Does he call it Oxblood? :hmm
Nobody plays guitar like Jeff Beck. NOBODY. He could play a broomstick and a rubber band and still get great tone from his hands while blowing minds. Regardless of the guitar he chooses, he still sounds like Jeff Beck from the first note. :dude:
BTW, that oxblood Les Paul was known as "chocolate" back then.

Very interesting video! Thanks for posting. Anybody recognize the little Ampeg amp? Model?
The only two Ampegs that I can think of that were that layout would be the VT-40 (tube and four 10s) and the GT-10 (solid state and one 10).Very interesting video! Thanks for posting. Anybody recognize the little Ampeg amp? Model?

It's definitely a VT40. It's displayed prominently in another section of the show which you can watch here:

go to about 3:19 or so.
I've come to Jeff Becks music late in life and regret not doing so 25 yrs ago, when the fusion of guitar styles was one of the most dynamic and creative growth areas of progressive guitar music.
I've an opinion on Becks playing I want to put out there for your consideration and creative criticism.
I find that when Jeff is constrained to a guitar without a vibrato/trem, he is forced to reach deeper within himself to draw creative solutions to the melodic and harmonic challenges before him. This often results in his increased utilisation of the entire tonal and dynamic range of the guitar, frequently discovering new tones and sounds in the absence of a tremolo.
For this reason I love and value his Les Paul and Tele virtuosity above all else..
I m hoping this gets us all talking all things Beck..
Blow by Blow is not that great of a record... sometimes I think you guys just jump on the bandwagon.
This record is just 42 times better than BBB.

Of course this is just my cool opinion.
