RIP Jeff Beck.
Shooting from the hip, and from memory: Jeff was a car collector from way back in the late sixties. He got in a bad accident in one of his cars and was laid up quite a while. They had to reset his arm to position it so that he could play guitar. While hospitalized, he wrote the songs for his next album. After rehab and all he hit the ground running with my all-time favorite album by him, “Rough and Ready”. He plays his best angry guitar work on that album. It snarls and bites, growls and hollers. In other places it soars and ducks and dives. He plays non stop inventive creative licks throughout, often in the background, then leaping to the fore. To repeat, it’s my personal favorite. Thanks Jeff for many hours spent with with you in my headphones.

Rough and Ready is one of the all time great guitar jams.
Turn it up so loud that Jeff can hear it in Heaven.
