[@stanesposito2664]

He was my favorite musician. I still can't believe he's gone. Nobody can play ballads like him and his trem work is out of this world. RIP Jeff! 😢

[@Ethanjones]

Nobody can play anything like him.

[@alexandermikoyan9171]

I watch that clip and I start crying. Jeff Beck - you are genius.

[@jasonralph4286]

Live at Ronnie Scotts must have played a hundred times in my living room. I'm still filled with sadness that he was taken so suddenly. Thank god we have his library of amazing music to remember his incredible talent

[@jasonsapp792]

Absolutely the best live performance I can think of from anyone ... His music was so "take off running" ... Not much counting in on a Jeff Beck song... I am also greatly sad of his passing... I also have the DVD in my player in my guitar room ... I watch it over and over without being bored

[@tomneil6830]

That video is only one of two that I keep local on my phone. The other is Concert for George

[@melodymakermark]

That week of shows was Jeff at his finest. He was having a ball on his home turf with an amazing group of players. I saw him live in 2019, 5th row, right in front of him. I had to really shake up my schedule to make it happen, and almost didn’t. So glad I did. Sure never figured that would be my last opportunity. 😔

[@user-sk3pc8gv8z]

Saw him at ,The Horden Pavilion in Sydney around 76, he was so good I went and bought tickets for the following night. "Unforgettable".

[@MyLifEcademy-sr4hy]

Amen...

[@vhollund]

And Jeff is not only using the vibrato to play melodies, he is using the volume knob for violining in the same time Pure acrobatics and testimony to his originality

[@hectorchavez3405]

He took some idea from Roy Buchanan I believe , regardless just incredible control of the guitar

[@abrigospardos]

Exactly: he used the volume knob in a similar way to Roy Buchanan's, to whom the song is dedicated.

[@kellyswoodyard]

Saw Jeff Beck live twice. Totally blown away both times. We lost a good one there. R.I.P. mate.

[@Alienkiwi730]

I saw him back in 09 with his Ronnie Scotts line up. Insane!

[@donperea9275]

I copied as best I could what Mr. Beck did with 'caused we've ended as lovers' when it was current and I've been playng it ever since. He taught me more with that song than any other song that I ever learned. I'm 67 now, and have played since I was 11. I learned from copying everbody and wearing out records moving the needle back over and over. That's how I learned from Jeff Beck. Still on a level of his own. Thanks, Tim!!

[@brettneedham392]

I’ve lived a similar story with this tune. Floored me when I heard it at 12; I’ve been playing along to it ever since (I’m 60).

[@guitphil]

Ditto this ^^^^ 67 too and immersed myself in JB early on and was fortunate enough to be in bands that could go along with playing many of these tunes.

[@allancerf9038]

Surprised since you were obviously doing your recording copying (literally in your case) in the '70's you didn't use a cassette tape recorder - much easier than records. Regardless - whatever you did worked for you!

[@ZigbertD]

The greatest gift Jeff Beck's music gives to me is that a thirty second clip of him playing will inspire me to pick up my guitar and play for a couple of hours, without fail. Every note he plays is a reminder of how much beauty and joy this instrument can summon, and the infinite depth of expression and color it is capable of producing. One need only be oneself, be still, listen with a caring ear and mind, and let your musical intuition guide you there.

[@carnivaltym]

Well said!

[@stevenlewis4376]

It's incredible that his latest performances of the song were even better than the recorded version. He just got better and better. He sounded more like a human voice than any other guitar player. For me, he is the GOAT.

[@eldorod]

most people can't even play anymore at 78. Beck was better than ever. Even if you compare back to performances of 10 years ago, he was better in 2021.

[@FredCarpenter-pb6bd]

I thought Baphomet was the GOAT.

[@edc3093]

I have been a MasterClass Member for 1-1/2 years. It is a tremendous value for the price of admission. Tim is an amazing teacher.

[@buckbreaker5185]

honestly thinking about doing it

[@MakingFunOfBusiness7in]

You said master

[@stickman55100]

Jeff Beck was one of the most inventive and spectacular guitarists of all time. One of a kind player and brilliant improviser. Love that solo from Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers. Such a great song.

[@frankrichards3089]

Lukather always plays a very nice interpretation of Jeff's tunes.

[@davedecker1725]

Check out Greg Koch's version of cause we've....

[@carlosgaspar8447]

how about having johnny marr play beck in a biopic.

[@mathtrixmusiclix4248]

Saw him many times. Last time was 3 months before he passed. Also saw him years before opening for Santana. He used that guitar. RIP JB

[@jrm2fla]

“Cos we’ve ended as lovers”… oh man…. Blow by blow and wired are two of the greatest albums ever… the songs (compositions and arrangements), artists and playing are all superb

[@lauriecarter8931]

Yeah forsure my favourites to.

[@midnightblues717]

"Where Were You" is one of my all-time favorite songs that Mr. Beck did. Really, one of my all-time favorite songs period. There was/is no one like him. RIP. 😥

[@stevenpipes1555]

My big brother took me to see Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray not long before Stevie died. When Jeff played that song that night it was SO loud but so delicate. It was a beautiful summer night and the cool breeze was blowing through the arena after a hot day. That whole atmosphere, with the music and everything gave me goosebumps that didn't go away for about an hour. Every time I hear it now it gives me goose bumps all over again. Thanks for playing it for us.

[@garypollard1821]

I'm a non guitar player, and a non musician, but I was captivated listening to this chap. He speaks a different language to all but skilled musicians, but even as an interloper I can take real enjoyment from listening to an expert enjoying his craft. Bravo🙂

[@jeffsperandio8551]

Jeff Beck is one of a kind, what a beautiful player and unique touch he had😢

[@patrickstamper6789]

My first live Tim event - thank you for the lessons my man!

[@timpierceguitar]

Very welcome!

[@homeofcreation]

Kudos for your work on the best album ever: Amused to Death. With Jeff Beck's best solos (heart breaking even on the ballad of Bill Hubbart) ever.

[@dolly5279]

Thank you Tim Pierce for explaining in detail just what Jeff Beck played, and what certain notes and phrases because of his determination, probably with some guitar that he had tried to make when he was young; he was so determined to control certain notes , that he became very good at doing the impossible. He did that quite a lot , because he could. He was so determined, that he never gave up. Cynthia Allen-McLaglen

[@michael11598]

As amazing as that clip of "Where Were You" is, the one on his Live at Ronnie Scott's DVD is even more amazing.

[@timpierceguitar]

Thanks for the comment. I'll have to check it out. :-)

[@michael11598]

@timpierceguitar Thanks for the reply, and for the great content on your channel.

[@Wileylikethehawk]

@@timpierceguitarThe Ronnie Scott version of that tune is absolutely beyond belief. Maybe the most incredible display of guitar mastery captured on film.

[@F1083]

It is from his 89 studio LP Guitar Shop There are people un familiar with Guitar Shop?

[@jbognap]

Almost as amazing is JB's ability to pull every harmonic - especially at the 2nd fret!!!

[@austinhealey5158]

Hey Tim I am pretty sure Seymour built 2 tele bibs.. One with a Gibson tunamatic/stop tail peice and one with a chopped down tele bridge... The one the late JB received from Seymour had the chopped down tele bridge.

[@timpierceguitar]

That makes sense. Judging by the pictures you see online. Thanks for the comment :-)

[@RiffChord]

Thanks for the free lessons and explaining Jeff Becks mastermpiece

[@BrienCarr]

That excerpt was the epitome of Jeffs talent. I saw him on the blow by blow tour and instantly knew he was a master. I never have seen that cli before. Thank you for posting it.

[@inlikeflynt56]

I saw the Master in 1980 There and Back Tour. Never seen a concert better than that. R. I. P. Jeff will never be another like you.

[@iloveaviation-burgerclub-a8145]

Hooked to our show even when late. Joy to watch you showing us your pockets.❤Thanks mate.

[@RareMaestro]

The phrase "make the guitar sing" takes on a whole new meaning when he does it. Think that is the first time I have ever heard a guitar actually sing! Totally incredible!

[@jfjewell]

What a GREAT broadcast. Loved it!!!!

[@craiger2399]

That section where you labeled the sections of the solo: fast, melodic, strange, etc. blew my mind. Awesome playing and great insights as always Tim!

[@EddieG1888]

That clip of him playing in front of the audience is utterly astonishing. The kind of playing that involuntarily brings tears to your eyes. What a musician.

[@mickstick]

"Let me love you" from the album "Truth" still floors me, just a killer tone!!

[@geraldhinson]

His solo on Bon Jovi’s “Blaze of Glory” is also a work of art. Amazing technique in that solo.

[@dustinbrummett3774]

That Leslie affect is pretty dang good

[@TbonePlummer]

@Tim - check out Chris Buck and how he stores his pick to move between fingers and pick

[@johnscullion3656]

The essence is this: it is not the guitar, it is the musician whose hands are on it, the moment. The Jeff Beck contribution to the track 'Lookin' for Another Pure Love' in Stevie Wonder's Talking Book is Mastery. No amount of analysis/paralysis will ever capture that. Nobody ever can replicate such a capture. ( imho) All this is - is 'following the scent' of genius. How sweet is that!

[@SLAYERSWINE1]

Jeff Beck was, is, & will ALWAYS be my favorite guitarist. Saw him 15 times. His playing puts me in a place no other musician can. The day he died devastated me. Cried like a baby all day/night.

[@robertsieradzki2336]

thank you Tim, great to watch

[@jeremeydonovan8286]

You were on fire today! I only saw the end live but I’m watching it now and you gave us an amazing show today Tim thank you!

[@gcharouhas]

"A land mine to be stepped on or an opportunity to be taken". Brilliant. Thank you for your amazing insights.

[@chuckbouscaren3898]

Another great episode Tim, thank you for everything you do!

[@user-uw6xi9lq8d]

What a wonderful video. Full of insight and inspiration. Thank you!

[@mr.crapper7197]

How could I not give you a thumbs up Tim. Every one of your Videos are exceptional.

[@andrewchamberlin8180]

Really enjoyed the show, as informative as it is musically, the class and style are all there. There.

[@JohnDeWeese-lq4pf]

I love that Blow by Blow LP. He was an amazing guitarist. Years ahead of his time. Thanks for the memories Tim! Love your show.

[@daveneumann6361]

Tim Pierce Guitar Thanks Tim I needed this lesson to remind myself of some important stuff. I met Jeff in 2009 such a lovely guy in person, with a great sense of humour.

[@SamWattRock]

Breath taking, heart breaking, and tear making!

[@rubito7845]

Beck‘s Guitar Shop was my first „real“ introduction to his art, back in 89. „Where were you“ really was sort of unreal (This was before you could see how it is done, besides the impossibility that Tim is mentioning).

[@davecollins6792]

Same here got the cd when it came out, still have it

[@frankrichards3089]

Yes that progression is truly magical.

[@jasonsapp792]

Tim that Singlecut is absolutely beautiful...big fan of that guitar!! Thanks for this spotlight on Beck...what a loss we all share

[@54fighting5]

Great video Tim, as always. I love your insights into these songs and how they came to be.

[@showbiz5776]

Always informative and forever over the top guitar playing!

[@pipedreamfretworks]

Awesome. Thanks Tim!

[@edwardmolinary4890]

Where Were You...❤ Wore this record out when it was released !!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@gryzew]

Thanks for 6:51 the very rare footage of Jeff Beck on stage wearing a shirt with any kind of sleeves for the last time ever.

[@craigmccolm285]

Beautiful tones, way over my head.

[@DavidSantos-rn1sp]

talking about the greats, you are one of them .whish i could learn from you.respect.

[@nedbressler3234]

The Best, thanks Tim

[@augustusbetucius2931]

What was cool was seeing JB play "Where Were You" live with Bozzio and Co. on the Guitar Shop tour. Man...

[@timdowling8902]

What are talent you are? I only discovered you a few months ago. There’s only one word to describe you brilliant at what you do. I do like the way you slow things down. Keep on rocking. I’ll keep watching. Thank you. Priceless.

[@johnhendricks8140]

Love when great musicians come together, Jeff Beck and Stevie Wonder, best ever. Great lesson on playing changes for sure.

[@johndance1362]

Thanks Tim for all that you share!😸

[@caprise-music6722]

Great video! Thank you!

[@eddiepierce7028]

My absolute favorite instrumental!! You can almost hear the words.

[@MichaelAntus]

Always interesting. Much respect Tim...

[@acidbran]

He was one of a kind, my favorite guitarist.

[@gimmeagig]

What a great lesson! Thank you

[@MichaelSDoran]

I'm so glad you did this. This track is one of greatest bits of music ever and I only recently had discovered Beck played it on the guitar Duncan made for him. It is all so sweet sounding!

[@frankrichards3089]

Great rundown of one of Beck's greatest, thanks Tim!

[@johngraves2185]

One of the best musicians/guitarist that we’ll ever know. Just amazing! Tim, nice seeing the Naylor in the line up again, one of my personal favorites and my main amp.

[@ewaldnickl8866]

this are so interesting backround informations , really an inspiration

[@Fugettaboutit]

The Tele-Gib is definitely my favorite of his guitars. What an extraordinary player. Greg Koch does a great version of this. When he played it at Policeman's Ball...man...so fortunate that was captured on film. It's not a long song, but just proved he was one of the absolute best. It was like watching/hearing Paganini.

[@allenlocke1935]

Bravo! Bravo!!

[@xxMoinxx]

Thank you Tim

[@aquamarine99911]

My only Jeff Beck album, and my favorite (everybody's favorite) song from that album. Thanks for the story,

[@sarge7string232]

Great teacher great player ..& i LOVE Guitarland .

[@mjf1036]

Jeff, though well known, has always been a mystery to me. Only because I did not dig into his recordings. I just download this tune while watching you and will practice it! Thanks Tim!

[@user-lt1dd7pm9f]

Thank youbec for showing us this. Jeff Beck was otherworldly!

[@robertvance1873]

I've enjoyed your playing Tim for many years one of my favorite moments was during your time with Rick Springfield and the Concert The Beat Of The Live Drum.

[@flavioschifano1662]

Grazie Tim 🎸

[@Yowie722]

So good!!

[@budrizzo8167]

Truly one of the best guitar solos ever.

[@johnjames1813]

Great stuff!!!

[@JohnCarroll]

Guitarland has been my favorite guitar record for the last few years. I first heard about from a Shawn Tubbs post. It's just perfect! Wonderful blend of melody and chops!! Very inspiring.

[@jonnybeck6723]

Thanx Tim

[@dmljones2550]

Excellent presentation Tim to a legendary tune by Jeff Back. I particularly love your explanation of the lead notes over the chords to ‘Because We were Lovers’. I also like your style generally talking between chord breaks with key changes and your very personal, positive approach. Boy you really have to love the sound of Jeff Beck on the film clip playing with his thumb with precision and basically using his hand to pull up the tremolo bar, to make the pitch of the note higher. All the notes are I feel in minor key. I wonder if Jeff Beck considered playing jazz - he would be good.

[@dennisrohm6372]

Tim you're the man!

[@flybybaby8008]

Tim- Kudos and my sincerest thanks for all you do! Was amazed to learn that the neck pickup trick is a new discovery for you, as it was one of the first things I learned some 50+ years ago. Unfortunately (at least for me, and without a doubt fortunately for the rest of humanity) it turned out that I'm by far a better technician than an actual guitar player! Again, my sincerest gratit😮ude for your many talents and expertise that you continue to grace us with. -E-

[@robraaiii]

WOW! I’ve not seen that performance from Beck… 😳 Has to be one of the most impressive displays of skill I’ve ever seen.

[@steverolfeca]

I remember being blown away the first time I heard the crazy whammy arpeggios in Where Were You, and all over again when I realized he could consistently play it live. Superhuman!

[@Fractaphonic]

I love the whole of the Guitar Shop album that Where Were You comes from, a real showcase for his command of the guitar.

[@andyharman3022]

Jeff regularly created songs that made the angels cry: Definitely Maybe, Where Were You, The Final Peace, and Suspension come quickly to mind. I love to take late night drives, turn off the dash lights, and put Suspension on repeat. It cleanses the soul.

[@songsbyed9763]

Damn Tim This episode is as good as it can possibly get. Thank you 😎🤙

[@lauriecarter8931]

What a master Jeff Beck !! Wow great story that was,such wicked guitaring Cause we ended lovers.

[@grahamrouse4665]

Tim you could play anything and sound amazing.

[@Wileylikethehawk]

Had a Tele-gib built a couple years back and it’s fantastic. I put the SD “Concept Set” pickups in it which are designed to be just like the original Tele-gib pickups and they rule. I recommend them to anyone.

[@tonyevans9999]

Magical

[@MobilMobil-kv5ke]

Let me share an observation about you, Tim. A lot of guitarists play and their facial expressions and body language is an extension of the music they are playing. Examples are scrunching the shoulders, pursing the lips, arching the eyebrows. When I watch you I see the pure joy of the music coming out of your guitar. It’s refreshing. It always lifts my mood to watch you play.

[@dahmanbeck5256]

Wonderful video ❤

[@livekaos]

Not only Jeff is working with the whammy bar he is also riding the volume knob

[@ElmanAuthement]

Wow, was this a guitar lesson or a music history class? Mind blown!

[@johnv4866]

I was in middle school when Blow by Blow and Wired came out. I shed a few tears when I heard of his passing ❤
