Everyone at Guitar Techniques was greatly saddened to learn of the death of Jeff Beck earlier this year, at the age of 78. The music community was hit hard and the tributes came in thick and fast. Jeff was a truly special and significant guitarist, with a unique and constantly evolving sound and a true artistic sense of exploration and rediscovery that spanned his entire career. This started way back in the 1960s with The Tridents and The Yardbirds, right up to the present day, with two collaborative projects released in 2022 with Johnny Depp and Ozzy Osbourne.
