A decent enough guitarist who has nonetheless become the epitome of "overrated". Along with Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck was one of the very early guitar heroes. However the arrival of Hendrix made him yesterdays' news immediately and he spent the remaining decades churning out boring albums every few years that lack any clear musical direction. Regularly hailed as second only to Hendrix in guitar god status despite the fact that we have seen the likes of Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and dozens more who blow Jeff Beck out the water. Usually Jeff Beck is namedropped by insecure rock snobs to impress people nearby, despite the fact that nobody really likes him that much, or are even that familiar with anything he has done. Mentioning Jeff Beck is a good way to heal any damaged credibility someone may have if they happen to say they like any currently uncool music.

Beautiful. FAN FUCKIN TASTIC!!!

Guitar god who, despite the fact that he didn't write his own songs, was one of the greatest, most technically advanced, and most innovative rock musicians of all time. Part of the trio of guitar legends (Beck, Clapton, and Page) who were involved with British blues rock band the Yardbirds.

One of the greatest guitarists of all time, who passed away in January this year. Probably the best human out of the three famous guitarists (the other two being Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page) who played for the Yardbirds.
