charlie brown Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Well, to each his/her own...but, I know I'd LOVE to be "mediocre," like Clapton and Beck! And, to have done all they've accomplished, musically, over the years. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG FAN Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I dunno, maybe the same reasons you look up to such mediocre untalented players such as Gary Moore, Steve Vai, Malmsteen, and Bullet For My Valentine. (Oh, yeah, I went there ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's okay. If you don't see it by now you never will. In the meantime enjoy whatever it is you're able to wrap your head around. But, I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts that just about every one of the people you do "see" figured it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I agree with Clapton. But Beck is on another level. Jusy because they don't 'shred' doesn't make them a bad player. Most of todays players are the same. You can easily pick Beck out from a crowd. Watch the 'Ronnie Scott's' gig. Some of his playing is so tasty and Tal on the bass looks like she's still at school!!

I love both of them, but can see why people would view Jeff in a whole different way. Jeff Beck is just on another planet! Even Joe Satriani says he is in awe of how he plays. Jeff Beck is still getting better; I don't think he has even peaked yet! Matt p.s Steve nice try!

DAS44 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 To each their own, Clapton's technical skill never wowed me (I still love the man and his music don't get me wrong!). But Beck, my god have you been paying attention? I've seen him live, trust me he is one stellar musician/guitarist/eargasm inducing guy. He uses as few notes as he needs and as many as he wants. He can go as fast as you f'ckn want but he doesn't need to. I'd bet my left leg good sir Gary Moore had a healthy respect for both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
