Living Colour's Vernon Reid posted a beautiful remembrance of Jeff Beck last month.
Quote:
“There are a couple of different versions of ‘Where Were You’ — there’s the recorded version, which is astonishing, but there’s a live version from ‘Live at Ronnie Scott’s,’ and he’s playing it in real time and it’s jaw-dropping. He’s able to get a kind of Beltone harmonic and play one note, and then use the whammy bar to play the rest of the melody only by manipulating the tremolo arm. I can’t explain how incredibly difficult that is, to play a note, have it sustain, and then, without fretting, to do it with just the twang bar. It’s an astonishing level of technique, but it’s a very delicate and very nuanced technique. He staggered the rest of us, because we would be like, ‘Holy sh*t. How? Huh?’
All of our good ones are going on. Little by little. One by one.
Sucks. But it was a great ride while they were here........
