as electric guitar. And while both Tommy and Jeff have (had, in Jeff's case) profoundly different right hand techniques, both are stellar and both are fingerpickers. That said and no, I can't fingerpick like Tommy Emmanuel, but I do understand his technique - I can't wrap my head around watching Jeff work both the volume knob and the vibrato bar while picking notes and doing it so flawlessly. It's crazy. 2 Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryz Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Kuru, I didn't mean to imply that you said anything negative about Tommy and agree with you on the electric guitar being more expressive, depending on the tune and the player. 😎 Scott, +1 The bass, drummer and keyboard players perfectly matched "Becks' genius". I think their volume sensitivity and backup playing would inspire many a live performance. 😎 3 Quote Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
