Precisely.

Guitar Shop is one of Jeff's very best, IMO. In lieu of a bassist, keyboardist Tony Hymas (he played on tracks 4-8 of There and Back) joined our esteemed guitarist and drum wiz Terry Bozzio to record an album that deftly straddled the lines of rock and fusion. Jeff was highly complementary of Tony's playing. Terry was, well, Terry! At forty minutes, it feels short because there are no throwaway tracks. You want it to keep going...

He will be missed. Master of articulation, always willing to push the boundaries. 

RIP good man.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

^ Paul, one thing we can always count on is your inability to properly rate albums. Blow by Blow and Wired only 3 star albums? LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOL
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

I'm more often criticised for overrating albums. Tongue

It's a good thing you didn't see my ratings for Allan Holdsworth. Tongue

If one has been on these forums long enough, one should have general sense of Paul's preferences in music. You can't say anything is properly or improperly rated. It's all subjective.

Nonetheless, Paul is wrong.

My favorite Jeff Beck album is Beck-Ola.
And, Rice Pudding is one of my favorite rock instrumentals ever (by anyone).

Rest in Peace, Mr. Beck. You were one of the best.

I saw Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton both live. Neither stole the show as their other musicians did. But I was far more a bigger Jeff Beck fan, never got to see him live, and don’t even listen to any Page or Clapton anymore.

Jeff Becks Fusion albums are what really interests me. I had the Yardbirds album Roger the Engineer and the first Jeff Beck solo album. That was enough to make me a fan. But Blow by Blow and Wired are where I put Jeff Beck on the list of greats.

A great Blues guitarist but the Jazz Fusion albums are what excite me. I’ve had a quite a few Jazz Fusion albums from the 70’s. Jeff’s albums are every bit as much favorites of mine as what I have from Miles Davis, Weather Report, Return to Forever, Luc Jean Ponty, Al Di Meola, Allen Holdsworth, Bruford, Brand X, Billy Cobham, Steely Dan, etc. Compelling and a surge of energy in a way that you would hope from Jeff Beck. I like his selection of musicians also. The Stevie Wonder gig was epic and memorable.
