Jeff Beck dead at 78

Safe onward journey Jeff.

Very cool and humble fellow with all that immense talent. Serious chops but a legendary innovator and stylist too.

You will be much missed, Thank you for the music.

My first concert was Beck Bogert and Appice, back in 73. RIP JB!

His lead playing was so tasteful and expressive, his style was unique and really set him into a league of his own. Generations that followed kept pushing the technicality of the electric guitar but in my opinion none of them could really reach the feeling and emotion in his playing, which was closer to the expression of the saxophone or even the human voice. True legend and one of my favorites ever. Rest in peace.

The songs make themselves if you find the groove. Feel right at home with Jeff Beck's music. He let creation ride... Just play what sounds good! I can't get enough!

Well said Revegetta!

Spot on. Beautiful lyrical sounds, subtle and aggressive by turns.

Torn up with this news today and the terrible weather outside.

Here's something a bit cheesy but great His place is a few miles from where my folks lived.

RIP, giving Jimmy Page his telecaster was perhaps his biggest contribution to music

Lets make it a Jeff Beck weekend. Waking up to Wired. Just what the doctor ordered! Glad so many people recognize his gifted work! I didn't know he was that popular!

It is really touching seeing all the tributes all over social media. Jeff Beck was so cool, he was able to fly under the radar and still be a rock star.
Beck Bogart and Appice was my FIRST concert, and I saw him again in the early 2000's.
I could have seen him this last time, but when Johnny Depp joined the tour, the tickets got to selling for so much dough, that me and my girlfriend sold them online and took a trip to the Michigan dispensaries and loaded up! No regrets! Jeff would understand, I'm sure!

 

[Betterhaff]

I'm sure he would. You just made me play that BBA tune again, great version. I just saw a clip were Billy Joel gave tribute to Jeff at a Madison Square Garden show over the weekend, played "Going Down" in the encore.

Bump for Jeff Beck. Raining again today, got the Blow by Blow alum running through my head for some reason. Thats how you know its good!

Lot of great tributes over the weekend, especially Vernon Reid's tribute at Variety and a heart-broken Brian May. Read a great quote from the late BB King who said something like "My guitar doesn't have those notes", when asked about Beck's playing. A YouTuber pointed out that "Jeff Beck is the only guitarist Jimmy Page will play rhythm guitar for" when commenting about Beck's R&RHOF induction performance. And speaking of R&RHOF performances.....

Ladies and gentlemen. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.......

Thats great, those are some great quotes! Unique music! Play what needs to be played. Want to hear that guitar wail a bit.

Was great seeing Steevie Wonder play Superstitious with Jeff Beck!
