      Hendrix could, and did, jam at will with Beck, back in the late 1960s..they were equally brilliant, each in their own way...guitar meant so much back in those times...

      I agree, he felt it like the ordinary guy or girl in the street, jeff was above anyone, the guitar hero of guitar heroes,
      Rem watching the news ,bbc , a picture of him came on, and I just started screaming at the TV, cos knew what was gonna be announced before the presenter said anything,
      Only time I felt that way was , david bowie death,
      Amd a very long time ago ,Randy Rhoads
      Always growing up ,wanted to be j page/clapton / gilmour,
      but beck on his own "plane" ,
      Ronnie Scott's a day in the life
      Loved eddie, but jeff better than all of them in reality ❤

      We all love the music brian gave us,nothing but respect.
      But the nicest and most humble?
      When bohemian rhapsody movie was being written he told some stories to the writers obviously,and lots others. When they finished the screenplay and everyone read it,Brian called and said where the rest? This is only the 1st half of the story and a little too focused on freddie. Like people wanted the rest of the queen story and Freddie was just another member the band or something. And then fought for it to be changed or not come out.
      That's far from humble and pretty much living in a fantasy world

      I agree ‘Where Were You’ is indeed the most beautiful guitar piece ever….I heard Freddie was profoundly moved by it too…It is like an emotional NARRATIVE that defies verbal description. Listening to it would literally move me to tears…Blackbird is also sublime. Hypnotic in its incredible sounds and it’s sheer ambiance…And his Nessun Dorma….just beyond description. It’s wonderful that you made such a great connection to him Brian. And that you had the opportunity to tell him how much he inspired you. I’m sure he really appreciated it….In interviews on the documentary ‘Queen, the Magic Years’ I remember Jeff called YOU the Guvnor …We will all miss Jeff…The most impossible to copy genius ever.

      @markhammer643 Год назад +7

      Maybe he *did* . I suppose every guitar player reaches for a particular note and accidentally bangs their head against a kitchen cupboard door in the process, once in a while. But we wouldn't notice, because Jeff was always inventive and open-minded enough to come up with something that would *make* it correct, and not be derailed by missing his own intended target. Over the last 24 hrs., I've said to people that there were certainly players who were faster, nastier-sounding, louder, and had more "hits". But Mr. Beck was always creative, innovative, open to the counter-intuitive and unexpected. There are players whom one thinks "If I practice this solo enough, I'll be able to nail it", as if rehearsing the tried and true and expected makes it possible. I often found myself thinking that Beck's solos were simply beyond my ability to conceive. And although it is certainly presumptuous of me, there was always a bit of a wink and nudge-nudge in his playing that made you feel like he was grinning at the listener, in particular, as if we knew each other.

    This drummer's heart is broken. I have discovered that, since I cut my rock 'n' roll teeth on "Truth" among other discs, I had apparently expected Jeff Beck to live forever. And I can appreciate how, even within RnR's heart, Beck had to play it the way he felt it, and always forged his own path.
    We know souls like Jeff Beck's do not rest in peace. It is he who is on his way to his next gig and we who are poorer and sadder for his departure from brightening our world with his mastery of moving fingers in proper fashion across the neck and strings of a guitar. Play on, musician's musician, it was never so blunt an instrument as an axe in his hands, and may God's love be with him for eternity.

    Very moving tribute Brian
    Just listened to "Where Were You" again after you mentioned it and it made me think of "Coming Back to You" another beautiful song (with words)
    Where were you when I was burned and broken?
    While the days slipped by from my window watching
    And where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless?
    'Cause the things you say and the things you do surround me
    While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
    Dying to believe in what you heard
    I was staring straight into the shining sun
    Lost in thought and lost in time
    While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
    Outside, the rain fell dark and slow
    While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
    I took a heavenly ride through our silence
    I knew the moment had arrived
    For killing the past and coming back to life
    I took a heavenly ride through our silence
    I knew the waiting had begun
    And headed straight into the shining sun
    As a youngster growing up in Detroit all you English guys were such an influence on me and my friends not to discount our local talent or roots. The music was such a big part of our lives and still is. The humility exhibited by such great talent like yourself is admirable and truly inspiring, knowing the tremendous talent, hard work, and dedication it takes to be recognized as a musician, sell records and fill concert halls. The greatest prize as Mark Knopfler says is "Love over Gold" and Jeff Beck certainly won that one.
    I also just watched the video where you, Jeff, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page met the Queen in 1995. I left a comment there that "3 yardbirds + 2 queens = a full house". Bit of a pun but meant as the highest compliment.
    Jeff Beck will always be a legend to those who love music and especially the electric guitar.

Unbelievable, Jeff Beck was one of the best guitars to ever exist and all I have left is to be thankful that we lived alongside these giants and we have the legacy of these amazing artists as our treasure trove and inheritance of genius and creativity for posterity.
    We are truly if not in one of the best, in the best timeline for musical wealth and beauty and we should keep their flame alive by playing their art and reviving their music through each and every single replay and interpretation.
    RIP genius. We'll always look up to you Jeff Beck.

    I think that anyone who's ever picked up a guitar feels this loss a little more than the others, because he was so unique to us, particularly. A dreadful loss but a beautiful legacy. Remember his music and he's not really gone...

    Thank you Brian for your eloquent comments on the passing away of Jeff Beck!!! I almost feel as gutted as you do about his death, it's a terrible loss!!! He was one of Britain's greatest electric guitarists of all time, perhaps one of the greatest that the world ever had!!! He was a true legend of a rock musician, amazingly brilliant, talented and creative!!! An inspiration to so many people, not least to young budding rock guitarists!!! We will truly miss him; our only consolation is knowing that he is now going to higher realms!!! God bless him!!! Rest in peace!!! AMEN!!! 🙂🌞🌻💛🙏

    Thank you Brian for a beautiful homage to one of the most astonishing musicians of all time. He brought so much beauty into the world. He seemed to speak through the guitar; the first time I heard play live it was clear that he was operating on a completely different wavelength, and the guitar was just an extension of his body......it was a religious experience for me. He was a true original.

  • @joneses1962

    I love your comments. I love Jeff Beck's music, he is already sadly missed. I'm a 60 year old guitarist/mandolinist who's influences have been Hendrix of course, but also nearly every British/Irish/Scottish guitarist I've ever heard. I need to say that I'm in as much awe of Brian May as I am of Jeff Beck. I've been listening to Jeff's music for several days now, I've loved his music nearly my whole life. It's strange he's gone, but through his music he's with us for the rest of our lives.

      After watching this video, I went back and Listened to "Shapes of Things" by the Yardbirds.
      The very beginning of the solo in that song has some similarities to "Over Under Sideways Down" which Jeff plays and is on the "Roger the Engineer" album, released a few months after "Shapes of Things."
      But amazingly - parts of the solo has similarities to the solo work on "Taxman" and also the instrumentation on "Tomorrow Never Knows."
      But Beck recorded this before The Beatles Revolver was released. Shows how much of an innovator he was.

Heart Full of Soul was in every garage band repertoire in our day and Shapes. Showing my age but happy Jeff was in our lives for such a long time and seemed to enjoy life to an age that we should all hope to attain. Had a few teary eyed days but now know he is on a much higher plane and at peace. Thank you for the heartfelt words Brian.

      Steve, "His rendition (Jeff Beck's) of A Day in the Life (Beatles) is so special first time hearing was blown away." I'm curious when and where you first heard it. I distinctly remember the first time hearing him play that over 25 years ago. It was in Concord, Ca. The place went wild -standing ovation.

    I was in tears while you were talking of Jeff Beck, not only because of what you said, but also because you were almost in tears yourself...YOU are a great Person!
    Rest in power, Jeff...stay in the light.

    Recently, I watching him here on youtube when he had been in concert and touring with Johnny Depp and Anika Nilles, and what a line up they made together with his band, yet another example of great and incredible musicianship in rock music. He will be greatly missed, and always greatly admired for his influential inspiration to many a musician, and for many yet to enter the world of music.

    For me, as a kid when I picked up Blow by Blow I was just mesmerized by his talent. I played that album over and over and over. He didn't really play a style of music,, he played Jeff Beck music. Completely unique and his own. Elements of jazz, rock, progressive rock, blues,... just everything all mixed up in his virtuosity. I loved it. He never stopped tinkering as well. stayed on the cutting edge of guitar right up until today. Will miss him. Thankfully we have his music.
