I've seen comments about Cause We Ended As Lovers and Blow By Blow as their favorite. That album and Wired were my introduction to Jeff Beck. It was when I was stationed in the UK in 76-78. I think Blow By Blow was one of my first 3 CDs, or Wired... Then to hear the other stuff he did on RP.

I've seen and shared many tribute posts on FB. This YT link is from a friend of ours.

RIP Jeff Beck.

Agreed - I just had to login to RP  after listening to Cause We've Ended as Lovers, twice. 

Throughout their respective careers, most great rock musicians have their ups and downs from booze, drugs, christmas albums...
but Beck was a class act all the way through, and never lost his impeccable touch.
Godspeed Jeff

Cause We've Ended as Lovers is probably my favorite piece of music, not just instrumental/guitar tune. Such emotion elicited from 6 strings. He was a Maestro and will be missed.

Yes, legendary - one of my favorites.
Too bad that article has a glowing error: 
After playing in a number of local bands, Beck was hired by John Mayall's Bluesbreakers to replace Eric Clapton in 1965. He played guitar on their Roger The Engineer album the following year,
Um, Clapton left to join Mayall, Beck joined The Yardbirds to replace Clapton.

Such a great artist.

R.I.P. my favorite guitar player !

Wow, we were listening to hallelujah on RP as the sun set and I was thinking how great that was. Then I got a text from a friend with this news. Cheers to the man, and via con Dios.

Death is inevitable, but damn if there aren't certain ones where one's musical memories are impacted a little harder.

Almost every Bowie song I hear I immediately think of two things followed shortly by a third: Great song, What a Talent... he's dead now.
