    I think one of the most impressive things Jeff Beck is that he has never stayed stuck. Too many of his contemporaries are still essentially playing what they did 40 years ago. Jeff keeps moving forward and trying new things. He's an inspiration.

    Now that Jeff is gone, you should interview Tal Wilkenfeld as a tribute. I'd like to hear her take on playing with this legacy of a guitar player.
  • This is The best tribute to Jeff Beck. RIP. Thank you Mr. Rick Beato

    RIP Jeff. His ability to sing through the instrument is unmatched. šŸ’œ
  • I was a singer in a band in the South of Scotland in the late 60s (The State Property) in the little town of Galashiels and we were booked to back The Jeff Beck Group in Selkirk Victoria hall in 1968 and the following night at Carlisle Corn Exchange. Oh my God!! Jeff Beck, Ron Wood, Aynsley Dunbar on drums and Rod Stewart on song !! What a ball we had!!!!!!
  • Jeff made it look so easy to be flawless. His presence raised the level of guitar playing in our lifetime. He was the high bar. One of a kind. Thank You Jeff Beck!

    Iā€™m watching this again after Jeffā€™s sudden passing. A fine tribute to a uniquely gifted and generous musician who mentored the next generations of artists. Respect. Godspeed šŸ™šŸ’œ
  • RIP to one of the original greatest guitarists EVER. Period. My brother and I saw him play an instrumental version of "A Day in the Life" at Clapton's CROSSROADS concert back in 2010 in Bridgeview, IL. It was a hot humid night. He poured a handful of talcum powder on his hands and just played thru his amp... no effects. His hands were all white and chalky. It was the one of the most sublime guitar performances I ever witnessed. Me and my brother just looked at each other speechless - I practically wept when it was over. I never wanted the song to end. I will never forget that.
  • It is truly amazing that Jeff Beck was still performing Live right up to his untimely death. So glad you got to see him Live(for what you didn't realise would be the last time). Thank you for this video. Jeff's playing is haunting, its a heavenly experience.

    My name is Phil Dwight on Max channel.....I am a bassist of 50 years plus and really love your passion and knowledge...Jeff is my favorite and his playing brings me to tears..Thank you Rick .
  • This is why I love Rick Beato. He is able to put into words what the rest of us feel. He dissects Beckā€™s phrasing and touch with surgical precision, but does so with almost child-like awe, never with an I-know-more-than-you-about-music attitude. He helps me APPRECIATE Beckā€™s gift. It reminds me of looking at a piece of artā€¦then taking an art history classā€¦maybe learn something about the artist, or the era in which the artist worked. You go back and look at the painting and itā€™s like a totally new piece of work. See, the painting hasnā€™t changed. You have. Rick changes the way I see and hear things, and in my book, there is no greater praise for a teacher. Thank you, Rick.
  • What makes Jeff Beck uncopyable: his brain, his tone, his touch, itā€™s almost like the guitar is plugged into his soul.

    Wonderful comments for an unbelievably-unique, gifted musician, now so sadly passed on. I never tire of his playing, particularly at Ronnie Scott's. Just sensational. I cried huge tears of sadness and respect for Jeff Beck when he died. Thank you so much for your respect and admiration in this video. And we haven't touched on the subject of hot rods!

    Jeff is STILL my all-time favorite guitarist! And the first solo I ever learn was by Jeff when he was with my ALL-TIME favorite group, the Yardbirds. And the solo is from "Mr Your A Better Man Than I". Which personally I rank as one of my favorite solos and considering it was recorded in 1965, just shows how advanced Jeff was. To this day, I get goose pimps when I listen to it! Thank you Rick for sharing you LOVE and uncontrollable enthusiasm for Jeff!!
  • I always feel bad for Jason Rebello whenever this "Live at Ronnie Scotts" album and video are discussed. He is the keyboard player at this gig, but almost never gets mentioned. You can imagine how good you must have to be to warrant sharing a stage with Jeff Beck, and to have him pick you for his band! Vinny and Tal are always mentioned, so I'm going to give Jason his due. Bravo to all of these amazing players.
  • @maudessen573
    Iā€™m so glad you put this up while Jeff was still with us. Heā€™s been my favorite guitarist since he was in the Yardbirds. What a virtuoso. RIP Jeff.

    Jeff Beck's "BLOW BY BLOW" threw the gauntlet down! I'd listened to him and followed him in his various rock groups all through the 60s, loving his style. But "Blow by Blow" revealed an astonishing depth of musicality barely hinted at previously. It's the all-time great guitar record of my time, IMHO. And then he gave us "WIRED" to seal the deal. I always say: "There's Jeff Beck, and then everyone else." He's the greatest electric guitar player of my time. Like your friend said, Rick: "He's one of one." And so it it...

    Jeff in my eyes was the greatest guitarist to walk this earth. He would never admit it but he definately was. Rip Jeff Beck
