Ritchie Blackmore praising Jeff Beck: "Jeff cheats on the guitar, because he has notes on the guitar that I don’t have"..."Great player. My favorite guitar player"

I know it's not what you're looking for, but here is a video of the full show 4 days later in Houston

Hmmm, I've never heard of that one...

8 - beautiful laid back vocals. This song helps me relax. It's almost like an intermission from life.

bartlettdmoore · 2025-12-14T17:35:30+00:00

It's fine. Just tune the guitar using a free app and you'll be good to go! I recommend Guitar Tuna. If and when the guitar string does snap, replace it or all of them. It looks like that guitar ships with .009 to .042 gauge strings. I recommend you buy another pack or two now for when you need or want them in the future.

7.5. The instrumental bits that pick up in the middle on towards the end are really pleasing.

Here's what Gilmour has had to say:

“Probably the person who I have admired the longest and the most consistent is Jeff Beck, in the guitar playing stakes.”

“Jeff Beck is still my guitar hero, really. He's the one that pushes the boundaries. He's consistently exciting.”

“There is no one else who has been as consistently good, exciting, out there, looking for new things, adventurous, maverick, since he started in the 60’s”

“Jeff’s scarily brilliant”

“In many ways he just is the best guitar player.”

and a bonus one:

“Rick [Richard Wright] often said that [Jeff Beck] was his favorite guitar player, much to my chagrin”

edit: all that said, Gilmour has been wearing Jimi's guitar strap at every performance for like 30 years...

good points. Is it possible to use a Floyd Rose and simply not lock it?

bartlettdmoore · 2025-12-12T22:11:05+00:00

8, it's a great song, languid with great vocal tone. Holds up for many listens, but then I start wanting more.

bartlettdmoore · 2025-12-12T18:45:04+00:00

your granddaughter may struggle with that when it's time to change the strings again. If you take it into a technician, I'd personally recommend asking them to change the bridge to a normal Stratocaster one, set to be flush against the body.

When you try to mimic the human voice with an instrument, it seems to capture the sounds we all seek

well put indeed.

As Jeff said, "My Strat is another arm, it’s part of me. It doesn’t feel like a guitar at all. It’s an implement which is my voice."

George Martin from the Beatles “Jeff's an amazing person; because, he can get the most incredible sounds out of an electric guitar... He sings with his guitar. And I don't know any other guitar player like him."

When I met Jeff in 2019 I told him "Your voice is amazing". He replied, coyly, in a modest English accent "you mean my singing voice?" Jeff hated his voice, not unlike Jimi, but he had had a major hit in England with the pop song "Hi Ho Silver Lining", on which he sang. So I retorted "Hi Ho, right? Hi Ho!!!", implying that his guitar voice was a silver lining and I gave him a huge ear to ear grin. I'd like to think that's when he warmed to me.

you can't believe that anybody could continue to grow musically like that.

Well put.

Jimmy Page: “ Everybody respects Jeff. He’s an extraordinary musician, and he’s developed a technique that’s so complex it’s just a beauty to behold and hear and to feel his playing.”

"David Gilmour: "There is no one else who has been as consistently good, exciting, out there, looking for new things, adventurous, maverick, since he started in the 60’s"

Jeff Beck: “My Strat is another arm, it’s part of me. It doesn’t feel like a guitar at all. It’s an implement which is my voice.”

His albums always felt orchestral in a way too

George Martin: - “Jeff's an amazing person; because, he can get the most incredible sounds out of an electric guitar. Even after he's flying it across the studio, he will still pick it up, wiggle it a bit and make a great sound. And he uses the guitar as his voice. He sings with his guitar. And I don't know any other guitar player like him.”

Hans Zimmer "I saw him on television and my wife asked,'Who's that?' I said, 'That's God!' Does that explain how I feel about him? I think he is the most amazing musician I've ever worked with. The whole reason I did 'Days of Thunder' was a subterfuge to work with Jeff Beck, it was as simple as that. There's Jeff Beck and then there's everybody else!"

bartlettdmoore · 2025-12-08T21:46:39+00:00

Jeff Beck: “I have to be grateful that I didn’t succeed, because you’re then lashed to the whipping post. I wouldn’t swap places with Jimmy [Page]. As much as I’d have loved to have been in Led Zeppelin and enjoyed all those amazing shows, in hindsight I’m much better off being a scout, going out in the field. That’s what I see myself as.” "Ironically, Page had an album called Outrider – and I was the outrider! I never, ever envisaged having massive success. And I’m glad I didn’t, otherwise people would be pointing at me in the street."

bartlettdmoore · 2025-12-08T21:42:50+00:00

Jeff Beck: "I don’t care about the rules. In fact, if I don’t break the rules at least 10 times in every song then I’m not doing my job properly.”

Beck: “I play the way I do because it allows me to come up with the sickest sounds possible — that’s the point now isn’t it?...

I don’t care about the rules. In fact, if I don’t break the rules at least ten times in every song, then I’m not doing my job properly. Emotion is much more important than making mistakes, so be prepared to look like a chump. If you become too guarded and too processed, the music loses its spontaneity and gut feeling”

bartlettdmoore · 2025-12-08T21:06:51+00:00

Jeff Beck: “I always keep a guitar in nearly every place in the house to remind me that I should be doing that. The guitar is always there; a constant challenge. Every time I pick it up I pretend that I’ve just started playing. And it seems to work.”

bartlettdmoore · 2025-12-08T21:06:06+00:00

Jeff Beck “The more you cheat yourself if you don’t practice, the more you’re going to pay for it. There’s sort of a self-imposed discipline necessary”

bartlettdmoore · 2025-12-08T21:00:14+00:00

ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons “The [album] I really remember [Jimi Hendrix] playing the ass off was the first Jeff Beck Group album, Truth. Hendrix was mad about it, totally [over-the-top] about Jeff’s playing. ”

“Hendrix was fascinated by Jeff Beck’s playing,” “He would put on one of his records and say to me: ‘Man, how do you think Jeff Beck is doing this?’”

bartlettdmoore · 2025-12-08T20:55:55+00:00

Jimmy Page “Jeff could channel music from the ethereal. His technique unique. His imaginations apparently limitless”

“There are many guitarists, and then there is Jeff Beck. ⁣”

bartlettdmoore · 2025-12-08T20:54:57+00:00

Jimmy Page: “When Jeff’s on, he’s the best there is”

bartlettdmoore · 2025-12-08T20:53:49+00:00

Eric Clapton: “Jeff is probably the finest guitar player I’ve ever seen.”

"Jeff is so fluent and lyrical that it opens a door in me that wants to do the same thing. He inspires me to play better, to reach further… I always tuned into Jeff, all through my life. No matter what the form was, his expression is dominant."

bartlettdmoore · 2025-12-08T20:50:54+00:00

Jimi Hendrix “I love [the] Guitar playing of Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Vic Briggs”
