Jeff Beck Quotes

I don’t care about the rules, if I don’t break the rules at least 10x every song then I’m not doing my job Picture Quote #1

At the end of the day, there are a hell of a lot of notes being played out there and I defy the average middle-American or the average punter to differentiate between them Picture Quote #1

Things turn out better by accident sometimes. But you can’t organize accidents Picture Quote #1

My personal favourite is Jeff Beck. All the others are wonderful as well Picture Quote #1

When we toured... I was hungry to take out people like Jeff Beck in front of us; fleetwood Mac, just before they hit; heart, just before they hit Picture Quote #1

Ever since I was a child I’ve always been very attracted to melodies. Whether I hear Jeff Beck, a choir, an ocean or the wind, there’s always a melody in there Picture Quote #1

The great British blues guitarists of the Sixties - people like Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and Peter Green - could play like virtuosos, but they also understood the importance of energy and intensity Picture Quote #1

Jeff Beck is compelled by his inner artistic drive to keep evolving the instrument. He’ll use the whammy bar with the volume knob and the tone control all at the same time - creating harmonics that no human being should be able to hit Picture Quote #1

That old funny-shaped bit of wood is still staring me in the face every day saying ‘come on, you haven’t started yet!’ It’s infinite Picture Quote #1

I do hear snippets on the radio. I do hear a little bit of me, sometimes great chunks of me. But I have to take that as a compliment; there’s no way you can get sour grapes about that. But if somebody starts taking your whole new thing lock, stock, and barrel, and do their own version of it before you do it, that’s not on Picture Quote #1

I never really felt at home with that - the headbands, the roses, the feet, the peace sign, all that bollocks. That wasn’t me at all; I felt like a fish totally out of water during the mid- 60s thing Picture Quote #1

At the end of the day, there are a hell of a lot of notes being played out there and I defy the average middle-American or the average punter to differentiate between them Picture Quote #1

A lot of solos I hear sound so incredible, but they sound like somebody practicing. They sound a bit soulless - fiery, but at the same time, lacking in spirit and soul Picture Quote #1

I’m a very emotional person. If I’ve got something on my mind, that would stop me from giving my best Picture Quote #1

I would have loved to have been two people, but I was determined not to devote my entire life to my career Picture Quote #1

I decided early on that I wanted to be Michael Bloomfield, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton - not George Harrison Picture Quote #1

When I got out of high school, I was in a blues band. It was the kind of music I was interested in, and listening to, mostly because it was becoming a vehicle for a generation of guitarists - like Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton. Mike Bloomfield. And that’s what I wanted to be, principally: a guitar player Picture Quote #1

I like an element of chaos in music. That feeling is the best thing ever, as long as you don’t have too much of it Picture Quote #1

... Jeff Beck is my idol .. sometimes he finds notes that I just do not have on my guitar. Frank Zappa’s another one .. I loved Frank Zappa ... I do think Van Halen reinvented the guitar ... he’s an excellent musician, a shrewd guitarist and as a person he’s wonderful Picture Quote #1

As long as there’s something original going on, that’s all that matters Picture Quote #1

I try to become a singer. The guitar has always been abused with distortion units and funny sorts of effects, but when you don’t do that and just let the genuine sound come through, there’s a whole magic there Picture Quote #1

... by far the most astonishing guitar player ever has got to be Django Reinhardt ... Django was quite superhuman, There’s nothing normal about him as a person or a player Picture Quote #1

I don’t understand why some people will only accept a guitar if it has an instantly recognizable guitar sound. Finding ways to use the same guitar people have been using for 50 years to make sounds that no one has heard before is truly what gets me off Picture Quote #1

I’ve never stuck around long enough to know if anyone would miss me. That’s rock ‘n’ roll, though. Here today, gone tomorrow Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be in Rolling Stone number two with a tomorrow feel to it, like an experimental Rolling Stones with Jagger singing Picture Quote #1

I would have loved to have been two people, but I was determined not to devote my entire life to my career Picture Quote #1

I’ve never stuck around long enough to know if anyone would miss me. That’s rock ‘n’ roll, though. Here today, gone tomorrow Picture Quote #1

If you can make it sound exciting with a joke drum machine, you know you’ve got something Picture Quote #1

I’ve tried to become a singer with the guitar and not let any technological licks run my life. Just write the licks and play them as best as I can as a part rather than ad libbing Picture Quote #1

I’m happy in English studios. I just feel like there’s no pressure anywhere Picture Quote #1
