Another unique guitarist gone this year.
Dayum
RIP. Didn’t realize how old he was.
Bummer
What a loss. No one played or sounded like him, ever. I still remember hearing Wired for the first time back in high school – still one of my favorite records. RIP
A huge loss. I’ve always loved his guitar playing and compositions. RIP.
I never realized he made an electronica album.
My favorite Jeff Beck track.
Rest in power!
Oddly never heard any of his music, maybe apart from if he’s had a big radio hit at some point. Couldn’t name any of his songs. And I know my classic rock.
And I was rediscovering him yesterday night… RIP. Great guitar playing. So diverse and with so much imaginations… I don’t think I’ve heard anybody who can pull off so many different sounds and articulations out of the instrument. Just listening to him is very educative and fun for anybody who is into the music. Any kind of music.
It’s likely because he was a true player and not some fame addicted chump like little brother Eric.
The first time I ever heard of Jeff Beck was when I saw this video on MTV. This was when all my music listening came from either MTV or broadcast radio - no Spotify, Apple Music, or whatever yet:
RIP. One of the greatest.
Never heard of Eric Beck
