Here's a guy with an open mind


Jeff Beck has played every gamut from blues to opera on his guitar. He is likely the best guitar innovator in our lifetime. Who knows what Jimi would have done if he had lived, but Jeff continues to push the limits of what the guitar will do and explore his interests in every direction. Consider his contributions to other albums as well as his own. If you haven't checked out his new cd "Commotion and Emotion" then you can't see how far away from center he has gone, but you could check out his Les Paul DVD and see what he's been working on.

Why do I post him with ZZ Top do you ask. It is because a lot of people don't know that ZZ Top had a really great cd a few years back called XXX. Jeff Beck played a nice part in the cd and it's terrific if you haven't heard it. Lets say...the guys weren't sharp dressed but they did get into the mud!!



Oh...and if you haven't seen "Live at Ronnie Scott's" you missed the boat.
