Some of them hit harder than others. In my mind he was in the same category as Chet Atkins and Glen Campbell.

He passed Tuesday at 78 from bacterial meningitis.

Very sad. He is another great who carved his own style and was influential to many.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Yes, he belongs in that category of outstanding innovative guitarist.

RIP Jeff

RIP, I liked the later stuff that came around in my generation. I didn't know much on his early stuff. One of my favorites:

Listen to that version back to back with the Curtis Mayfield original. Great songs are just great songs.

Find a copy of Blow By Blow. Required listening.

His “A Day In The Life” is our favorite by far. Simply stunning.

I wish this day had not been in his life.

Yeah I just posted that on the YouTube forum here.

Might as well do it here too. Stunning. Unparalleled. He is my all time fav for sure.

I saw him live with Stevie Ray once at Madison Square Garden and it was mind-boggling. Stevie Ray was cool and all, but sharing the bill with Jeff Beck?? I was like, dude, what were you thinking??????

IMO he was the all-time most technically proficient rock guitarist.

He could do things with the Strat that made my jaw drop. In my life, as a sax player, I've had the pleasure to play with and/or jam with some great guitarists, so my jaw doesn't drop easily.

I might get out the "Live At Ronnie Scott's" video again and watch the master uses the whammy bar to play different notes, in tune, or the slide above the fretboard for the same effect, or all he did with his little finger on the volume knob for expression, or a combination of the above.

78 is too young to go, but I'm glad he was here.

RIP Jeff.

Jeff was one of my all time favorite guitarists. So much tone and taste in every lick. I've been listening to him a lot in the past few months.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
