Bought for my 50yr old son's birthdayJeff Beck is his guitar hero

Super bio of the 1 and only Jeff Beck , from starting as a teenager to his final days 🙏🎼🇬🇧

If you play guitar and love Jeff Beck you have to get this book.

I have been a fan of Jeff Beck for many, many, many years and over that time I have wanted to read more about the man's life and thoughts. So... I picked up magazines carrying interviews with Jeff Beck when I could. You could say I am a diehard fan, so a big book about this amazing guitarist was a must-buy. However, I have found it very disappointing, which surprises me, as the writer is clearly very capable and has done his research. The writer seems to want to showoff, to showoff his knowledge of technical terms relating to guitar techniques, and to showoff his ability to critique Jeff's albums. Also he has this annoying habit of inserting square brackets amongst the quotations, presumeably in an effort to help the reader to better understand what people quoted really meant. Each time this occurs I re-read the passage only to find the quote was just fine without the square brackets and the inserted words.I shelled out quite a lot of money for my copy of this book and certainly didn't expect to be bored out of my scull reading it! There are a couple of other books about Jeff Beck and both of them seem more interesting to read. One of them, Crazy Fingers, is by Annette Carson, does anyone know if she is Jeff Beck's sister?

I thought I knew most of what there was to know about Jeff Beck. I was wrong. This is a well-researched book and the author clearly understands the genius known as "Jeff". Some irritating grammatical errors but an absolute must for anyone remotely interested in the only guitarist to constantly look for pastures new and not to plough the same old field (yes, I'm looking at you Eric).

The book is very well written. Very well presented with photos and recently updated.

I was always a fan of Jeff Beck and his life story and career make for an interesting read.

Mycket underhållande och välskriven bok om Jeff Becks händelserika liv. Rekommenderas till alla som har någon relation till Jeff och den här tiden i musiken!

Jeff Beck -einfach der Größte

Bravo, an exellent book.

From this biography I learned all about Jeff's personality, life and his human kindness. So sad we lost Jeff so tragically recently.
