Such a great guitarist

Listening to “There and Back” which is the only studio album I can find on my server—I may have other titles on my back up HDD. He can certainly shred.For my money, Jeff Beck is the greatest* electric guitar player who ever lived. Astounding technique that served to create and emote his musical voice through many styles. Check out “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat” from his WIRED album. 78 years is a good run. He will be greatly missed.
*Mr Hendrix was the most important.
Mr. Page is right up there with great guitarists as well!One of the three amazing guitarists to come off that rock/blues/psychedelic crucible known as The Yardbirds: Clapton, Beck, and Page. The Yardbirds eventually morphed into Led Zeppelin.
I second that! Rare indeed. And it must have been a great performance to see. The Odeon is an awesome venue. I saw many bands there in the mid-seventies. I was able to see Jeff Beck just recently at the GSR in Reno and loved every minute.A rare combination of technical prowess and emotional expression. Was fortunate enough to hear him play live at the Hammersmith Odeon outside of London in 1990, with Terry Bozio on drums. What a show. RIP Mr. Beck
Downloaded Wired last night. Hope to listen to it tomorrow morning. Very impressed with the clips I listened to. I do believe I’m becoming a fan.Listening to “There and Back” which is the only studio album I can find on my server—I may have other titles on my back up HDD. He can certainly shred.
