Beck was considered one of the most influential guitarists in history. In the summer he released an album with Hollywood star Johnny Depp and then went on tour.
Beck played with various bands in and around London until 1965 when Jimmy Page recommended him to the Yardbirds as Eric Clapton’s successor. There he made a name for himself as a musical perfectionist, shaping the unmistakable riffs of their most famous hits “Over Under Sideways Down” and “Shapes of Things”.
He later formed the Jeff Beck Group and played with Rod Stewart. He has also worked in many different formations with Mick Jagger, Roger Waters, Brian May, Paul Rodgers and Stevie Wonder, as well as Tina Turner on her “Private Dancer” album. (sda/dpa)
