Blow by blow

Description

Voilà, this is Jeff Beck. The English soloist with a searching head, the man who has more talent than he will ever be able to use. Jeff Beck is a guitarist who, from the Yardbirds (1965-66), invents all the tics of the 20th-century guitar hero. Freshly arrived in London, Hendrix would never dare to measure himself against this shadowy street urchin who has been playing guitar since the age of eleven and whose lightning attacks are simply divine. We are told from high places that the album "Blow By Blow" would be his masterpiece, a melodic mix of rock, jazz, and blues that remains his biggest success to date. To be honest, Beck is like Hendrix: if you don't have it all, you're nothing.
