One Of The Famous Guitarists Of All Time - Jeff Beck
rowena on Dec 8th 2008
He was noted as the 14th Greatest Guitarist of All Time by the Rolling Stone Magazine. He is also one of the three famous guitarists of the group The Yardbirds including Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. I am proud to be a fan of Jeff Beck and eagerly waiting for his election in the 2009 Rock amd Roll Hall Of Fame. Though he haven’t achieved the popularity of most of his colleagues, he had garnered four Grammy Awards for Best Rock Instrumental Performance and 2 hit albums as a solo act. While Beck was not the first rock guitarist to experiment with electronic distortion, he nonetheless helped to redefine the sound and role of the electric guitar in rock music. Beck’s work with The Yardbirds and The Jeff Beck Group’s 1968 album Truth were seminal influences on heavy metal music, which emerged in full force in the early 1970s. Jeff Beck is still highly influential with many modern guitarists, who cite him as a major influence on their playing.
Watch Jeff Beck live soulfully playing the guitar on this list of music videos.
