Jeff said in an interview that he practiced an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. Jeff slept with a guitar by his bedside in case he got inspiration . Jeff was a trail blazer who followed his own creative path and a true master of his instrument .🎸💫🎼⭐️

[@bretthetherington899]

An absolute master, yes. But he nearly gave it all up to play synth after being smitten with another Jan Hammer, keyboard whizz.

[@j.kevvideoproductions.6463]

God bless him. He was a Bach, Beethoven, Mozart level genius. So underappreciated. He was not a great composer, but he was one of the greatest interpreters and virtuoso's of all time. Jimmy Page was ranked #3 by Rolling Stone Beck was ranked # 5. I would however move Eric Clapton from # 2 to like 10 or 11. Beck should be #2 after Hendrix, Then Page, then Stevie Ray. Prince, maybe #5.

Interesting how this comments section has become an homage to Jeff Beck himself, since this tune is a Charles Mingus tribute to Lester Young. I get it, as this was posted just after his death, and Beck was arguably one of the three greatest guitarists of my lifetime so far, along with John McLaughlin and Alan Holdsworth. I just find that this tune is also a great tune to use to remind us all not only of Jeff Beck's amazing virtuosity but also of the excellent compositional genius of Charles Mingus who obviously very much loved and wished to honor Lester Young, one of the greatest Horn players of all time. There are now so many great versions of this song, and this one absolutely stands out! RIP Messrs. Beck, Mingus and Young and thanks to you all!

Apparently along with spelling, reading comprehension is not your forte (you may want to look that word and many others up in the dictionary). Just because you know a few things and felt compelled to add those in a snarky condescending manner to my post does not mean that MY post is lacking any information, considering it was MY post and I shared EXACTLY WHAT I intended! I never once intimated (again, use the dictionary) that McLaughlin's and Beck's versions were similar and over and over again, I praise Jeff Beck and his virtuosity in MY post. I also said his version absolutely stands out! Just wtf post were you reading, anyway? Obviously, NOT mine! The word chord is spelled "CHORD,". not cord, btw ... really, if your are going to comment on music, especially to criticize someone else's post, the least you can do is use spell check or learn to spell. I play and compose on several instruments, have been writing songs for nearly fifty years and have won awards ... multiple.

[@melomane2010]

There's so much technical and artistic mastery on display here that it's hard to know where to begin. First, Beck is still and will always be the coolest cat in the room. That's not controversial, I'd think Led Zep and the Stones would be the first to tell you the same thing. You can just look at Beck and can see how he is completed by the guitar. It's part of him. The way he conveys emotion with dynamics, pitch, and speed is the gold standard for all musicians - you aspire to have that much control over your instrument that it plays whatever you're thinking at any given moment - a perfect conduit.

[@Gregorydrobny]

"I'd think Led Zep and the Stones would be the first to tell you the same thing." The fact that Robert Plant can be seen in the back of the room grooving to this song in the video lends to suggesting you are exactly right.

He made me take fusion serious for the first time as a teenager. I think it’s Vinnie Colaiuta on drums- the greatest drummer of all time possibly. He has no problem taking the back seat in a gig like this and when he played with Sting. He can play anything, including a simple beat. A true rarity. A great drummer knows when it’s their job to keep time and when it’s time for them to shine. Dave Weckl can’t play this gig, imagine the guy from Dream Theater lol. When I saw Beck live my only problem was sometimes his band covered him up. Might have been the acoustics it was a symphony hall too much echo. He had a dif band not as good as this one. I think it was 99 or 2000.

Totally, and the comparison with Sinatra is spot on too

[@michaelkregness8338]

The first time I heard "Truth" by Mr Beck I knew I was hearing someone special, that was 1969, I just played it again... sounds like 1969.... Virtuosity... RIP Mr. Beck, RIP.

[@RobertWeingher]

The whole track is magic done by a guitar player, nothing more to say, jeff beck is a magician

[@georgepeacock7739]

A master craftsman in complete control of every nuance. Beautiful and extraordinarily exceptional!

[@2wayplebney]

I'm here to honour Jeff at Andy Edwards' bidding. So long, Mr Beck. You were Jimi's favourite, and John's, and so many more of us. RIP, sir.

INSUPERABLE !!...A 2 MESES DE SU ANIVERSARIO DE IR AL CIELO...SIGUE DOLIENDO TANTO...

[@williammcbreen5220]

Nobody, but nobody- can do it like this man

[@calebproductions5970]

Steve lukather from Toto said the same thing

[@ComradeStiv]

Mischievous and cheeky for life. The cat always knew only one way to play - fresh, imaginative, soulful, honest, and unpredictable. No fronts. I'm here for all of it

[@emlyngriffith5846]

Loved his playing ever since I first heard the "Truth" album.....he can play any type of music. A true guitarist.

[@vs-ww7cb]

I been traveling through sirs music 🎶. This one hits ya hard. RIP my man. Such a powerful control and flow. 🤟 rock on friends.

[@thomasmartinscott]

NOBODY pulls out of a guitar what Jeff does!!! And it's ALL with such feeling!!!

[@josecarlosramolete6109]

That's why Steve Lukather emulated Jeff Beck's whammy style.

[@Synixoddity]

A fluttering array of nuances that coalesce into sonic bliss, with its peaks and valleys you just have to sit back and enjoy the aural landscape he creates.

[@imanihenderson]

I'm 17 years old going to school with kids who only listen to rap.. I know his is something special

[@FranzG1337]

you want a medal or something ?

[@dontknowreally]

Good taste! x

[@dontknowreally]

@FranzG - you take the medal for sheer pointless nastiness.

[@kellyatkins9064]

Yep, this was indeed something special. Maybe the greatest guitarist ever totally in the zone and lighting it up. Jeff's The Master.

[@mikeparkinson3060]

Thank God !!! There is life out there .....

[@billhutchison7078]

I remember when this song came out, and it was one of so many songs that he did in the 70.

[@dienamx6696]

Every lick he plays is timed so perfectly, it's like he's playing so precisely, which I think is what separates him from page and clapton, they are both great players but neither of them have the accuracy or precision of jeff beck, beautiful performance.

[@muimasmacho]

Exatally !!! Beck's timing is perfect. If it is off, it is supposed to be off, and he does off perfectly too. Not so with Clapton and Page. That's not a bad thing. It works for them, in a good way. But there is a difference. Now go listen to *"Whole Lotta Love"* and tell me who YOU actually think it is playing that intro. Check the fingerprints. And that unmistakable tone. 😂 *We KNOW it's Beck, but they'll never admit it.*

[@edwright4857]

Eddie Van Halen ? Similar attributes. Both in a different class

[@dienamx6696]

@@edwright4857 i guess Eddie Van Halen is good example of someone that compares, although both from different eras, but yeah eddie played mostly blues scales/pentatonic, but it was his innovation and technique that set him apart, a lot like jeff beck, both very before their time, so yeah id be inclined to agree tbh, whoever i think beck is more strictly blues roots, where is eddie got a little more wild with it.

5 nights. I bet no 2 nights were the same......ty JB and crew
