Beck's Bolero (Rhythm Lesson) - Jeff Beck

[@emlyngriffith5846]

“Truth” is one of the great guitar albums....Beck’s playing at the time was outrageous ....breaking boundaries 👍

[@ianmoser7552]

digital recording doesn't do it justice either. Same as beckola. fantastic albums!!!

This is the song that hooked me on Jeff Beck. Lived with his first two albums under many psychedelic circumstances. ( Warning: 1960's "I was there" story) I caught the Jeff Beck group in Boston. They were so all so exuberant. They were so young and playing such great music and they were obviously enjoying it. I think of Beck as the "wizard" of guitar. There's nobody like him and he's still as creative as ever.

Good lesson, man. Appreciate it even more in the light of Jeff's untimely passing. RIP Jeff Beck... along with his mate Hendrix, one of the real giants of the guitar!

[@michaeld.mahoney9106]

Great lesson. Thanks. Beck is one of the best ever.

[@deanc.5984]

Always great when you play the whole song so we can watch, learn. Your teaching is super cool. Thank you.😎👍

[@kendipietro6855]

Awesome! Thank you ever so much for this gem.

[@crisprtalk6963]

This is the tune that made me despise Beck for years!! I had roommate in 82 or so that just wouldn’t stop playing it! Drove me insane. Couldn’t listen to Beck for another decade or so.

[@39foolish]

Thanks for your guitar wisdom, James! I came across your lessons on That's The Way, and Hey Hey What Can I Do, and they really impressed me. Your recent paeans to 79-80 Zep also prompted me to listen to the Copenhagen and the Dancing in the Doldrums concerts, and were spot on. Keep passing on the great Zep lore!

Cool lesson....Thank You James James!

[@thepaulmacfarlane]

perfect as always brother.

Jimmy claims in ‘The Anthology’ that he used the Fender Electric XII on the studio version of “Beck’s Bolero” but to me he’s clearly playing an acoustic twelve string. It’s just so obviously an acoustic that I can’t imagine how he could make that mistake. I have a sunburst ‘65 Fender Electric XII exactly like Page’s and believe me, it can’t get the sound of an acoustic twelve string! But there are many instances of things that are incorrect in the book. I still love it...it’s so dense that it’s a challenge even for me!

Hay JJ 👍👍👍✌️

[@reinaldoptizer3884]

Thanxs!!!

[@anthonypioppi273]

On the Baloise Session version of this song along with Shapes of Things, on KZbin, Beck claims he wrote the song and Page was given credit.

[@jamesjames9275]

Here’s a quote from Jimmy: “I wrote it, arranged it, and played the 12-string part. I don’t care what Jeff says.” Later, he pointed out that Jeff wrote the slide part.

@@jamesjames9275 That's great. Thanks for the reply. Love your channel.

[@elixthenese1469]

And I was thinkining where couldv Jimmy heard that grandiose adventure of a piece such as How many more times..

[@jamesjames9275]

Well, Jimmy wrote this one, so he was only stealing from himself on How Many More Times.

[@briano.5746]

Killer , I was just thinking about this tune a couple days ago! I forgot Jimmy played on this session. But , I didn't know Moon the Loon and Entwistle did too. Awesome info all around brother! 🐉🎸🎶🎵🧠 Just read where John Paul Jones played bass!?

[@pumkinbreath]

JpJ not Enwistle

[@jamesjames9275]

Actually, I think you’re right, Entwistle was supposed to be on the session, but he didn’t show. So Jonesy jumped in.

[@briano.5746]

@@jamesjames9275 Either way , a whole bunch of legends in the session!

[@RhiannaBarr]

And Nicky Hopkins on piano

[@michaeld.mahoney9106]

I believe it was John Paul Jones on bass not John Entwhistle. Great lesson as usual. Thanks.

[@jamesjames9275]

Indeed.

[@msa614]

Made me go back to the PT channel....again

[@darrell6800]

Finally...the TRUTH.... everytime I try out a guitar, I play Rock My Plimsoul. Or a Cardi B song....

[@jamesjames9275]

I thought Rock My Plimsoul was a Cardi B song.

[@darrell6800]

@@jamesjames9275 you're thinking Rock My Thotlana

[@richat1691]

jj, my man, or anyone for that matter! I just heard the stones playing early takes of sympathy for the devil-it was all acoustic and blew my mind, that available to buy/stream that u know of?

[@harigeorgeson5885]

Terrific breakdown. I thought it sounded great on the J-200.

[@thepaulmacfarlane]

always wondered your favorite ---j200 or D45? (think desert island)

[@jamesjames9275]

I'll always go with the J200.

[@marcbolan1818]

Mono version is king.

[@jamesjames9275]

Is that the version with the backwards guitar at the end?

[@marcbolan1818]

@@jamesjames9275 Yes.

[@ThaiThom]

Entwistle on bass? I thought it was Jonesy!

[@ronaldwilliams2456]

John Paul Jones is on bass.

[@denniskelley130]

Dude how maney gitfiddles u got?

[@jamesjames9275]

Nearly enough.

[@jeffb4881]

I think Radiohead stole the riff from this song on the paranoid android tune

[@cookmoore3736]

I thought so too :)
