22 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time
15. Jeff Beck
Beck's style is all about swagger and personality and insisting that you're listening to Jeff Beck, which is entirely as it should be.
He combines melody with punchy, in your face spirit that drips with his charm and even humour at times: his guitar is not just an extension of him but an instrument in the purest sense - like his second voice manifested. He is soulful, deft and precise, and he's unlikely to be copied.
Key Track: "Heart Full of Soul"
