There was only one Bruce Lee. There was only one Michael Jordan. There was only one Jeff Beck.

Yes!

nope, he is still wanking over Jeffy....

Can you let me know the source please?

@@MuzikSonics The Source = James Marshall Hendrix

Me too

Is Jeff paying you?

I so agree. Every time I hear it I am just stopped in my tracks - literally. Even my breathing. And there are tears . . .

@@wandamundy1759 I feel the same way. I was listening to it the other night. My daughter came up to me and said, What's wrong. She thought I was teary over his passing. It was the song alone. So overpowering.

If Mr George Mackley our Headmaster (who was a famous wood cutter and printer,)- was still alive, I wonder what he would have to say about Jeff Beck being one of the greatest Guitar players! I felt that eff was going to become a good player at school. When I heard him at aged 14 years when the class were all a year younger at Sutton East, try to actually make a guitar. He came in with a jumble of wires and bits of wood, and sat on the floor of the store room and after some time there some blues notes came from from the store room! I was utterly astounded! How had he done that? We were all 13 years old and a year younger than Jeff Beck who had arrived late ion the year. We did not live in the modern world of miniature radio so it could not have been that but about 6 blues notes came from where he was sat. I was excited to hear them because I loved the blues, and felt sure that Jeff would be famous one day! I was too shy to tell him. I felt that he would be one of the best, because he was so determined to make this guitar. I knew something about determination because I played the piano. I did not know his mother was a pianist like mine, and that Jeff had to learn as well, but when I heard his history it all made sense to me and I was suer that he would succeed. Cynthia Allen McLaglen

Totally agree but he really should stop putting shoe polish in his hair. lol

ooh...and you shot your load....

The notes are on the guitar, Jeff Beck just bends to and from semi-tones. It's really quite simple. Now doing it and sounding good is an entirely different thing...

TNO73 was

nope...one more wank session in you...

And i would rather Jeff.

Nop bvb

Do you camp outside Jeff's house?

+Ed9870 Any flamenco player would easily be better than the crap he puts out.

+Doug McCarron Your arrogance is only overshadowed by your absolute ignorance of music and guitar playing!

Really, Doug? I'm a flamenco player, and I have also played electric blues and rock stuff for years. There is no comparison between the two. Yes, there are flamenco guys as impressive as Jeff in their own way but Jeff is unique, and he can play stuff no flamenco player could even dream of, and vice versa. Such a stupid and ignorant comment.

Well as was once said in an interview, he is very expressive but has nothing to say.

Then perhaps you should say it.

IMHO saying a musician never plays the same thing, even if it’s brilliant, is insulting.

Jeff Beck wasn't in The Faces

@@dang2443 I did check the archive . It was the Jeff Beck Group . July 13 , 1969 . Ron Wood on Bass and Rod Stewart on vocals . You are correct .

@@dang2443 That was at The Singer Bowl , NYC .

He has to have a third hand somewhere. I can SEE how he does it, but... but... magic.

Beck's such a versatile and inventive player. He makes the best guitar based instrumental music period.

SuperStrik9 Amen. Like I said... MAGIC.

He did, you get a spotted it point.

he does but you need a third eye to REALLY see it. ;)

Or dead for that matter.

@@davidfox2832 LOL - many a true word spoken in jest :-)

Really now

I'm p sure Eric Clapton said that

Clapton said he played with everybody, believe me when i say everybody. Jeff Beck is the best.

Hey dude you have so many posts why don't you write a book it's pretty old watching all your comments combine them all into one with one thought he'd make it a lot easier

John McLaughlin better than both.

@@youmothershouldknow4905 Jeff wishes he could play like John, and John wishes he could play like Jeff. True story.

Eric Gendell Jeff's much more than a mere "Rock" guitarist

I love the words you use about Jeff. I felt them but wouldn't have found ""abandon" .

What a great statement my friend, couldn't have put it any better, however, in the music world and according to beck himself, Hendrix was the best ever. I don't disagree but beck is my favorite. Clapton is

william brodala The obvious fact is that Beck is more influential than Hendrix but Hendrix has a cannot-be-criticised aura.

If we need to qualify the best guitarist tag, it would be best Electric Guitarist. Obviously we'll never find out the full potential of Jimi Hendrix.

Ok at this point it's just scary mental illness with you.

so you must have blown your wad by this point....Jesus, that was an embarrassing display of butthole licking.

Aloof guitar god....

He has ego, but its solid and down to Earth, and based on reality. Thus, maybe, just maybe, it ain't ego but facts.

Having worked for Beck's label mid career.....he has an ego. Why do you think none of these bands lasted very long.

Have you seen Scott Henderson?

I've seen Steve Howe and Jeff Beck from 6 feet away, and many other famous guitar technicians. The thing with Beck is that on a GOOD NIGHT he has this incredible way of playing that shows just pure freedom and innovation. He convinces you that he has found the gateway into meaning, and it pours out. So even if he isn't, for that time you are absolutely positive he's the best ever.

Francis Ramp absolutely no way!!!

A well worded with wise precision comment my friend, I couldn't have said it any better myself in-fact not near as good as what's been said here fantastic stuff, I'm an "Accomplished Guitarist" [still learning, always] I have had the great opportunity of joining many "Rock Bands" over the years and performed multi-tudes of Shows, Whilst rising through the rank's so to speak of learning and eventually being very practiced + rehearsed & good enough, to join a working Band, Jeff Beck was one of many, many guitarists I would look up to over the years and still do today, well that's why I'm here I just finished watching a clip of him, "Jimmy Page in-fact Said Himself When Jeff is On, He's Un-touchable" little wonder Jimi was highly sort after by Jeff when Jimi fly to England, No doubt Jeff wasn't disappointed either] I didn't know that. It was guitarists such as Richie Blackmore, George Harrison, Hank Marvin, Scotty Moore, (wasn't much into page, but I should have been) Albert Collins, Johnny Lee Hooker, Freddy King, Johnny Winter, Jeff Beck, Frank Zappa, Roy Buchanan, Rory Gallagher, John Mclaughlin, Al Dimeola, Joe Walsh, Neil Young & Jimi Hendrix (and a host of others) were plenty nuff to keep me busy plus entertained via vinyl, I also learned, borrowed, stole, poached & observed by/at other musician friends and watching Live Bands at bars, I was at a house party back in the early 80's, there was a boot-leg album of Jeff Beck Playing on the Stereo and couldn't believe it was Jeff when told after I asking so, it was freaking phenomenal the Music was Like "SUPER FLOYD SUPER HENDRIX" & fucking blew my fucking Mind either that or I was STONED Off of My Nut & I regret to this day that I didn't either steal the tape or at least get the name of the title of it Chur! -

Well stated and agreed.

Word!

Without Rob Reiner there would be no Nigel. Without Jeff there would be no Beck music genius musician to be compared to everyone. Keep playing JB
