Classic Rock Guitar Virtuoso Jeff Beck dies at 78

Jeff Beck, one of the greatest guitar players to ever live. He was 78 years old. Jeff Beck joined the Yardbirds in 1965, replacing Eric Clapton who left to join John Mayall. Beck left the Yardbirds in 1966, but by 1969 had started a band with Rod Stewart and Ron Wood called Faces. In 1979, he released an instrumental album called ‘There and Back.’ In 1999, Beck received his first Grammy for best rock instrumental performance for his cover of the Beatles’ ‘A Day in The Life’. One thing almost everyone can agree on is that Jeff Beck is among the top 5 rock guitarists of all time (alongside Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton (who also died yesterday), Jimmy Page and Eddie Van Halen).

R.I.P. Jeff Beck, one of the greatest guitar players to ever live. He was 78 years old.

He was a virtuoso guitarist who became known for his technique and virtuosity, having played with both the Yardbirds and Faces before forming his own band, Jeff Beck Group (which later became simply “Beck”). His first solo album was released in 1969; it featured songs written by Rod Stewart, who would become Beck’s closest friend over many years as well as a musical collaborator on some later recordings together. In 1992 RIAA certified “Smokin’ at Both Ends” as gold record status after sales reached 500,000 copies worldwide—making him one of only three artists (along with Stevie Wonder and Eric Clapton) with such designation since 1989’s release of “Take Me High” by ZZ Top featuring Billy Gibbons himself!

Beck left the Yardbirds in 1966, but by 1969 had started a band with Rod Stewart and Ron Wood called Faces.

You may have heard of the Yardbirds, but you might not know that they were one of the most successful bands in rock history. They had a huge hit with “For Your Love” and sold millions of albums before leaving in 1966 to focus on their solo careers. However, Beck didn’t stop playing music altogether—he joined Rod Stewart and Ron Wood to form Faces later that year.

Faces’ name was inspired by their shared love for Faces (a band from 1967), so it was fitting that their first album was called First Step Beyond! The group released three other albums before breaking up in 1970 because of personal differences between members: Rod Stewart wanted more control over his image than fellow member Ronnie Wood did; Ronnie wanted less control so he could pursue other ventures like acting; and Rod decided he wasn’t going to let those issues get in his way anymore than necessary despite being friends with both men since childhood days spent playing soccer together growing up near Manchester England during World War II when rationing meant food was scarce for everyone except those lucky few who worked at munitions factories producing bombs for war efforts overseas where no one listened anymore because everyone knew how useless war really was now days after fighting had stopped due to Hitler losing power over Germany back then…

In 1979, he released an instrumental album called ‘There and Back.’

In 1979, Jeff Beck released an instrumental album called ‘There and Back.’ The album was the first to be released on Jeff Beck’s own label, Beck Ola Records. It contained a collection of instrumental songs that varied from classical to bluesy rock music.

The album was a commercial success and won him several awards including Grammy nominations for Best Rock Instrumental Performance and Album Of The Year (for “There And Back”).

In 1999, Beck received his first Grammy for best rock instrumental performance for his cover of the Beatles’ ‘A Day in the Life’.

You may not have heard of Jeff Beck, but you’ve probably heard his music. The guitarist is best known for his work with the Yardbirds and then later with The Jeff Beck Group, which released several albums in the ’60s before disbanding in 1970. In 1999, he received his first Grammy for best rock instrumental performance for his cover of the Beatles’ “A Day in the Life.”

While this isn’t exactly something you’d expect to see today (especially considering how much time has passed since), it’s not uncommon for musicians to take inspiration from other artists when creating their own material. In fact, some artists don’t even try to hide it—they just say so openly! For example:

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl admitted that he likes Nirvana better than Metallica when asked who was better at making music after hearing both groups’ back catalogues through headphones while riding on an airplane flying from LAX airport back home near Seattle area

One thing almost everyone can agree on is that Jeff Beck is among the top 5 rock guitarists of all time, alongside Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Eddie Van Halen.

Beck was known for his technique and virtuosity. He was a member of the Yardbirds from 1966 to 1968 before leaving because he felt his bandmates were not as good musicians as he was. Afterward he formed Bad Company with vocalist Rod Stewart and bassist Andy Fraser who had played with him previously in The Yardbirds. They became famous after releasing their self-titled debut album in 1970 which featured hit singles like “Shapes Of Things” and “Feel Like Making Love.”
