    Toby, you just gave me a ray of hope and light after we lost our most precious Jeff Beck. I worked a little on his 2000 album You Had It Coming and spent some precious moments with him. As a guitarist myself, all I can say is this is beautifully performed, and I can see it rolls off you like water off a duck’s back. Just wonderful.

    Wonderful job Toby. I knew Jeff a long time ago back in the "Wired" days, and I know he'd be really chuffed to see someone keeping his chops alive. Keep it up, you're special.

    I had to ask this and I don't mean to offend you... Were you a child prodigy?? I've been playing for over 50 years and I couldn't play at that level if my life depended on it. Hell, Jeff Beck Couldn't sit in your bedroom and replay that any better than you!!! Please make music your life, no matter what it takes... we have enough doctors and engineers... God Bless...

      Bollocks - that song is all about guitar prowess - the only effect is a reverb and delay. I know exactly how to play it, but I can't get even close to this standard. (Incidentally, I'm an engineer and a guitarist - maybe if I'd spent less time engineering I could play guitar this well.)

  • @TobyBarnettMusic
    @TobyBarnettMusic  11 лет назад +40

    Thankyou! It's the vintage 6-srew trem.. It's set up with 2 springs, at angle that allows a 3 semi-tone pullback on the G string. I could be wrong, but I think jeff Beck can pull up 3 semitones plus room for some vibrato (3 and a half semitones?!)
    I think his 2-point trem is floating AND slightly at an angle, but I can't be sure. For the sound, I played around with GuitarRig4,.. it's basically an over driven tone with reverb/delay and a slight mid range boost...

    • @kneebitten1
      @kneebitten1 2 года назад +1

      Jeff has been playing a Jeff Beck signature fender Stratocaster guitar that has a 2 point tremolo you can’t say it’s the 6 point tremolo on the guitar this dude can play!!!don’t get me wrong you still need a floating tremolo but this guy has the gift! Well done mate

    • @gw2031
      @gw2031 Год назад

      And Jeff had a clever string choice,,he put a heavier low E on which increases the tension on the trem which would allow you to angle the bridge more forward at concert pitch thereby increasing the pull up range .

    • @embstillrocks

    I was thinking of getting a roller nut, but my MiM Strat has a slightly narrower neck than the US-width roller nut :( I think the problem with my strat is with the bridge.. either a new 6-screw is needed, or an entire 2-point upgrade! The pickups are stock vintage noiseless.. almost like the Jeff Beck noiseless but a bit weaker, I think.. I just run it through GuitarRig4 and mess about with amp/pedal settings until it kinda sounds right!
