I love Jeff Beck. He's one of the best. One of the few rockers who's actually getting better with the years.

[flappo]

cun't believe he's 60

he looks grate !

Jeff Beck is an amazing guitarist. Underrated indeed. Much better than Clapton IMHO.

Was Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, and Eric Clapton in the Yardbirds at the same time?

Can someone give me a timeline...

the original guitarist of the yardbirds was Clapton. He left the band and Beck replaced him in '65. then Page joined in '66 and played with Beck for only a few months.
Beck disappeared suddenly in the middle of the US tour. he had got tired of the band.

Have you seen the video of the concert with Beck, Clapton and Page in 1983? Jeff outplayed them easily. Very talented and cool guitarist.
Page is the best songwriter of the three. Clapton is second best at soloing AND songwriting

[Cato]

I have. most unexciting show I've ever seen.

you better see this footage.

He can play basically anything he chooses to.
"Blow By Blow" is a personal favorite.

[sambo]

Beck is brilliant, and IMO, is better than Clapton and Page. Freeway Jam from "Blow by Blow" is one of my all time favourite tracks.

[flappo]

yup

they did a sunday times best living rock guitarist in the world feature a few years ago

they asked brian may , tony iommi , eric clapton and a few other rockers who was the gratest

they all agreed jeff , with eddie second !

[Panamark]

Havent heard much of his stuff, but what I have, I liked.
He always seems to be overlooked, like Holdsworth as
one of the greats.

[flappo]

yeah , but holdsworth always seems to overdo his stuff . plus his materials a bit weak

amazing player tho'

i never rated vai or satriani that high , they always seemed like evh copyists to me

but lacked his heart and feel

[Cato]

not so important info about beff jeck

he was a fan of Van Halen when Dave was a lead singer.

[flappo]

really?

beck does do the odd bit of tapping , altho' unlike ed he doesn't over use it

sometimes eddie's stuff strikes me as ever so predictable

beck is never that

that dvd you sent me is fucking amazing , cato !

thank you again !!
