Listen you sound like Steve now? I bet you they’re using the same guitar

Hoping still to see him!

Definitely think he's a better all around musician. He has done so many clever sounds and he is good at them. You can listen to Yardbird's songs and the Jeff Beck ones are easy to pick out - they have the cool guitar stuff. Page and Clapton are certainly exceptional, just not as versatile.

What amazes me about this is that Beck had not only to figure out an entirely different scale but then learn how to play inside of it in a way that, IMO, sounds warm, unstudied and yet pretty faithful.  I don't know, maybe he just copied something to a tee, but it doesn't sound that way to me.

It's credited to Nitin Sawhney.

Saw him play this recently. Right hand mostly played with just  his thumb and a whammy bar. Which makes this even more amazing. Pretty much his style these days from what I’ve seen. Pretty cool.

Just caught Showtime's doc on Jeff Beck. It's really impressive. 

Clapton, Page, Joe Perry, Gilmore, Slash - all saying "we're not worthy".

Love this song & just about every song and album he's done.  One of the best guitarists surely.    {#Bananajam} "Big Block" with Tal Wilkenfeld on bass at Crossroads - WOW!!!   Every so often we pull out the DVD and just blast it.

Jeff did work with Imogen Heap on this album. Her programming and sampling talents are lit.

I believe the rhythm section on this album was programmed.   Probably the earliest and still one of the few examples that do not render the music mundane.  The hands on the CD cover are his taken after they have been well soaked with used 20/40.  His home in Wadhurst East Sussex has a very well equipped garage with a pit and hydraulic lifts.  He services and maintains his cars. He has a taste for US V8 muscle and the very precise restoration and maintenance of English Tudor architecture.

Hey, that's not a bad summation of Jeff and a huge percentage of his work.

My agreement is confirmed by the fact that he's about the only musical artist I can think of who I've included on my "funeral playlist" with more than a single cut.

This, and Where Were You, (Guitar Shop) are just two of his MANY standouts. And if you haven't listened to it for awhile...here's a little treat for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD4Gmwo0E_0

All these people pointing to other possible comparisons....give me a break....seriously, this is the guy that could possibly influence anything you've ever heard that is in any way remotely similar. Christ, the guy has been doing this since the mid-60's. Ry Cooder? Mark Knophler? are you fucking serious? Jesus effing Christ! Do you even know who Jeff Beck is?

its cool that he imitates an hindi human voice with his guitar, but I prefer 10000000 times the original version with the beautiful voice of the girl who sung that (in NITIN SAWHNEY original song). Beck is just boringly imitating/covering an existing song :(  2!

Hmmm. Is this meant to be ironic? In your opinion, should there be no mixing of cultures, and should someone from one part of the world not appreciate and learn to play music from another part of the world? If that was your idea, then it makes me sad.

I absolutely can't abide this - I think I'm just biased as I love the Nitin Sawhney version so much, it holds such tranquil memories for me of travels, and this is all a bit too squiggly and manic for my taste.  Beck has talent - but it's like teaching your gran to breakdance, she might end up shit hot at it but it's going to look a horrid mess in the end so best not bother eh.
