Jeff Beck passes

[Tubetec]

News just coming through of the death of Jeff Beck , bacterial menigitis .

 

[capacitor]

A close family member passed from bacterial meningitis when I was a kid. It was very much unexpected and swift.

JB was a huge musical influence to me personally (and of course legions of musicians much better than I). Very sorry to hear. I hope he didn't suffer.

Edit: it doesn't sound like he did.

It was always inspiring to me to see how he, unlike many of his coevals, kept his chops as he aged. RIP.

I love this. Tommy Emmanuel says he never really learned the song, and then plays the most emotional version I've ever heard.
