RIP Jeff Beck

 A guitar great from my generation passed away today, January 11, 2023.

Jeff Beck was 78 years old.

The cause was bacterial meningitis his publicist said.

During the 1960s and '70s, Beck was a a member of

 the Yardbirds.  

 
One of the better songs from their album is "Over Under Sideways Down" from 1966.    Click below to listen

This is the first song of Beck's I heard and it's still my favorite.  From his "Blow by Blow" album, the song "Cause we've ended as lovers, released in 1975.

 

Beck was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.  Here's a clip from him playing with Jimmy Page of Led Zepplin, performing Bolero/Immigrant Song and Train Kept A Running.
