What is astonishing about this guitarist is its right hand. He often plays with a pick on his thumb and uses his fingers to modify the volume or the tone of the sound while he plays. This constant control over the intensity and the colour of his sound allows him to achieve wonderful modulations.
Just check his beautiful cover of Cause we ended as lovers to experience it.
What I especially like about Jeff Beck is its slighlty rough way to play, he does not aim at perfection but tries to highlight the musical intensity.
He is a very original musician. He did few different (irregular) albums surrounded with great musicians, or playing with a particular band, but always seemed to prefer his independence. He looks a bit like a lonely modern blues player.
