I was fortunate to see Jeff Beck play live once with Jan Hammer, the keyboard player.  His tone is unmatchable by players, his technique unique because he plays fingerstyle, but it doesn’t sound like it.  His control of elecronics is so far ahead of most other players. 

The Jeff Beck Youtube video is called Nadia.  When I first heard it, my thoughts were that he had bridged the gap between Indian music and rock, and I don’t mean Bollyrock. I mean the deep transcendal side of Indian music that digs deep into the soul of each us.

And yes, as a guitar player, I am humbled when I hear this tune.
