Beatles via Jeff Beck



Notice at the end of the clip, when there is an audience shot, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant are both out there cheering.

BONUS Beck...


ABOVE: Shows what an innovative slide player he is. Most players play a slide with blues stuff, but there is nothing remotely bluesy about this tune. Watch through to the end where he plays the slide above the pick-ups.


ABOVE: When Jeff does decide to visit the blues, it is interesting. Whereas Clapton would slavishly play the same old tired riffs over and over in homage to the masters (I've always said Clapton is guitar's true conservative), Beck takes this Muddy Waters classic and totally re-energizes it. Imogen Heap helps too.

One more...
