The music industry and marketing giants have these categories they like to put people in; Best Guitarist, Most Influential Guitarist, Best this or that. There is no category in which to place Jeff Beck. He transcends any earthly plane with his masterful musical expression. He plays pure, almost simple; nothing is wasted as he is completely synced to even to the smallest vibration. His mind gives birth to notes as a tonal entity, each one formed and uniquely shaped just right for its brief moment in space. Each song is a mystical journey to some place and your mind is captured and taken along for the ride.

[@Hudson1910]

[@curbozerboomer1773]

Yes!...you get it!..He was all over the guitar, but never the least bit sloppy...a perfectionist, who became perfect on that guitar!..and the best part--he was very genuine as a person, not overly impressed with himself, had other passions he pursued, etc. I wish he could have lived to be 100!...he was still playing impeccably, when that weird, horrible infection killed him.

This is simply one of the best covers of Sleepwalk I've ever heard. It's very faithful to the original. I probably really got into Beck about 1980 and the album was Truth (funny it was released the year I was born). Sure, there are some phenomenal players who can do all kinds of crazy stuff....Jeff Beck does it all! I can't believe he's turning 70 this year! So all you young "whipper-snappers" that want to know something about guitar - listen to Beck! He's still "learning" guitar...once you start learning to play, you never stop learning. And that's the true beauty of it - there is no finish line, no point where you now know everything.

D800Lover, I'll never forget the first time I heard Jeff Beck back in 69. During the time I had just bought the album Beck-Ola after hearing it once. It had All shook up and The Hangman's Knee. In 72 I picked up The Jeff Beck Group and I fell in love with Going Down. And the album's went on from there Blow by Blow, Jeff Beck the Jan Hammer group ,Rough and Ready and Wired. He can make that Strat sound like different instruments. I loved it when he'd use the wang bar and sounded like a steel guitar. When him and Clapton were playing together they were both great, but no one else could play or sound like Beck. Peace bro, and may the tunes play on and on.

His playing brings a smile to my face. Great accompaniment, too!

We have hundreds of guitar players that do their "one" great thing and then we have the master of "masters", Jeff Beck that does and can do anything "By the Hundreds . What is absolutely amazing ,of all his so called peers over the last 40ish years or so they (no names) have all just peaked and petered out and Sir Jeff just becomes more and more incredible amazing as time goes on ; Just my 2 cents ! ! !

Jeff is one of a kind just like Johnson , SRV , Hendrix , DiMeola and several others . The rest are excellent journeymen .

David J. Sullo You nailed it!! Jeff is the best ...bar none!!

[@DavidJSullo]

Henry .Rodriguez Henry ,, I wholeheartedly "feel" he is in a class above all else and the people that want to argue simply have not seen , heard , listened , and paid attention to the last 50 years ! I've always felt that when E.C. was labeled Clapton is "God" folks just had no idea yet and that Jeff "never" became mainstream , JADED and sold out like almost all the rest ! ! I could go on & on ...

David J. Sullo Completely agree David.But I also believe and understand all those greats who have"embered"out have nothing to be ashamed and owe us nothing.I'm guessing that Jeff makes sure that his entourage consists of highly positive and motivated people who are able to gently nudge him and keep him in a productive atmosphere.I believe his management feels that too much downtime for him is not necessarily a good thing and sitting at home staring out the windows can sometimes lead to apathy and depression.I had the honor of speaking to him for a short time in Thunder Bay Ontario of all places and chose my questions wisely and before I knew it his manager,myself and Jeff were on his managers computer looking for a specific type of rim that I saw when Jeff was on car crazy and he was just a guy helping out another guy with a mechanical question and he was quite happy to help me out.I could tell right away that he is a very smart and somewhat hyper and guarded individual and does not suffer fools.Anyway I'm rambling here a the point I was trying to get to was that too much idle time for him is just not healthy.I also got the feeling that he's far from finished and as you said the man is truly getting better and shows now sign of embering out.....cheers..Dan Laurin Kitchener/Ont.

Dan Laurin Dan , That is a much more detailed account of J.B.than I know and very happy to say you had the honor to meet . Certainly that there are other greats he just stands out as my favorite from the Tridents and Yardbirds through his latest work ,,, Emotion & Commotion ... I'm not sure many others could put (or try) to put such a Masterpiece together ! When I start listening to anything of Sir Jeff's I really just find myself hard pressed too stop ! ! !
