I can't even convey how much this man's music and ability to express the human soul on the guitar has meant to me. I'm so grateful I was able to be alive at the same time he was doing it. A true genius. RIP Jeff.

Heartbroken for the man since the early seventies who inspired me. He never stopped innovating the way he played and pushed the envelope of what he could do. Thanks for the memories and all the music you left for us.

I grew up listening to The Yardbirds, Jeff Beck Group, Jeff Beck solo, Jeff Beck/Jan Hammer etc....this is a devastating loss for music.

OMG! My Heart is broken. RIP Mr. Beck. He/you will be greatly missed.

No one could do what he could do. His tweaks were so unusual and were the extension of his soul. the cries, the growls, and wind-blown sighs. His guitar became human in his hands.

God bless you Jeff and all your fans and friends around the planet. Very sad. Very sad. Another Legend has gone. Your playing never dies. In 20 years some young players will say, we want play like you Jeff.

What a huge loss to the guitar community - Since we ended as lovers was always my favorite cut.

It is a sad day for all who love music, featuring the guitar. No one can play guitar like Jeff Beck. I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert, and his technique held me spellbound. I couldn't figure out how he could hit the strings with the side of his thumb like that. It definitely doesn't work for me. I still play my original, vinyl copy of "Blow By Blow, " which is a true classic. We will miss you so much, Jeff!

So Jeff you're the first of the three Yardbirdsguitarists who left us, Eric and Jimmy back. Music- and guitar lovers are shocked all over the world! RIP, JEFF! YOURS, Vince

RIP Jeff Beck thanks for your music!
GodBless!

[williamwalton]

Peerless! Thank you for everything particularly Rough n Ready and The Orange Album ( as yet still untitled). Apparently Jeff didn't think too much of these two albums. Sure beats me... what a lineup!

[MsAppassionata]

So sad to hear this news. R.I.P. Jeff. One of the greatest guitarists who ever lived. 😭

[marthaworc]

R.I.P. Jeff Beck. There is one less excellent guitarist in the world, and that is very sad. Condolences to his family and friends and ex lovers, cause, to paraphrase one of Jeff Beck's titles, "they ended as lovers". He will be missed.

One More Musical Treasure Moves Mr. Beck.

[buttkrusher]

So sad, the guy had so much more to give, even if he had already written the play book.He never rested on his laurels, always pushed the envelope. R.I.P., you will be dearly missed.

Jeff Beck was a perfectionist in every way. His Guitar was an Extension of his Fingers, and ultimately, his Soul. Thank God, that he left us with Scores of Great Music, upon his passing. Music that will remind us of what Great Music is... ~~CR~~

[TheSixStringGuy]

Jeff Beck was a Legend across so many genres of music that included Guitars...he will always be remembered and his timeless music will live on forever

Sad news, Jeff has left the stage forever.
