[history]
Jeff Beck, among the most innovative and certainly the most unpredictable of ’60s guitar heroes, has died. He was 78.
A fleet, imaginative soloist, Beck brought formidable instrumental firepower to British band the Yardbirds, which he joined in 1965 as a replacement for Eric Clapton. Entirely at home with the group’s blues roots, he burnished their pop hits with an adventurous and virtually unprecedented use of feedback, sustain and fuzz.

One of the great 3 Yardbird guitar slingers...And while he never reached the level of fame that Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page enjoyed, he was arguably the most skilled guitarist of the three.

Damn, I even referenced Beck’s “I Ain’t Superstitious” on that thread.
This one is a real shock, he seemed pretty healthy up to a few weeks ago.

An amazing guitarist, and a class act. He always shared the limelight with the other musicians he shared a stage with, and very quietly helped many promising young players with their careers.
He will be well and truly missed.

It used to be when rock stars died it was from drug overdoses, plane crashes, murders, suicides & assassinations. Now, it’s from old age.
