'Ole Slowhand blows a hole thru the wall just prior to 3:00.....this is a stellar performance by all!!! quite enjoyable to say the least!!!!//thnx f/pstng
Used to love Jeff Beck but his "call to Allah" whammy bar playing style is so overwhelmingly boring I want to shoot myself. It's cool for one song, but it's too much of one gimmick; he's lost his touch. What can I say? Islam ruins everything it touches...
@beeroosterm yeah, but I think its part of his playing, many artists take eastern influences into their playing. I think he may have overdone it in this video, but he is still one of the most innovative guitarists going.
@jackwontknow1 He's been whammy-barring/thumbpicking for many years now, but once again I find this technique to be boring and gimmicky. The incessant use of the WB i think takes away from his greatness and am disappointed it has become an integral part of his sound, which now is loud and brash - far less subtle than his former technique. Que sera, sera...
@beeroosterm Hmmm, see, i've always found his unique approach to be really engaging and not gimmicky at all. Jeff may not be the most technically gifted guitar player in the world (though he is quite technically gifted) but damn it if he's not a monster of an artist. His style allows people who listen for that sort of aestheticism to savor every single note, similar to how one might listen to a classical music piece.
@rocknrollguru23 He is indeed gifted, but his "new" style just turns me off. I'm uncertain as to when he made the transition, but much of his old style is gone, and I lament its loss. The constant warbling and wailing seems to me less an artistic expression than an over-reliance on an effect that is best used sparingly. That he has turned it into the biggest part of his technique does not excuse its banality no matter his guitar-God status.
@beeroosterm I guess it depends on what "era" of his music you like. I actually never really cared for his Yardbirds stuff, and I think his music that he made with Rod Stewart is overrated by some Beck fans. My favorite incarnation of Jeff's music is Rough and Ready by far, but I also liked the first two jazz-fusion albums.
I will concede this though, his tone in this video is awful. It really helps when he has a slightly more muscular tone.
@MayChild8 I think it is, this looks like it was from Clapton's Crossroads festival. It's not like it's the worst guitar tone i've ever heard, but listen to it compared to Live at Ronnie Scott's, or a few others.
there are various forms of greatness ... and all of those who actually attain it will tell you this ... it isn't a competition ...
who you prefer is up to you ... i can tell you each of these players sees the greatness in the others ... the gods don't criticize or make comparisons ... only mortals do that ...
I watch this video several times a week for inspiration. I am a drummer, but I am convinced that Jeff Beck is the finest guitarist on the planet. He does not need to play 1000 notes per minute like some of these other guitarists. Clapton will always be a favorite of mine and I believe he played on the greatest live song of all time.......Crossroads....that being said the way Beck works his guitar is without equal.
OK . The lefty guitarist is Doyle Bramhall from Texas. Clapton doesn't steal the show. He was invited by Jeff to play the ripping solo right at that moment to blow your minds...it worked...As far as the competitive aspect you gentlemen want to talk about, when you are at the level of these players, it is all about personal sound and not about ego. Sorry to have to tell you : competing with anyone is to miss the point of playing music altogether.
the younger guitarist has a few tricks to learn but he did better playing next to clapton and jeff than i thinks most would he maintained claptons energy from that solo and transferred it into jeffs very smoothly to talk down on him for not being quite such a standout player is the wrong thing to do hes much younger and less experienced then them it would be a shame if he didn't get to play with these two old masters of music.
In my opinion weighing these three guitarist against each other isn't the right thing to do. Here's what I'm saying Clapton is a great traditional blues player even pushed forward pentatonic scale techniques in his time. Jeff is a guitarist who has a style almost no one even many of the best can emulate 'and is capable of putting emotion deeply within harmonies almost as well as others do with melodies.
whowwwww. man, that was something. Jeff is looking good for being an older man. Nice lean look. And all these comments are very interesting. I think what makes these guys so great is the way they relate to each other. They can actually get up on stage
and it's total communication. And Clapton did NOT steal the show in 20 seconds. grow
@zippers2 i'de disagree, no one gets the subtle nunaces jeff beck gets...he makes the guitar whimper, cry, growl, scream, quiver, like richie blackmore said the guys plays notes i can't even find on my guitar.....frank zappa rating guitarist is a stupid hobby but if you really really backed me into a corner i'de say jeff beck is the best
Why do people always argue about who is a better player? Does it really matter who's solo is "better"? People have their own preferences on who sounds better. All that matters is they played with soul and have passion for their music. Different strokes for different folks. If you people are all about technicality rather than feeling, then go listen to one of Vai or Satriani's records (not saying they don't play with feeling, but judging on the comments it seems some of you are all about speed)
Claptons solo is cool,its typical middle or neck tone with a little speed thrown in to build up the dynamic. Doyle is no slouch but its obvious that Jeff is unimpressed. I disagree with the guy who says eric got his hat handed to him. his part was perfect.who wouldnt want to get busy with that cmin to Abmaj7 f min gmaj7 chord structure. this song is better when eric plays it with jeff
p.s hendrix is dead, he had his chance and decided drugs were better than longevity. He wasnt needed here
@poppyseller1 It seems to me that you think guitar playing is a competition. You say that Jeff is unimpressed but I don't agree with that at all. I think Jeff Beck out of all people has more class than to think "wow, Doyle's solo really sucked compared to what I could do". BTW I think that comment about Hendrix wasn't needed. I don't agree with his use of drugs either, but that isn't going to change my respect or opinion of how important and how great of a guitarist he is.
@poppyseller1 Wow; stick to selling poppies and stop sucking the joy out of music. And, regarding the Hendrix drug comment, what a nasty thing to say.
@yp8087 I honestly think you are right on this but if Jimi was still alive and had been playing all those years like them, I think he would be on there level if not farther. I am a little biased because he is my idol in guitar playing but I think you are right.
@OnlySometimes13 i played guitar for about 6 years and i always had this discussion about what makes great guitarist. For me, i think it's all about the feeling you have between two notes and how to hold them and release them. jeff is master at that. but, when jimi plays it, the solo sounds awesome and technique is better than jeff usually. but, it's not as flow as jeff's solo. you can get technique by practicing long time. but learn how to have that feeling u can't master it by just practicing.
I get nothing out of Clapton's sound. Beck's tone and all the subtle sounds he can create blows Clapton out of the water. Beck can make the guitar sing or talk, and it seems to be alive...telling you a story. I listen to Clapton, an it all sounds the same, but in a different melody. Beck can make a note sound 10 different ways while everyone else sounds the same...
@shawnspeed3 Honestly. People should not talk about music, when they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. You have so much to learn. Eric Clapton - Old Love live Crossroads. Check it out please before you make any other mistakes. You should learn to play guitar before talking about it. Aftreall, Clapton is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. When Beck reaches that point in his life we can talk about equals. Really nice performance from Beck though.
Well, Clapton doesn´t stole the whole song and he doesn´t ruined it. Yes, the whole band switches pace to spotlight but i downloaded the song on mp3, too and i know when EC comes WITHOUT spotlight. And Jeff Beck is like an artisan an EC is like an engineer if you understand me. Eric Clapton can improvise better than Jeff Beck but Jeff Beck is engineering just alien.
..."stole the whole song"...? Jeff B could do what Clapton did... but as Clapton said, he couldn't begin to do what Beck does. This man shows us what "playing" a guitar really means. Beautiful, fine strokes of an artist.
Beck has so much tone! I never understood Clapton's playing (no disrespect intended)...just kinda bored me. Beck is so clever and the tonal range is incredible...almost unreal. Nothing Beck played sounded the same.
clapton didnt steal the show, he ruined it. his tone was overly compressed, his playing sounded monotone and lacked cleaniness. jeff's tone was way cleaner and better polished, it is clearly evident (at least in this video) who was the better guitarist.
Clapton got his hat handed to him. When a player feels outclassed he resorts to speed. I have never heard Clapton play faster than on this song. Beck has tone and technique that Clapton lacks , all Clapton could respond with was speed and Beck is just as fast. Give Beck his due, he is a master of tone.
Yeah, Jeck Beck has been pushing himself so much forward. Beck sound quite defferent to each period. 70s Blues-Rock Beck, 80s Jazz & Fusion Beck, 00s electronic Beck, and it could be much more varieties and possibilities of his tone.
Eric was a blues god thru D. & The D's but never advanced as a guitar player any further, only his vocals got better. Jeff plays with soul and imagination on this tune, Eric plays the same old blues licks, and they really don't say much on this tune, Doyle even had more soul.
When Clapton comes in the whole song simply reaches a new level. The feeling that goes into that little solo is something that cannot be replicated by any other living guitarists. Beck is bloody good though.
Wow. Clapton had to come with that speed to catch up with Beck. Both really awesome guitarist. Doyle is more of an Albert King-man. He is great too, but he can't match (yet) with Becks tornado-style and Claptons blueslicks.
I've only found this vid yesterday, and I've watched it like 30 times since then, Jeff's playing is so emotional, & Eric's solo is..., I'm speechless, I can't describe it at all. it somehow reminded me a bit of the final part of " While My Guitar Gently Weeps" solo that Prince played on his rock n' rock hall of fame induction.
Jeff Beck is without a doubt the finest guitar player on the planet.....no disrespect to Clapton or any other.....how can you listen to this and not come up with the same conclusion??
Both legends with a barrage of music behind their belt, but do you think the lefty was intimidated, cause when he stepped in it felt like beck wanted to say come on kid take it. I wish clapton would have played that part that's all lol anyways ;}>
@Jedelshein No matter how good Clapton is, it seems a bit unfair to draw such comparisons. I mean, Jeff has a peculiar style and so does Clapton. The beauty of this video is that they let us enjoy their magnificent talent.
@MrMusicM67 i think, you don"t understand Jeff Beck, what makes him special IS his touch. He plays with his fingers, there was even a book written on him, i think called magic fingers. Beck has a unique sound, & was the pioneer of many things before Hendrix... FACT
@dan32113 no no lol i understand that im just say that pretty much clapton has his own soun d and jb has his own sound. both very good.. but different.. they wont have eachother touch
@dan32113 i agree...and the great ones all know it...Hendrix admitted to borrowing some of his riffs.....richie blackmore "the guy plays notes i can't even find on a guitar"...frank zappa "rating guitar players is a stupid hobby but if you really backed me into a corner i'de say Jeff Beck is the best"....HEY Clapton is great but other guys sound like him....no one sounds like Beck....the guy is sound in pastels everyone else is crayons
@Jedelshein Clapton may appear to have 'stolen the whole song' to those not fully familiar with Jeff's work and just how good he is. And did you even listen to the rest of the song or did you just miss the incredible notes that JB pulls out of a strat?
The young guy is Doyle Bramhall II. Another great guitar slinger from Texas. His dad is Doyle Bramhall Sr. (drummer) who co-wrote many, many songs with Stevie Ray Vaughan and so he's been around some Stratocasters before. He has worked with the likes of BB King, Susan Tedeschi and others and of course Clapton.
Jeff Beck - AMAZING! How dare Crapton mention his name in the same breath as Beck's! Wow Crapton playing a Blues solo - Whoop - De -Fuckin - Do - playing with Fire? He doesn't own a Lighter! I could do better -Really!
I've been playing guitar for about 15 years now. Big fan of many of the greats... Zappa, Hendrix, Wes mongomery, etc etc. Not sure how I missed him, but never was exposed to much Jeff Beck, every thing I ever hear from him is just incredible. No one I've ever heard gets these sounds so pristine out of a guitar (and yea he makes me realize why a tube amp is the way to go). Thanks man for these bad ass songs :)

Yeah, Jeck Beck has been pushing himself so much forward. Beck sound quite defferent to each period. 70s Blues-Rock Beck, 80s Jazz & Fusion Beck, 00s electronic Beck, and it could be much more varieties and possibilities of his tone.

Eric was a blues god thru D. & The D's but never advanced as a guitar player any further, only his vocals got better. Jeff plays with soul and imagination on this tune, Eric plays the same old blues licks, and they really don't say much on this tune, Doyle even had more soul.

I can't believe this didn't make it to the DVD, and since the DVDs were awesome, should've been a 3-disc DVD. Oh well.

When Clapton comes in the whole song simply reaches a new level. The feeling that goes into that little solo is something that cannot be replicated by any other living guitarists. Beck is bloody good though.

Wow. Clapton had to come with that speed to catch up with Beck. Both really awesome guitarist. Doyle is more of an Albert King-man. He is great too, but he can't match (yet) with Becks tornado-style and Claptons blueslicks.

I've only found this vid yesterday, and I've watched it like 30 times since then, Jeff's playing is so emotional, & Eric's solo is..., I'm speechless, I can't describe it at all. it somehow reminded me a bit of the final part of " While My Guitar Gently Weeps" solo that Prince played on his rock n' rock hall of fame induction.

Jeff Beck is without a doubt the finest guitar player on the planet.....no disrespect to Clapton or any other.....how can you listen to this and not come up with the same conclusion??

in 20 seconds Clapton stole the whole song! I'm astonished, he's such a good player, Beck is awesome too!
Jedelshein 1 year ago 22
Both legends with a barrage of music behind their belt, but do you think the lefty was intimidated, cause when he stepped in it felt like beck wanted to say come on kid take it. I wish clapton would have played that part that's all lol anyways ;}>

@Jedelshein No matter how good Clapton is, it seems a bit unfair to draw such comparisons. I mean, Jeff has a peculiar style and so does Clapton. The beauty of this video is that they let us enjoy their magnificent talent.

MrMusicM67 2 months ago
@MrMusicM67 i think, you don"t understand Jeff Beck, what makes him special IS his touch. He plays with his fingers, there was even a book written on him, i think called magic fingers. Beck has a unique sound, & was the pioneer of many things before Hendrix... FACT
dan32113 2 months ago
@dan32113 no no lol i understand that im just say that pretty much clapton has his own soun d and jb has his own sound. both very good.. but different.. they wont have eachother touch

@dan32113 i agree...and the great ones all know it...Hendrix admitted to borrowing some of his riffs.....richie blackmore "the guy plays notes i can't even find on a guitar"...frank zappa "rating guitar players is a stupid hobby but if you really backed me into a corner i'de say Jeff Beck is the best"....HEY Clapton is great but other guys sound like him....no one sounds like Beck....the guy is sound in pastels everyone else is crayons

@Jedelshein Clapton may appear to have 'stolen the whole song' to those not fully familiar with Jeff's work and just how good he is. And did you even listen to the rest of the song or did you just miss the incredible notes that JB pulls out of a strat?

The young guy is Doyle Bramhall II. Another great guitar slinger from Texas. His dad is Doyle Bramhall Sr. (drummer) who co-wrote many, many songs with Stevie Ray Vaughan and so he's been around some Stratocasters before. He has worked with the likes of BB King, Susan Tedeschi and others and of course Clapton.

I've been playing guitar for about 15 years now. Big fan of many of the greats... Zappa, Hendrix, Wes mongomery, etc etc. Not sure how I missed him, but never was exposed to much Jeff Beck, every thing I ever hear from him is just incredible. No one I've ever heard gets these sounds so pristine out of a guitar (and yea he makes me realize why a tube amp is the way to go). Thanks man for these bad ass songs :)
