FIRST TIME HEARING | Jeff Beck - Nessun Dorma

[@nancyfranchetto938]

So glad you chose this. Jeff does an amazing job on this beautiful Puccini aria. He did classical music way back in the 60’s too (Beck’s Bolero). His guitar was his voice. No one can compare to the talent he has controlling the balance between feedback and perfection with the whammy bar.

[@6gg7hh8ii]

Jeff beck is brilliant. I use to listen to his music when i was a young man in the late 70's and 80's. Sadly to say he passed away in Jan. of this year.

[@eyesofthefox]

Rest in peace to one of the masters of guitar~

[@jamesscura7122]

THE Master.

[@alexaalexa6524]

Yes!!! 🌹🌹👑🌹🌹 🎸

[@dalewalker4666]

Not one of the masters...The Master...!

[@artmanjohn2]

Jeff Beck was one of the greatest Electric Rock & Roll, Blues guitarist to ever live, helped start the whole British Invasion thing back in the mid to late 60s. Unfortunately, he died suddenly from natural causes just a couple months ago. If you liked this song, there is a song that goes, going down the same lane so to speak, that he did with Eric Clapton, "Moon River". It's here on KZbin, Live performance.

[@PeterSokol-bl5vz]

No…he did not die from natural causes….what are you….2.

[@dccrank3557]

Welcome to the electric guitar and what it can do. In the hands of Jeff Beck? OMG. Jeff is beyond.

[@allanpolk2681]

Jeff Beck was never noted for speed (though he was fast) or tagged to any one specific genre of music; he marched to his own beat and the world loved him for it. Jeff's most notable attribute on guitar was his unparalleled technique that was so singularly his own; that famously smooth legato he incorporated into much of his music, and his interpretations of pieces of music, that few even looked at, gave us an insight into the extra flare and appreciation that he had for the versatility of the instrument and his ability to fully display it.

[@BDizzleMySchnizzle]

Never heard a bad note from Beck. Phenomenal guitarist.

[@DonaldHolben]

ONLY Jeff could pull off an instrumental opera piece :)

[@alexaalexa6524]

Oh yeah...performed G.MAHLER...too...👏

[@DonaldHolben]

@@alexaalexa6524 Oh yep!!!!!

[@bretlysle3847]

Check out Larkin Poe's version. 2sisters one on a acoustic guitar and the other on a lap steel, very nice tribute to Jeff Beck.

[@j.kevvideoproductions.6463]

It was indeed "sung" by Jeff Beck. Nothing like being brought to tears at 9:30 in the morning. R.I.P. Jeff.

[@rebeccabush7752]

RIP to an absolute legend.

[@necklix]

Jeff Beck was a friend and the reason I play guitar. He passed away 1/12/23. He is the best there ever was, playing guitar in every genre. For the first 7 albums he put out, he played them all by ear, as he didn’t know the notes on the guitar. George Martin ( the Beatles producer) was the first person Jeff told. George’s mouth dropped. George produced ‘ Blow by Blow’ Jeff’s best selling album. George Martin considered Jeff Beck to be the best guitarist ever, as Jeff played EVERY GENRE. Les Paul ( I’m sure you know who that is) thought Jeff was King of Guitarist, ‘ Jeff has perfect pitch, therefore can play any genre & as for other guitarist , listen and learn.’ Les Paul. Jeff Beck, you will always be extraordinary, and very missed.❤

[@randyeisensmith1483]

I really enjoyed watching you watching this. Jeff and Pavarotti were good friends, having recorded a tribute song to Caruso together. When one of Pavarotti's friends put together a "memorial" concert/tribute for Pavorotti in Italy, all of these opera types were as startled as you were when Jeff came out and blew them away with note-perfect renditions of the kind of music they considered "real music." For Jeff, if he could hear it, he could make his guitar sing it. Again, many thanks for the joy of your reaction.

[@gregthegreek6969]

I will say this. Jeff has ALWAYS Blown Me and the crowd away! He is Different, but EVER-SO-TASTY! You can see it here! GREG

[@Ebut191]

Jeff Beck could leave you teary eyed and choked up with emotion with the beauty of what he played. As this dude just found out. "Where Were You" off the Guitar Shop album will probably leave him a speachless soggy blob in his chair.

[@yodadback]

It sad because Jeff Beck passed away January 10 this year. I am blessed have seen him twice. In the guitar industry he's your favorite guitarists' guitarist and was and is a guitar god. Id suggest his covers of Over the Rainbow, Danny Boy, Sleepwalk and any of his live albums. Especially the the stuff that's been released in the last two to 3 decades.

[@j.kevvideoproductions.6463]

I was blessed to have seen him twice as well. Once in 1976, then much later in 2011. He was actually much better in 2011. He grew and evolved throughout his career.

[@Chessdaddy]

Isn't that just beautiful? Hard to imagine any other rock guitarist even thinking of attempting this piece, let alone doing it so magnificently. Give Beck's version of Nadia, an Indian classical piece, a listen. It's beautiful and amazing.

[@DurggenMsCurggen66]

Another great song he covers on guitar is A Day In The Life by The Beatles. Absolutely astounding.

[@88wildcat]

Also Over the Rainbow and Amazing Grace. Best guitarist I have ever heard and I have heard a lot of them.

[@raymeedc]

Listen to the Live At Ronnie Scott’s video, featured free in parts or whole free on KZbin to get a proper taste...., Beck is at his best when served live. ✅

[@grahamwickens7049]

Jeff Beck , GOAT!! As Jeff Said of Nessum Dorma "Italian Rock and Roll"

[@gregjones861]

Jeff Beck made his guitar sing like a human voice like no one else. Check out Nadia, Where Were You, 'Cuz We've Ended As Lovers, Two Rivers. Oh and his rocking stuff, Shapes Of Things, Beck's Bolero, Big Block, Freeway Jam, Led Boots. You can't go wrong because his entire career was spent innovating.

[@davidbentley145]

I have the cd this is from and it's sound is "stellar!" Ty very much for this brother Boyd!

[@Blue-qr7qe]

The entire Jeff Beck Live from Ronnie Scott's performances (covering three or four nights), and available on KZbin are a listening must. But PLEASE react to Jeff's covers of Stevie Wonder's Cause We Ended as Lovers (Tal Wilkenfeld's bass solo will leave you tasered) and Charles Mingus's Goodbye Pork Pie Hat. You might also want to react to Jeff's cover of Billy Cobham's Stratus, featuring Vinnie Colaiuta. Dive into this magical, magical musical experience -

[@rweishaar1066]

That must have been such a treat for you, hearing one of your favorite pieces played beautifully in a way you haven't heard before and didn't expect!

[@squirrelray1]

I'm late to see this reaction. I didn't see it recommended but i think you should hear Jeff's song "Where were you" in which he is inspired by a Bulgarian women's choir, and "Nadia" in which he covers and amazing Indian piece. Jeff truly was a master.

[@jeffreythaw3333]

Jeff Beck was unique!

[@j4vice]

Jeff Beck is every guitarist's favorite guitarist. THANKS

[@JVTrickypants]

His use and control of the whammy bar, as well as the volume adjustments he makes.....not to mention, ya know, actually crushing the difficult notes.....is what even the best guitarists say they could never come close to doing like he did (RIP).

[@ChrisMythMusic]

Congrats. You now have a wealth of his astounding musical channeling awaiting your ears and soul ❤

[@peterreist2882]

So emotive 🥲

[@geoffbeavis6426]

One of those special tunes, that , get better every time you listen to it.

[@fabiosuttle5926]

this would bring a tear to a glass eye

[@wqnamisanthrope]

That's one of the most enjoyable things about Beck....even when you sorta know what he HAS to play, he always did it in a way that you never see coming.

[@WelshAmethystGirl087]

Jeff is the goat of guitar for me

[@brianjohnson2248]

What a gift...cant teach this...its in your genes

[@danoloane]

First time on your channel. The fact that you love this makes me an instant fan of yours.

[@VegasAlien1]

Jeff was The One.

[@ed.z.]

Phenomenal!!

[@briancotter2666]

You must watch Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scott's. Full show of the Century. OMG

[@scottlounsbury7822]

i never saw a better reaction

[@edreynolds3745]

Thank you for being overwhelmed.

[@roderickburdett-coutts3082]

The studio version, is on his album Emotion and commotion, a true masterpiece! He also performs a cover of Somewhere over the Rainbow . His trademark, is his remarkable control of the whammy bar, he gives each note it’s own unique character.

[@garcianick100]

Check out Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart doing People Get Ready

[@dalewalker4666]

You should try listening to Jeff playing 'A day in the life' by the Beatles...absolutely amazing. That's why for years Jeff never needed a singer as he could make the guitar both talk and sing.

[@DeepCuts1]

You might enjoy Goodbye Pork Pie Hat which was written by Charles Mingus as a tribute to Lester Young. It’s on Jeff Beck’s album “Wired”

[@BrianBarringer-n2i]

His greatest hits would be a 2 album set, almost each & every song being a new genre, fusion, masterpiece & classic or something new. jomo

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

RIP Jeff Beck & Pavarotti

[@Cashcrop54]

He plays this using the whammy bar to get such great emotion in each note.

[@dannymoore6886]

Jeff won't sing it but his guitar will.

[@shanemcconnell1736]

Thanks for making Jeff left-handed if just for one song

[@user-vv9it9ye4g]

I just pulled over in my car to watch your reaction to this which was quite touching actually. I know this was a while ago so maybe you've listened to more Jeff Beck but please check out Cause We've Ended as Lovers specifically live at Ronnie Scott's. I don't know you, but I do know you'll enjoy it!

[@DonaldHolben]

More!! Should check out His version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow!! Pavaroti and jeff recorded a tune together. Caruso i think.

[@1960taylor]

Guitar players call Jeff the GOAT

[@grahamwickens7049]

you should listen to the cd "Emotion and commotion" by jeff Beck, lots of instrumental stuff

[@arrjay2662]

Weren't Jeff Becks parents his classical influence?

[@brianrussell6570]

wAS the master ...beyond everyone elsr...but hes gone

[@Teddytrick62]

Nadia , you need to hear Nadia . Oh my goodness .

[@vics8873]

Puccini's name is pronounced ja-ka-mo, not ge-a-co-mo...since it is one of your favorite pieces...

[@rtalbot87]

Interesting video, but Jeff was right handed !

[@robertlear2712]

I don’t think this is Jeff Becks best work. Try “Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers “. I saw him in concert in 2018. He was a true guitar god.

[@stephenrobinson9252]

Loudy visual. Rainy and reversed. What is with these folks offering up videos they have never seen or heard before?
