[@josephobenauer3093]

I have seen Jeff Beck maybe 5 x in the past 20 years, he is not only the best guitarist I have ever seen, he is the best musician. Not even close.

[@joelcampbell1491]

RIP Jeff Always been my favorite

[@samgarofalo2461]

Jeff Beck has always been the best guitarist, unfortunately it took his death for some to realize it. Been a Beck fan since 1969

[@DanielCastillo-cn3pp]

He just killed it period. Simply the best guitar player...

[@trevorflarty1811]

Music for, grown ups. Absolutely stunning!

[@carlosclaptrix]

I love it when one musician (here Nigel K.) is excited about the playing of his fellow musician!

[@michaelwatson2961]

Master at work!

[@DoodlesMusic]

This is unbelieveable playing, from another planet (appropriately!). Bet you'd love to play next to this guy, Neil!

[@irishsetterarchie]

Jeff Beck is one of my favorite performers. This is wonderful!!

[@ganegalad3164]

Never dream of such a musical cooperation!!! So magical to see them together....

[@stephensticht]

Amazing piece with such restraint at the end!! BRAVO!!

[@thewordofgord]

awesome, of course. Saw him in 69 w/Rod and the band at the Electric Circus in Toronto.

[@donnrutherford7059]

Jeff Beck completely rearranged a moment in world time Wow

[@fifermcgee5971]

Jeff is simply the best. so humble and down to earth. He is in a class of his own, wonderful.

[@ingareinar007]

Nigel Kennedy really is the one showing the joy of music! And here, together with legendary Jeff Beck. Amazing!

[@spareroomdemos2006]

Wow it is on another level

[@irishsetterarchie]

Nigel is loving this!!! Now....I adore him!! I'm having a great time here tonight!!

[@Furtivo95]

I'm embarrassed I am only now discovering Beck. We lament the passing of Jimi Hendricks, yet Jeff Beck is alive and playing like a god.

[@Essexkiwi]

I have seen Jeff Beck live once, way back in 1973, when he was part of Beck, Bogart and Appice, I think it was. I agree with the comments that he was a much underrated player. Oh yeah, back in 1973 he was brilliant then.

[@richardtoy1600]

Better late than never. He was the guy that sold me on the guitar back in '66. A genius then, a genius now. And I'm still playing the guitar.

[@robdavenport6142]

I'm feeling exactly the same

[@roadrunnerbeepbeep4045]

But you discovered him! Just saw him for the second time last week and he is the best there is!! 😀

[@fredmertz4501]

Been enjoying his music all my life, I'm a lucky one as are you.

[@peskypesky]

Jeff Beck is the GREATEST!!!!!!!!!!

[@jamesrasmussen1235]

You Sir are correct.

[@Alfa75V6]

difficult to realize this man is gone , but it gets us all in the end even the wizards and mavericks

[@dmikesmyth]

been a fan of Beck for decades... having said that, I have to ask: how the hell does he not age? he was 64 when this was taped...

[@shannonohara6460]

I've seen him 22 times. I go any time he is near and sometimes when he isn't. Fun to watch

[@brosnaboy]

some guitarist, some head of hair!

[@dddpvt]

Met him, spent time with him REAL DEAL

[@jamesrasmussen1235]

If god played guitar, he'd be Jeff Beck.

[@jjmuni]

I thought the same. Clapton is good but not god.

[@MAJORSNODGRASS]

Jeff Beck is a real versatile player and craftsman.

[@alfredh5022]

Jeff Beck became my favorite guitar player immediately after Hendrix died. I'm serious. I always loved the Yardbirds, but I didn't know why. I discovered both Hendrix and Yardbirds in early high school, but it took years to realize who the guitarist was on most of the Yardbirds hits. Now with the Internet, it is easy. Also they had Clapton and Page in the Yardbirds, which clouded my ability to actually know. I later bought a Stratocaster in 1990 that was as close to the signature Jeff Beck model, in 1990: my beloved Strat Ultra. Jeff is greatest living rock guitarist, and no one sounds quite like him, even today.

[@fifermcgee5971]

You have excellent tastte.

[@fifermcgee5971]

Me again, a real pain in the ass, bet you have the LP "The Yardbirds Great HIts",album issued in 1977.

[@alfredh5022]

@@fifermcgee5971 No I do not have that album or reissued disc. Too nostalgic, and it makes me think of high school, a tragicomedy in my life.

[@bolderiks]

Jeff Beck, he never got out of my system since his outrageous performance on R. Waters' "Amused to Death". What a man.

[@MrDanSchulte]

He's been a great artist for 50 years.

[@alexdemmery4905]

I love Stevie, Jimii and Eric but JB is just so unpredictable!

[@brucerouffian2630]

Because he is always stretching himself. It's a good thing.

[@brucerouffian2630]

I am amazed at times. I have It's Gets Us all in The End on my phone, and it's pretty 70s, but it is one of the most impressive heavy rock guitar tracks of all time. Sometime the "random" shuffle plays it and then plays Cause We've Ended as Lovers. Clearly the shuffle reads the artists names because those two tracks have nothing else in common except Jeff's name and gorgeous guitar.

[@danzbmw]

Why do people have to compare musician to musician, is it for a sense of validation? Hey! If you're breathing, you're validated. 99% of the people couldn't hold Jeff's pick, because he doesn't use one.

[@kathrynbreuer9957]

But Beck does use a pick off and on within each tune he plays.

[@matheusgaldino7495]

Ladies and gentlemen Mr. Jeff back

[@neen070456]

MrPianoman.....Jeff does not use a bolt down nut...he uses a Wilkinson roller nut and it stays in tune cos he has it all balanced using the springs and the claw in the cavity ....when the strings and springs balance then it comes back in tune even after extreme bending. I have two Strats set up like his and I have no intonation problems.

[@keithbloomfield8112]

So sad to have lost him. Did you ever get to play with him Neil?

[@neilmurraybass]

I did various rehearsals with Jeff & Simon Phillips in 1981/82, when they were hoping to do a trio format (I think Sting, Mark King and others were tried also) but nothing came of that. I had done a few sessions with Simon that year, and he brought in to stand in for Mo Foster on the charity shows (4 performances altogether, Mo did 3 & 4) The Secret Policeman's Other Ball in 1981, that he was doing with Jeff & Eric Clapton. I played on Crossroads & Cause We've Ended As Lovers on the first night (Crossroads is on the album of the show); Further On Up The Road & Cause We've Ended As Lovers on the second night; Jeff & Eric didn't perform on the 3rd night, then Mo played on Further On Up The Road & Cause We've Ended As Lovers on the final night, which was filmed, so he's seen on that film and the album. A highlight of my career for me.

[@keithbloomfield8112]

@@neilmurraybass And what a career you are still having! I remember we chatted at an LCP do and you said Max Middleton had been scathing about Jeff - saying that they had to keep changing things so he could play it. Strange that Max stayed with him for so long - and we know which had the greater career and respect.

[@MrPianoman1981]

@rainbowsky777 Jeff's strat has a bolt down nut at the top of the guitar neck, this holds the strings in place after tuning, allowing heavy use of the whammy bar without going out of tune.

[@paulanthonyguy]

It's not a locking nut, it's a Wilkinson roller nut. (Sperzel locking tuners.)

[@unclemikedavis4210]

what is music? that is the eternal question. i think love and joy are it,s answers.uncle mike

[@ben909ben]

Speaking of Nigels, I would love to see a video of Jeff Beck and Nigel Tuffnal jamming, and maybe talking guitars and amps.... lol love Jeff's playing

[@ronbo11]

"These go to eleven." - Nigel Tufnel (Jeff's twin brother by a different mother)

Overall, the U.K. and the U.S. are just on a different level, when it comes to pushing the boundaries.

[@miichhau]

I think in this piece Grzegorski plays bass clarinet, not saxophone.

[@edward892]

Hell Yeah!!!!

[@rallyivan1234]

Does this video it up Neil Murray? because it has nothing to do with his music

[@nunosoar]

what?... It has nothing to do with that...It's done or with the use of a good nut and some good saddles or by lubrification of the stock ones! He also uses pieces of plastic between the string and the saddles to protect the strings. The metallic nut that he uses is a roller nut (Wilkinson roller) but that doesn't "hold the strings in place"!

[@boogerabros]

cant believe you missed it nigel wiped the floor even when he snapped three strings and broke his finger half way through his solo and jeff and beck walked off in disgust then tal wikenfeld finished jeff's solo on bass and you missed it i have the video on hd at $1ooooooooooo per copy all proceeds go to charity of courrse.

[@neilmurraybass]

rallyivan1234 - I don't understand your comment. I merely posted the video, even though I'm nothing to do with this performance. Neil Murray

[@lapwiz]

Eric "Crapton" was a false prophet, Jeff Beck is the real GOD of Britain's guitar players. One chord and you know is him playing! The best that ever was, the one and only master, genius and at 72 still blowing to top of any concert hall around the world. What a legacy this man has crafted. I only discovered after 20 years of trying to play and learning his licks that his a thumb player. I am a thumb player and I was in tears when I first saw the master playing live and I knew my techinique was right on the money. Since 1969 Beck has been my favorite guitar player and I had the pleasure of meeting him 3 times In Brazil, France and the US. I own a car restoration shop and he mostly wanted to talk cars while I mostly wanted to talk guitar playing , building and history of the instrument. We are both car builders , hot rods and such and guitar players. He's a master welder I'm a master painter and bodyman. We both love Fenders, not benders, though we like to bend a fender, but Strats and Teles mostly.. Beck is the real deal. A guitarrist guitar player without equal and a God in my book. Cheers!

[@717rocket]

Now Eric Clapton is great also, different style appreciate them the same.

[@jacksonfilm]

I think both men would tell you to stop being silly. This is music not sport, there is no objective 'best'
