i'm so glad he branched out into jazz-rock-fusion..that's where he took it up a few levels and i enjoy BBB & Wired, also There & Back...he is the master of touch & feel..I heard he stopped using the bag /talk box gadget bec Frampton was so identifiable w/ it and had so much success with his "Comes alive double lp"..too bad i don't think that should have mattered.
Good bass player....without pick!!! once again, virtuosity is not a velocity affair, Beck is a genius of subtility, sound controlling, tone and volume, attack, he explores all the sonic possibility just with few basic fx (wha, overdrive, delay,fuzz) with "détachement".
I can't figure out how Beck could intonate a Les Paul that does not use a bridge! Just running the strings over a stop tail piece. It must have taken a while to get the height exactly right. Amazing guitar and guitarist.
Oh man unreal..what great phrasing...you could copy every lick off this video and play it a thousand times...and still not come even close to this masters touch...simply bloody brilliant..Huw Fox, Ipswich. England
Wow, what a blessing to see and hear this! Still playing that Blow by Blow Les Paul and using a pick. About the pick thing, try to stop using a pick,, It's like quiting smoking, for real. Once you do, the world is your oyster. Jeff realized this way back in the day, just like he realized a whole bunch of other things about the electric guitar. That's why he should be put in the pioneer catagory, a true visionary on the same level as Les Paul himself. Talk, mock, laugh, cry and sing.
Eat your heart out Peter Frampton! Jeff Beck might be the greatest living guitarist- and Blow by Blow was the great turning point in his career! Thanks so much for this post!
@disda1n LOL! It should me too, but here I sit 7:20 in the morning with my tele, trying to play as "liquid-like" as i can get. Long, long way to go, man... Long, long way. :)
Like all the greats Jeff sounds like Jeff no matter if he's playing a Les Paul, a Telecaster with humbuckers or a Stratocaster. He does have a bit of a reputation for being "hot or cold" when playing live, on a "hot" night there's none better on the guitar.
Beck definitively keeps getting better as time passes by,I watch this video & then I listen to Nadia or his newer stuff & his musicality & chops keep evolving like no other rock player at his age ...
In my humble opinion Beck is just as good if not better than he was 40 years ago (yikes), his playing today almost seems more expressive and dynamic. I love the whammy bar stuff, love it. I know Nadia was done at least ten years ago but to me it's one of my all time favorite guitar instrumentals, don't get no better than that.
This is SO beautiful. I really believe that he WAS better. Like Clapton and all the others. Aging is really hard. Beck still great and all, but pretty much like the old ones, he's getting worse. Of course, he stills a lot better than any other. But he's not as good as he once was. The same goes for Clapton and Buddy Guy and BB King and pretty much every guitarrist.
But hey, I wasn't born in the 60's so I'm glad I'm here NOW to see him play. One of the bests for sure.
I like his material from the Les Paul years much better than the Strat stuff, when he got all whammy-bar happy and continues to be. That stuff is all still amazing, but is so heavily tinged with over-bent and soaring whammy bar notes and a high-freq false vibrato that I can only listen to a few minutes of it, then my ears are numb. Love the chick bassist (Tal?) though. Amazing talent.
he p[layed like this nearly 40 years ago..am wondering if he sees himself as better now. Tough call. Been playing nearly as long but am still crap. What went wrong? Nice to be around in a Beck era nonetheless
@Orbital ,, I think ya need secondal,,, Different what ? I have seen him live 14 times, since 1972... One axe change a show.. as for "wrong notes" ,,,, Do you even play ?
@BobMillahhh , Hey Bob. Not for nothing, The guy Orbital , has taken down his post. You have no referance to what I was saying to him ! That makes you the winner of the "out of context" dumb ass award. You have no clue as to what I was saying. so shut the hell up.

A wonderful version of this song! Blow By Blow (which includes "She's A Woman" ) is the album that sold me on Jeff's talent big time! It has remained a real favourite of mine for many years now.
There is a level of talent in this world that defines the impossible dream others strive for and may never attain, an elusive star in the heavens that is always out of reach and yet graces the world with it's light. Jeff Beck is better than that.
Beck's phrasing here is absolutely brilliant. I can't watch this enough. Totally unconventional bends and timing that only Beck can pull off. Raunchy stuff that nobody was doing back in the day. Amazing
i hear gary moore here , eddie van halen here, all the greats of the next generation took alot from this dude no doubt, jeff beck is just a GREAT guitar player, HALL OF FAME , LEGEND ...ALL THAT SHYT!
beck is not as appreciated as clapton, but to me...i like beck better, guitarist can learn a ton from beck , and im a yngwie , greg howe , satch , lynch, gambale kinda guy, all serious guitarist now and then ALL have to take a long listen to this dude, can learn shytloads from beck and will make any guitarist better, hes just really really good
beck is in his own realm. i wouldn't compare him to anyone. he's in a class of his own. i think his problem is he was never main stream, but always in the lead by two or three years.
@orbital14 Nah, the bad notes are still there. Just when Beck plays them they work somehow. Take the section 1:40 - 1:50 of this video. A heap of repeated bad notes that sound just great.
@orbital14 it's true.. he uses a different guitar for each different Key.. the wrong notes have been removed in order to pretend he is good.... XDXDXDXD he's the best
@kevoishere1 The talk box has a small speaker in it and a hose hooked to the box . The Amp is switched from output to the speaker cabinets to the talk box.. The sound of the guitar travels up the tube into the players mouth. Just like when we speak , the player changes the shape of his mouth to form words. The sound is reflected back out of his mouth into the audio microphone.
Most of today guitar players dont know how to make a guitar talk,they rely too much on equipment and efects but they still dont talk they shout and badly,we need more this kind of players,cheers Beck
I remember first guitarist making the talk box popular was Peter Frampton (Comes Alive). Jeff Beck used it with Beck, Bogart, Appice. In 1974, I built one for home use, it's easy: I took a loudspeaker from my car, put on it a cone used for filling water into bottles, attached a plastic hose, put the other end into my mouth and let the soundstream in. The output of voice and guitarstream with microphon very near to lips sound like the guitar singing the lyrics. Try out yourselves! Have fun!
@MrHonestmate , yeah , your right, thats quintesential beck at his best, really plays well here and i think seperates himself from other guitarist and basicaslly says to them, I WILL FK U UP! HEHE
@bracemachine09 He is one of the very best Rock guitarists, and highly undermentioned. I think it's because of the jazz direction. But is is superb. Much better than the speed merchants out there.
my pet theory is that because Beck's styles over the years are beyond the grasp of many guitarists in terms of learning and/or mimicking, paradoxically this results in a kind of "reverse fame"
for example how many times have you heard someone say, "they sound like Hendrix, Clapton or Page?"
i wager many more times than, "they sound like Beck"
of course, the follow-up question would be, "which Beck?"
@bracemachine09 Yes, and as a matter of fact, since there isn't much talk or airplay I forget about him. But listening to him again I realize how vital he is as a guitarist and influence. There's a lot of his unique sound in many of today's players. He should be enshrined along with Hendrix, Page, Clapton, et. al. That he's not spoken of more is a crime.
The battle rages on... Plug in your headphones.... Close your eyes... and listen to this ..... 1:40 For a minuite or two and tell me you haven't shit in your pants...
heck I don't think so. at least not by folks who know guitar, including his contemporaries (like Clapton and Page). even those all-time greats hold a certain awe and respect for Jeff Beck. sure they've sold records decade after decade in numbers that have brought them a whole different level of acclaim and recognition, but for pure artistry and influence, they know who's boss.
I think you might be on to something. I've always heard his name as one of the top guitarists, but I never had any special reason to listen to his work... this is the first time i've watched him play, and he's proved to me at least he's definitely worth a second look. He is a very creative player
@admanphoto what are you talking about? This is music...if you don't like it then go watch something else. Just because it may appear self indulgent to you doesn't mean that it is. What is Jeff Beck supposed to do? Just play some rehashed bullshit just so noone thinks that he's a show off? He's a legend and an innovator on the guitar. Without his "self indulgence" the guitar would be something entirely different today.
@indian5 What am I talking about? He's ruined a fantastic piece of music, that's what I'm talking about. I know he's a legend and I appreciate his craftsmanship as a guitarist, but let him indulge on something he wrote himself.
@watanuki1207 Because I'm a lazy 14 yr old who thinks the internet has anything I want haha, it's too ambitious for me to attempt to play anyway but I might give score books a go at somepoint, thanks for the effort.
@manurok1 You got me there - what was I thinking! Nigel Tuffnal was definitely modelled on Beck's speaking style. Also, Beck was famous for studio recording at outrageously hi volumes, to get
@ben909ben Tabs are fine as long as you're studying the music and training your ear. Tabs used to memorize finger placement doesn't help the progression of the student; it's more or less monkey see monkey do. With or without tabs -- though -- there's a lotta nuances in Jeff's playing that can't be mastered easily.
@guitarslinger32269 So true. One of Beck's coolest qualities is his uniqueness. So if you do learn his stuff note for note, try to take it another direction that is unique to you. Otherwise you really miss out on the best thing about playing the guitar-or any other instrument. Can't blame anyone for wanting to sound like Beck, but just remember not to have that as your ultimate goal-creating something beautiful and original is a much higher aspiration-and more Beck-like than copying his licks.
@ben909ben Personally, I use Audacity or other software/hardware to slow the track I want to learn down until I can pick it up. Then I play along with it and gradually increase the speed back to 100% as I figure out/learn the appropriate hand positions and related techniques to play the tune. Frequently I re-play the same 10-30 seconds over and over until I master the harder parts.
the cool thing is, once I've mastered that tune I've probably added a handful of new techniques to my skills.
@themandolinmaniac I wish I had that kind of space and gear in my life, I've got to get rid of this job I'm too much a slave to. I was just making a feeling statement, I think your approach is wonderful and productive, and I've been thinking of taking lessons. That is how Beck learned, throwing the 45 on the turntable until he wore it out learning the groove or lick. But you know what I mean - Beck can't be "purchased", just adored. cheers

instrumentalists have "their" sound like that. Here's to you, Beck! Long May You Run... )

@bracemachine09 He is one of the very best Rock guitarists, and highly undermentioned. I think it's because of the jazz direction. But is is superb. Much better than the speed merchants out there.

Such a beautiful song executed to perfection by Mr. Beck, a real joy to listen to.

my pet theory is that because Beck's styles over the years are beyond the grasp of many guitarists in terms of learning and/or mimicking, paradoxically this results in a kind of "reverse fame"
for example how many times have you heard someone say, "they sound like Hendrix, Clapton or Page?"
i wager many more times than, "they sound like Beck"
of course, the follow-up question would be, "which Beck?"
my two cents...

@CosmicXRay well i hear people who try and sound like Hendrix or Page. not so much clapton since hes kinda a pretty generic player.

@bracemachine09 Yes, and as a matter of fact, since there isn't much talk or airplay I forget about him. But listening to him again I realize how vital he is as a guitarist and influence. There's a lot of his unique sound in many of today's players. He should be enshrined along with Hendrix, Page, Clapton, et. al. That he's not spoken of more is a crime.

@carvinrocks2 That's actually the original talkbox. He borrowed it form the pedal steel guy who originally commissioned them to be made.

heck I don't think so. at least not by folks who know guitar, including his contemporaries (like Clapton and Page). even those all-time greats hold a certain awe and respect for Jeff Beck. sure they've sold records decade after decade in numbers that have brought them a whole different level of acclaim and recognition, but for pure artistry and influence, they know who's boss.

I think you might be on to something. I've always heard his name as one of the top guitarists, but I never had any special reason to listen to his work... this is the first time i've watched him play, and he's proved to me at least he's definitely worth a second look. He is a very creative player

@admanphoto you have to be somewhat self indulgent as an artist.
atthewhiskey 1 year ago
@admanphoto what are you talking about? This is music...if you don't like it then go watch something else. Just because it may appear self indulgent to you doesn't mean that it is. What is Jeff Beck supposed to do? Just play some rehashed bullshit just so noone thinks that he's a show off? He's a legend and an innovator on the guitar. Without his "self indulgence" the guitar would be something entirely different today.

@indian5 What am I talking about? He's ruined a fantastic piece of music, that's what I'm talking about. I know he's a legend and I appreciate his craftsmanship as a guitarist, but let him indulge on something he wrote himself.

@manurok1 Umm....I can't find out any this song's tabs.I wanna watch too,however it's no any tabs in networks.Why don't you purchase score books?

@watanuki1207 Because I'm a lazy 14 yr old who thinks the internet has anything I want haha, it's too ambitious for me to attempt to play anyway but I might give score books a go at somepoint, thanks for the effort.
manurok1 1 year ago
@manurok1 You don't ask for "Tabs" from Jeff Fucking Beck...
1) you get down on your knees and say "I am slayed"
2) or you put him on the headphones, plug your guitar in, turn it up to ten
and try and follow along somehow...
peace

@ben909ben Ah you're right, I'm not worthy. And I have no idea how you resisted the temptation to say "Turn it up to 11" ;)
manurok1 1 year ago
@manurok1 You got me there - what was I thinking! Nigel Tuffnal was definitely modelled on Beck's speaking style. Also, Beck was famous for studio recording at outrageously hi volumes, to get
"that sound".
ps: nw, none of us are worthy...

@ben909ben Tabs are fine as long as you're studying the music and training your ear. Tabs used to memorize finger placement doesn't help the progression of the student; it's more or less monkey see monkey do. With or without tabs -- though -- there's a lotta nuances in Jeff's playing that can't be mastered easily.
guitarslinger32269 1 year ago
@guitarslinger32269 So true. One of Beck's coolest qualities is his uniqueness. So if you do learn his stuff note for note, try to take it another direction that is unique to you. Otherwise you really miss out on the best thing about playing the guitar-or any other instrument. Can't blame anyone for wanting to sound like Beck, but just remember not to have that as your ultimate goal-creating something beautiful and original is a much higher aspiration-and more Beck-like than copying his licks.

@ben909ben Personally, I use Audacity or other software/hardware to slow the track I want to learn down until I can pick it up. Then I play along with it and gradually increase the speed back to 100% as I figure out/learn the appropriate hand positions and related techniques to play the tune. Frequently I re-play the same 10-30 seconds over and over until I master the harder parts.
the cool thing is, once I've mastered that tune I've probably added a handful of new techniques to my skills.

@themandolinmaniac I wish I had that kind of space and gear in my life, I've got to get rid of this job I'm too much a slave to. I was just making a feeling statement, I think your approach is wonderful and productive, and I've been thinking of taking lessons. That is how Beck learned, throwing the 45 on the turntable until he wore it out learning the groove or lick. But you know what I mean - Beck can't be "purchased", just adored. cheers
