A supernatural guitar genius and a most decent and generous human being. RIP

An intelligent humble man. Greatly appreciated and missed.

I'm 63 and been a fan since I was a teen. I still want to be able to play like him when I grow up.

I must've watched this at least 20 times by now, it never ceases to amaze me what kind of player Jeff is Every time he picks up a guitar he pulls the emotion out of me, making me a better player and broadening my horizons as a musician. I know he's been gone a couple of months now but his music will live on forever. RIP Jeff Beck, the "master of the stratocaster."

I broke out in tears, listening his music today. What a great guy he was! He was a singer and the guitar was his voice.

Long live the King of the Strat! 🎸🎼🇨🇦

I still find hard to believe Jeff's gone.

Jeff Beck, was and always will be the guitar God. No one can compare. Rip Jeff.

I still cant believe hes gone. Damn.

I play guitar for over 40 years now, and growing up in the 80s hard rock frenzy, never "got" Beck. But I did catch up later. What a player. THE guitar player, to me, for rock.

Wow bloody amazing thank you

I’m not crying, you are. Ugh, this was so tough to watch. I adore Mr Beck and his music.

Born in 56 ive heard all the great rock and jazz guitarists. Just my opinion,but JB is the greatest because he can play anything and everything with feeling

Unbelievable!!!

The world has seen some great guitarists and I take nothing away from them by saying Jeff was a legend. He was the guitarist's guitarist. He never stopped experimenting with sound and music genre. He could play anything and make it look effortless. We have lost the man but he left us a treasure chest full of his priceless work.

What a wizard he was 😮😊

Hands-down, Jeff Beck is a genius on the guitar! He developed his own style uncopiable! RIP gone too soon…

He just described his music perfectly: “endless colour”. Spot on…

When he said Blow by Blow was his favorite album, I can’t believe that the crowd sat quietly, are they daft? That is a milestone in music, rock or jazz. RIP Jeff

In the annals of post WWII music Jeff Beck will sit atop the Pantheon of great musicians/guitarists having truly mastered his craft. I think of the likes of Oscar Peterson, Miles, Trane, Parker, Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, John McLaughlin, The Beatles, Jimi to name a few and yes, Jeff will be on that special list too. One must realize he gave us nearly 60 years of pushing the envelope with his guitar. 60 years not wasted on resting on his laurels. 60 years of great music. And I'm fortunate to have lived through all of that, to bear witness, to have so enjoyed seeing him perform a few times live and up close. Thanks for that, Jeff, rip.

There is no comparison of Jeff Beck to any other guitarist or musician. He was his own genre! RIP Maestro!

He plays the music of the spheres. It’s otherworldly

The man who took the guitar to places no-one had or has ever been before.

that rendition of A Day In The Life though! 😱

what a musician! what a guitar researcher! and what a man he was! RIP Jeff, we miss You!

An amazing guitarist who was introduced to me by best friend of 50 years, a guitarist himself who lost his fight against cancer in 2021. Both are missed deeply! RIEP Lester and Jeff❤❤❤

what a wonderful gift, especially now that we've lost him

Wow!!....... Just wow!!!

So emotional watching this wonderful interview. Saw Jeff playing with the Tridents as a teenager and many times since. He was always destined to be a wonderful guitarist but his humility and generosity to his fellow musicians is second to none. The sadness of his passing is indescribable as he was still at the cutting edge of new music, all we can do is be thankful that we were around to share in his life and music. RIP Jeff

Absolutely one of the greatest, hands down. No one will do what he did.

Unique maestro Jeff Beck. One of the best of the world. Thank we have he last two concerts in europe and America with the iconic/charismatic Johnny Depp....what amazing concerts of these two friends for life.

Masterclass!!!

7:08 "Can you give us a little demo?" Jeff was already reaching for his guitar. I love that.

It's been a real treat... how lucky we all were to have you around.

The bloke was just magical. There's no other way to describe him. And a superb human being to boot.

What an excellent interview! Jeff is irreplaceable and greatly missed! ❤

The funniest thing I ever heard Jeff talk about was that Billy Gibbons wears a tea cozy on his head. 😂

As George Harrison once Said: “He is the music. You can see when he enters the room. He doesn’t need a guitar.” But when he took one on it was just beyond. Saw him twice in concert. The only great guitar that never got boring. Lovely man to listen to and to watch. The pinnacle of what one can achieve on guitar.

WOW!

Miss him. Great to hear him in this great interview.

I miss Jeff so much. Such a kind and humble soul.

I often wonder when a gifted person such as Jeff Beck... leaves this world where does all that God given talent go.?? It's such a great loss to humanity that someone God Given talent is lost forever .....I Miss His Music So Much 🙏

What a loss. There is technique that has left this world and a heart of gold that will never be replaced. RIP

A Gentleman in very way... This is my generation and we are all leaving the Planet now and leaving great works of Music behind... Glad I was born in 1948 and grew listening to guys like Jeff Beck throughout my youth in the UK.

His is the only version of Little Wing I've heard that touches Jimi's. He nails the feeling and the sound of the song, and I've never heard that done by others. Then he talks about how he never got over his lack of confidence, how he always has to reassure himself of his worth. Dude, amazing. Just amazing.

YMMV, @mattgwardesq, after all, it's music! To me, SRV added flashes & flourishes that are more of the head than the heart. Jimi was singing about his love, and there's a purity and tenderness there that I don't hear in most of his other music. No doubt that SRV is great, but to me he's flashier and Jimi got straight to it.

Amongst guitarists, Jeff Beck is one of one.

I never try to play like Jeff. He's just so out there and such a master of technique it is pure magic. And I don't ever want to think of it as anything but magic. So I just breathe a big sigh of relief that I don't have to learn what he's doing and have decided to just accept it as magic. RIP Jeff

A turning point in my life was the first time I heard Blue Wind. I was 16 and rather one-dimensional when it came to music. I was at a concert waiting for a band to come on stage. In the meantime, they were playing a new record through the stacks. I asked a friend what that incredible song was. It was the aforementioned Blue Wind. It blew my mind and opened up new horizons into jazz for me. Soon afterward I was listening to everything from Frank Zappa and Chick Corea, to Bill Evans and Miles Davis. For that, I will be forever grateful to Jeff Beck. Oh, the band finally did come on stage. Led Zeppelin.

What the world lost when Jeff died, is immeasurable. One of the greatest guitarists of all time. Jazz, Rock, North African, Blues, Flamenco, Funk, Classical, Folk -- he knew it all. A creative powerhouse.

Jeff - what a delightful guy - and clearly, a Musician's Musician!

Rest In Peace Maestro Beck. that my friends is what mastery of the instrument and expression of emotion looks and sounds like.

Rod Stewart was made to sing blues and rock. When he started singing pop and chick ballads I was depressed and he has never been the same.

Man I miss him. Always innovative surprises all the time

I thank the musical gods for giving us Mr. Beck. I hate them for taking him away before me. Thanks very much for sharing. A true musical genius.
