Jeff Beck RIP

Post by Joe Shlabotnik »

I know for you youngins guitar shredding sounds as old and archaic as the Big Bands did to me. Jeff Beck pioneered a lot of the sounds that have become synonymous with 70 rock guitar. Here he is at his R&R HofF induction with another guitar god you might have heard of - Jimmy Page.

And if you're not into shredding guitar sounds, check out his version of "Amazing Grace". It can be found on the Merry Axemas album, which is an exquisite work of musicianship from a variety of virtuosos.

I heard this on the radio yesterday.
Wonder wrote Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers for his wife Syreeta, but gave it to Jeff after Motown Records insisted Stevie record Superstition himself, a track he’d actually composed for Beck. Wonder had penned it as a thank-you to Jeff for playing on his 1972 album Talking Book.

“The idea was that I was going to guest on his record and he was going to give me a song in return,” said Beck. “Stevie gave me [Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers] as an apology for releasing Superstition first. He wrote [it] for me, but the record company had the power to prevent any other record coming out and they said, ‘This is a number one smash: Beck doesn’t get this’.”
Superstition is still on my 'crank' list.

Holy [expletive]. There is no way Guest didn’t base his character on that interview. It’s spot on.
