Jeff Beck – Too much to lose

Jeff Beck, one of the world’s three greatest rock guitarists, doesn’t just play rock—he also has stylish funk tracks like this.

For guitarists who admire Jeff Beck, his exploration of such a wide range of genres is likely one of the reasons why.

The guitar melody, which has a chorus-like quality, feels incredibly good.

Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers

Jeff Beck, one of the three great rock guitarists alongside Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page.

This track is a slow instrumental number from his classic 1975 solo album Blow by Blow.

Originally a ballad provided by Stevie Wonder, Beck’s unique interpretation—packed with diverse techniques—transforms it into an innovative instrumental version.

While the piece invites you to savor Beck’s playing throughout, the dramatically weeping melody truly suits the Japanese title “Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers.”

Jeff Beck – Scatterbrain (Performing this week…Live At Ronnie Scott’s)

Jeff Beck, counted as one of the three great rock guitarists, did form a band that came very close to hard rock at one point, but afterward he gravitated more toward jazz and fusion.

This is a distinctive masterpiece that occupies a position as if hard rock and fusion had been fused together.

JEFF BECK LIVE Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers

Jeff Beck, who sadly passed away in 2023, left behind a brilliant legacy, including six Grammy Awards.

He created countless masterpieces, but the one I’d like to recommend is “Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers.” This is his cover of the song released in 1974.

The original lyrics sing of the sorrow of losing a loved one.

Jeff Beck’s performance, which conveys that message through the sound of the guitar alone, is truly breathtaking.

Where Were You – Jeff Beck

One of the surviving guitar legends.

Although he doesn’t seem to be very popular in Japan relative to his name recognition, as a guitarist he’s a deified figure who is highly praised by many renowned peers.

His famed early partnership with Rod Stewart is also well known.

Darrel Higham Feat. Jeff Beck Crazy Legs

This is a track from the tribute album Jeff Beck dedicated to his own guitar hero, Cliff Gallup.

It faithfully recreates a song by Gene Vincent & The Blue Caps almost exactly as the original.

Not only Jeff Beck, but also the Big Town Playboys deliver thoroughly compelling performances.

Beck’s BoleroJeff Beck7rank/position

Beck’s Bolero

Jeff Beck—whose name inevitably comes up among the greatest rock guitarists.

This track is from the first Jeff Beck Group’s 1968 debut album, Truth.

Said to be inspired by Ravel’s Boléro, it offers a classical-level listening experience where you can fully savor the charismatic guitarist’s tone.

Who knew a guitar could sound this pleasing? As expected of him!
