Jeff Beck

Yesterday was a bad day…

When Jimi died, we lost a giant. With Jeff’s unexpected passing, the void is cavernous

I had the great privilege of introducing Jeff to his idol, Les Paul, back in the early 80’s, the start of a memorable relationship for all of us. The reverence and passion Jeff displayed for his instrument was truly stunning…makes you want to be a guitar-player

Jeff was gracious in inviting me to spend time at his home south of London. More than just a mentor, I considered him a friend…

who will be missed

  1. Wow… as he inspired you… so do you inspire us… Jeff’s riffs ringing in our ears & hearts for decades, your own masterful rock guitar and songwriting as well… not mention your beautiful voice! Oh, The beauty of it all…

  2. Any guitar player who can influence a drummer is some kind of musician. Jeff Beck is just as responsible for my success as a drummer as Buddy Rich or John Bonham. What a tremendous loss to our world wide family of music lovers.
