He was my favorite musician. I still can't believe he's gone. Nobody can play ballads like him and his trem work is out of this world. RIP Jeff! 😢
Nobody can play anything like him.
I watch that clip and I start crying. Jeff Beck - you are genius.
Live at Ronnie Scotts must have played a hundred times in my living room. I'm still filled with sadness that he was taken so suddenly. Thank god we have his library of amazing music to remember his incredible talent
Absolutely the best live performance I can think of from anyone ... His music was so
"take off running" ... Not much counting in on a Jeff Beck song... I am also greatly sad of his passing... I also have the DVD in my player in my guitar room ... I watch it over and over without being bored
That video is only one of two that I keep local on my phone. The other is Concert for George
That week of shows was Jeff at his finest. He was having a ball on his home turf with an amazing group of players. I saw him live in 2019, 5th row, right in front of him. I had to really shake up my schedule to make it happen, and almost didn’t. So glad I did. Sure never figured that would be my last opportunity. 😔
Saw him at ,The Horden Pavilion in Sydney around 76, he was so good I went and bought tickets for the following night. "Unforgettable".
Amen...
And Jeff is not only using the vibrato to play melodies, he is using the volume knob for violining in the same time
Pure acrobatics and testimony to his originality
He took some idea from Roy Buchanan I believe , regardless just incredible control of the guitar
Exactly: he used the volume knob in a similar way to Roy Buchanan's, to whom the song is dedicated.
I copied as best I could what Mr. Beck did with 'caused we've ended as lovers' when it was current and I've been playng it ever since. He taught me more with that song than any other song that I ever learned. I'm 67 now, and have played since I was 11. I learned from copying everbody and wearing out records moving the needle back over and over. That's how I learned from Jeff Beck. Still on a level of his own. Thanks, Tim!!
I’ve lived a similar story with this tune. Floored me when I heard it at 12; I’ve been playing along to it ever since (I’m 60).
Ditto this ^^^^ 67 too and immersed myself in JB early on and was fortunate enough to be in bands that could go along with playing many of these tunes.
Surprised since you were obviously doing your recording copying (literally in your case) in the '70's you didn't use a cassette tape recorder - much easier than records.
Regardless - whatever you did worked for you!
Saw Jeff Beck live twice. Totally blown away both times. We lost a good one there. R.I.P. mate.
I saw him back in 09 with his Ronnie Scotts line up. Insane!
It's incredible that his latest performances of the song were even better than the recorded version. He just got better and better. He sounded more like a human voice than any other guitar player. For me, he is the GOAT.
most people can't even play anymore at 78. Beck was better than ever. Even if you compare back to performances of 10 years ago, he was better in 2021.
The greatest gift Jeff Beck's music gives to me is that a thirty second clip of him playing will inspire me to pick up my guitar and play for a couple of hours, without fail. Every note he plays is a reminder of how much beauty and joy this instrument can summon, and the infinite depth of expression and color it is capable of producing. One need only be oneself, be still, listen with a caring ear and mind, and let your musical intuition guide you there.
Well said!
The phrase "make the guitar sing" takes on a whole new meaning when he does it. Think that is the first time I have ever heard a guitar actually sing! Totally incredible!
I have been a MasterClass Member for 1-1/2 years. It is a tremendous value for the price of admission. Tim is an amazing teacher.
honestly thinking about doing it
Jeff Beck was one of the most inventive and spectacular guitarists of all time. One of a kind player and brilliant improviser. Love that solo from Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers. Such a great song.
“Cos we’ve ended as lovers”… oh man…. Blow by blow and wired are two of the greatest albums ever… the songs (compositions and arrangements), artists and playing are all superb
Yeah forsure my favourites to.
I'm a non guitar player, and a non musician, but I was captivated listening to this chap. He speaks a different language to all but skilled musicians, but even as an interloper I can take real enjoyment from listening to an expert enjoying his craft.
Bravo🙂
Lukather always plays a very nice interpretation of Jeff's tunes.
Check out Greg Koch's version of cause we've....
how about having johnny marr play beck in a biopic.
"Where Were You" is one of my all-time favorite songs that Mr. Beck did. Really, one of my all-time favorite songs period. There was/is no one like him. RIP. 😥
Saw him many times. Last time was 3 months before he passed.
Also saw him years before opening for Santana. He used that guitar.
RIP JB
Jeff Beck is one of a kind, what a beautiful player and unique touch he had😢
Thank you Tim Pierce for explaining in detail just what Jeff Beck played, and what certain notes and phrases because of his determination, probably with some guitar that he had tried to make when he was young; he was so determined to control certain notes , that he became very good at doing the impossible. He did that quite a lot , because he could. He was so determined, that he never gave up. Cynthia Allen-McLaglen
My first live Tim event - thank you for the lessons my man!
Very welcome!
Hey Tim
I am pretty sure Seymour built 2 tele bibs..
One with a Gibson tunamatic/stop tail peice and one with a chopped down tele bridge...
The one the late JB received from Seymour had the chopped down tele bridge.
That makes sense. Judging by the pictures you see online. Thanks for the comment :-)
Kudos for your work on the best album ever: Amused to Death. With Jeff Beck's best solos (heart breaking even on the ballad of Bill Hubbart) ever.
As amazing as that clip of "Where Were You" is, the one on his Live at Ronnie Scott's DVD is even more amazing.
Thanks for the comment. I'll have to check it out. :-)
@timpierceguitar Thanks for the reply, and for the great content on your channel.
@@timpierceguitarThe Ronnie Scott version of that tune is absolutely beyond belief. Maybe the most incredible display of guitar mastery captured on film.
It is from his 89 studio LP Guitar Shop
There are people un familiar with Guitar Shop?
Almost as amazing is JB's ability to pull every harmonic - especially at the 2nd fret!!!
His solo on Bon Jovi’s “Blaze of Glory” is also a work of art. Amazing technique in that solo.
Jeff Beck was, is, & will ALWAYS be my favorite guitarist. Saw him 15 times. His playing puts me in a place no other musician can. The day he died devastated me. Cried like a baby all day/night.
I saw the Master in 1980 There and Back Tour. Never seen a concert better than that. R. I. P. Jeff will never be another like you.
The Tele-Gib is definitely my favorite of his guitars. What an extraordinary player.
Greg Koch does a great version of this. When he played it at Policeman's Ball...man...so fortunate that was captured on film. It's not a long song, but just proved he was one of the absolute best. It was like watching/hearing Paganini.
That clip of him playing in front of the audience is utterly astonishing. The kind of playing that involuntarily brings tears to your eyes.
What a musician.
Beck‘s Guitar Shop was my first „real“ introduction to his art, back in 89. „Where were you“ really was sort of unreal (This was before you could see how it is done, besides the impossibility that Tim is mentioning).
Same here got the cd when it came out, still have it
WOW! I’ve not seen that performance from Beck… 😳 Has to be one of the most impressive displays of skill I’ve ever seen.
What was cool was seeing JB play "Where Were You" live with Bozzio and Co. on the Guitar Shop tour. Man...
"Let me love you" from the album "Truth" still floors me, just a killer tone!!
@Tim - check out Chris Buck and how he stores his pick to move between fingers and pick
Not only changing pitch with the bar but also doing volume swells with his pinkie at the same time. Very patient playing
Thanks for 6:51 the very rare footage of Jeff Beck on stage wearing a shirt with any kind of sleeves for the last time ever.
I was never a big fan of Beck. I grew up with Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads and I thought the faster and louder you played the better you were. Now, I have an appreciation for the space between the notes. This Beck piece is just beautiful.
The essence is this: it is not the guitar, it is the musician whose hands are on it, the moment. The Jeff Beck contribution to the track 'Lookin' for Another Pure Love' in Stevie Wonder's Talking Book is Mastery. No amount of analysis/paralysis will ever capture that. Nobody ever can replicate such a capture. ( imho) All this is - is 'following the scent' of genius. How sweet is that!
That Leslie affect is pretty dang good
What are talent you are? I only discovered you a few months ago. There’s only one word to describe you brilliant at what you do. I do like the way you slow things down. Keep on rocking. I’ll keep watching. Thank you. Priceless.
You were on fire today! I only saw the end live but I’m watching it now and you gave us an amazing show today Tim thank you!
Hooked to our show even when late. Joy to watch you showing us your pockets.❤Thanks mate.
What a GREAT broadcast. Loved it!!!!
Let me share an observation about you, Tim. A lot of guitarists play and their facial expressions and body language is an extension of the music they are playing. Examples are scrunching the shoulders, pursing the lips, arching the eyebrows. When I watch you I see the pure joy of the music coming out of your guitar. It’s refreshing. It always lifts my mood to watch you play.
Thanks for the free lessons and explaining Jeff Becks mastermpiece
Great video Tim, as always. I love your insights into these songs and how they came to be.
Another great episode Tim, thank you for everything you do!
That section where you labeled the sections of the solo: fast, melodic, strange, etc. blew my mind. Awesome playing and great insights as always Tim!
Awesome. Thanks Tim!
thank you Tim, great to watch
Jeff opened my ears to new windows of sound when I first heard "Rough and Ready" back in 1971. And he remained my favorite guitar player of all time in terms of melodic and musical playing. I forgot that Stevie wrote that song. So great.
talking about the greats, you are one of them .whish i could learn from you.respect.
Great video! Thank you!
Really enjoyed the show, as informative as it is musically, the class and style are all there. There.
"A land mine to be stepped on or an opportunity to be taken". Brilliant. Thank you for your amazing insights.
How could I not give you a thumbs up Tim. Every one of your Videos are exceptional.
Tim Pierce Guitar Thanks Tim I needed this lesson to remind myself of some important stuff. I met Jeff in 2009 such a lovely guy in person, with a great sense of humour.
The simplest songs are the most beautiful, perhaps?
I remember seeing Miles Davis with Mike Stern and Bill Evans (sax player) and they played a couple of 20 minute songs with 1 or at best 2 chords, just riffin" and solos.
That's why guys like you Tim are so good, you don't run out of good ideas even playing over simple, even childlike changes.
Thanks Tim for all that you share!😸
Always interesting. Much respect Tim...
What a great lesson! Thank you
I'm so glad you did this. This track is one of greatest bits of music ever and I only recently had discovered Beck played it on the guitar Duncan made for him. It is all so sweet sounding!
this are so interesting backround informations , really an inspiration
Love when great musicians come together, Jeff Beck and Stevie Wonder, best ever. Great lesson on playing changes for sure.
The Best, thanks Tim
One of the best musicians/guitarist that we’ll ever know. Just amazing! Tim, nice seeing the Naylor in the line up again, one of my personal favorites and my main amp.
I love that Blow by Blow LP. He was an amazing guitarist. Years ahead of his time. Thanks for the memories Tim! Love your show.
Beautiful tones, way over my head.
So good!!
Yes that progression is truly magical.
Great rundown of one of Beck's greatest, thanks Tim!
Breath taking, heart breaking, and tear making!
Tim, thanks for the info. Cause We've Ended as Lovers means a lot to me but probably more to an old band mate of mine, Allen Hinds. You may know him or have heard of him. He plays at the Baked Potato regularly and was deemed "Legato King" by a guitar mag. So his connection to the song goes like this... back in the mid 70s I was in a band in Auburn Ala. I ran sound and did backing vocals from the board. We had a great guitarist named Sid who was actually an accomplished classical player who had converted to electric. Sid decided to go back to college and quit "rock and roll." Allen lived and played in Auburn and was a high school friend of our bassist/composer and our keys man Jack who actually taught Allen to play when he was 15. So we weren't sure if Allen could adequately take Sid's place and he sat in on a few gigs along with Sid to get the feel. On his first solo gig without Sid we played CWEAL for the first time. Well all doubt was erased when Allen absolutely "tore it up" leaving us all astonished. Allen was and is a big Jeff Beck admirer and I'm happy to say that a couple of years ago he got to meet Jeff. So that's my story and I'm sticking to it😁
Great stuff!!!
Wow. I didn't know who you are until you mentioned 'Amused to death'. Great solo playing on 'what God wants, part 2' But yeah, as your wife was listening to part 3 and thought it was you playing the solo, that's a great honour as it's one of my favourite Jeff Beck solo's of that period..
Tim-
Kudos and my sincerest thanks for all you do!
Was amazed to learn that the neck pickup trick is a new discovery for you, as it was one of the first things I learned some 50+ years ago. Unfortunately (at least for me, and without a doubt fortunately for the rest of humanity) it turned out that I'm by far a better technician than an actual guitar player!
Again, my sincerest gratit😮ude for your many talents and expertise that you continue to grace us with. -E-
My absolute favorite instrumental!! You can almost hear the words.
Where Were You...❤ Wore this record out when it was released !!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Only Concert ,i was 2 nd Row, Center Stage, at Miami Arena. Jeff Beck with Stevie Ray Vaughn.....'89 or '90...Both Sets were AMAZING.....Best Rock Show i ever saw!
Saw that at cap ctr. And out of nowhere. Srv stops in the middle of a song and got on a religious rant. And getting clean . The whole audience was confused . . Then he passed away after that it was nuts Did he do that at Miami show ??
@@godbyone No....straight up Rock Show, Beck Mellowed things out ....then they Jammed for a few Songs. The thing I remember most was bits of skin or string ripping out in the lights, and both legends had hands that looked like 80 year old men's hands , going Skeletal
Excellent presentation Tim to a legendary tune by Jeff Back. I particularly love your explanation of the lead notes over the chords to ‘Because We were Lovers’. I also like your style generally talking between chord breaks with key changes and your very personal, positive approach. Boy you really have to love the sound of Jeff Beck on the film clip playing with his thumb with precision and basically using his hand to pull up the tremolo bar, to make the pitch of the note higher. All the notes are I feel in minor key. I wonder if Jeff Beck considered playing jazz - he would be good.
Tim that Singlecut is absolutely beautiful...big fan of that guitar!! Thanks for this spotlight on Beck...what a loss we all share
I remember being blown away the first time I heard the crazy whammy arpeggios in Where Were You, and all over again when I realized he could consistently play it live. Superhuman!
Jeff, though well known, has always been a mystery to me. Only because I did not dig into his recordings. I just download this tune while watching you and will practice it! Thanks Tim!
great episode Tim........can you post the link to that Jeff beck solo on British television? someone sent me that about 6 months ago and I was driving and put it on and tears came streaming down my face .......it is so remarkable
Great one Tim. You totally get the tones and the riffs and make it look easy! but how have you had such an amazing career without that middle position trick? It got me through many a gig over the years.
He was one of a kind, my favorite guitarist.
My only Jeff Beck album, and my favorite (everybody's favorite) song from that album. Thanks for the story,
Damn Tim
This episode is as good as it can possibly get.
Thank you 😎🤙
Hi Tim. Love all your work. I bought a guitar from my electrician on a job in 2012. Been playing since then. Would love to meet you one day to sit down and finally find out why I sick at this.
Guitarland has been my favorite guitar record for the last few years. I first heard about from a Shawn Tubbs post. It's just perfect! Wonderful blend of melody and chops!! Very inspiring.
Wow, was this a guitar lesson or a music history class? Mind blown!
Thank you Tim
Tim you could play anything and sound amazing.
Great work Tim, you got the story 💯 percent right! 😎🎸
When Jeff recorded Where Were You, he started with a standard strat but had problems with the pull up on the harmonic section. He switched to the Strat Plus (has the metal Wilkinson Nut) which didn't kill the note .
I've enjoyed your playing Tim for many years one of my favorite moments was during your time with Rick Springfield and the Concert The Beat Of The Live Drum.
Great teacher great player ..& i LOVE Guitarland .
I was in middle school when Blow by Blow and Wired came out. I shed a few tears when I heard of his passing ❤
Tim you're the man!
Wonderful video ❤
Not only Jeff is working with the whammy bar he is also riding the volume knob
I saw Jeff Beck many times. I saw him with the second Jeff Beck Group with BBA and solo 6 times. One of those shows was when he toured with Jan Hammer.and when he played Cause We've Ended as Lovers it was so beautiful it actually brought me to tears. He is sorely missed.
I still miss Jeff Beck. I think he’s the only guitarist who could literally move me to tears just by playing his guitar. No wait, Pat Metheny managed to do that to me once as well (with ‘Letter from Home’. Although that was more because of the beauty of the song itself).
I played ‘Cause we’ve ended as lovers’ when I graduated at the conservatory of music back in 1997. I always loved that Gmaj7 chord. You have no idea how many times I have seen bands covering this song, but changed the Gmaj7 into a G7. Apparently lots of people can’t get used to that sound. Their ears demand a dominant seventh chord to resolve into the C-7. 😬
