Jeff Beck was a musicians musician.What does that mean? Jeff touched our souls and that's not easy to do to a musician but he did it to pretty much all who were fortunate enough to hear him play. Unlike 95% of the worlds guitar players who use a pick on their picking hand, Jeff was old school and just used his fingers & thumb. He created magic from his work. Jeff, was what I would call a freelance studio musican whose boundaries were always subject to the next project before him and without limitatioons.Jeff could fit into any musical situation and make it work
You ask any Pro musician out there from any of your favorite bands and they will likely throw down the gauntlet of admiration and respect to Jeff by saying and agreeing that he was the best of the bunch. Jeff'had 4 standout albums. (1) Truth with Rod Stewart. (2) Beck,Bogart & Appice. (3) Blow by Blow and finally (4) Wired.. His incredible guitar work stands the test of time and genius.
Have you been to you tube and listened to Freeway Jam live with Vinny on drums and Tal on bass? Have you heard the same combo play live his classic" Cause We Ended As Lovers "? Oh he will touch your soul. You will be schooled musically about the importance that music must have something to say; not just something to show.
Jeff, God awaits your arrival to help round out the Heavenly band as musicans everywhere mourn your loss. Jeff, when you get there, let them have it!
Rock The Heavens Jeff
