This song is from the 1972 Jeff Beck Group album best known as "The Orange album". Great song! The vynil sound is just amazing! Jeff Beck is one the best guitarist ever, one possibly the most versatil in the classic rock and blues from my point of view.
Jeff past Jimi, 42 years ago...Jeff has mastered, maintained and remained relevant in a world where gimick, pomp and circumstance has shaded true talent. There is no comparison, there are only living legends...lucky for those of us that are constantly seeking the next eargasm...Jeff consistently delivers and manages his God given talent to live anothe day
may sound sound stupid but I'm new to you tube and I would like to post the studio version of 'Definetly Maybe' but I have'nt a clue how to do it .when I hit the 'upload ' button all it does is prompt for video's .What am I doing wrong ? Maybe some of you veterans can help me .Also is that Jan Hammer playing keyboards in this version ?
Roy Buchanan? Where is he now? JB just keeps getting better with age.No one like him. He is a league all by himself. Jimi will always be at the top but this guy is also unbelievable. Screamin hot!!
f***k off ,... nothing personal but those who follow on principle cant surpass. experimental blues riff and song compositions are so jimi its ridiculous, all props to cream also and any of the originals who stepped out of the box. although i have too hand it to jeff that he is an exceptional blues man. but in the 60s when the shit between all these UK neo bluesers came out these guys were a dime a dozen.

Me too :) Page and Beck are very different in the way they play :) i love Led Zeppelin but if it came down to guitar solo's, I have to go with Beck, he does alot of very cool stuff and you never know really know whats coming next as he plays with ideas alot more
@Fender1976uk : i´m not a guitarist, so i can just admire, both have their own merits, it should be avoided to compare them too much. listen to what page does in "no quarters - live" with since i´ve been loving you...and his playing is so good that even classicly trained Arabs listen to him carefully........
@deapwavelio he was very influenced by Roy buchanan along with David Gilmour of Floyd.Buchanan has that sort of tone that really should sound disgusting and vile yet he pulls it off a beast lol.
Yeah it's from the "orange" album. The only other title is The Jeff Beck Group. To me as brilliant as Jan Hammer is this tune played right into the wheelhouse of the original pianist on that album Max Middleton. You'd have to hear the original and the tune that follows it "Highways" to know what I mean. Max was deep, in a beautiful way, and I don't know how else to say it man. You'd have to hear it to understand......
I've seen Beck many times and the last time in 2000 at the Granada in Dallas and again recently on his new DVD release Live at Ronnie Scott's and all I can still say is "He is still the one and only Jeff Beck!"
i don't want to be mean to anyone out there or hurt feelings. Hendrix was a great showman and rock innovator..best electric player is a tremendous stretch. Usually a claim made by people who don't play much guitar or listen to a lot of music outside of the popular rock genre. Very few of the rock guitarist from the 60's and 70's could hold their own against the jazz and country greats they followed. They were just kids starting to get it down. Beck is one of them who stands up to anyone anytime.
Hendrix was the greatest artist to ever play electric guitar. He was jazz, blues, funk, psychidelic free-jazz, plus he wrote all his own tunes (over 20 classics in less than 3 years). Beck is probably the greatest guitar virtuoso of all time, but remember, the guy's over 40 years old in a lot of these clips. Plus he's playing with the greatest sidemen. Hendrix never had that opportunity. Hendrix and Beck--the greatest and the best.
Hendrix was definetely a force to be reckoned with but dont forget it wasnt until he came to England and was influenced by guys like Beck himself that he got his signature sound i prefer Beck over Hendrix (both incredible guitarists) just because Beck's solos were more well constructed and not just spur of the moment like alot of Hendrix's solos.
Well thats funny that you say that because I think they're somewhat opposites in that way. Beck is always in masterful control whereas Hendrix was such a master he wasn't afraid to lose control--even in front of 300,000 people. I just saw Beck last week at Irving Plaza (plenty of clips on YouTube). The guy's so freaking great! Beck and Hendrix forever!!!!!!!
I paid big money, but nothing close to $300.00. For the show I saw and considering the next tour probably wont be for 3 years, $300.00 would have been worth it. The venue was so small, the guy was like 10' from me. Rocked the house baby! My advice? Dont miss him again.
I think this was the only time since the 1975 tour that he played this song. But I miss the swing feel of the older version in this performance. Max Middleton was better suited to this kind of style than Tony Hymas or Jan Hammer.
Who cares what one halfwit says to another halfwit? Another halfwit I guess. The great youtube debate goes on: my guitar hero is better than yours. God you people are boring.
Here we go:::::: some people need to get a life. anger kills!
grga888 has replied to your comment on Jeff Beck-Definitely Maybe:
You dumbass. Jimi Hendrix is the best electric guitar player of all times. That's a fact, and a big one, like it or not. Even your favorite Jeff Beck said it as the whole musical world so back off. It is clear that you know nothing about music and guitar playing. Get some guitar lessons mate and a life.
grga has made an ass of himself far and wide. Hendrix wins popularity contests because he was a great rock guitarist whom was a "rock star" . Jeff Beck on the other hand stepped away from all that when he decided to be the "voice" and generally not work with a singer in a band.

i saw them both and jeff was better than jimi wen jimi was jimi there is no denying it he is the master of all guitarests ever jimi was very sloppy live extrmely so sorry he has been put on a pedistel by people who never saw him live his studio was brilliant thats it
Jimi's style was complete sponaneity, so what's "sloppy" may actually have been true improvisation. Jimi wasn't afraid to lose control--unlike Beck who's always in perfect control. Complete contrast in styles, but Beck and Hendrix are the 2 greatest in my mind. Hendrix wrote so many tunes! And remember that Beck played with the most elite musicians of his day, on modern equipment. Hendrix carried every band he was in totally on his own. Beck and Hendrix--the greatest and the best!!!!
You're dead right with your comparison. In fact, Jeff may well be the greatest of them all. He's still incredible and keeps breaking new ground, unlike all of his contemporaries.

@Auge Jimi Hendrix was a huge fan and admirer of Jeff Beck. Jimi studied Jeff's techniques and copied many of his licks. Jimi remained a close friend and played on stage with the Jeff Beck Group in 1968. Along with Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck was one of Jimi's closest friends. So Jeff Beck was actually there first, before Jimi. Jimi followed in his wake.
@Auge Why would you catch anything for this? Were Jimi still alive and had the years to master his talent like JB has, he'd potentially be better, but we'll never know. JB's sound is much more refined than Jimi's ever was at his tender age.
@Auge Love 'em both, but they are quite different. I love a fusion of heavier guitar music and the more complex rhythms of jazz. Jeff Beck achieves this, in style.
This song is from the 1972 Jeff Beck Group album best known as "The Orange album". Great song! The vynil sound is just amazing! Jeff Beck is one the best guitarist ever, one possibly the most versatil in the classic rock and blues from my point of view.
