A true guitar legend. Gone much to soon.

 

[Dusty Stevens]

That bacterial meningitis is an awful way to go. Sad to hear this news

A sad day in rock history. He was a true innovator!

 

[NZ_Fclass]

Been playing his CD's and You Tube vids all day.

 

[NZ_Fclass]

Probably his best live show - at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London

Video got blocked. It's been on YouTube for years. Must be youngsters finding out who Jeff beck was?

 

[R.Morehouse]

I enjoy his music ALL the time......R.I.P. Jeff......and Thanks.

Prayers sent for friends and family.

ps: the chick on the Base is Tal Wilkenfeld......Check out some of her music, truly another virtuoso musician.....

 

[Intheshop]

Rest in peace,you deserve it.

He just kept getting better with age. "Refinement".... should be a note in that word's dictionary definition to include Jeff Beck. He is my alltime favorite guitarist.

Years ago, I was given VIP tickets to an outdoor concert at Fiddlers Green.
Almost didn't go as I'm not good with large crowds. Front and center in a gated area for Jeff Beck! Glad I went.

Always a great guitar player. He also had a nice barn at his house in England, where he collect classic American cars.

RIP. Hopefully he is playing riffs with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eddie Van Halen on the other side.

 

[Bat Rastard]

I am wearing my Jeff Beck t-shirt at work today.
We had the good fortune of seeing him 5 or 6 times.

We are diminished.

 

[nakneker]

Well heck, we lose another great. I got to watch him twice, listened hour and hours. RIP!

Saw him in '76 with Jan Hammer ... was standing directly in front of the stage ... he was wearing a white sport coat with white Strat looking identically to the cover of Wired. Ground breaker, brilliant musician. RIP

Many, many great players/albums, as such too many to list.

However, Wired and Blow by Blow are probably two of the "coolest" guitar albums ever!

Gary Moore was probably my number one influence. He's gone now also. He drank himself to death. That's truly sad.

Beck was a guitar player's guitar player.
