Yeah that’s terrible news. Another great one gone.

Sad to hear that.

I really got into the Guitar Shop album as a young player. Where Were You was a stand out track for me.

As an adult, Blow By Blow on vinyl has been one of my most-listened-to albums, just love it.

 

[Fireproof]

Yeah Blow by Blow is a classic.

From time to time I would try to copy his style a little because he did influence me off and on. Did some guitar playing for a guy awhile back and this is what came out of it. I don't know if you can hear the jeff beck influence or not but I can. Jeff had a way with his phrasing like he was talking to you and I tried to capture that in this.

At least that dude rocked it until the very end.

I hate that I'm now at the age where the greats leaving us is going to become more common.

He'll still be rocking wherever the next journey leads him! :)

What a loss.

Heard it on the radio on the way home from a roadtrip gear safari. Fuck.

Do you guys think he was the most uncompromising and artisitically credible of all the
Guitar Heroes? He just did his thing. Never sought the limelight. Never joined a big band,
and in fact left more than one big band when they were becoming too popular.

He carved his own path. Almost like a Jazz guy weilding an electric guitar in a rock vein.

Wish he would have played a Tele more. He shined on a Telecaster!

I've never heard a jeff beck song in my life, but he was an integral part of so much of my training as a guitar tech...so many things were like "ok this is how we setup jeff beck's _____". The name was ever present, but in the days of needing to buy any music that I was ever to hear, it never reached the point where I would have bought it over something else.

Where should I start, now with the magic of the internet, songwise to be introduced to what the guy actually played?
