rct Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 If yer a guy my age and grew up guitar when I did, you hear one note and before that note has passed you know it is Him. I think the greatest guitar voice in history. rct 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Very few people never hit a plateau. He's one of them. Perfect song to cover for 2020, sad to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 That was cool Steve, thanks for posting. Jeff Beck has been one of my favorite guitarists to listen to for a long time. And I see he still has that cute girl playing bass (Tal), and she can rip it up too. I wasn't aware that Depp could sing, but he did a nice job on this. Looks like a set list laying on the floor so they must have put a entire show together. Beck has always been so advanced in his sounds and his playing, since the Yardbird days. And while they were doing pretty much blues back then he always had a fresh take on the guitar parts he played. Glad to see he is still at it, and did not let fame, and fortune screw up his life like so many others have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Great, I loved it. I didn't know Johnny Depp played guitar? First I heard of it. My wife is a big fan of his and has never mentioned it to me. Loved them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 There are two important sides to be a great musician (1) technique (2) art IMO Jeff Beck is the most technological proficient rock guitarist who has ever recorded (up to this point anyway). He's definitely not too shabby in the art department either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxson50 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Beck started playing cello when he was young, and he attacks the strings of his guitar with much the same technique, IMO it also shows in his melodic approach to solos, the sustain and tremelo, use of fluid octave modulation, very similar to classical cello, It also helps to have your fretboard scalloped slightly.

Like most of those who've been around Hollywood too long, they start believing they're not quite like the rest of us.

SteveFord Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 What I know about Johnny Depp is next to nothing but last night he popped up on a youtube video I stumbled upon. It was The Hollywood Vampires and there was Alice Cooper, about 80 years old, and it looks like he'll have to replace the boa constrictor with a garter snake or else he'll get beat up. And there was Johnny Depp. First time I ever saw someone with a Reverse Flying V but there's at least one out there in action. He also had an Alvin Lee ES-335. I would imagine you could still order one without the stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 If Jeff Beck is on stage allowing a pre-recorded track to be used (by any musician) while he is playing live - for shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After he did that pirate series, I heard he was walking around on the streets still dressed for the movie thinking he was a real pirate.
