I have to post a tribute to one of the most influential guitarists of my lifetime. RIP Jeff Beck



One of the best Crossroad performances ever


1st Jeff Beck song I ever heard - Because I had a cool freaking coal miner for an uncle, and I "borrowed" from his albums


This is the only performance of a Jeff Project called "The Big Town Playboys" who released a Gene Vincent and Cliff Barret cover album back in the 90s



Goodbye Mr. Beck very few artists surpassed you - shit not many are even within a mile behind you

Too many great songs to list. This was one of my favorites from nearly 50 years ago, updated here with just a few of the many great musicians with whom he performed.

Beck gets pissed off at his Amp with some technical issue and trashes it (before The Who did it, I think).

He will sorely be missed. He opened a lot of doors for Rock guitarists.
