You can’t do a thing on Jeff Beck without at least mentioning his absolutely seminal, from a guitarist’s perspective, work on Blow by Blow. It’s one of best guitar-o-centric records ever recorded. It influenced EVERYONE and blew our minds and even inspired some to throw in the towel and give up guitar probably. It basically blew the guitar competition out of the water. Everyone said, holy crap, that cat can really play. It’s like when Zappa put out Hot Rats, same same but different, seminal guitar based fusion that was light years ahead of the competition.
Well, let me know when you find someone who gave up guitar playing because someone played better than them. That's ridiculous. About Zappa, don't be absurd, the jazzers like Herb Ellis, Tal Farlow, Wes Montgomery, could play jazz circles, around Zappa. He couldn't touch the real McCoys. I do believe that Zappa's stuff was creative. But, genious: That is a stretch. The rock guys are creative, but as far as musicianshiip, they'd have to catch the jazz guys and the classical players, and most of them could not do that. Don't kid yourself about Zappa's playing. He did evolve in his playing but by no stretch was he anywhere near as good as the real jazzers. I'd give him credit mainly as a songwriter. His jamming was nothing to write home about.
Jeff continued to innovate till the very end. It cost him financially to abandon having a “front man”, or looking for hit records … But it gained him the respect and admiration of all of his peers. A singular talent.
One of my favorite quotes from an American Musician was from Roky Erickson of the 13th Floor Elevators.. he said they were jamming in 1965 working on their material with Tommy Hall and that when Yardbirds or the Kinks came on they all looked at each other and said "THEY'RE IN ON IT" - Roky was mostly referring to the non 'standard' blues electric thing, and the revereration / feedback styles.
Good history lesson here, thanks! That era of music was absolutely amazing. Almost-alien cultural influences entering rock 'n roll from all directions, the innovation in technique... 100 years of music crammed into a few decades fueled by psychedelic mind-bending spices and foreign musical languages.
02:53 From the movie Blow Up (1966) Beck would never break a guitar on stage. He prizes them too much. The director insisted he break one. The guitar being broken was more of a cheap movie prop guitar.
True. That's an edited shot from the movie " Blow-up". Funny scene. Page was on stage also." Blow-up" was an interesting mystery movie. As you know, but some people don't, that was a cameo scene from a club.
Re 4:13: Beck played an Esquire & Les Pauls w/the Yardbirds; no 'whammy-bars' yet. In the JBG, he sometimes used Stratocasters, ie: 'whammy-bars', but even then, on the first 2 JBG US tours, he used only Les Pauls.
I don't know if you're a liar, controversialist, or an idiot. Keith Richards was using his guitar to swing at a guy coming after his singer. He was saving him
I loved The Yardbirds "Pop" tunes to be honest. Still do to this day. But yeah, I'm glad those three fellas went out to do their own thing! What's their names?
Jeff Beck was always Jeff Beck. He clearly had a vision of what modern guitar should be. And he stuck with that. He's not alone. Page, Clapton, Hendrix, Trower, Eddie, Randy all felt the same way. None better than the other.
It’s like when the rich are mentally bonkers but harmless and they enjoy the luxury of being called “eccentric”. Jeff Beck was so talented that no one would call him out for his behavior - it’s justified via artistic grace.
As a teen guitarist Jeff Beck was one of my influence and my group played most of the Yardbirds stuff. We played other stuff like Animals and Rolling Stones things. Beck was was doing different stuff they we loved at that time.
Beck wasn’t playing in that no pick whammy bar, Fender style at all back in that day. He was a Les Paul player who brought a lot of rockabilly and distorted blues and aggression to the table. He didn’t pick up those other techniques until after his Wired phase in the late 70s
@@gregshirley4471 Beck origially used an Esquire, the cheaper, single-pickup version of a Telecaster. Never a Telecaster,(he had one, but was never seen playing it). Soon after he used Les Pauls. On Jeff Beck Group recordings, he used Les Pauls & Strats, but toured w/Les Pauls only. As a solo act, mostly Strats, a Jackson for one record. The last couple decades, only Strats.
Beck sometimes used whammy-barred Strats on Jeff Beck Group recordings, but was still touring only w/LesPauls. During his VERY short rockabilly period, he played a Gretsch. As a solo act, his % of Strat-time increased until it was his only choice, for at least the last couple decades.
@@lazur1 Yes on the Strats earlier than Wired. For example, there's a RUclips video of the group playing "Definitely Maybe" on the Beat Club in 1972, and he's using a Strat.
The guitar smashing scene at 2.56 was a scene from the film 'Blowup'. You can see that it's a cheap crap guitar and Beck was apparently against it but director Michaelangelo Antonioni insisted. It's not being honest to imply that this was part of Beck's character, which it certainly wasn't. I saw him with the Yardbirds in 1965 and he certainly didn't smash anything then!
Jeff beck was to 1960's guitar playing is what Claude Monet was to 1800's oil painting.... two out of control geniuses...similar to each other in so many ways.
Jeff Beck is the most famous unknown guitarist in rock history. Incredible player and yet mostly unknown to today’s generations and even many folks back in the Rock Generation. When Clapton was hanging with Delaney and Bonnie (Beginning of the end for his Blues), Delaney told him “if you don’t learn to sing, you’ll always just be ‘the guitar player’”. So Clapton took up singing and became who he is. Jeff Beck never went that route. He was happy to just be a guitar player beyond all measurement. But his fame suffered accordingly.
Eric was maybe a little snotty but he was very convicted about his playing he had already moved on in his mind he wanted to do a new thing he did he changed guitar in the Blues Breaker's then formed Cream he didn't play it safe he was inventing rock guitar 🎸👍 that's music history he was the man to bet 🙂👍
The spelling error in your last sentence makes your comment more accurate. (Also, you should run get you a pregnancy test after missing that many periods. 😜)
Thank you for the effort, but it bothered me that you showed so many reversed images. If a person watches this video it is because they are a guitarist or at least a guitar aficionado. Jeff Beck was not left handed at any time of his life.
Don't watch a lot of RUclips, do ya? This is practically standard practice on non-fiction historical videos, usually in an effort to evade bots that patrol for copyrighted visual material.
Jeff Beck was always an innovator but didn't become the Jazz-Rock Fusion phenom of "Blow by Blow" until he was inspired by Mahavushnu Orch.keybordist Jan Hammer. ( there was a live J.B.& Jam Hammer recording I think before Blow by Blow) I listened to Truth, Beckola, The JBG. I.M.O. it's a case of the myth & legend is bigger than actual reality. I'm not very impressed w/ those 3 albums "Rough & Ready" was different band members (better than the 1st three albums). Beck, Bogert & Appice (loved it). After that, he became the Jeff Beck that we are now so impressed with. R.I.P.
Jeff Beck is definitely the best guitar player no one ever listened to.....ask 1000 people to name a Jeff Beck song and 999 or 1000 won't be able to give you one.
Clapton was a little safe? How about banal, hackneyed, predictable? Hohum, he has always been a borefest, jealous to the core of a sophisticated player Mick Taylor.
And Liberace was a bold, innovative purist? Jeff Beck said it best, he was always willing to admit that he was a "flash guitar player" who's hands were not strong enough to bend strings very well. There you have it folks!
That Dick Clark tour was a pile of cr@p for the bands in it. 3-4 songs each, same hits over and over and terrible touring conditions…its no wonder he got fed up. I think Jeff got a bad rap for being over the top based on this one incident that didn’t reflect his true personality. Remember, back then Hendrix burned his guitar, Townsend smashed guitars and amps… it was a thing.
Beck smashed that guitar in a scene from the film 'Blowup' on the insistance of director Michaelangelo Antonioni. It wasn't something he would have done naturally.
He was just trying to sound like a pedal steel guitar with the volume swells and the vibrato. Frequent no-shows, and he didn't seem to be bothered by letting the band down: Nice. That's what I'd call not giving a crap about your fellow musicians, the crowd and the promoter. Self indulgence. There are no excuses for how he behaved and how he left. He as a self indulgent jerk for doing those things the way that he did them.
If you knew anything about the subject and did a bit of historical homework - he was already getting elbowed out of the band with the arrival of his very ambitious schoolmate since the age of thirteen, Jimmy Page. There wasn't enough room for two lead guitarists. It was time to roll on.
JEFF BECK WAS AND IS DEFINITELY A NOISE PLAYER. NOT MUCH INTERESTED IN MAKING MUSIC JUST NOISES BUT HEY SOME PEOPLE ARE INTO NOISES. I HAVE SOME FARTS THEY WOULD ENJOY. WELL MAYBE NOT MINE BUT I'M SURE IF THEY WERE JEFFS THEY'D DIG IT. JUST LIKE SHREDDERS AND RAPPERS LIKE HEARING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER. I THINK I JUST CREATED A NEW TREND IN MUSIC. I CALL IT BENDING. IT'S WHERE EVERY NOTE IS BENT EITHER UP OR DOWN THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SONG. PRETTY GENIUS HUH ? I'M WORKING ON VIBRATO MUSIC NEXT. YEP YOU'VE GUESSED IT.
The Yardbirds never 'got by' as a 4-piece: Jimmy Page joined on bass when Jeff was still on guitar. Soon Page & Beck were playing dual lead-guitar, w/Chris Dreja on bass. The so-called 4-piece band was "The New Yardbirds", soon re-named Led Zeppelin.
Bull shit. They were a four piece after Beck left and until they disbanded. Led Zep came a bit later and tried to use the New Yardbirds moniker but soon decided against it.
I've always understood that Page called the band The New Yardbirds so that Zeppelin could play the tour dates that were already booked rather than going out as an 'unknown' new group.
You obviously haven’t seen or heard Little games or Live at the Anderson Theatre, plus there’s plenty of footage of the Yardbirds as a four piece with JP.
Jeff used no 'ever present whammy bar' during his tenure with the band. He was innoavtive yes but used largely his Fender Esquire and key his hands do the rest ...ruclips.net/video/IBhqcI1EFu8/видео.html
The recorded output of the Yardbards isn't worth a fraction of the hype over the decades. Beck made a lot of forgettable albums. Clapton has done a lifetime of pale imitations of the blues masters: he's sort of the Pat Boone of the blues. Page and Zep were excellent.
Beck is a spoiled egomaniac! Keith Relf was a much better musician than Beck, and Keith didn't bring a load of mood swings and temper tantrums with him. "Shapes" never sounded as good as when Keith was singing and playing it!

Clapton a blues loyalist, my ass! Layla?! Jeezuz! A contender for the worst song of the last century. Clapton is laughably overrated. He was a solid blues guitarist, at his best when he was playing for Mayall and when he could have been fairly described as a "blues loyalist". He AND his guitar quickly devolved after the Bluesbreakers into a so-so, somewhat tiresome, rock guitarist and a dismal songwriter. Layla is fucking bad pop. As for Beck, well, he went on after the Yardbirds to become the GOAT.
