So sad. He truly was a great and didn’t seem to lose that genius level of musicianship even into old age. The 2016 album Laud Hailer showed off his rare talent and he’d turned 70. Scared for the Children played loud on my system is a truly thrilling experience

He was a master guitarist and his albums gave (and will give) me many hours of listening pleasure. RIP Jeff, thanks for the music.

Yes Richard, I remember " Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers" featuring during the demo for the ND555 at my local dealers. Probably my favourite Beck track.

Jeff Beck was a guitarist I grew up with. Stomping around the dance floor to “Hey ho siverlining” Then I saw the BBC’ broadcast of “Live at Ronnie Scots”
Wow! I had no idea!
Sheer genius. So sad he’s gone.

I saw Jeff at the Royal Albert Hall on 24th June 2004 his 60th birthday.
Vic Reeves’ wife Nancy Sorrell did a version of Cry Me a River, Imogen Heap did Rollin’ and Tumblin’ and Ronnie Wood came on for the encore.
Jan Hammer was on keyboards and Mark Mondesir on drums.
It didn’t get much better than that. Plus I got to pass by Hank Marvin in the corridor.
A few years later I saw Courtney Pine and said Hey Courtney I saw you when you were touring your first album and Mark Mondesir was on drums. He said yer he’s gone off and playing with Jeff Beck now!

Was discussing with a friend last night and we commented that the 60/70s was the guitar equivalent of the 40/50s for brass. Beck, Green, Hendrix, Clapton, Koss etc for the former, Davis, Bird, Rollins, Coltrane, Gordon etc in the latter.

I never saw him live, nor really know his music. But the Times or the BBC News reports that I saw commented that he played his guitar much more loudly than Page, Clapton or the rest.
