Besides his phenomenal guitar playing. Jeff Beck became to rock what Miles Davis was to jazz , and John Mayall was to the British blues scene. Many young and future stars went through their bands as a proving ground for future bands. He was more then a legend, and innovative guitar virtuoso. He was a great band leader who gave a lot of young musicians a chance to stretch out and find there own voice in music. Thanks Fil. Peace.

I twice had the privilege of seeing Jeff Beck perform in person. The first was in the 1970s in Buffalo, N.Y. when he shared the bill with John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. The second time was in the 1990s at Darien Lake, N.Y. along with Carlos Santana. Jeff Beck was magnificent both times. There is absolutely no one who will be able to replace him.

I am a long time fan of Jeff Beck. I was fortunate to see him a few times live , most recently with Johnny Depp. Jeff lived such a healthy lifestyle & he looked so great that his death was shocking & heartbreaking to me.

[@grsministries9830]

Agree completely! Fil does a great job trying to explain Beck's vibrato in comparing it to a human voice. Guitar vibrato bends up in pitch only (because the string is tightened). Wammy bars typically bend down but Jeff rigged his to bend UP and DOWN, so the fluctuation between highs and lows are more natural - like a human voice! Genius! Then he took the whole innovation to another level with beautiful songs like Where Were You and Two Rivers, and on and on...I enjoy watching both of his hands when he plays. I love that you can appreciate him as a non-guitarist, maybe he'll inspire you to play one day. I've been playing on and off for 30 years and learned lots of Beck riffs but there is no way I am even 1-2% as good as him. However, it has helped me be a better all around guitar player and develop my own style and expression knowing what the guitar is capable of. Sadly, I never got to see him live...kudos to you for that.

[@cindi1313]

I saw a lot of articles referring to Jeff Beck as a virtuoso after his passing, and he was, but he was more than that. He was a true innovator on the guitar, like Hendrix in that way IMO. One of the things that was so cool about Jeff Beck was that he was so imaginative on the guitar, and so absolutely fearless in exploring that imagination. Like you say Fil, he didn't have one sound that he kept through his career like a lot of guitarists, and that is pretty bold. He wasn't afraid to push the envelope. I appreciate this analysis and breaking down some of the subtleties in what he does. We are very fortunate to have lots of videos of his greatness to be able to watch, and I find that with Jeff Beck, maybe more than any other guitarist, I want to see what the heck it is that he's doing to get the sound he does, so that is a great thing.

If there was a tribute concert honouring Jeff Beck, it would be difficult to do, because Jeff Beck has such a unique guitar style. When I listen to Jeff Beck, every single note he plays has such an emotional quality to it. I can see why Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page had admiration for Jeff Beck. His playing in The Yardbirds was what took the band to the next level. Anything Jeff Beck did, musically, was incredible. Cheers, Fil! ✌️

I saw Jeff live this past October here in NY. Mind you I grew up with Live at Ronnie Scott’s as the gold standard for great guitar playing. He was literally a childhood hero of mine. Almost 20 years after that Ronnie Scott’s show was filmed as I sat watching him live, he played with the exact same level of energy, creativity and imagination. When he played “‘Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers,” my jaw literally dropped. It was the absolute best i had EVER heard that song played, and I was witnessing it right in front of me in person. I was so gutted and shellshocked to hear about his death. I didn’t believe it at first. A huge part of my life is gone now.

[@Rassskle]

I guess at his peek Peter Green never touched the volume knob while using the whammy bar....... That’s because he didn’t need a whammy bar until drugs took his skills into a downhill slide. But Peter Green did the same with his fingers on the strings , constantly changing pickups and fiddling with all the volume and tone knobs. He often altered the tone knob to increase volume..... that I don’t understand, but enjoyed listening to . lol

@@Rassskle These guys have an inborn talent where they intuitively know what to do the sound they are looking for. Beck could play a piece of music, just holding a single note and minute movements of the whammy bar. He might be moving it a thousandth of a cm and get the note he wanted. People are so impressed with playing fast. What Beck, Green, Tommy Emmanuel didn’t shred. Yet what they did was so much more difficult.

[@Rassskle]

@@jnagarya519 You might notice that I never mentioned Clapton. Even John Mayall sacked Clapton at his peak because he wanted Peter Green...... would have been brilliant to hear Clapton playing rhythm to Greens lead. It is true that Peter Green is no Jeff Beck, just as Beck is NO Green. They both did their own thing there own way....... but had the same skills and produced the same audible tricks. The biggest difference was Peter Greens unmatched tone, something Beck either didn’t want , or couldn’t match....... we will never know the truth there. The other difference was Beck used a whammy bar and maybe distortion peddles on the floor ( I hope not ). Peter Green prior to 1971 never used a whammy bar or any floor peddles. Was all in his fingers, control and wrist.

Thank you for this excellent tribute and exploration of Jeff's remarkable abilities. This loss is going to be tough to process, Jeff was still touring and playing at the height of his abilities unlike his peers who have plateaued years ago, stagnated, and declined. Jeff's move to finger picking was brilliant, freeing up his hand and fingers to operate the tremelo and volume knob together while still playing. Plus the added level of control it gave him to attack the strings. But beyond his considerable technique was his melodic sense that he was able to transfer at will through his fingers and hands. He would have been legendary just for his ability to use the whammy bar to create melodies when the vast majority of guitarists simply generate a few changes in pitch or wobbles. Using the tremelo to substitute for bending gave him greater control as without the fatigue of constantly bending on the fretboard.

He was truly a master of his instrument. Every performance was a "painting" with sound, matched perfectly to the sounds created by his accompanying musicians, and especially the vocalist. I am not a musician, so I really appreciate your insight into what is going on here, because it aids me in appreciating the performance even more. The delicate nuances of these performances really make me think of a masterful painter creating an image on canvas, only in this case it is a master artist "painting" a picture in sound while exploring the nearly infinite potential of his instrument. These performances are like reading a great book for the second or third time and discovering new beauty within the words. I have heard some of Jeff Beck's performances dozens of times and never tire of them because they always sound fresh as I perceive subtle sounds I did not catch before. I will NEVER get tired of listening to "Beck's Bolero," for example.

Sadly, once again, another great guitarist and legend leaves us. People think of The Yardbirds (certainly a great band) and Jeff's other groups, but one thing not mentioned is Jeff's 1993 "Crazy Legs" recording where he absolutely and totally nails Cliff Gallup's lead playing that was behind Gene Vincent. It's almost impossible to differentiate Jeff's playing from Cliff's. Jeff intentionally did this not to really copy Cliff but as a tribute to him since Cliff was his idol and early inspiration.

Fil, your introductory remarks completely echoed my own feelings about Jeff and his untimely passing. It just doesn't seem possible that he has left us. Condolences to his widow and all others who loved him.

[@Ohio45545]

Still cannot believe he is gone. Thank you for this wonderful analysis of a Legend.

[@mattkwest468]

Great analysis/explainer/demonstration Fil. Vale Jeff Beck, a true master musician who gave the world so much across the decades.

[@DianeRinella]

Thank you, Fil. In many ways, this was the best tribute to Jeff I’ve seen. So broken hearted over his transition to the beyond.

[@Mr22Johnthegreat]

Thanks for the run down Fil! I was always in amazement of Jeff's sound. He was the only guy other then Hendrix that stumped me as to what he was doing with guitar!

[@MrCherryJuice]

Thank you for this and also for using a clip with Bones, who Jeff loved because they - typically just voice, guitar and drums - reminded him of the sonic rawness and r 'n' b roots of his time with the Yardbirds. There is no overstating Jeff's abilities and importance. Sadly, too much of the music-listening world missed out and much of his finest work has largely been unheard, like the stunning 'Final Peace', the two sublime solos in 'Seasons', the romping remake of 'Rolling & Tumbling', the pseudo salacious 'Dirty Mind', the swaggering swing of 'Hammerhead' and evocative emotion of 'Nessum Dorma'.... His ability to tap into any style and bring to it his own unique voice without compromising the legitimacy of the music was another key quality. And what a fabulous guest was was on record or stage with the likes of Pavarotti, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, John McLaughlin, Pete Townshend, the Stones, Joss Stone, Robert Plant, Brian Wilson, Nitin Sawhney, the Big Town Playboys.... From opera, to EDM, to the blues, funk, fusion, country, rockabilly, hard rock and heavy metal...he could do anything and always deliver the inspired energy and shape-shifting sound like Jeff Beck.

[@infernalstormrider]

JB was great guitarist. Man is gone ,but Jeffs music lives on. There is unbelieveble band on the edge of a cloud. Hendrix,Bonham, Mercury .Burton , SRV....

[@carlnielsen3477]

Great video. I've been a Jeff Beck fan for more than 35 years. Telling about his playing and unique technique is the best tribute. Thanks Fil.

[@cooperdog9956]

For those of us who love music but never dedicated ourselves to learning and playing music I appreciate how you explain "it" to us! Thank you! RIP Jeff Beck

[@Sleepy_Alligator]

Was freshmen in high school 1975, when Blow By Blow was released. It was played to pieces and is forever a part of my musical DNA. Jeff Beck was such a unique and profound talent. Was so brilliant just massaging melody and injecting endless tension and release, producing such dynamic, full sound coming from some magical electronic ether. Genius, the real deal, and a sweet humble guy as well. Huge loss, this one hurts. Interesting, thoughtful analysis as always.

[@susankirkland3852]

Phil this is so great to watch and hear your explanation of Jeff’s sound. You are excellent at demonstrating how the heck he does ‘sing’. Thank you so much. RIP Jeff Beck 👍🙏 incomparable guitar talent… he is definitely a legend

[@paullanoue5228]

Thanks, this is the best video I’ve seen explaining an artist’s style. I always recognized Jeff Beck’s unique sound now I know why.

[@robertbernas1104]

You managed to establish a great perspective on Jeff Beck and his various approaches and evolution as an artist - is why I loved this guys work and his presence- what a run - I hope his family and all us out here reflect in the love strength and inspiration of Jeff Beck 🤙❤️💯

[@damohanson5393]

Had a buddy in high school who had an 8 track in his car and he turned me on to many great artists. We would drive around listening to music smoking pot. 1969 or 70 he popped a tape in and he said you have to listen to this guy. Rod Stewart was lead singer and I think it was called The Jeff Beck group but the guitar playing caught my attention. Very impressed all though I knew he was great he definitely had his own sound. Driving around in a blizzard in Minnesota in 1969 toking up and wow. First , I thought my buddy did it again another band I’d never heard of an second we were young idiots as we got stuck on a back road and luckily we’re in walking distance of another friend who lived in the country. People died in that storm. We definitely had a lot to learn but what a memory. 53 years ago. And Jeff Beck how privileged we were to have the music they now call classic. Oh yeah

[@BarneyAndCoco]

Boy, you do a great job pointing things out to us non musicians so we can appreciate music on a different level. Greatly appreciate what you do. Saw Beck a few times. He was never a show boat and always stayed within the band but he was a lot more than just a guitarist. He was a joint creator of the music and sound we all listen to and enjoy today.

[@user-qe2jg6lm4z]

Thanks Fil, this is a wonderful performance by Jeff Beck. Very interesting to get some insight into how he got that sound.

[@susankirkland3852]

Really enjoyed this and was so glad to find you created this as a tribute to Jeff Beck RIP Jeff Beck ❤🙏🎶🙏

[@steveschlissel2856]

Just wanted to say that you have given us yet another instance of how unique and profitable it is to hang with you this way. You bring me back to the times when a new Beatles album came out, and we'd bring it over to the music lover in our circle with best sound system and listen and talk and listen and WOW. How blessed that you have no ego-directed envy-laden trash talk, but a time wholly devoted to sharing, teaching, appreciating and helping all of us grow as we could NOT without you. You are a peaceful treasure. Thank you for your care, your labors, your generosity. Thank you very much.

[@danielcombs3207]

Thank you so much, that was a wonderful breakdown of Jeff’s performance technique. He was incredibly gifted and creative over the decades never content to be pigeonholed he kept evolving his sound and technique. It’s very hard to comprehend that he left us in a abrupt manner. Deepest condolences to his wife,family, friends &fans. R.I.P. Jeff
