[JamesStorey09]

Total dislike for the thin image! Joking!! The song is far too amazing for a dislike! lol

[averyhawkins13]

this is a beastly video!!!!!!



[MsGabilin]

un grande jef beck se merece escucharlo

[MrZeearend]

jeff beck is the best guitarist of the world!

[rennyshelton]

With audio like that...who needs video?

[thedant]

Truly beautiful. So haunting - guitarists love him for his technical skills as well as his unparalleled grasp of dynamics. Loved him since hearing 'The Final Peace' as a 12-yr-old schoolboy. Beck moves me like no other player.

[Vomitore]

Jeff Beck: The only guitarist I can think of who is still getting better and who the legends admire.

[margretdupont1]

@Vomitore Agreed........however, don't forget to include Todd Rundgren& Steve Vai who have aged wonderfully as well!

[TheUrukhai1]

Great track Jeff...you still da man

[bluesman341]

Then go back to "Beck-Bogart and Appice--He was playing a Les Paul and he used a guitar pick back then-fascinating. There will never be another Jeff Beck-not even close-Steve Vai and Joe Satriani are great but Jeff Beck is Jeff Beck. No one can touch him.

[bluesman341]

Jeff Beck is the best--I've been playing for 45 years and he boggles my mind-It is virtually impossible to mimick him-his harmonic knowledge is unsurpassed-His use of the volume control and tremolo is nothing short of amazing.

[TheSammoness]

I'm in love <3

[drumforlife720]

it literally sounds like his guitar is singing

[xXOCTOPIXx]

.... i am never listening to another version of 'somewhere ovr the rainbow' again.....thiZ iZ it....freaking amazing....

[JLcathino]

HOW DOES HE DO THIS!?

[clemmertime23]

@JLcathino Volume swells, Masterful Whammy bar control, taste, soul, and maturity

[TheOldcountryboy]

you know a song is good when you can read the comments without a single mention of he who should not be named :) you guys know who im talking about

[Alkali64]

@TheOldcountrybo Thankyou for continuing that trend. :)

[bluescommander]

@TheOldcountryboy way to mention him, bro

[lifeside091]

@TheOldcountryboy I have to say that I agree with everybody here in that this song is absolutely beautiful and Jeff is one of the greatest and most tasteful guitar masters of all time... but who is he who should not be named?

[Loganberrymusic]

@TheOldcountryboy Voldemort??

[LyleMarks]

@TheOldcountryboy Chris Impellitteri?

[scars117]

@TheOldcountryboy Voldemort...

[TheHatheist]

@TheOldcountryboy

I have no idea who you're talking about, actually.

[vooshell1]

Wonderful



[4dkpyaripriya]

MARVELOUS .......................

[AndyHN34]

For those who haven't seen it, check out Jeff's 'Live at Ronnie Scotts' DVD. Unmissable. Shit, now I'M crying as well! No other guitarist, not even McLaughlin, gets to me like Beck does.

[15viceandvirtues]

Every note played gave me goosebumps. Are these even notes anymore? Beck sounds like he's playing with magic in his fingers. OMG

[JustAintthatWay]

@15viceandvirtues wow what an excellent comment 'are these even notes anymore?'

what a cool way of stating it

jb has gone beyond mere notes it seems

the artist in a space none can inhabit but himself

the audience watches from outside and in awe

[CAGED1702]

Just beautiful...and what a string arrangement...I LOVE it..! Btw: 2 people should be amputated from the neck...

[HylianGH]

My speakers can't even handle the pitches his guitar reaches in this song...incredible. What an amazing cover.

[tga83]

Two people are deaf? :)

[Bassificationstation]

There are 2 types of guitar players in the world: Jeff Beck and all the rest of them.

[thecattlady]

Antoinettemadalaine.. stunning.... !

[ledzeppelin1710]

magnificent. too bad there isnt enough good music like this anymore. jeff beck is one of my top 5 favorite guitar players.

[9backinblack]

Just Beautiful. Just Beautiful.(crying)

[kleinBeule]

The guitar plays with Jeff Beck, not Jeff Beck with the guitar.

[watanuki1207]

And addition,I don't need anymore but this music.....

[TheFly212]

How he plays a Strat is just simply awe inspiring.

[watanuki1207]

It is.,.......i cant say any more except for words of AWESOME...

Jeff continues to progress forever..

[inlove80spinktux]

OMG nothing can describe how beautiful this song is

[A48289]

Thank you~ for posting this, it's beautiful~

[kminketto]

I noticed in JB's comments about each song in the "Emotion and Commotion" CD's notes, he says of this song "it's one of the most beautiful songs ever written", and he does a beautiful version of it here.

[redspecialist]

and it's not strange at all if a certain Brian May considers him "The Guv'nor", a master and an example.

chapeau.

[vfondrk]

Jeff could make thaat guitar sing. Don't believe it, listen to this.

[blue2323232323]

He was one of the first, played with les paul himself, Hes still alive and by far the best guitarist today, We need some visionaries like those guys

[lucaspanio]

who's the stupid idiot that disliked this??

[97MrSlash]

This is really nice song. Jeff is probably at my 20 best guitarist list. :)

[CyValkarion]

@97MrSlash he's in my top 10

[123rockfan]

This is the song I want to be played at my funeral.

[123rockfan]

@123rockfan

Or on my wedding.

[theburdcotter]

@123rockfan I'll do it for half nothing, my fees are much more competetive than Jeff Beck. So let me know when you die........

[PSNgregiskool]

I remember watching a video live at ronnie's place I think. I was blown away, people are too buisy with Steve Vai and Joey Satch that they are missing out on this... this god.

[Darby969]

[sibjoan]

Alkali64 very nicely done! Thanks 4 the treat!

[Mrcomposerart]

@Alkali64

Another player who got better after the 60's was Michael McGinnis. I'm a big fan. Beck and the afore mentioned are my favs.

[toppoxpocky]

damn,this song makes my heart ache..

[TheHellbred]

@Alkali64 Amen!

[DementedHydra3000]

amazing! and i believe he stated that he couldn't use one of his fingers on his left hand for this recording because of a kitchen accident

[DistortedV12]

You know those notes never touched the guitar Right?. Jeff Beck is a master of his craft, a "guitar WIZARD" if you will.

[815js]

vai, timmons, hendrix, johnson, clapton, santana, satch and so on and so forth, there is a couple of supernatural guitar players. However, jeff beck is my favourite amongst them

[MrMoneyclips]

All i can do here is leave a comment, click the like button, and give this video a view; but I really wish this man could grasp what we all think of his talent. It is immaculate. I loved this.

[1952FMS]

heart felt emotion from the master of the gutiar, thanks Jeff

[TheHellbred]

@abrababy have you ever heard Liva At Monterey 1967!? the first track, blows me away, every time!

[gweetarshredder]

unbelievable, the melody he produces with that wicked tone... and this cover is amazing!! So glad, tho this is my first time listening to him, that Ive finally been able to hear what ive been missing out on

[Alkali64]

@gweetarshredder Listen to his version of Nessun Dorma, It might be on Youtube somewhere.

[gweetarshredder]

@Alkali64

wow thanks for the tip mate, found a vid and watched it- unbelievable rendition of such an amazing piece of music. cheers again

[TheHellbred]

the only guitarist who can come close to Hendrix. in fact, Jeff comes so close, he almost gets burnt off the guitar :D

[chungamok]

@TheHellbred ... Dude seriously? In my opinion Jeff Beck is better than Hendrix technically and influentially.

[TheHellbred]

@chungamok I don't want to get into an argument here, but in my opinion, hendrix will always be the greatest electric guitarist ever! he was the first person to properly use distortion, feedback, effects, and every guitarist since then wouldn't be able to play the way they do without Hendrix! now, Jeff is obviously more technically skilled, no questions asked, but Hendrix wasn't that technical to begin with, but if it wasn't for Hendrix, I doubt Beck would be playing the way he does now :L

[brainfable16]

Jeff Beck is godly! he is in his own realm of guitar awesomeness, that cannot be matched. He makes his guitar sing. What a beautiful take on the song.

[AaronMk91]

Unbelieavably haunting, I love it. I can almost hear the words on his guitar. Thanks for uploading man.

[Sunandseas]

Ufff...  genial !!

[titoprasetya199]

thank you so much for upload...

[aniagniech]

beautiful guitar.........

[FreedomZealot]

He is untouchable. There will never be another like him.

[Alkali64]

@FreedomZealot Agreed. It's not often a guitar player comes along and invents his own personal technique, that's both emotional AND technical. Jeff Beck is simply astonishing.

[Grendelmonster8u]

@Alkali64 Thanks for saying that...tried to explain that about his album There & Back on another video. His songs evoke emotions in me and that doesn't happen a lot for me with modern instrumental guitar albums...as whole albums. It's like listening to Beethoven's piano concertos...they're emotional not just technical virtuosity. Why that doesn't happen w/ all guitarists, I don't know.

[UnholyConfessions10]

@FreedomZealot i am exactly like him. i am as good as him.

[Kcrazykal]

can defo pull ur heart strings ... amazing guitar playing !

[NikkiMikki789]

Amazing <3
