GC interview with Jeff Beck

[daveinspain]

Here is a good article/interview with Jeff Beck. It's a little Fender heavy, sorry Gibson, but Gibson is not left out either... Some cool stuff about the early days and his friendship with Jimmy Page too.... Enjoy!

Well Jeff did sell out to the world of Strats. Funny that Roy Buchanan said when he switched to Les Paul's said he can get all his sounds from Les Pauls.

You could be right there, ZenKen. He does a lot of work with the whammy bar with his style of playing and

the Fender Stratocaster is probably the better choice for him. I'm sure that's a reason Jimi Hendrix gravitated

to the Stratocaster, too. You really need to use the right tool for the job you're doing (in this case playing music).

If Gibson guitars fit your style then use a Gibson. If Fender, Gretch, or some other guitar does it for you then go

ahead and use that. We're talking about the art of music here, just as much as the guitars that are used. If in

the painting world all artist painted like Rembrant, Picasso, or Van Gogh, and not as differently as they did, then it

would be boring.

I love my Pauls, my SG and my Strats, Tele and Rick.
