RIP Jeff. You were probably the most talented electric guitar player to walk this planet. Certainly one of the most innovative and creative, who always thrived to push the limits of the electric guitar. May God welcome you in His Kingdom. You will forever be remembered down here.

[@bobbeck5866]

Equal in ability to Chet Atkins

I am pretty sure that based on evangelical Christian tenets Jeff will be enjoying himself along with Jimi, Bonzo and John Entwhistle and all the other rock ‘n’ rollers in ‘the other place’

I see videos of insanely fast, clean shredders all the time. For 30 seconds I'm impressed, then I'm bored. What I never get tired of is guitar playing that tells a story and gives voice to some emotion. After 49 years of listening to David Gilmour, I still get blown away every time I hear him play.

[@tommyrawlings3046]

Bingo!

[@jje8460]

Same

[@jonathansloane702]

Yeah, speed ain't nothing without class. I had a guitar teacher 50 years ago who could shred Flight of the Bumblebee (George Bien, he has a video on KZbin) but he told me he has to try to be faster than everybody else because nobody could get more sound out of one bent note than David Gilmour.

Can you imagine being there? You're in the Royal Albert Hall, feeling lucky you got a ticket to see legendary guitarist Jeff Beck, and thinking life can't get any better. Then you see a familiar form walk onto the stage from the shadows, carrying a black Strat, and you realize it's legendary guitarist David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. Then you think to yourself, "Lord, just take me now, because life can't possibly get any better".

[@bojangles6444]

This sounds a little creepy though is he offering to take you? I really hope not- dont go with him he wants to take you. Be careful you never know these days 😂

[@Chris-kr2rn]

Fast forward in 2022. Royal Albert hall. Feeling lucky to see legendary guitarist Jeff Beck and thinking of life can’t get any better . Then you see a familiar form walking on stage . You start trembling. God, please, please no. It is bloody Johny Depp. Good Lord , what have I done ????

[@bojangles6444]

@@Chris-kr2rn look at it this way you can trick a girl into going with you to see the “Johnny Depp Concert.” Try getting a date to see Jeff Beck in comparison. Or maybe even convince your gf or wife to go if you have one. Think of it this way and it’s not such a bad idea. I guarantee you a lot of girls would go who don’t know who Jeff Beck is. You can handle one song lol.

Yeah, that stood out immediately. Was waiting to hear David and in comes Jeff. Professional musicians, best of the best.

David Gilmour is solid proof that fast shredding isn't what players should practice. Slow, meaningful lead guitar and great tone are far more pleasing the ears. .

Man who created the genre of his own. Man who was the guiding light for the others. Man who proved that you can get better and try new ways at any age. Man who didn't try to get all the money and fame in the world. Man who knew his strong and weak sides. Man who was humble and let his partners shine. Thank you for all your music and inspiration. RIP, Jeff.

[@philipatoz]

These two have such great ears for tone, feel and taste - they simply are the best of the best! And while David isn't the technical wizard Beck is, his playing is just as astonishingly musical and beautiful. Gilmour can absolutely blow you away with three notes played in just the right place, in just the right way.

[@yogibear9607]

BAh! Beck could never bend the strings like David! Who’s playing with who?! ;)

[@louise_rose]

Agree of course, they're immediately recognizable by their tone and the way they'll tweak a melody. Also, the impact of "Albatross" (often cited by Gilmour as an influence on him) is clearly heard here!

I went to a concert several years ago and there were several rock mega guitar stars there including Beck. I don’t want to turn this into a bash the rock star comment so I won’t use their names, but Beck blew them all away. His skill level and artistic skills were just so much more developed. He included pinch harmonics and the notes, feedback wise on his amp, to craft his phrases. I mean I still liked hearing several of the rock hits too but Beck took it to the next level. Gilmour was definitely an excellent artistic match with Beck skill wise and talent wise. Btw, Gilmour wasn’t at that concert I mentioned earlier. Hat’s off to these two ❗️

Two lovely lyrical guitarists

[@TruthBeTold121212]

The song Jerusalem is a popular hymn, sung in churches, schools, as the anthem of the Women’s Institute and at sporting events across England and many consider it to be the unofficial English anthem. Sir Hubert Parry wrote the music for Jerusalem. The hymn was originally penned as a poem by William Blake in 1804, but the lyrics were added to Parry’s music in 1916 during the gloom of World War I when the uplifting new English hymn was well received. It is a fitting anthem of democratic vision, aspiration and equality here in America also, in these turbulent times of hate and divisiveness.

[@Fresh4220]

Living legends, already then. Now only one remains. There already were only a few of the greatest guitar players of all time who brought beauty in music through the instrument.

[@rickyallen8312]

Both humble .... so they see each other as an equal instead of a competitor. What a lovely piece of work!

[@olgierdogden4742]

“And in those days.” If you can’t mix Rock and Classical Music including a hymn, and appreciate the zeal that these men have invested their souls into a radical approach to the appreciation of good music then all contemporary music is either dead or the audience died many years before Jeff did. And Jeff is currently collaborating right now behind those Pearly Gates with all who has gone before. Blessings sent. And Dave thankyou as well. It must be The Greatest Gig in Heaven right now and I’ve got to go. Please let me in!
