I've Never Seen a Guitar Played Like THIS

[@FLmetalhead]

That whole set “live at Ronnie Scott’s” is amazing. The whole band is awesome.

[@chrisrva710]

This is Jeff’s song “Angel” from the album “Who Else!” released in 1999. He is improvising over the song and the chord progression. He also performs this same technique on the song “Blackbird” released on “You Had it Coming” in 2001.

[@25dbz-ot9br]

Yeah. I dunno where dude gets this idea that the keyboard player and JB are jus randomly improvising with some chords. It’s improvising over a progression from a section of the song.

[@andrewbecker3700]

If we all could take even a smidgen of Jeff's talent for new inventive sounds from the guitar. The world would be a better place. He was the master. R.I.P. JB.

[@wallofdeath19]

Wasn’t expecting to hear All I Need on a otamatone 😂

[@topnug7626]

He called it an omegle loll

[@chrisrva710]

Finally you cover Jeff Beck. My favorite and in my opinion the best ever.

[@jasonremy1627]

Beck's backing band on this is Tal Wilkenfeld on bass, Vinnie Colaiuta on Drums, and Jason Rebello on keys. It might be the best band he's ever worked with in terms of talent.

[@yoelcapoful]

Beck played with almost everyone.

[@Birkguitars]

Wasn't Tal Wilkenfeld about 18 at the time? Absolute genius. The whole video is worth watching for things like her bass solo, JB's reaction and glimpses of Jimmy Page in the audience.

[@mikenagoda]

The secret to this is a light touch plus knowing your intonation inside out past the 21st fret - not easy considering how much tighter the frets get up there! This is actually incredibly impressive - his intonation and touch is spot on, and his ears are impeccable!

[@mark.guitar]

Saw him do this live. I was really close and he had his little finger locked onto the middle pickup. The emotion that he put in was amazing...

[@BootlegBil]

Genius & Feel - What a combination! That's Jeff!

[@YaNKeeR_]

The way you speak about music in general is so impressive. Is this from all of your music theory training? I really want to learn this type of thing. So complex and basically a language I'll of its own. Big fan! Love your videos.

[@slide8570]

I gotta say..Jeff Beck was one of my favorite guitar players. He used the guitar like he might use his voice..perfect pitch kinda stuff, sadly I don't have that. Listen to "Where were you"..or "Somewhere over the Rainbow"..listen to how he used the instrument to sound like a voice. Beautiful melody's and playing.

[@frodeleirvik]

The look on your face @5:36-ish is absolutely priceless! Exactly how I feel when diving into the Beck-iverse. Maybe the progression is something for Rick Beato to nibble into?

[@zaturnneo]

I've messed around with open tuning and slide with volume swells. I often get up into those registers during slide solos, but hadn't really thought of doing this. Perfect timing for a new song we're working on.

[@whyceeguy]

I bought Blow By Blow when it came out and I was just learning to play guitar and it quickly became my master class trying to figure out how he did this or that (tone, phrasing, technique, etc). Eventually saw him live and wanted to figure out what pedals and such he was using but he was just playing super wide open and it was all in his hands, he could play super clean in a high gain setting, he didn't need to step on a pedal to change the gain. The other thing was he didn't use a pick. Everything he did is just so different from the way we mere mortals play.

[@Roy_Gaber]

Leave it to Jeff to master this. Thanks Tyler this was a good video.

[@barackmycat9448]

He will be the beast in my time. Oh, and Jimi too.

[@faroffgrace5490]

I think Bumblefoot does a slightly similar thing with his guitar, except instead of using a slide to play the notes above the frets, he uses a metal thimble on a high-distortion tone. He also tends to do it while tapping and at a high speed, which makes it sound much more chaotic than it does here.

[@JamminJim42]

An E-bow can get you similar tones, just not as high as the slide. Very creative on Jeff's part.

[@ApaAbatar]

That’s some serious glass tone.

[@RandyBroyhill-f6e]

Just look at Gary Rossington from Lynyrd Skynyrd and Duane Allman from the Allman brothers. They were doing this for bird sounds in the 60s-70s. Think free bird and Duane’s input on Eric Claptons Layla

[@123jkjk123]

Beck takes it to a whole other level, playing melodically instead of making sound effects.

[@CorkElectric40]

Yes.... Thank you😊

[@dylandenney3980]

Gary Rossington used to do this to make bird sounds when he played Free Bird Live

[@kevinking2468]

Beck is the man

[@georgeprice4212]

I’m not surprised. Gary Rossington did a similar thing on the live versions of Free Bird, to get the bird sounds.

[@lightning337]

That pick will never be seen again

[@IvorThomas]

Not improv, but truly a fantastic song and performance. One of my favorite Beck cool moves is a bit he does on ‘Day in the House’ from “Guitar Shop”-for a moment he sounds like a blues harmonica but even cooler. Legendary!

[@bungalowbill74]

Nice Bit of Radiohead thrown in for good measure! Love it!!

[@davidrawzen8232]

Or it’s just an opposite: Radiohead throws a little bit of Beck there…

[@moreblack]

Saw him on the tour when that song was brand fresh new. Mind blowing. Steve Vai takes it further, because of course he does, and plays the strings with a detached whammy bar.

[@jimmygillard]

Cool as hell. And yeah, NEVER seen a guitar played like that.

[@krishal_musicgaming]

love from nepal. i am a beginner guitarist and i have learn some of the songs in acoustic guitar but i want to learn in electric guitar which i cant afford it because i am a student so i want you to help me. hope you reply.

[@raymondmeers]

For playing beyond the fretboard, without a slide, check out Roy Buchanan - The Messiah Will Come Again

[@216trixie]

I saw him in concert about 10 years ago. Not much to say except, yeah.😮

[@jamescoyle007]

This technique also works very well with a beer bottle (no paper label). I've had best success with about a half full bottle for some good weight. Then when you're done, you've got some tasty libation to celebrate!

[@Christian-Knudsen333]

Gary Rossington did it when they played free bird live

[@64north20west]

No one was in Jeff Beck's world of guitar playing.

[@alococuccoyo6103]

You can do that kind of close slide tapping with your whammy bar too.

[@yorkavenuesoundfactory1226]

Hey love your Chanel- can you get your hands on this guitar the DJT is hawking? I’m sure it’s a POS but I’d love your opinion

[@StrdFrgman]

Next thing ya know, someone will be using a drill! 😐 Oh… 🤘🕊❤️🤘

[@DavidMarkThomasMusic]

Jeff Beck is just the king of

[@Redxriot01]

Hey bro I'm 1 second early can U reply I'm a huge fan

[@nukewurld]

Asking for a reply from a youtuber? Is this what the internet has done to today's youth?

[@Redxriot01]

@nukewurld bro are U being serious?I just wanted him to reply to me can U mind Ur own business mate

[@Redxriot01]

@nukewurld and I ain't 12 years old bro

[@OxfordComa256]

This section also appears in the studio version, so it’s not improv. It’s essentially a restatement of the melody from earlier in the track, just higher - and obviously with insane precision

[@lukeboy8081]

No way, I played like that before I knew Beck did it, I was playing slide one day and then I just tried this and thought it sounded cool

[@Markothunder]

R.I.P. Jeff Beck😔🙏

[@JohnLloydDavis]

Yes, Adrian Belew does it all the time.

[@RandysRides]

I'm one of the few that doesn't like Beck's playing. Innovative, yes.... enjoyable to me, no. But he sure shows how to think outside the box.

[@DownEastSaw]

0:05 thumbnail looks like Jeff beck.

[@slimman437]

If my memory serves me right, I remember watching Steve Vai do this using the whammy bar.

[@Jman_3705]

Gota play with your slide man

[@poopoo-qz7sw]

Nice 😊

[@galaxygooner1998]

What's the fretting hand doing? Lightly touching as you would to get a harmonic and moving to different places to change string length and note?

[@ObjectiveDynamics]

damping the strings to prevent extraneous noises

[@gitfiddlio]

This style of slide is called glissando guitar

[@nickzimmerman5260]

Hay what is a studio model guitar compared to any other guitar like the ones from PRS

[@konigaminggr]

Holy glass.

[@nicolasjanvier8374]

necessary good ears

[@JLCwakeboardingFL]

Haha when the acid hits

[@Thatguy-c4o]

Which video does Jeff beck does this

[@joshuamessenger]

tbh, it ALL sounds like the missed notes in Guitar Hero. 🥴

[@jamesmoses4066]

I've done this with my Floyd Rose, take the whammy bar out and use that instead of a slide.

[@BrettEPierce]

What's with the assumption that this is improvised? They are playing the song "Angel (Footsteps)".

[@bunnyshredderrl8689]

I call those things Otomotones, generally used by Dooods on Omegle...

[@stevesorrell9835]

It's not improv. It's the melody, written for Jeff, by Stevie Wonder. "Cause We As Lovers." Amazing song.

[@benjaminwoodrowmusic6070]

It is not cause we've ended as lovers it's angel(footsteps) and it was written by Tony Hymas

[@TomMartin-e8r]

That had nothing to do with " CWEAL's

[@stevesorrell9835]

You're right. I stand corrected. Wrong song. Still, not improv though.

[@colinconaway1914]

I think that’s what Evh did on intruder

[@RanterInShades]

Sounds like cartoon birds singing

[@elanvitalvital6512]

Damn Music for The Win is looking more and more like Mark Zuckerberg

[@jonwanrocks]

let me guess. "angel"

[@someguitarguy6886]

Yo second one

[@NickIsPhresh]

i like doing this with my whammy bar

[@davidrawzen8232]

Actually I think that Gilmour also did something like that once…

[@magnuslamlaidir]

Not really like that, but he used a slide in the right hand for 'A saucerful of secrets' and 'Set the controls for the heart of the sun', I believe. Also, I think he credited Syd Barrett for the technique.

[@davidrawzen8232]

@ . Maybe not exactly with a slide, but somehow he makes those “birds” sounds in the middle of Echoes on guitar. But I’m not sure that it’s the only moment that made me think of him now, maybe there was something else in their other early stuff also (maybe only in some live recording, I don’t know)…

[@BeatleJWOL]

@@davidrawzen8232 The "seagull" sounds on Echoes are, bizarrely, from a wah pedal plugged in backwards; at that point just turning the volume and tone knobs will get you that sound. gilmourish on KZbin has a great video about it.

[@benjaminprietop]

Sounds like something Tom Morello would do

[@Ultima2876]

The heck is an "omegle". It's an otamatone

[@ZacxOff]

What was so confusing about that? He’s tapping with his slide 🤷‍♂️

[@DaveDeFrancesco]

😮😜😆😉😬😅🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸BECK and Eddie 😭😳🙄🎶🎸☮️✝️♾️😎

[@brianbutler3318]

Not improvised, that is a tune

[@arcadepiano]

you lived under a rock? that technique is normal. i played like that 2 decades ago, and with better technique by pandit battacharya, i got his vhs instructional in the late 90's. the proper way of playing slide is with the tip, like lefthanded writting. what's next? be impressed by stanley jordan who's technique was famous since the middle 80's? or pretend like the reaction to first ever listening to freddie mercury? kmon bro. and by the way it's better using a marble and open tuning (and stereo delay).

[@LeoPersson-t4p]

Bro released this video 50 seconds ago

[@ClaytonMacleod]

You’re impressed by this? 🤦‍♂️

[@bouzoukiman5000]

What Beck did there sounds terrible

[@slide8570]

When I heard that tune way back in the day it sounded amazing! It was, in my mind, this guy has perfect pitch to play those notes! Everyone has their likes and dislikes, some like metal...etc etc..but what I heard from Jeff Beck was amazing. It was his control over the entire instrument and how he could use a whammy bar, volume knob, and tone controls to make his guitar almost have a "human singer" quality to it..and it was always in tune! He would use the bar to bend a note higher or lower and it was always spot on! I've tried that technique, using the whammy bar, volume knob, etc..never ever matched it! Whether you liked him or not..Jeff Beck was in a league of his own.

[@TheRainman444]

Not much to it ! Swing and a miss here !

[@ottomattix86]

Sounds horrible imo.
