Rabs Posted January 11, 2023 Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 I know.. Same here.. Only what 5-6 months ago I saw him.. He looked like he had many years left yet.. Absolutely shocked on this one.. Just damn!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 That is a shame - truly one of the great guitarists of our time. He was always progressive and creative from the mid 60s Yardbirds to the present. His originality was unique and he will certainly be missed.

Rabs Posted January 11, 2023 Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 Of everything I have seen or heard of him playing.. This has to be the best example of just how amazing he was (was 😞 ).. Its a master class in gigs and playing the guitar. There wont ever be another like him, thats for sure.. And remember, this is the man that turned down the Rolling Stones to do his own thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitar God Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Heard about this earlier. Such a bummer. Devastating loss for sure. 😢 Got Blow By Blow playing right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx-ogre Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Sad news. He has been a big influence on me and my playing. I still listen to Blow By Blow and Wired on a regular basis. RIP Jeff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I worked with Jeff back in 1966 when he was with The Yardbirds…..I didn’t really KNOW him, but it’s still very sad that he passed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Feeling crushed and sad right now. I was just watching an interview with him a few days ago. And he was the same funny, loose, wonderful car-guy, guitar-guy, all around great-guy that we have all come to know. Prayers to his family.😥 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Immeasurably sad. I'm stunned that Jeff Beck has died (after “suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis”). A brilliant musician and lovely human being who paid me the great honor of coming to my gig at Ronnie Scott’s some years ago, sitting in the front row, and complementing me afterward. He and I spent the remainder of the evening passing my 1943 Banner Gibson SJ back and forth, playing songs. Today is a very sad day for me.

saturn Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Damn. Heard this a few hours ago. Sad. He still had all his chops. If I dig around enough in my basement, I could probably find old cassettes of Truth, Wired and Blow By Blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Drummer in my band used to work in record biz and somehow dealt with Jeff back in the 90s. He gave me a few jars of these several years ago. I actually love these picks for playing, but the writing will rub off with use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he’s with some of the greatest looking down on us clowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanHenry Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 We've lost another great musician, I guess they are all getting to that kind of age. RIP Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
