merciful-evans Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 he's only a real pirate when he's channelling Keef Have to say, that some of the nicest JB I've heard for quite a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle fester Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I've never latched onto JB as a musician, what I concisously knew I was listening to, it never grabbed me. But I know the guy has skills. If I wanted to listen to him, what's some of the best stuff to look for? 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. Depp is a certified loon.

Notes_Norton Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 If you want to see and hear electric guitar mastery, rent the movie "Jeff Beck, Live At Ronnie Scotts". The camera operators must have been guitar players, because often the camera is in the exact right place to see Jeff do something amazing. Being a sax player that was 'almost famous', I've had the luck to be able to play alongside of some of the best guitar players in the industry. My jaw doesn't drop easily. When I saw the Ronnie Scott video, and Jeff was doing things like using the slide above the fretboard, using the whammy to play discreet and in tune notes, using his little finger on the volume knob for expressing while doing something else extremely difficult with his right hand, I was floored.

Sgt. Pepper Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Blow By Blow (Instrumental), Wired (Instrumental) , Beck-Ola (Rod Stewart on vocals), Truth (Rod Stewart on vocals). Not to familiar with his Yardbird days. The Jeff Beck Group self titled album is good too and the one before it Rough And Ready. I can't remember who sang on those. Edited December 3, 2020 by Sgt.

01GT eibach Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 For Jeff Beck, his "Wired" and "Blow By Blow" albums are at the top of the heap. Just behind that, I would put the often-overlooked yet awesome "There and Back" album, and then the "Jeff Beck Live With Jan Hammer" album very close behind. The other suggestions listed are no less than great, too. For someone just getting into Jeff Beck, make sure to AVOID his recent "Emotion and Commotion" and "Loud Hailer" albums. "Loud Hailer" is likely the worst thing he has ever done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 That picture right fukking there is why a couple million of us do this yes indeed. Who Else? was a good one in his modern day stuff. The three in the mid 70's, the ones with Freeway Jam and Blue Wind and the live with Jan Hammer. I agree and I am glad to see so many suggest those three. rct 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
