I saw Jeff Beck here in Santa Barbara last night. I am still in awe. This was the most inspiring perfomance I have seen for years. Jeff is now 62 years old but he is playing at his peak. I walked out of the theater awestuck by what I heard. He is not just a fantastic musician but he really is the master of the electric guitar. He was just like an artist painting with his guitar. I have never heard anything more spectacular.
Plus he plays without a guitar pick choosing to use his thumb and fingers to caress his Fender Stratocaster. He is without a doubt the greatest electric guitar player in the world today. While I never got to see Jimi Hendrix live I have experienced the magic of Jeff Beck. If you get a chance to catch him on his US tour then do yourself a big favour. You can see the shows he is still doing at
