Post by 12bar »

:tears: We've lost one of the most unique guitar players - Jeff Beck.
Rest in Peace.

A huge shock - especially because he looked in good fettle on his recent tour.
A unique player who followed his own unique path. RIP.

Thanks for posting that link Fenson. :thumbsup:
It shows that a good song / tune can be played in a lot of different arrangements.

By a coincidence I was just watching the Jeff Beck version of this at Ronnie Scotts with Tal Wilkenfeld (then just 21) on bass.

You get a great view of his right hand technique in this video.

Thanks for posting. :thumbsup:

Brave of any guitarist to be on stage and try to tribute Jeff Beck's playing!

I see there's still a couple of one hour+ pieces of footage from the concert posted up. For the moment.
