RIP Jeff Beck. Thank you for all your music, being a stand up guy.
What a breath of fresh air. No nonesense, no pretence. Just a guy with a lifetime of experience who's created milestones in music history looking to the future with his trusty strat in hand and the infinite possibilities they can make. Great interview. Thanks.
Such a humble, honest down to earth musical icon you will seldom meet. Thank god for Jeff Beck.
He's honest for sure and I've always loved his playing. He's a rock standard and so much more but he's not so humble which is not to say that he's a braggart. There's nothing soft or easy going about him. That is NOT a knock because those are some of the qualities that have got him where he is. He's tough and stubborn and very driven and he simply doesn't go where he doesn't want to go. He's polite but he is not humble. I've seen it in person. If you try pushing him you'll be surprised because you be pushed back.
mrfester42 I agree. The shades tell it all.
Jeff Beck is my guitar God. U are the first person I've ever heard call him humble... New to him?
Rip…
Will always be thankful for what you left behind, to those who are still here, still playing. You will always be the best!
Sad loss great guitarist never be forgotten one off no one will sound like jeff again master of the whammy bar and volume control thanks jeff for all the years of listening to you rip jeff
Hats off to musicians like Beck who can still bring patience and generosity to interviews after all these years.
THE GREATEST. Love hearing him talk, too. So humble and in touch with himself and where he is in his musical journey.
Wonderful interview. Especially now, when we can look back at this remarkable person.
Jeff Beck, My all-time guitar god !!! People to this day can't figure out how he gets the guitar to sing like that.
"Singing" is spot on he's so lyrical without words.
By singing with it?
Saw the Truth band in D.C. in '68, and Jeff in Australia in '77 with Jan Hammer. Never watched any video more than Jeff and band at Ronnie Scott's. No rock guitarists from the '60s have been innovating at the level of Jeff. Thank you Jeff.
This is an indepth, great interview. I've watched many.
This one stands out and I'm glad ( all over J Beck reference) GOD BLESS ALL OF US ABOVE AND Down HERE IN EARTH SCHOOL
MISS YOU JEFF 🕊️💙😔✝️🌠🎶
I think Jeff Beck is the only guy who can make me laugh or cry with a guitar solo, sometimes both with the same solo.
Try Roy Buchanan. He had that same ability.
I kinda do both with his interviews as well - from his humor, wisdom, pathos/passion; lather & repeat. Infinite inspiration to create and soar.
To be liked by Hendrix in his guitar playing must be an honor even for a guitarist as incredible and brilliant as Mr. Beck!
Fantastic interview. RIP Jeff Beck 🙏
Saw him in april at The Paramount in Huntington, NY. Every time I see him, I smile for rest of the week . . . once again I was smiling. So enjoyable . . . He's a Monster Guitarist.
I love this interview. Jeff is one of the coolest guys ever.
Jeff beck RIP.. LEGEND!
Jeff's talent will always stand on it's own. I sometimes run with Jeff's songs which are as great today as they were when I first listened.
One of the best guitarists on the planet.
+Dave Jones Yes ne is THE best - BUT why do they interview him as a God in such an awful stage set???
Who knows.
Dave Jones
He may not be a very good vocalist, but he's a great guitartist.
@@michaelconsuegra7316 I've never heard him sing. I don't think he does sing.
Jeff Beck has changed his style and kept relevant. I like his stuff he's doing now, really dynamic.
Beautiful interview with Jeff.
Thank You, Mr. Beck, you inspired many including myself.
The greatness of Jeff Beck. Saw him the other night and he was amazing, as usual.
SO glad this hot-rodder is still with us and still havin' the vicar over for tea. Still havin' fun up there, Thank God.
There are so many great guitarist. Jeff Beck came from the Hendrix era He stands tall no one sounds like Jeff I love the sounds he can create he’s a guitar Legend.🎸🔥
Jeff always has very nice things to say about Jimi... Very Nice!!!
Jeff Beck is a true artist , he is down to earth ❗ His 🎸🎵🎶 sings ❗
Fender 🇺🇸 strat 🎸 👍
i allways loved jeffs style.
Jeff was the best guitarist that played in The Yardbirds. Clapton and Page are great, but Beck's style is so eclectic and out of the box. I think that's why he hasn't enjoyed the same commercial popularity as the former, but Jeff is the man, blow by blow.
Not that I fundamentally disagree, but define the box?
@@whynottalklikeapirat He didn't stick to the blues and played a variety of styles. He also released fewer albums.
A real down to earth guy love you Jeff x
Fascinating insightful interview of the supreme guitar man that I have followed since I first heard and met him 53 years ago. Just wish he could do more something with Rod, how about a revamped "I've been drinking" their best collaboration, without any doubt. Maybe though it couldn't be bettered?
Dear Mr. Wall Street Journal reporter...When Jeff Beck wants to talk, you listen. When he's ready to open up a vein, you attach a DieHard car battery to your camcorder and let him testify. You DO NOT end the interview! Sheesh!
I saw Jeff Beck and band nov.2009. Enmore theatre Newtown Australia. Thank You Jeff.
I agree. That was a golden opportunity. My heart sank when Jeff said "that's it?" 🙄
One of the most underatted guitar players. ...top of the pile when it comes to melody
I don't think he's underrated. The world knows he is possibly the best Strat player on the planet. He's in a class with McLaughlin and Herring.
There is never any doubt as to who is in command of the stage when a guitar is in the hands of Jeff Beck.
The best, period.
Sir Jeff Beck is a humble, down to Earth Guitar God, who sings with his Guitars.....everybody knows .....God bless
a truly unique voice on the guitar. stopping the interview when he wanted to talk was disappointing, what a MO
"I'd love to learn to play it..." The idea that you can never stop exploring new boundaries.
So talented Jeff Beck
He should do an album with some Ventures stuff Surf and Hot Rod 60's music .
As interesting on a personal level, as he is musically. Bright, quick, insightful. And an absolute genius with a guitar.
I heard the Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart back in the day and they were BOTH front-men. Jeff was the official leader and all the guitar lovers in the audience were there for him but Rod did a terrific job on vocals and they played off each other extremely well. Jeff's concern is that Rod's aging voice has pushed him into material that has no role for an aggressive guitarist.
paul harris get a copy of truth on album not cd. Then you will know were all the Becks fans come from.
god bless jeff beck
She did.
I was lucky to see JB Group in the Filmore East 1971 Great Show 2 double stack Marshalls 16 12" speakers 2- 50 or 100 watt plexi heads
He’s the best. Simples. Lovely man too and the only sixties god who’s still improving. A sublime talent and a humble and amusing man. Probably my favourite musician and my ambition is to meet him: lives in the same county as me, Sussex.
An honest-to-God Rock Star.
Such a beautiful man (and my favorite rock guitarist).
never thought about that before the way Jeff says Hendrix threw the lyric out at you - he's right.
saw JB on SNL recently when i saw jagger i thought oh no ffs,but they blew me away with 2 great blue numbers,becks a legend & should be recognised as such
He is recognised as such:, ask May, Gilmour, Page, Hugh Hopper, Blackmore: they all rate Beck as top man by a mile.
cannot wait to see him in the spring
Loved you then, love you now, love you forever, live forever Jeff.
Always my favorite guitarist
Very noteworthy that it was the sessions at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in Soho, London that were fed into the interview. I don't think that those sessions will ever be surpassed. We are bkessed to have them recorded on CZcams.
My musical hero!
He is the best.
he's one heck of a nice man! very rare in the egotistical music scene!
what a great sense of humour Jeff has got, ill write you a song where you have to sing Jeff.
Long live the King of the Strat! 🇨🇦🎼🎸
Best guitar in the Galaxy !!
what generous guy!
Jeff liked bossy people 🤗🥰….. lovely informative and human interview RIP Jeff ❤🎶🙏
Excellent interviewer and questions.
Legend!!
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR IF HE EVER COMES AROUND YOUR WAY YOU MUST SEE HIM PLAY LIVE YOU WON'T REGRET IT JEFF IS THE GUITAR HERO
Too right , he’s wonderful.
Jeff had a modest top 20 hit in 1967 with "Hi Ho Silver Lining" which he sang and featured Rod Stewart (backing vocals) and John Paul Jones (bass).
Wired Weird it's still a song that even today people get up and sing, great solo music.
I'm a huge fan, but really, you had to interview him like, out in the hallway?
And right next to the toilets....
Definition of Authentic in Guitar Language!
Well, that's him singing on The Nazz Are Blue on the Roger album with Yardbirds, isn't it?
My greatest influences and yea love to work on some cars with him, I turn a wrench
" .... I like bossy people, ... ". I can't believe he said that. I think he meant bossy woman ... don't we all love them, specially when they are talented ... lol
great guy virtuoso guitarist plays a strat so did jimi
He threw the lyric at you.. yes.
Jeff Beck is a National Treasure.
international T.
Looking at how strong Jeff's hands are.
TRES Cool et Heavy
I need a Rosewood Neck...
Ok Petsoounds was one of the most genious efforts of all time. It was the preginegor of Sargeant pepper. That album would not have existed but for Pet Sounds. Wilson did everything with the ear of a conductor. The only thing in my lifetime that comes close is Thriiler.
Beck is much more complicated a personality than a "truly humble guy."
i would've loved to see vinnie stay with beck.
+twinsmm1 Ditto, but change Vinnie to ROD.
@@allenmcdaniel1470 Rod don't play like that anymore doesn't sing like that anymore and Mister Beck is not going to jeopardize one hot rod dollar.
I like what he said about Wilson when this tour was over: ”he belongs in care.” Meaning, psychiatric care.
funny, they don't talk about Corsica...or Françoise Hardy...or Thomas?
woo
He talks about a lot of things, but for some reason omits to mention when he was in Spinal Tap, the greatest rock (mock) band ever
so wait, you had access to Jeff beck ... and asked him 6 minutes worth of questions.??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
it's the link between Keith moon and beck...
Like his way of thinking not an all rounder master of one
Talk about modest
It's generally overlooked that Jeff really look like one that is supposed be a guitar god!
Hows the ohh l'm still trying to learn how to play response, thats a man never satisfied........
Jeff Beck + Rod Stewart is Led Zeppelin before Zep.
Dont get me wrong, I love Jeff Beck as a person but man look at 6 48 , his hands are almost bigger than he is omg
Beck is God
This bloke, he makes Satriani sound silly .
Why has he got shades on in a room. Trying to look cool, he’s a mature man, he doesn’t need to
what's with people today .. this humble b's is a standard that they apply to determine someone's great quality .. I don't care about humble .. I care about someone's honesty .. beck could say he was a terrible player and that would make him humble but also dishonest ...
wise words
Much respect to Jeff Beck,Guitarist Extrordinaire..... but DUDE, SERIOUSLY ? Get RID OF THE WIG, it looks RIDIC !
I love jeff beck, but why has he come dressed as michael jackson?
