Geoffrey Arnold "Jeff" Beck (24 June 1944 – 10 January 2023) was an English musician who first made his name in the 1960s with the Blues Rock unit The Yardbirds, but over his fifty-year career he also put his stamp on blues, jazz, soul, heavy metal, and electronica. Because he succeeded almost entirely on the merits of his skill as a guitarist – never chasing pop trends, and rarely either composing or singing – Beck earned a paradoxical reputation as a "musician's musician" in spite of recurring problems working with other musicians.Rolling Stone recognizes him as the fifth greatest guitarist of all time on their list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.Beck died from a sudden attack of bacterial meningitis on 10 January 2023, at the age of 78.Not to be confused with Beck. Or Glenn Beck. | |

Step Up to the Microphone | |
| Jeff Beck (Music) / int_51f90774 | comment |
Step Up to the Microphone: An unusual instrumental example on Beck-ola, with "Girl from Mill Valley", which is a showcase for keyboardist Nicky Hopkins, who wrote it and fronts the song on piano and organ. | |

Zig-Zagging Trope | |
| Jeff Beck (Music) / int_8c49c29e | comment |
"Superstition" zig-zags it a bit. Beck volunteered to help Stevie Wonder during the sessions for Wonder's Talking Book album, with the agreement that Wonder would reciprocate by writing a song for Beck. "Superstition" grew out of a jam between the two during the sessions, and Wonder finished it with the plan being that they'd both record their own versions, but Beck would release it first. Wonder recorded his, but the Beck, Bogert & Appice album got delayed, and Motown's Berry Gordy decided to rush-release Wonder's version as a single, leaving Beck, Bogert & Appice to record theirs as Wonder's take was already climbing the charts. | |

Rearrange the Song | |
| Jeff Beck (Music) / int_b24ce4b2 | comment |
Rearrange the Song: Beck does this to one of his hits with The Yardbirds, "Shapes of Things", on Truth. According to Beck, Rod Stewart suggested that Beck re-record the tune. Beck responded by saying "Let's slow it down and make it dirty and evil". | |

Heavy Metal | |
| Jeff Beck (Music) / int_bab8a625 | comment |
Heavy Metal: Truth is an Ur-Example if not the actual Trope Maker - it came out before Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath's debut albums (though not before Blue Cheer's debut). Beck also recorded other material that borders on or falls into this style. | |
