The man is a master of his instrument. Technical skills matched with an understanding of what sounds a guitar will make, and how those sounds should be used in such a wide variety of musical genres.
Is there anyone else so accomplished?
Guthrie Govan is a stupendous guitarist.
Eclectically beautiful.
I Agree!!
The original version by Nitin Sawhney is surely much better. In fact, Nitin Sawhney would fit in nicely on RP. Bill?
Yeah! And I would strongly suggest version from the Coke Studio session
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.
saw him at the Fillmore West in 1975.
While she's more than capable, I don't see Imogen credited anywhere for sampling/programming just vocals on track 3 and 4.
Aiden Love appears to be the programmer for the sequencing and such on this album.

Thanks, Bill!
I was lucky enough to see him in 1973 with Beck, Bogart & Appice. Good guitarist from the same stable as Page and Clapton. Maybe even a better allround musician than those two....and that's saying something!
There's no maybe about it.

Underrated? You must be kidding.
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.

Agreed
It's credited to Nitin Sawhney.

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

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

Apparently, for you. Just perfectly clever for us!
Listen to this live version of the original with the amazing voice of Nikki Wells: https://youtu.be/4jJJHfL1yQA
This is basically why I read the song comments :)
Correct!
I'm with you fellers.

Today it came on as I was reading Rabindranath Tagore's Gitanjali poems 90-96
because I recently lost someone so dear to me...
thanks for this mournings playlist
not so sure I can take it much darker


Please. Really!?! This is Jeff Beck, he copies no one. Especially not that guy!
Correct!

Probably not, but a handful of others that might come close: Eric Johnson, Pat Metheny, Steve Morse, Michael Hedges. Jeff Beck does top my list though.
I am adding Steve Vai to the list.
Jesus Christ....that right there says it all about this listener. Really....."great guitar"? no shit Sherlock and if you don't like the song go listen to your foreign crap like 99 fucking luft balloons which is probably on your top 10 over a fucking icon like Jeff Beck.
Let's all just listen to the music.
Everybody gets to like what they like.
No need to get nasty.
Btw, great song. I'll have to download that one.
Thanks!

Ever hear of a guy named Joe Satriani...

Ry Cooder possibly?
And Mark Knopfler. Some people just own their instrument.

Wrong indians. Smokem' peace pipe much?

No.
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.

You took the words out of my mouth... awesome!


Thank You! I was thinking the same!
This has to be one of the most interesting and descriptive analogies I've ever heard. Also one of the most disturbing. I applaud you.
Same here. But I really like this tune.

And if you haven't yet seen the current Jeff Beck At Ronnie Scott's DVD, I highly recommend it! A great production, this.

hey uwnav! If this other version you refer to is a good one, please upload it.
I believe the electric guitar does Jeff Beck's amazing talent justice.
I went to upload it, but it's already in the library!
Melody player is the sound of a guitar genius, he Jeff Beck. Indian classical drum beat is immersed in the heat of the liquid style of play. - 9 -
Indeed.

Saw it on tv a couple weeks ago. Really good. I had never seen Jeff Back play and didn't realize he plucks the strings with his thumb - makes what he does even more amazing.
his version i find is much more poetic.. I dont know if the elec guitar does this justice
jpfueler: hilarious!
Cats are generally not fond of noise. It, for practical purposes, tends to deafen them.
I noticed that, too! But I don't mind an "encore" from this guy.

...one man's headache is another man's Asprin
I want it... I want it!!!
The only Beck worth listening to IMO.
