[riff724]

dammm you can tell he is great when everybody on the blog agrees lol this is a case were trhe man makes the tool

His bar use on a strat kills me. Goes to show, even with the advent of the floyd, the strat was never dead technology. I think the dude just worked on cars most a the 80's.

[pitsxroad]

wow wow... this is just breathtaking beautiful... thanks for sharing the gem... Cheers, PIT... :-)

[AxisofJustice21]

I just can't begin to describe it. What a truly talented son of a bitch.

[VinMan182]

Nice, Very nice! What a Class Act.

J.B. a gift from god

Thank-You

Jeff is the only player that can convey emotion and actually move someone to tears. Listen to other guitarist is cool but i really don't get moved emotionally.

[nationbluiding7678]

perfect!

[giantrobot9000]

I hate watching a beautiful clip of Jeff Beck playing masterful,soulful,original guitar, and scrolling down to read all of the idiotic fighting about who's better than who that guitarists seem so caught up in. Makes me want to take up the tuba.

[nsra1933]

Couldnt have said it better. Right on!

[TheBumknee]

wonderfully put

[saudim46]

:) you are so damn right. there are so many keyboard Frank Zappa and Steve Vais these days -_-

[plymouthrock51]

Give me Clapton, Stevie Ray, Roy Clark,Glen Campbell,Chet Atkins and others over Beck anyday.

[AllDayRCD31]

Quit comparing, Pilgrim. And if you don't appreciate Jeff, don't listen to him. Remember, opinions are like assholes----everyone has one.

[klabbekodd3]

This is absolutely beutiful......

[bayonett72]

Ain't that the truth! Jeff Smith

[starchristie]

wat???

[santiagueri]

Que liiiiindoooo

[mrpentium]

I've seen 2 videos of JB performing this song, and after both, he shakes his left hand, as though it hurts....guess all that pulling and pushing for 2 minutes straight takes it's toll.....

[AllDayRCD31]

Jeff plays this song at the end of his set. It is easy on his hands tho it takes a lot of finesse and harmonics. It is part of his act after a long evening. Hail Jeff, the wizard of rock guitar!

[dao9595]

Thanks for this video !! More more more please !!!!!

[itzjoeymac]

HENDRIX PUSHED EVERBODY!!!!! he was so uninbited it took others by storm. he was the JACK KIRBY of guitar but jeff beck is surely the STAN LEE.

[bayonett72]

renduke- You are right, they are all great. I guess it's a matter of taste and personal interpatation of what one is hearing.

[bayonett72]

renduke- Wuz up? You are right in that Hendrix wasn't a "trained or schooled" musician, John McGlaughin has said as much and he is one to listen to. The thing about Hendrix is that he rose above technigue and training and the scales et al. He pushed the envelope farther than Beck, or anybody else for that matter. Peace brother.

[renduke]

i think you missed my point AGAIN.

Is Hendrix Great ? YES....IS he incinvable no.

You obviously haven't listened to Vai if you think he's not a top 5 or 6 all time player.

Music is like art there is no real "best".

It's like saying on a good night THERE IS ZERO WAY joe louis or rocky marciano could beat a young Tyson. I do know no one makes the sounds Jeff does And Ali had the fastest hands you have to admire ALL OF THEM.

[4brens]

I love Hendrix too...but Jeff Beck is a mile above everyone else as far as guitar playing goes

[Juggalo5588]

nothing against all the greats of guitar, but i have to agree. many many guitarists have reached for the sky with the limits of there abilitys. but Beck seems to shine down from heaven, he can make a guitar sound like no other.

[renduke]

bayonett you're kidding right.....might point was/is hendrix songs are timeless and he was an orginal but he lacks the techique of a beck or vai to a trained musican

[bayonett72]

Renduke - Tell ya what, your in a very, very small crowd who considers Vai's version of anything Hendrix did is better. Rock on brother, leaves the best,for the best to enjoy.

[renduke]

tell ya what many people say Vai's tender surrender is a rip off of Hendrix's Villinova junction.......watch the both of them play IT Vai blows him away and i stand by what i said BECK IS "BEST"

[bayonett72]

renduke- Won't comment on Hendrix and Beck comparisons, both were /are stunning. But Steve Vai mentioned in their company is a slight to them. Listening to Vai play is like listening to thr flight of the bumblebee. A mechanic, not an artist. You listen to "Machine Gun" from Band of Gypsies" latley?

[cliffordrbell]

They don't know , Like I know.Right on.

go back to school i had the honor to meet both beck and vai on serperate occassions and each admitted they are in awe of the other guy.

[fadguru]

Reduke, For me, it's hands down, Beck and Hendrix. I think Hendrix' "Machine Gun" on Band of Gypsies is the greatest Rock guitar solo. What sets it apart from all the others is that is was performed 40 years ago and still no one can touch it. People can throw all the VanHalens and Vais they want at me. They had a tremendous technological advantage and decades to improve. What Hendrix AND Beck did back in the late 1960s was so far ahead of their time it was ridiculous.

[searunrd1]

Beck & Hendrix, could not agree with you more. Hendrix is gone, but if you want to speak of 'guitar gods' (bit of a precious phrase to me), we still have Beck, the Guv. How many times have you heard that Van Halen did this, or whoever has done 'that' for the first time, not realizing it was done a decade or two or three before by Beck & Hendrix.

[renduke]

just amazing beck is the best

[blueser76]

i was there...amazing concert...>;o)

thanks for posting...>;o)

[stereoview]

There seem to be some asswipes around that hit positive comments with thumbs down. They even get multiple IDs so they can do it more than once. What's interesting is that they don't think they are major league losers.

[martdude9]

Beck is so awesome, he was doing wot hendrix did, long b4 hendrix ever did it.

[hacksawboogie]

martdude...thats exactly right mate...few people realise it but hendrix pinched all his tricks off becky. jimi would go see beck play and ask him how to make feedback and harmonics and use the tremolo, he was in awe of beck, arent we all.

[martdude9]

100% correct.

Beck never gets the praise he deserves

He was/is a better guitarist then Hendrix ever was

[stereoview]

Jeff Beck was in absolute awe of Jimi. Jimi admitted to Jeff he used some of Jeff's guitar lines.

Hear it directly from Jeff's lips here> watch?v=3ZlHKcDbMAU

[renduke]

you are SO RIGHT both he and STEVE Vai ARE BETTER THEN hENRIX EVER WAS......Jeff is a league by himself STEVE VAI is a close second NO ONE....can make the sounds these 2 can.....

ricjie balckmore about jeff "he plays notes i can't even find"

[blisterbeetle85]

what a trip!!!!!!

[bayonett72]

netobeck--- absolutely! The best guitarist alive without question. Beck or Hendrix, or Hendrix or Beck. I'm sure Jimi is listening and his heart is swelling, as does mine when I heard this. Too much.

[netojbeck]

Best guitar player alive....hendrix and beck or beck and hendrix the best.

[bayonett72]

you just know everything'd gonna be allright after hearing this. Stunning!

[frankpaush]

*wipemytearsaway* WOW

[lomey]

a great moment of Jeff !!

[JeffBeck13]

no doubt

[lrizzo2001]

he's just the greatest guitarist ever.
