@chillichomper Expanding on 7000Ironman below: Hendrix became a prodigy in America but he was a misfit on the "chitlin circuit." Chaz Chandler took him to London for just that reason in '66 - the "Clapton is God" days. Jimi promptly took Clapton's crown right off his head on Cream's own stage, and the rest is history (if you bother to research it for yourself). I'm a Jeff Beck fan myself; that's why I wound up here. But your post is uninformed and that's what the "Thumbs Down" is all about.
@grevejp44 used to play some AL, and eruption i lost interest in when i hit 20 to more sophisticated players such as beck and morse, also loved gary moore. but your correct shredding -style- evolved in the early 70`s - like with larry carleton or john mclaughlin...
@PRODIGYat43 clearly never heard van halen or al di meola. look up eruption by van halen, duel of the jester and the tyrant by return to forever, and flight over rio by al di meola.
The best thing about Jeff Beck is that he doesn't stick to one style his career. Clapton as good as he was only played blues(even tears in heaven has a bluesy solo). Jeff learned to use finger tapping and went from blues to jazz to rock. That is the sign of a true musician.
@Rampant7990 for me-the shredding term didnt even come into existance until skateboarders used it in the 90's. so to define shredding to me -is very fast technical playing virtuosity such as malmsteen or paul gilbert--this is well beyond the scope of "shredders" its too imaginative and creative...shredding is fast nonstop playing --but thats my opinion--this has feeling and hits the rights spots for me...
I can still remember when I first heard this when I was 15... the feeling I had discover a gold mine :-)

This album is amazing. Not a bad note or moment on it. Won a Grammy but should have sold a lot more.
