Jeff Beck was light years ahead of his time. We were so blessed to have him here on earth for a little while. Stanley Clarke a fellow grandmaster and living legend. Thanks for this. Amazing.

[@JasonSmith-jr7jh]

You speak truth and wisdom.

[@anthonyfesta7010]

Jeff never stoped evolving as a guitarist. RIP JB, Thanks for all the amazing music you left us.💔

[@terrydactyl868]

When Jeff was truly enjoying himself, he played without thinking, and with some of the world's greatest musicians of the era on stage with him we were treated to a magical spiritual awakening. Thank you Jeff, it was a hell of a ride🎸

[@Ppuffdiddleydangdoof]

Well said! As a guitarist, I know that one of the greatest feelings ever is ceasing thinking, opening up and letting it happen. Eric Clapton said of SRV "He was a wide open channel. He channeled the music", and I think he's right. At my level, that channeling happens in fleeting bursts but it's indescribably wonderful. It's a feeling of oneness with everything. It is the dragon I chase every time I practice. Jeff Beck is uniquely gifted and maybe the greatest guitarist of all time, IMO, but he didn't get there by solely his own efforts. I think that he too is a wide open channel. And once you've found that ability and experienced that feeling, why would you do anything else?

[@wolfie322]

I seen him four times in Minneapolis, always with a different band, he only played with people he loved, a true legend 🎸 one of the few that never sold his soul..

Jeff Beck constantly evolved over 60 years, never looking back! Of the Fender Stratocaster, I can’t name any guitarist who used it more thoroughly and squeezed every bit of music out of one like Jeff… RIP Jeff Beck!

[@graemeyetts3465]

There's nobody. Notable mentions: John McClaughlin, Alan Holdsworth and Stanley Jordan. Jeff was the best and most interesting electric guitarist I ever heard. It must remain subjective, but I've heard and seen very many. ❤

[@gregalex6684]

as a musician of many years myself, someone show me how they can do it better than Jeff. I have heard thousands of guitarist and not one can do what Jeff does, and those who think they can can't. he is a true virtuoso and he earned every bit of it!

[@stubhead]

...Those who think they can can't... oddly, the ones who think they can be themselves well can do that better than Beck! HE is kind of a head case, and, like McLaughlin, if you pretty much INSIST on doing things differently every time out, some of that will match up with certain listeners sometimes better than others. I no longer just auto-buy EVERY McLaughlin CD, and I don't think I've spun "Beck goes to the Opera" more than a few times. But with both these guys, they KNOW they're headcases too, and plan accordingly. How many times can you re-write Blue Wind anyway.

He just gets better and better, and he plays with the best musicians too. Not just any old back up band or rhythm section.

UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING!!! RIP JEFF BECK!!! I'm watching / listening to this for the second time in a row ... Am I imagining things - or do I see a pick very briefly in Jeff's right hand, particularly during the lightning-fast single notes, for "Scatterbrain"? Regardless, this is a Jazz / Rock Fusion tour de force!!! I loved Jeff since I was a little kid in the mid 1960's when he was in the Yardbirds ... Every evolution of his musical choices and guitar style has been a revelation and delight to me ... I saw him five times - the last time being with Stevie Ray Vaughn in 1989 in St Louis ... It seemed like he never got old - and he NEVER LOST HIS GUITAR PROWESS!!!

This little performance of Jazz was nothing less than a Musical Treasure; with every musician bringing the best out of each other. The duet between Jeff Beck, and Stanley Clarke was extraordinary. I never heard Jeff Beck go totally Jazz. There's one recording that's totally instrumental, where he combines Jazz with R&R. The way that this Great Guitarist evolved truly Amazes me, as I'm sure it constantly does others...

[@tedcabana]

Jeff has been blowing minds for over 50 years and still going strong. His style of playing can only be described simple as...Beck! I would have to say his is the most accomplished guitarist (ever)! No-one has a more recognizable touch and feel as Beck.

Man!!! Do I ever love Jeff Beck!! I have followed him since the Yardbird days, even before Page joined them. I have seen him 3 times since "Wired" and he NEVER disappoints. Such a great talent and the music still makes my brain flow. He was one of the reasons I picked up a guitar, but to be able to play some of his songs would be like taking a trip into space (thank goodness for air guitar.... and even after a couple of tunes, I'm out of breath). He's always been in my top 3 list, and whenever he plays, he looks like he is enjoying himself so much. Thank you Jeff.
