Technique WITH FEELING

Don't get to hear and see him play that much anymore...so THANKS!

Very Inspiring.

Saw JB & Les Paul on a TV show in the 70's.

They were trading solos.

Jeff would crank out a solo, while Les would patiently wait.

Then Les did his, and JB stepped on him early.

So this went on until one JB solo when Les walked over to JB & pulled his guitar cord out, ...mid solo. Jeff is looking around like WTF happened?

Les Paul looks at him with that "Aah Haa" look.

Very funny!

 
Agreed. JB is the man.

I was lucky enough to catch him in a really small club a few years ago and he is absolutely amazing to see play up close. Jennifer Batten was also a mind-blower, and the two trading back and forth definitely inspired one of those "bury your guitar in the backyard" moments...

 
and that is why when people tell me how good they think Eric Clapton is I turn 'round and tell them "he's good....but he's no Jeff Beck"

Jeff

 
Love that guy. The emotional content of that playing is really enjoyable.

 
yummy.

edited to note that i just picked up some JB vinyl today, the album he did with the Jan Hammer group. What a deal for a buck.

I've alway really enjoyed his playing but Wastruly amazed when I got this CD as a gift several years back. THe man can do most anything. I can't think of a better tribute album to one's influences.

Wow, I'm really glad John McEnroe is on that album. I'll bet he adds as much to the performance as Dan Ackroyd did for the 'We are the World' video.
