March 2023 Guitar Newsletter: Jeff Beck: Pioneer Of The Rock Guitar Instrumentalist

This year, on January 10th, Jeff Beck passed away at the age of 78.  The legacy of this English musician is enormous.  He solidified the option for guitarists to have solo careers and focus primarily on their guitar playing skills and own compositions.  He is an amazing illustration of how an artist can continually evolve and embrace many different genres yet stay close to his roots.  He also embodied an innovative spirit that saw far greater possibilities of what the electric guitar had to offer sonically.  I would like to encourage guitar lovers to become well acquainted with his tremendous creative output.
