Jeff Beck

One of the most prolific times in the history of music were the 60's. Guitar playes like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Robert Fripp and Jeff Beck are from that era.

In this particular post I'm gonna talk 'bout Jeff Beck...

The man that easily could sweep and brush away you with his guitar skills. The man who just needs, a Fender guitar and a Marshall amplifier to kick your ass and made you realise that you have an awful lot to learn from him.

While Jimi Hendrix crossed the Atlantic, and established himself at the United Kingdom, all the guitar players, except 2 of them, were afraid by the skills of the legendary guitarist. Guess who were the 2 guitar players who, revered Hendrix and were not afraid of him? Robert Fripp and Jeff Beck

It's funny, there are some random facts 'bout Jeff Beck. The one that interested me the most, and seems to be the most funny, is that he is trying to make us people forget that he plays guitar. But it's quite hard, 'cause the man is a WIZARD!

He played with some of the finest rock n' roll musicians, ranging from Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Guns n' Roses and Joe Perry (From Aerosmith), Steve Lukather (from the band TOTO), Sting, and Roger Waters (He played the guitars in the album Amused to Death). In fact, rumors say that he was being considered to be part of both The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd.

With that in mind, I guess you people should not have doubts that he's amazing, isn't it? Well, there are more than just facts. And that's music.

He's so amazing, that he even lets young musicians join him and play with him. Which is the case of his bass player, Tal Wilkenfield. (Who I must say, is ma' kind of girl ha ha, cute and musician), Joss Stone (I have no clue why Brian May didn't wanted to play with her, and likes Mika!?) and Imohen Heap (I don't like her that much but, anyway)...



- Seriously, the way this man plays the guitar could drive you insane. And inspire you as well.

Jeff Beck, a true guitar master. Thanks for all the inspiration man, I don't know if you'll ever read this but, this post is for you man!
