1974: JEFF BECK's Guitar Setup | Five Faces of the Guitar | Classic BBC Music | BBC Archive

Spinal Tap 😂

The treble, bridge humbucker which he' s referring to as "very powerful" i think is the Seymours Duncan JB model

Why do I feel like Jeff wanted to punch the guy?

I love innocence of the questions. He really doesn't know.

I love how the host is obviously really knowledgeable about the equipment and guitar but is playing dumb so he can bring the audience along.

"On the floor, you have a vast selection of switches and gear..." Camera pans to three lonely pedals. That's barely a starter kit these days.

Did I just hear Jeff Beck sing the phone book?!

I believe the mystery guitarist who gifted the bag was Joe Walsh. After a tour, he was losing teeth with the oral vibrations at high volumes.
This is based on an old radio interview with Joe in the early seventies, picked up on a phased crackling signal mono radio.
Ahh....simpler times.

The ones used by PACO."....enough said

was he ever skinny.

I've watched and listened to many Jeff Beck interviews over the years, and what strikes me is that he used a lot of old world turns of phrase. It always seemed like he was a geezer chatting in some London boozer, not so much in this interview though. He was lyrical in his speech but in a carefree, natural way. His speech was peppered with humour. Little things in this interview: he says "cakehole" instead of mouth and "I don't scream about it" instead of "shout". His guitar playing was just this way of speaking and his personality channelled through the guitar without filters or any mind fog or hesitation. Like Bonamassa said about Beck, "there's a conduit between him and the guitar." Also something that is seldom ever discussed about Jeff's playing is the humour in it. It's littered with comedy.

Spinal Tap !

But the real deal of genius

The greatest guitarist of all time alongside Hendrix, neither was better than the other and Jeff knew it, they were just very different. Boy it was a big shock when you passed.

Why did I see JB playing a righthand Strat with a lefthand neck.

TIM BOGERT:"Don't spit in the tube, Jeff!!!"

I love the part where the interviewer hands Beck a bag and asks....what do you call this? Beck says "A bag"

I had a pair of those platform shoes back in 1974 - oh my gosh, has it really been that long? Hahaha

and the drummer is almost nodding off .. or thinking ... " hm , Shall I get a perm "?

" On the floor we have a vast selection of pedals and gear ..." LOL " How important is the shape and size ?" ...... priceless LOL

Really ... there is huge respect and true questions in this clip, not like this flat show runner pretending talks I often see today

Now we know where Nigel Tufnel came from 😂

This is a genius....borned genius.

Notice Jeff's home made strap lock! Made from a fender washer screwed in where the strap button would have been!! Showing off his mechanic skills years before guitar strap locks were developed commercially

Jeff went to 11. Undoubtedly.

What a master class in such a young age...
Your legacy goes on forever , Jeff. Rest in power.

Is he plugged into a Champ ?

This guitar had JB pickups in it ac

Jeff Beck could play 150 dollar squire telecaster and still sound like Jeff Beck playing a priceless classic fender

🎂🌹✋

The sustainnnn 😆

The Secret Bag!!

Nigel Tufnel Lol!!
Beck will never be matched..

He was way over rated. Check out his awful performance on Private Dancer by Tina Turner and Rod Stewart’s Infactuation.

Wow🎸<[]>Pretty Slick Jeff👍🏾🦄Hiding the Voice Box in a leather pouch. The cutting edge of technology in 1974✌🤠☮

Phew, those were beginner's questions.

bro that bracelet is crazy

I'm different. I liked Beck when he attacked the guitar like a hevimetal player. I didn't care for making a guitar sound like an organ. Just have organ play it

The GREAT Jeff Beck....back in the day....

Vast selection of switches haha 3 pedals 👍

This is SO Spinal Tap!!! And Jeff is SO Nigel Tufnell (surely the inspiration!)

I’d call the presenting “style” amateurish. No personality and no interpersonal skills.

That bag was interesting, it was the first talk box like sounds

Rest in Peace, Jeff Beck..

Nigel Tuffnel

I was almost expecting Jeff to say, "These go to 11"

Wow he had a talk bag instead of a talk box!

Jeff Beck. Rest in peace, brother. One of the very best ever.

Love him
