Eight-time Grammy award-winning guitar legend JeffBeck is a giant among mere mortals. Born in 1944 in Surrey, England, Beck was first inspired to pick up the electric guitar after hearing Les Paul play How High The Moon on the radio. After that, a hunger for guitar music grew and he was quickly turned onto the likes of BB King, CliffGallup and Steve Cropper.
Fast forward to the early 60s and Beck started playing and recording in a multitude of bands and hanging out with other now-legendary musicians like Jimmy Page and Ian Stewart (Rolling Stones’ pianist), recording in bands and doing studio sessions.
