Hey gang - I think I said "Buddy Rich" somewhere in this episode and I TOTALLY meant Buddy Miles. My bad! Also, watch your D string with that crazy bending in Licks #1 & #2. Good luck and may the Force be with you...always! ROCK ON!
@@user-pq9ji7kt4l You can delete this comment after reading it, if you want. I just wanted to share a late Halloween joke with you. Do you know why witches never wear underwear? It's so they can get a better grip on the broom! hahaha I hope you enjoyed this one. Again, awesome lesson. Peace from Morocco, Indiana.
I didn't even have to watch the episode to hit like. "Blow by Blow" and "Wired" are two of the reasons I ever started playing guitar. Thanks for this lesson! More Jeff Beck please!
Late Night, thanks so much for the enlightenment!!....You aren't the only one missing him!!!...I was privileged to see him with ZZTop a couple of months before he passed...I completely wore out "Jeff Beck Live with the Jan Hammer Group" in '76-'77 ....it was all just too good.....
The footage you mention is incredible in that it shows what a natural player he was, it's as if he was born to play and to show how a guitarist should play. I saw him in Sydney and he blew my mind.
I'm having the best time I've ever experienced with the guitar right now. I've been learning tunes of Jeff's with harmonics and the tasty trem bar magic. Love the licks today David ! THX
Played the grooves on my vinyl copy of Blow by blow clean through to the other side on my record player back in the late 70’s …. Wired also . Classic Music that just never gets old to me . J.B. Was leaps & bounds ahead of almost every other guitarist at that time with his playing . He’s a true Rock Icon . Thanks David for showcasing his works , & for ALL you share always . Much appreciated buddy .😎👍
Somewhere in 1967 Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton & Jeff Beck attend a Jimi Hendrix concert. "How the fuck are we to play like that?" Eric said "I don't know!" Jimmy page replied. Jeff Beck looked at both of them and said "I bet he would be one hell of a guitar player if he ever learns how to use that tremolo bar!" Not true, but I think Jeff could play anything..
Thank You. I've been thinking about him a lot too. I throw on Truth & Beckola and hook up my tele with my 4 watt Vox and let it rip. This was great, not only for lesson but, the art work. Great humor. You made my day. Blow by Blow came out when I just started in radio. I thought it was a gigantic leap forward in guitar. I was just Stunned. Still in my Top 5. Has to be over 10,000 listens for me. In my car, at home, in the studio. Jeff was really in George Martin's wheelhouse, and it was a !!! HOMERUN !! Touch 'em all George.
I bought both on vinyl when they came out. Totally worn out. Wired is my favorite between the two. 👍👍👀🎸still have them. Saw Billy with the Stones in 1976. Great show
Blow by Blow was a huge event in my guitar playing life! Cause We’ve Ended - one of my all time working on a song- hey I was just adding it to my 2024 list of songs to play again! That and Freeway Jam are back on my music stand
Wired is the album to get if you don’t understand how great JB is..the guitar player’s guitar player…If Charley Mingus reaches out you to compliment you about covering one of Jazz’s greatest hits…then you’re something special
Seen Beck several times when he tours Australia. I was lucky enough to get 3rd row seats, close to where Beck normally plays on stage. I could see his hand work and use of the volume control and whammy bar. He used his right hand thumb quite a bit. I was drained emotionally and mentally at the end of the concert with what sounds I was hearing. I actually got a head ache from how intense the experience was. I was watching what Beck was doing and trying to match what I was hearing and was often thinking this is not possible - not really happening. From purely an expressive guitar playing point of view Beck was a unique musical talent. Whilst i enjoy listening to the song writing of a hand full of guitarists more than Beck, he impressed me the most of any musician I have seen play live. And I have basically seen almost all the great guitarists play live apart from Hendrix and a couple of others. Page, Clapton, Blackmore, Gilmour, Knopfler, Emmanuel, Satriani, Vai, mcLaughlin, Santana. The closest musician to Beck that I saw play live was Michael Oldfield who played all the instruments on stage. The only other time I got a headache after a concert 😁
@ “there and back” dates back to about 1980. Was he still playing with a pick at that time? Not sure what year beck shifted from pick playing to finger playing. The last two times I saw Beck in Australia was with Beth Hart
This album and Blow By Blow were two that turned my ear towards different styles of music and opened the flood gates to my learning and growing on guitar. My guitar teacher couldn't get me to listen to anything other than Dokken and Whitesnake and DEMANDED that I buy these albums. Haha! From there I went towards the Dixie Dregs, Miles Davis, Pat Metheny, and so on.
Love so much of JB's output.... Live was the best place to see him..... But the album that really got me into him was the 'Orange ' one! Just hearing Ice Cream Cakes and that greasy sound he pulled out of a strat. Heard it on John Peel .....Bought the vinyl and put the needle on Going Down and that was it...3 of the most ridiculous solos on ONE song! Years later Steve Cropper the producer was sure he played them on a Telecaster....WHAT ????!!!!! I miss seeing him stroll onto the Royal Albert Hall stage and do some blues noodling then explode into the stratosphere for the next 2 1/2 hours or so. A sad sad loss to the music community 😢
I have both those albums on record and cd. Amazing. I ride my bike daily and listen to wired on the ride. I've been listen to those albums since 1970's
When you get a chance, pleeeez pick apart some of what Jeff does on that live BBC performance of She’s A Woman (particularly 1:11-2:35ish) If you haven’t seen it, the Jeff Beck Performance And Interview 1974 video is reminiscent of Clapton’s Farewell Cream bit where he talks about his equipment and playing. I distinctly remember riding my bicycle to the record store when Wired came out. While Wired and BBB are great, I am still kind of partial to the Jeff Beck Group stuff with Rod Stewart and also with the Max Middleton, Cozy Powell, Clive Chaman and Bob Tench lineup. To me, you haven’t really experienced Jeff Beck until you play “Going Down” as loud as it will go. Still gives me goosebumps. Don’t know how the bass player Clive Chaman keeps that pace for that whole song.
I was extremely lucky to have gotten to try out one of the original Oxblood Les Pauls, courtesy of Carter's Vintage Guitar in Nashville before they created their own private rooms for members. Plays like I've owned it my entire life yet had something mystical about it. Like you were holding Excalibur, Yet still had the familiar tone and weight. Guitar Hero Aerosmith featured an Oxblood Les Paul as part of Joe Perry's vault, I wonder if it was Beck's at one point.
Super cool licks. 1st time I tried learning the led boots solo, it was like holy shit, this takes a ton of strength in the left hand. By trying to cop some of that stuff you kind of realize where the player is coming from. Great lesson, and really unique and clever riffs.
Did Jeff play a strat on Wired or an LP? Man I love these albums. It’s amazing how aggressive Beck is on one phrase and tender on another. So expressive. Great lesson! And great tone!
Is that an old Behringer Digital processor i see to your left? Is that what you're playing through? It's off-topic, but i was wanting to comment on your tone .... it's REEEEEEALY juicy ! A great old-school distorted tone. Maybe you could have an episode on that old processor lol.
Hey, there are several episodes on the channel featuring various gear in my studio. Check out the rant video "Living With A Vampire" if you'd like to learn/see more about that old V-Amp Pro. Thanks and ROCK ON!
Jeff Beck wasn't just a guitar player. He was a "bad-ass" entertainer.. I was quite impressed with your skills on this one. Awesome lesson & killer choice of licks.. I know you're from Indiana, so Hoosier favorite? hahaha I'm a Hoosier too man! Peace.. Joe
I listen to Wired and Blow By Blow time and again as well as Truth. Also have a couple different collections. Beckology is one of them. He is original and innovative.
Aren't those Jeff Beck half step bends called Matching note Pitch "Slip Notes"? Slip Notes is a technique by piano players mostly but Jeff Beck matching the note pitch using Slip Note technique. Johnny Depp & Jeff Beck 18 Album was Jeff Becks best work very good picking dynamics and strats volume pot setting dynamics. You should listen to this album a lot to make a video lesson about Jeff Becks licks on that album because its focused on his volume dynamics and volume swells.
Funny aside: you mentioned Billy Preston as ‘the 6th Beatle’, etc. I forget who was being referred to, but during an interview I can’t recall exactly who was asking? Or asking about? George Harrison dryly responded to the interviewer: “Oh yes, the 18th Beatle”, lol.
@@rogrog1616 Wrong era of what? Those were three solo albums he released in a row. Everybody mentions BbB and Wired, but nobody seems to ever mention There & Back, other than "The Pump." That's all I'm saying.
I love Jeff Beck but only had 2 albums. Beck Bogart and Appice and There and Back did see him once. The Concert for ARMS. Seeing Clapton, Page and Beck playing Layla. Also was the Stones minus Jager and Richard's! I remember seeing on TV in 73 or 74 Beck appearing with David Bowie and the Spyders and Mick Ronson & Beck trading licks. I must say Ronson was better!
Should have done more with like a band you have to be a guitar buff to know jeff beck you only hear about him when he was in yard birds only 50 and 60 + year old geezers know Beck kind of over rated to me . not a real rocker , more of fusion rock i guess

Totally agree with olindo8565...Johnny Marr deserve an episode🎉 Long live Jeff Beck🔝
Jeff Beck is also my fav.....Great channel...do Martin Barre the most underrated guitar players.
Great lesson. Those two albums are phenomenal!
More Jeff Beck please!! Especially from this era, awesome stuff per usual Dave 🤘
Jeff Beck is he greatest electric guitarist to ever walk the planet.

@PetraKann Wow! I found this to be the exact way I felt when I was fortunate to have experienced Mr.Beck on his "There and Back" tour.
@ “there and back” dates back to about 1980.

Not sure what year beck shifted from pick playing to finger playing.

@PetraKann I believe he was still using a pick then and not much trem work either. Beautiful album and killer band on tour. Simon Phillips on Drums
There and Back, Jeff, the pump, JBs Blues, I saw him live 11 times throughout the years. I saw Zep 9 times. Jeff is the guitar god jimi looked up to.
Great episode! Even more fire in your playing than usual.
Now I'm looking for those posters, ha ha. As always, great lesson.
classic - I had a cassette of Wired and Blow By Blow that lived in my car, on regular rotation for forever

had both on 8 track
67, been listening to Jeff since 1975...best ever
I have both those albums on record and cd. Amazing. I ride my bike daily and listen to wired on the ride. I've been listen to those albums since 1970's
Three more, more, more!
😊 la classe !🤘🎸
Awesome!! 🤘🤘
Jeff is the best!! Please do a video on Johnny Marr!! Thanks man
Awesomely, huge bends that can break your hand!
Can never be enough Beck. John McLaughlin changed his style post BBA and it paved the way for a great solo career.
I saw the "Blow by Blow" tour in Philly Wow!

thanks mR. late night, we sorely miss you Jeff... 🎵r0ckoN 🎵
In 1969, after Martin and Preston, heroin was the 7th Beatle. Great lesson here, love Gibson Beck!
Ive Painted the Wired Album on the side of my House .........

Bought my 60s Standard in Oxblood thanks to Beck's Les Paul. Now hurting my hands with big 4th string bends.
I bought both those when they came out
That first lick was Jeff emulating the Pitch-Wheel on Jan Hammer's keys. He did it alot. Easy for him, back then, 8's on his guitars.
Great Choice!
I miss him
All great lessons… thx a bunch 😻… requesting ’rosebud’ if you get a chance…😎🙏

I know you're from Indiana, so Hoosier favorite? hahaha I'm a Hoosier too man! Peace.. Joe
Love your channel mate.. We have identical tastes in tone and players (except you are 10x more talented than me)
WIRED..Jeff's masterpiece..
I listen to Wired and Blow By Blow time and again as well as Truth. Also have a couple different collections. Beckology is one of them. He is original and innovative.
You couldn't be a Beck fan if you never heard those two albums.
My first band made a salty attempt at playing Freeway Jam when I was 12. Wore those records out.

My fingers hurt watching you. Damn😅
Wired is my fave beck album
Well done. May I ask where you found the large prints of the covers?
I got the best laugh of my day from the two 4x larger albums thing. 🤣
I agree, btw.🥰
I still haven't been able to watch or listen to much JB since his death. I know I'll get there, but it's often still too painful.
I stole Jeff's Jan Hammer-ish licks decades ago. I've gotten a ton of mileage out of them.
These are the only two Beck albums I know …..
There and Back has similar moments and production to these. It's a bit more mellow, less funky but still really great.
Funny aside: you mentioned Billy Preston as ‘the 6th Beatle’, etc. I forget who was being referred to, but during an interview I can’t recall exactly who was asking? Or asking about? George Harrison dryly responded to the interviewer: “Oh yes, the 18th Beatle”, lol.
Jan 10-23. SAD DAY!
I would throw "There & Back" in there with Wired and Blow by Blow.
Wrong era.

Sorry but your favorite wasn ' t Eddy Van Halen ?
Ciao from Italy 👍🎸
Srv soloing secrets
"Admit?"
Those albums rock but OI really like There and Back. More polished I guess.
I hate to call anyone " the best", but if I did it would probably be Jeff Beck. Forget EVH, Beck is the guy imho.
Just broke my D... thank you very much!!! xD
Love the channel! Would love if you checked out some Roy Buchanan for us!
Could've done without 3 minutes of fanboy talk, just do the lessons
Quit your bitching and just fast forward the through the video
