Where does one even start with the passing of a musician that is guaranteed a spot on the Mt. Rushmore of their chosen instrument? Not since the death of Eddie Van Halen in October 2020, has the guitar world been so shaken and felt such a loss.
The impact Jeff Beck had on the world of rock and guitar-driven music is beyond reproach. Once he replaced Eric Clapton in the Yardbirds, on three days notice, no less, he followed up with a 7 decades-long career that morphed and evolved in a way like no other to pick up the instrument. I'd say he's the guitar equivalent of Miles Davis. Psychedelic rock, English blues, jazz fusion, rockabilly, electronica... and on and on. Like Miles with a trumpet, Beck knew no bounds with a guitar.
Up until his passing on January, 10, 2023, he stayed relevant. Just last year saw the release of a full-length album with none other than Johnny Depp and a high-profile collaboration with Ozzy Osbourne on what may prove to be the final release from the Prince of Darkness, Patient No. 9 . Those along with a very successful tour alongside ZZ Top kept us thinking he would continue to blow minds for years to come. Such wasn't the case...
It's a sad day for many of us and I hope you guys find something new here, or just gain further appreciation for one of the best to ever do it.
