RIP - Legendary rock guitarist Jeff Beck dies aged 78

Very nice touch Jamie.
I just saved it as a new playlist I called Becks Bolero as that’s one of his first pieces of work I can remember listening to many years ago.

Thank you @AceRimmer! Truth be told, it was an emotional endeavor to assemble the playlist. I’ve always rated Jeff highly and appreciated his fearlessness musically.

Even if I didn’t always gel with his output stylistically, there’s no arguing that he was a guitar visionary. He was one of the very few pre-Hendrix electric guitarists that blazed a trail all their own and continued to do so after Jimi rewrote the map.

I wanted Beck Deluxe to be all-encompassing and include a wealth of his uncredited guest appearances. So, creating a local copy of Beck Deluxe may be more to some folks’ liking. Upon doing that, it’s easy to remove guest appearances or sonic forays that may not hold interest after a few spins.

Godspeed and Hi-Ho Silver Lining, Mr. Beck!
