Jeff Beck would have died if he joined the Rolling Stones.The 64-year-old guitar legend was approached to join the British rockers when Mick Taylor quit in 1974 but turned down the job offer from singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards because he didn’t think he would be able to fit in with the hard-partying group.Jeff explained to Word magazine: "I had this flash that said, 'Don't do i.

The Ottawa Bluesfest opened last night on a good note despite the rain. There are literally hundreds of bands to see so you have to make your choices early on. Tonight I saw The Black Keys, and Jeff Beck.The Black Keys were underwhelming at best. This was my 4th time seeing them, but there was just something missing to their performance. The sound wasn't great which didn't help. They had a few ...

The thing I like most about YouTube is the string of screens that appears once a video has finished. Recently christheskins posted a video of Jeff Beck playing with Imogen Heap.After that deliciousness had ended it took only a few screens to find Jeff with Imogen duetting on a take of the blues classic Rolling And Tumbling. It's a pretty simple song, built around a riff that looks like a lot of...

A real treat this week was video of Jeff Beck's five nights at Ronnie Scott's... The hair is the same.the same sleevless vest,the deadpan humour.the original "NigelTuffnell" ..(beware further Spinal Tap references) I suppose i think of Jeff Beck in a similar way to Herbie Hancock..into his sixties,but still innovating,still in a state of evolution.. Come to think of it there is a direct connec...

People were rightfully blown away when they saw Sting perform "Roxanne" and "Message In A Bottle" in the 1982 Amnesty International Benefit concert/film "The Secret Policeman's Other Ball". It really pushed Sting's legend up a bunch of notches.But when I saw the film, the performance that blew me away the most was this one - Jeff Beck performing his classic "Cause We've Ended As Lovers". Eric C...

"If the voice don't say it, the guitar will play it," raps Saffron on "Pork-U-Pine," the third track on Jeff Beck's minimally titled Jeff. And he does. Beck teams with producer Andy Wright, the man responsible for his more complete immersion into electronic backdrops on his last outing, You Had It Coming. This time the transition is complete. Beck used electronica first on Who Else!, moved a li...

In late 2007 Jeff Beck played several shows at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London and he awed and enthralled the audiences with his searing, exquisite and ethereal guitar virtuosity. He's a complete master of the fretboard and whammy bar whose guitar can sound angelic and then suddenly thunderous. Many of his most riveting and agressive songs were played including "Becks Bolero," "Big Block," B...
