Influyente guitarrista fue recordado por la comunidad musical

Miércoles, 11 de Enero de 2023

A los 78 años ha muerto Jeff Beck.

La partida del influyente guitarrista fue informada por sus cercanos. "Tras contraer repentinamente una meningitis bacteriana, falleció ayer en paz. Su familia pide privacidad mientras procesan esta tremenda pérdida", dice parte del mensaje.

Nacido en la localidad de Wallington (Surrey), en Inglaterra, en 1944, Beck fraguó su carrera desde los años 60, participando en discos de The Yardbirds -"For Your Love" (1965), "Having a Rave Up with The Yardbirds" (1965), "Roger the Engineer" (1966)-, formando el colectivo Beck, Bogert & Appice, armando también una carrera solista cuyo último trabajo fue "Loud Hailer" (2016), aunque el 2022 lanzó una obra en conjunto con Johnny Depp, "18".

Mick Jagger, Buddy Guy, Donovan, Stevie Wonder, Kate Bush, Rod Stewart y Ozzy Osbourne, entre otros, trabajaron con Beck a lo largo de su carrera. Su fallecimiento fue lamentado por varios miembros de la comunidad musical. "El Guerrero de las seis cuerdas ya no está aquí para que admiremos el hechizo que podía tejer en torno a nuestras emociones mortales", comentó Jimmy Page.

His technique unique. His imaginations apparently limitless. Jeff I will miss you along with your millions of fans. Jeff Beck Rest in Peace.https://t.co/4h1DfXXmWI

Jeff Beck was the Salvador Dali of guitar, to see him play was to hear the ultimate 6 string alchemist create magic in a world of its own. With his passing, the world is a poorer place. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Sandra. We share your sorrow.

I met Jeff Beck when I was 17 and I was glad to know a guy like that, a guy who was able to show me how this guitar playing thing should be approached and that?s still very much the case. Jeff was a wondrous soul and we already miss him tremendously.

Jeff Beck was a genius, a stunning original. He was an astounding guitar player with more ways to make you go, ?WTF was that?? than anybody else. He was profoundly talented, and never stopped innovating on the instrument. R.I.P. Jeff.. https://t.co/stKn1RPWIN pic.twitter.com/59INhJ0LzK

It is a sad day that we have again lost another great guitarist.Jeff Beck was one of the few guitarist in the world that played with his fingers instead of a pick on his right hand. He was brilliant and I have loved him since his days in the Yardbirds. He will be greatly missed. pic.twitter.com/H3km6pnVKw

RIP Jeff Beck. Having trouble processing this. Not only was he a major influence, and his genius an infinite source of joy my entire lifetime, he was in great spirits when we spoke a few weeks ago having done a flawless show with Johnny the night before at the Capitol.
