Geoffrey Arnold "Jeff" Beck is an English rock guitarist. He is one of the three noted guitarists to have played with The Yardbirds
(the other two being Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page). Beck also formed The Jeff Beck Group and Beck, Bogert & Appice.
Much of Beck's recorded output has been instrumental, with a focus on innovative sound, and his releases have spanned genres ranging from blues-rock,
heavy metal, jazz fusion and an additional blend of guitar-rock and electronica. Although he recorded two hit albums as a solo act,
Beck has not established or maintained the sustained commercial success of many of his contemporaries and bandmates. Beck appears on albums
by Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, Jon Bon Jovi, Malcom McLaren, Kate Bush, Roger Waters, Donovan, Stevie Wonder, Les Paul, Zucchero, Cyndi Lauper,
Brian May, Stanley Clarke and ZZ Top. He was ranked 5th in Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" and the magazine
has described him as "one of the most influential lead guitarists in rock". Beck began his career in the 1960s. He joined The Rumbles, a Croydon band,
in 1963 for a short period as lead guitarist, playing Gene Vincent and Buddy Holly songs. In March 1965, Beck was recruited by The Yardbirds
to replace Eric Clapton on the recommendation of fellow session man Jimmy Page, who had been their initial choice. The Yardbirds recorded
most of their Top 40 hit songs during Beck's short but significant 20-month tenure with the band. Beck was fired in the middle of a US tour for being a consistent
no-show – as well as difficulties caused by his perfectionism and explosive temper. After leaving the Yardbirds, Beck recorded the one-off
"Beck's Bolero" (with Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Nicky Hopkins and Keith Moon) and two solo hit singles in the UK, "Hi Ho Silver Lining" and
"Tallyman". He then formed The Jeff Beck Group, which briefly featured ex Shadow Jet Harris, on bass, Rod Stewart on vocals, Ronnie Wood on bass,
Nicky Hopkins on piano. Nick Mason recalls in his autobiography, that during 1967 Pink Floyd had wanted to recruit Beck to be their guitarist after the departure
of Syd Barrett but "None of us had the nerve to ask him." In 1969, following the death of Brian Jones, Beck was approached about joining
the Rolling Stones. On 3 July 1973 Beck joined David Bowie on-stage to perform "The Jean Genie"/"Love Me Do" and "Around and Around".
The show was recorded and filmed but none of the released editions included Beck.
