Hmmm…..some outlets are reporting this as an internet hoax.

But many say it’s true. Sad that there’s confusion created by morons on the internet.

Rest in peace

I liked his 60's and early 70's work and considered him a master. Rest in Peace, Jeff.

Sorry to hear this. SEems like lately the good ones are dropping like flies. RIP

Without question one of the true genius's of the guitar. Could get sounds out of the Strat that no one else could and rarely used a pick. Just his fingers. Rest in Peace, Jeff.

Saw Jeff play a couple years ago with Beth Hart at a local place near me, 2nd row and what a treat to see him play up close. He did have a unique finger picking style and got great, original notes out of his Strat. He is an icon and his playing will always be a part of my life. RIP Jeff

Damn good guitarist and a hell-of-a good car collector.
Seems we've lost a lot of the good ones this past year

RIP...

Heaven's got to have one heck of a band by now! Unfortunately so does Hell.
RIP Jeff, thanks for your contributions.

I never heard the name before and have no idea who he is. I guess I am not up to date on popular music.

 

[hittman]

Dude you gotta get out more …… “popular music”?? The man was 78!

He was most popular likely when YOU were college age.

I never heard the name before and have no idea who he is. I guess I am not up to date on popular music.

He was on pretty much everybody's list of the top XX number of guitar players in the world.
Been around next to forever.

 

[RC44Mag]

Jeffs virtuosity and Beth’s powerhouse voice a great pair and not to forget the other very talented musicians

 

[Dave P.]

One more of Jeff

 

[vito]

What band was he with?

[Cholo]

Did Google go out of business? LOL

 

[Richard C]

Yes, and the little Australian jazz bass player "Tal Wilkenfeld" that is playing in some of Jeff Beck's music videos is great! She can play a very fast jazz solo - amazing! Rest in peace "Jeff"...

 

[vito]

I let his fans do the searching for me. Thanks.

 

[gramps]

I am like Vito, never heard of him, never heard his music either. None of the music posted rings any bells. Sorry he is gone, obviously some people were aware and enjoyed his music.

Drifting from dead guitar players to a very good one still alive, managed to get good tickets to see Joe Bonamassa the end of
next week. Looking forward to a few days off work and no training.
