Jeff Beck is regarded as one of the most innovative guitar players of all time. Known for his “hands on” approach, Jeff uses the entire guitar to produce a unique vocal style. His limited use of a pick and mastery of the whammy bar, volume, and tone controls allow for true sonic creation. Reinventing himself throughout his career, Jeff has released records in genres such as blues rock, jazz fusion, rock, and electronic music. Through these recordings he has been a four time Grammy Award winner for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. On April 4th 2009 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
This clip is taken from a live performance in Japan in 2006. It’s a true example of Jeff Beck and the creative potential of the guitar. It also shows a distinctive approach to the instrument. As Eric Clapton once said, “With Jeff, it’s all in his hands.”
