#jeffbeck #rip
In this #masterpiecefriday edition of #thedailydoug, I'm paying tribute to legendary guitarist Jeff Beck, who sadly passed away this week at the age of 78. His tone and melodic approach to his instrument was singular, and he will be greatly missed. In the episode, we're listening to three live performances that (in my opinion) showcase his range as a musician: People Get Ready (Joss Stone), Cause We've Ended As Lovers, & Beck's Bolero (with Jimmy Page at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony). RIP Jeff Beck!

From Tal on Facebook: "Jeff Beck’s light and power were so strong I was convinced we’d be goofing around and making music until the day I leave this planet. He was forever youthful, fueled so deeply by the muse that basic necessities were last on his list. “Are you hungry, Jeff?” “Oh no, I had a huge muffin yesterday!” We lost our favorite guitarist, and we also lost one of the most intelligent, intuitive, hilarious people I’ve ever met. Jeff, thank you for believing in me before anyone else did. You stood behind me and told everyone to take me seriously. You treated me like a daughter to the point where Wikipedia actually thought that was true. Actually, I did too. 💔♥💔♥ #RIPJeffBeck"

I used to work for Fender Guitars & spent some beautiful times with Jeff. Always incredibly gracious, present, interested, mischievous, hilarious, humble. He told me that before the Ronnie Scott’s gigs he was so nervous that the only thing he ate in 2 days was a Mars ice cream (chocolate, caramel & ice cream - suitable for vegetarians!). Also told me he’d stopped using a pick to “make playing more of a challenge & to be more closely connected to the guitar…”. Such a rare talent. Such a precious guy. He often found rapture & ecstasy in music (as well as the deep joy & happiness he got from cars & hot rods). Many of us shared those moments with him. Often onstage he was filled with light. As has often been said “There’s Jeff Beck…then there’s everyone else.” 💖🎸😢

@Blue-qr7qe Жыл бұрын

His hand is not just cradling the whammy bar; his fingers are constantly adjusting tone and volume controls, note by note, to achieve his effects, like striking a note and immediately truncating it's volume to make sound like it's being sucked back into the speakers. Constant tonal control. Such a unique sound. Thankk you, Jeff , for decades of wonderful guitar playing. RIP.

@FreeMTrider Жыл бұрын

Good point. Beck's the absolute master at sound control out of the amp. He pretty much pioneered volume swells and a bunch of other related sound control.

@markhammer643 Жыл бұрын

I went to see him at an outdoor venue a decade or so back, and made a point of getting to the venue early so I could snag a place right up against the edge of the stage, where I knew he'd be standing. I needed to see how he did what he does, and especially how he could get these gargly flutters, using the vibrato arm. I strained my eyes, but from 20ft away I *still* couldn't figure out how he does it.

@mickeygoh25 Жыл бұрын

This is extremely difficult. That's why Jeff Beck is the guitarist.

@NTrails2002 Жыл бұрын

That "warbly" effect can be explained. What he's doing is actually smacking the whammy bar with the edge of his hand. He never actually touches the strings, so the attack of those notes begins on the whammy bar, then transmitted through the hinge and springs into the strings, thereby giving it that warbly effect. I've never seen anyone else ever use that technique. But... It's just one of probably a thousand techniques that Jeff would use constantly. He loved breaking the rules, finding new ways to get new tones, and then incorporating them in his music. I miss him so much already....

@sdemosi Жыл бұрын

@@NTrails2002 this was the secret to Jeff. He embraced the idea of a guitar as an electrified instrument with all that implied from a young age. He was always experimenting and where others would hear an artifact of the electrical circuit, Jeff would figure out how to turn a blip, a cough of distortion, a harmonic ping into a technique thst he could apply effortlessly and fluidly at will. He crafted songs from sounds that others just wondered about. In Jeff's hands the guitar had notes & tones that others could not find.

I managed to sneak backstage after a Jeff Beck gig back in 2013. When I met him he was drinking a glass of champagne. I asked him questions about his guitar set up and he said it would be easier to just show me, so he went and got his guitar and handed it to me to inspect, he was then called to another room so he left me standing in a room by my self holding Jeff Becks guitar. What an honor. Such a good man and hands down the best guitar player of all times. I managed to see him one last time two months ago in Atlanta and he tore it UP! Rest in peace Jeff

My wife was a blues singer (had a hit in our country years ago) and she was talking about Beck earlier today. Her observation was that he sings and talks with the guitar. It's like if a person decided they would only communicate via an instrument so they constantly refined the depth and range of expression they could achieve. It's a constant battle to avoid being mute

I appreciate you paying tribute to Jeff and I was devastated when I heard that he passed away. I have been following his career since late 1965 when he was in the Yardbirds. Jeff is the one who influenced me to play the guitar. No one sounds like Jeff. His playing style was on another planet. I am always surprised when I talk to people my age and they have never heard of Jeff Beck but know Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. I was fortunate to see him play live so many times. I am actually friends with Jennifer Batten who played with Jeff for 3 years. She is the closet guitarist to sound like Jeff. Thank you for the video. Jeff.... Rest In Peace.

Sadly, many great guitarists, when not a member of a renowned super group e.g. Cream, Zeppelin, Floyd (and I love Gilmour), Allman Bros., Deep Purple etc., seem to become forgotten, when lists of GOATs are compiled. Then, almost like a curveball, Jeff Beck's name is mentioned, and it's OMG YES, I almost forgot about him! Immediately he gets propelled to the top (or close) of the list. I personally feel it's pointless to say who's the GOAT, but Jeff is one of the GOATs. I'm now going to listen to People Get Ready with former bandmate Rod Stewart. RIP Jeff

My first experience with Jeff beck was when I was a kid and heard the Policeman's Ball, a charity concert in England. He played this with Clapton and I was amazed then by him. I had heard of the Yardbirds but never realized the relation until later. Then in the 80s, he came out with Flash. I was into EVH by then and thought there was no one better until I heard "People Get Ready". By then Beck had given up the pick and the music changed. It was as if he saw EVH and said "oh, so you want to play with both hands?" " I'll see your two-hand tapping and shred that to pieces!" I was hooked from then on.. His playing with Tina Turner on "Steel Claw" was amazing and of course, I devoured everything I could by him. You are correct about his control of the strings and whammy bar. He makes the guitar do whatever he thinks of.. This rendition of "Cause we ended as lovers" is amazing.. And he freely gives space to the other musicians.. Thank you for this tribute..
