JEFF BECK TECHNICAL MAGICIAN

If you want proof that Jeff Beck is a notch above the rest, ask a guitarist. Run down with any player the list of guitar heroes in the rock pantheon —Page, Clapton, Townshend, Hendrix...then Beck... Measure the awe each name inspires.

Ask a couple of guitarists, and suddenly a consensus appears. Everybody may have been inspired by a Hendrix, a Clapton or a Page, but all of them, no matter what the style, have been touched by Beck, and can’t help but hold him in reverence.
