English guitarist (1944–2023)
English guitarist who made the Yardbirds matter, then spent decades pivoting between blues rock, jazz fusion, and experimental electronica. Beck's restless sonic palette kept him visible across genres most musicians wouldn't dare touch.
Geoffrey Arnold Beck was an English guitarist. He rose to prominence as a member of the rock band the Yardbirds, and afterwards founded and fronted the Jeff Beck Group and Beck, Bogert & Appice. In 1975, he switched to an instrumental style with focus on an innovative sound, and his releases spanned genres and styles ranging from blues rock, hard rock, jazz fusion and a blend of guitar-rock and electronica.
