, was among the first and last of rock music’s epic guitar heroes. He played according to his own rules, with styles as unpredictable as the diverse genres through which he jammed, flanged, strummed and rolled.
Capriciously innovative and unwilling to compromise — often to the detriment of having a single-minded career goal — Beck was one of Great Britain’s most noted musicians to come out of the psychedelic blues-based 1960s, an honor he shared with his fellow Yardbirds, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. For all of his frenetic soloing prowess, however, Beck was, like Keith Richards, a rhythm guitar monster whose dedication to soul led him to create gorgeous licks for a young, pre-Faces Rod Stewart and alongside Stevie Wonder on the latter’s “Talking Book” classic. Along with these fellow legends, Beck famously played with David Bowie during his 1973 Ziggy Stardust at London’s Hammersmith Odeon and on Ozzy Osbourne’s latest album, 2022’s “Patient Number 9.
From feedback-heavy rave-ups and fuzz-toned metallic blues, to swirling funk workouts and gently emotional jazz-fusion tracks, Jeff Beck’s diverse tones — usually played on his favored Fender Stratocaster — were as notoriously temperamental as his personality. Here are ten iconic moments from Beck’s career.
