This beautiful song written by Stevie Wonder and sung by an ex wife Syreeta Wright..is so precious...and yes I have always treasured this version as well ~ If you have not heard the lyrics please check them out as Syreeta sings them...the track is worth the price of the album if you can find it ~
clapton ought to hang up his guitar.........as far as feedback use, lyrical tone, and most other intagibles, Clapton doesn't even come close to Jeff Beck, Roy Buchanan, Frank Zappa, or even Lowell George or Duane Allman.....fucking junkie, I hate when people bring up Clapton, he sucks.
@caulinrocker1 well, obviously he's a better player than ME, so maybe suck doesn't work there....I stand corrected. I've heard moments and passages of genius from him, but I've just never been gaga, never quite got the hype....but who the fuck am I? Gimme Pat Metheny, or Hendrix, or George Benson, or Trey Anastasio, or Zappa over EC, imho.....i agree though, not the normal rock legend, but possibly the most popular
@MrStevietRI ive never been "gaga" either but ive recently been listening alot but i still think hes a bit over-hyped since there are people just as good with less fame
@caulinrocker1 Sorry, man, there is Jeff Beck, then there is NOTHING for quite a bit, and then there is the REST. There is no one like Jeff Beck, no one "just as good", period
@micanut48 he is indeed one of the best ... but i personally thin chet atkins is the best technical guitarist ever ... but that is my opinion and you have your own ... but on the other hand there is a huge gap between jeff and the guitarist considered to be lesser to him
@zer00g33k Yes and we ladies know that the way a Master of Guitar handles his Instrument he also handles his Lady in the flesh. OH YES!!!!! Makes those strings sing + voice as he does his lovers. I WOULD BET my life on that. WEW!!!!! Chilllllllllls. :-)))))) <3 to all. All of humanity listening to this ONE BEING they would awake from their eons of sleeping their lives away.XXXOOO zer00g33k <--Your s/n gave me some great Angel #'s Thanks!!!!! XXXOOO For you. :-)
Beck plays with his bass all the way down and his tone all the way up-The man who made the pick ups on that Strat died a while ago--I think his name was Doug Buhr. He uses a channel switcher and a Snarling Dog Wah-thats it plus the JCM 900's most of the time but he does switch up- But it's his technique and applications that make him the best---@craemac--your son knows his stuff :)
man this is real guitar playing right here so much soul and feeling! alot of these fast guitar playing nowday have great skill but can never and will never can compose a song like this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@MrBac755 it's just practice really, give it a go, it may take a while, but you'll definitely get it eventually! It's quite fun, but yeah... for jeff beck's technique, aside from watching videos of him, check out some of mike casswell's lesson's, they're really the best I've seen for Jeff's stuff, they'll probably be on youtube tbh
No pedals or gimmicks, just his thumb and forefinger, how many of the so-called zillions of talented guitarists can say that, even if you get to the level of say an Eric Clapton...
@44eelz You would be correct. That would be Jeff's guitar which has been modified to have a direct line to God who just happens to be having sex at the time of every Jeff Beck performance. Yes... even when he practices at home (assuming that he practices).
@44eelz That's interesting what you say. You only hear notes, but no music. Could you give me a song where you hear music. (I'm not hating you, just interested)
@44eelz@44eelz Do you know there's an actual medical term for this genetic dysfunction? :) I don't remember, but supposedly, not many people know about it...
ONE OF A KIND. Man nobody bends with the whammy bar like him. I been playin Cause We Ended As Lovers by bendin the strings. When I saw this video, it blew me away, that he was doin "teh bends" with the bar !!!I wish Hendrix didnt die. I would have loved to see him and Beck jam today.
Jeff Beck Is Tops! I am proud to say, I own this same exact same Fender Strat - Color, picks ups and all! Thanks for the upload! I like Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page too! This strolled up on my channel video - Country Girl - Same guitar played in the video song! I'm glad it showed up! Thumbs UP!
People bash Dragonforce because other people bash`em, they just go with the flow. It`s a pretty fun band with good musicians, nothing to do with Mr. Beck.
Anyone who disregards Jeff Beck is lacking grey matter. Too much whammy? Try innovator. From the yardbirds to today, he has been incredibly inventive- who else would be a forerunner of the use of controlled distortion in the early to mid 1960's, and then come up with Nadia in 2001? So he may not have Hendrix's unlimited imagination and raw emotion, nor Roy Buchanan's outrageous technique, how can you really compare them? Beck is amazing, and that is an indisputable fact.

12 years old and I love soulful guitar playing like this. Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Nuno Bettencourt, Brian May. All them. More than half my friends think I'm weird or "gay" for listening to them though. And wanting to play guitar like them. And be like them when I get older. I do play guitar too.
People like Jeff Beck, Billy Gibbons, Clapton, Vai, BB King and the likes have always had the personal satisfaction of playing a guitar as their main driving point, and playing with that mind set creates a unique sound that you use to express that satisfaction, I don't know if that makes sense, but a truly uniquely styled guitarist like Beck or Knoffler are successful because of the side effect of playing guitar only for yourself, and that's being freaking good at it.
IDK if i'm the only one who thinks this, and I encourage you to down vote me if I'm wrong, but this sounds terrible compared to the album version.
I have the image of a retarded chimp playing on stage while the crowd is silent in disgust forever burned into my memory. I'm gonna defuse a joke here: no that wasn't my performance the other night.
There a lots of great guitar players around, that for one reason or another never get discovered and never reach the big-time. I have a friend who has been playing for 35 plus years and had a band called Chicago Smoke Shop as a teenager. People will say I'm full of it, but Darren is as good if not better than SRV and easily better than Clapton as a player. Song writing is another matter.But handle a Stratocaster he certainly can and sing too.
@R0ckers2R0ckers Your story is an old one. Pure talent is actually quite common; there are a zillion great players out there but few recognized talents. It was practically impossible to get noticed 30 years ago when circumstances were favorable - now it's like winning the lottery...
@beeroosterm Some people don't like it if you have an opinion. Like when they start going on about who is the best guitar player? Vai is Good, Satriani and the likes are good, but have they written more successfull songs than say, Dave Gilmour or Dylan, Knopfler,SRV, Hendrix,Page,Edge,Johnny Marr,KeeF,? They all play guitar.But for me the artist who can play, write AND sing an Iconic song makes them a better guitarist musician all round.IMHO
@beeroosterm And what talents do you have? Actually I don't want to know. Go listen to something else if you don't like it, youre the only complainer here,
@robmatlivingstone I'm not really complaining. I think I have a valid point, though...And I do have a talent for playing guitar; I've played this song for the last 35 years. Perhaps it's why I feel compelled to comment on it...
@beeroosterm Whammy bars can take a bit of getting used to. He is awesome without one I agree, he just gets better and better. Townshends another guy big on the whammy bar these days, he's a wicked lead player now. Cheers.
@NINMILLA009 Well, Andy Timmons has a killer tone too. In my opinion, it's half and half between Jeff and Andy. Well, Andy Timmons said himself that his favorite guitar show of all time was by Jeff.
@TheOldcountryboy Not a problem - just listen to it on Beck's "Wired" album. He plays it like it was meant to be played - without the whammy bar. I love Jeff Beck, but his excessive whammy'ing these days drives me batty.
@robmatlivingstone Dear Jeff, I know you're bored, but your excessive use of the whammy bar on this tune kills the sublime subtlety of your phrasing which originally attracted me to the tune (along with the beautiful melody, of course). And if there's one thing I've learned in this world, it's that if I've thought of it, so have many others. Sometimes less is more. Finally, I know it's your tune and you'll play it any damned way you feel - doesn't mean I have to like it...
@beeroosterm Jeff here - I'm really upset now - there's one prima donna out there that does'nt like my whammy bar. I looked up 'batty' and it says it is a slang term for Erectile Dysfunction. Is this correct and can you give me some guitar lessons please. Maybe you could be my manager too and I'll get it right.
@beeroosterm Hi ya and thanks for your reply. I don't believe I have ever heard the original, which I am told is was written by Stevie Wonder. Is this correct? I have a Fender Stratocaster, but I don't use the vibrato bar as this is a whole skill on it's own and playing guitar is difficult enough right? So why make it more so. Regards, Tony
@R0ckers2R0ckers It was written by Stevie Wonder but I've never heard anything but Beck's instrumental version. The whammy bar I believe should be used sparingly. Beck seems to think differently. The fact that I question his use of it appears to piss a few people off; after all, he is Jeff Beck and therefore infallible...
@robmatlivingstone Please do your research well, it was acrually the other way around. Jimi was playing more venues at that time. They were both great artists. The true point is we will never know as everything written primarily about Hendrix is hearsay, many words from his own mouth, however much what people perceived post death. We will never no how amazing he would have been, however, both artists were simply amazing, also Santana, Clapton, and many others.
@cammicty Uh, sorry but Beck was THE guitar hereo at the time with the Yardbirds from Feb 65 to Nove 66. Hendrix was playing clubs during this time as Jimmy James. I constantly have to correct people, they are so stupid.
@robmatlivingstone Sweetie, you are the stupid one. I've done extensive research on Hendrix,,, yes he was playing in CLubs, however in the USA he was already being marketed, where Beck was in the UK. They're bot good and amazing and have they're own styles. Beck was a duo with Stewart & Hendrix was also at Woodstock. Bottom line they all have their different styles.
his music sends chills up my spine....his licks are sooooo sticky, I keep humming them even when do the missionary style. : ).Mow, i don't know which my wife likes, the sex or the sound i'm making.
Enjoy music, who cares if this or that person plays fast or slow. It is just personal taste. I like all kind of genres. I hear rock, hard rock, metal, jazz, folk. It depens in my feeling. And as Les paul said once, the best guitarist is not the fastest, the best guitarist is the person that even touching one note can make you cry or make you feel better.
Damn! How does he remember all his bends, silent bends, his vibrato technique, his tremolo work and hit everything in pitch? Amazing and hardly a dud note in the performance. What legend
@R0ckers2R0ckers Beck has been playing this tune for almost 40 years - it comes naturally. And this tune is not written out and played the same way each time. He's good enough to wing it within the parameters of the original. And as I said above - I think he kills the beauty of the song with excessive whammy bar. Christ, it sounds like he's calling the faithful to prayer in Istanbul...
The song was written in the early 70's by Stevie Wonder and originally recorded by his then-wife Syreeta Wright, who performed under the name Syreeta.
@Dethsquirrel I Have played the guitar for 23 years now... Although Dragonforce is a bit over the top, it was used to demonstrate the range of guitar players putting their heart and soul into their art. Ive never bought a ticket to the show, but I know Herman can shredd and his fans love to watch him go...
I hope he feels as amazing inside as this sounds.

People will say I'm full of it, but Darren is as good if not better than SRV and easily better than Clapton as a player. Song writing is another matter.But handle a Stratocaster he certainly can and sing too.

@R0ckers2R0ckers Your story is an old one. Pure talent is actually quite common; there are a zillion great players out there but few recognized talents. It was practically impossible to get noticed 30 years ago when circumstances were favorable - now it's like winning the lottery...

@robmatlivingstone Assalamu Alaikum! Beck should be playing this five times a day, because it sounds like he's calling the faithful to prayer...

@beeroosterm Some people don't like it if you have an opinion. Like when they start going on about who is the best guitar player? Vai is Good, Satriani and the likes are good, but have they written more successfull songs than say, Dave Gilmour or Dylan, Knopfler,SRV, Hendrix,Page,Edge,Johnny Marr,KeeF,? They all play guitar.But for me the artist who can play, write AND sing an Iconic song makes them a better guitarist musician all round.IMHO

@robmatlivingstone I'm not really complaining. I think I have a valid point, though...And I do have a talent for playing guitar; I've played this song for the last 35 years. Perhaps it's why I feel compelled to comment on it...

@beeroosterm Whammy bars can take a bit of getting used to. He is awesome without one I agree, he just gets better and better. Townshends another guy big on the whammy bar these days, he's a wicked lead player now. Cheers.

@NINMILLA009 Well, Andy Timmons has a killer tone too. In my opinion, it's half and half between Jeff and Andy. Well, Andy Timmons said himself that his favorite guitar show of all time was by Jeff.

got to find a way to do this song without a whammy bar (on my guitar it kills the tuning)
TheOldcountryboy 1 year ago
@TheOldcountryboy Not a problem - just listen to it on Beck's "Wired" album. He plays it like it was meant to be played - without the whammy bar. I love Jeff Beck, but his excessive whammy'ing these days drives me batty.

@beeroosterm Jeff Beck here - sorry about the 'exceesive' whammy bar that drives 1 person in the world 'batty'. I'll stop right now.
robmatlivingstone 1 year ago
@robmatlivingstone Dear Jeff, I know you're bored, but your excessive use of the whammy bar on this tune kills the sublime subtlety of your phrasing which originally attracted me to the tune (along with the beautiful melody, of course). And if there's one thing I've learned in this world, it's that if I've thought of it, so have many others. Sometimes less is more. Finally, I know it's your tune and you'll play it any damned way you feel - doesn't mean I have to like it...

@beeroosterm Jeff here - I'm really upset now - there's one prima donna out there that does'nt like my whammy bar. I looked up 'batty' and it says it is a slang term for Erectile Dysfunction. Is this correct and can you give me some guitar lessons please. Maybe you could be my manager too and I'll get it right.

@beeroosterm Hi ya and thanks for your reply. I don't believe I have ever heard the original, which I am told is was written by Stevie Wonder. Is this correct? I have a Fender Stratocaster, but I don't use the vibrato bar as this is a whole skill on it's own and playing guitar is difficult enough right? So why make it more so. Regards, Tony
R0ckers2R0ckers 1 year ago
@R0ckers2R0ckers It was written by Stevie Wonder but I've never heard anything but Beck's instrumental version. The whammy bar I believe should be used sparingly. Beck seems to think differently. The fact that I question his use of it appears to piss a few people off; after all, he is Jeff Beck and therefore infallible...

The best electric guitarist there is. This guy influenced Hendrix even!
robmatlivingstone 1 year ago
@robmatlivingstone Please do your research well, it was acrually the other way around. Jimi was playing more venues at that time. They were both great artists. The true point is we will never know as everything written primarily about Hendrix is hearsay, many words from his own mouth, however much what people perceived post death. We will never no how amazing he would have been, however, both artists were simply amazing, also Santana, Clapton, and many others.

@cammicty Uh, sorry but Beck was THE guitar hereo at the time with the Yardbirds from Feb 65 to Nove 66. Hendrix was playing clubs during this time as Jimmy James. I constantly have to correct people, they are so stupid.
robmatlivingstone 1 year ago
@robmatlivingstone Sweetie, you are the stupid one. I've done extensive research on Hendrix,,, yes he was playing in CLubs, however in the USA he was already being marketed, where Beck was in the UK. They're bot good and amazing and have they're own styles. Beck was a duo with Stewart & Hendrix was also at Woodstock. Bottom line they all have their different styles.

@cammicty Hendrix was completely unknown till he was brought to England by Chas Chandler in late 1966. Everyone knows that,

Enjoy music, who cares if this or that person plays fast or slow. It is just personal taste. I like all kind of genres. I hear rock, hard rock, metal, jazz, folk. It depens in my feeling. And as Les paul said once, the best guitarist is not the fastest, the best guitarist is the person that even touching one note can make you cry or make you feel better.

Music is all a big circle. It's not a line spectrum.
Music is universal.
Enjoy the music that appeals to you, but don't bitch about the other genres..if you respect music, then respect all of it.

I have the impression Steve Vai's 'Tender Surrender' was inspired by Jeff. I can tell because he plays most of it without a plectrum.

R0ckers2R0ckers 1 year ago
@R0ckers2R0ckers Beck has been playing this tune for almost 40 years - it comes naturally. And this tune is not written out and played the same way each time. He's good enough to wing it within the parameters of the original. And as I said above - I think he kills the beauty of the song with excessive whammy bar. Christ, it sounds like he's calling the faithful to prayer in Istanbul...

@Dethsquirrel I Have played the guitar for 23 years now... Although Dragonforce is a bit over the top, it was used to demonstrate the range of guitar players putting their heart and soul into their art. Ive never bought a ticket to the show, but I know Herman can shredd and his fans love to watch him go...
