I'm a guitarist and also have a sitar which I play very badly! One prerequisite is being able to sit on the floor with your legs crossed and your left foot with the sole facing up to hold the beast! Anyway, as far as I'm concerned it's the most difficult instrument to play. I have the greatest re...

For the dislikers: if you don't like fast and/or virtuosic playing, he does some really beautiful slower pieces too! Unfortunately it's still virtuosic. For those who think they have seen a better, more versatile guitar player, please tell us all who it is!

This is a great song! Check out her other songs on iTunes or amazon. I've got them all

Great! Some actual guitar playing along with all the gymnastics! I think he could do a lot more than he does but plays what people expect of him.

Well, it's hard to tell about this one because the sound is so bad. It seems that he's lost a bit of his passion over the years. A rather lackluster version IMHO.

Great technique! If you can harness it and create some good music, you should do well. One thing that I noticed is you are so relaxed and casual looking; looks like you could do this in your sleep!

Great stuff! It's not about being "perfect" but just playing your heart out. The music these guys came up with is incredible regardless of "musicianship or whatever. The recordings are amazing considering the technology of the time and the amount of time(short) in the studio.

Too bad you can't hear the guitars better. Are those Marshalls? I think I actually saw Beck and Page together. It's kind of a blurr because I was only 15 and the thing that got etched into my brain is the fact that they had piles of speaker cabinets and were making the loudest noise I had ever he...

The solo probably blew everyone's mind because it was maybe the loudest thing they'd ever heard not to mention totally different than anything else being done in those days. The solo on the studio version is amazing. I've tried to duplicate it but, even after 47 years of playing, some of the timi...

Give Jeff a good tune and just stand back and be amazed! I missed this line up cuz I didn't think I could get into the rockabilly thing. Kind of regret it now. It was probably a more pristine setting for his melodic stylings.

For example go to the New Orleans Jazz fest version to see a different solo.

@1m2a3t4t5 Are you kidding? JB has always been ahead of the pack. Ever hear Jeff's Boogie and Shapes of Things with the Yardbirds? Toward the end of his career with the Yardbirds they began to put his name on the Marquee i.e. the Yardbirds featuring Jeff Beck and he was "just" the guitar player.
