    FFS, am a big fan of his. Only saw him live once but he was fantastic, did a great version of A Day in The Life. One of the holy trinity with Clapton and Page who all played with The Yardbirds at some point. RIP.

    One of the greatest rock/blues guitarists of all times forever remembered for the one song that paid a lot of the bills but that, by all accounts, he was so embarrassed to sing

    RIP

    Such a talented guitarist, and one from the Mayall stables that heavily influenced music of the 60s and 70s, my favourite period of music. Technically I am told he was sublime, and would have loved to have seen him with Rod Stewart. Terrible loss, I am unsure that most people will appreciate his importance to British music of the time. Very sad loss

    One of the very best British guitarists from the 60s onwards.  Can't believe he's gone already. 
    RIP

    Lived just down the road from us.

    Could be a big turn out for his funeral & another visit to Wadhurst from his old pal, Johnny Depp. 

    Sleep tight, Jeff.

    Wow obviously more associated with Hi Ho silver lining but was a very influential and respected musician in his day.

    I used to date a girl from his hometown of Wallington in the 90”s and her family were lifelong friends of Jeff Beck- her Dad knew him since they were at school together. The house had tons of pictures of Jeff and him together. From what I could gather he was a kind decent guy who didn’t forget his roots or his friends.
    RIP

    A few people I am acquainted with have worked with him, and had plenty of praise for him. RIP Jeff.

    I'm gutted and saddened to hear this news this morning. Loved his music from the Yarbirds onwards. A truly wonderful guitarist, who played with all the greats, from Clapton to Stewart and Nile Rodgers to name just 3. His music spanned the decades, such a sad and sudden loss.
    RIP Jeff, my prayers, thoughts and condolences to his family and friends. X

    Gutted and shocked, as I knew he was still touring internationally. 

    Just search "Jeff Beck" on Twitter and read the appreciations from just about every rock guitarist of note, and more. Page, Gilmour, Buddy Guy, the under-rated ZZ Top guys, Aerosmith..on and on it goes, and with less expected artists like Nitin Sawhney. 

    As my Czech radio DJ and rock sage texted me, he invented rock and pulled the rest behind him.

    For those of you who remember the film Blowup, which some of it was filmed in Maryon Park.At the end of the film there is about a five minute clip
     of The Yardbirds.I dont know if Jeff Beck was with them then.Always liked Hi Ho Silver Lining.Has become a Cricket Anthem.

    used to be always paired with Clapton as a 'geetar god' .. i m o a more versatile and melodic player than Lord Eric .. saw his band (including Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood)) several times at the Bromley Court Hotel in the 1960s .. R I P Jeff

    He was the lead/guest guitarist for Roger Waters `Amused To Death' album which, for me, is an absolute work of art...so for that alone, cheers Jeff! A true guitar legend.

    RIP
