Jeff Beck: The Fusion Years

Jas Obrecht has a really great blog... the king interviewer of guitar player magazine... in the era when it really mattered... well he's making waves in the guitar blogosphere... join him:

For blues-rock guitar playing during the late 1960s, England’s “big three” were Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck. All three had come to prominence with the Yardbirds, with Beck making his first indelible imprint on pop music with the sitar-like hook of “Heart Full of Soul.” Clapton, who preceded him in the band, went on to play in Cream and have a stellar career as a solo artist. Page used his blues-rock savvy, sonic inventiveness, and uncanny sense of the riff to fuel Led Zeppelin. While Clapton and Page found wealth and fame staying true to their blues-rock roots, Beck has continually pushed boundaries, recording everything from bluesy rock and psychedelia to fusion, rockabilly, metal, pop, techno, and electronica. http://jasobrecht.com/jeff-beck-fusion-years/
