“代表他的家人，我们分享了杰夫·贝克（Jeff Beck）去世的消息，这是深深而深刻的悲伤。在突然感染细菌性脑膜炎之后，他昨天和平地去世了。”他的代表在一份声明中说。“他的家人在处理这一巨大损失时要求隐私。”

Born in the London borough of Sutton in 1944, Jeff Beck was – like his peers Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood – heavily influenced by American rock ‘n’ roll and blues of the 1950s, as well as the boundary-pushing virtuosity of Les Paul.

贝克开始在十几岁的时候学习吉他，并在此期间与吉米·佩奇（Jimmy Page）结识 - 两人将成为快速的朋友和后来的乐队成员。

贝克在就读艺术学院时在伦敦周围的乐队演出，但在1963年，滚石乐队的伊恩·斯图尔特（Ian Stewart）会向他介绍节奏和布鲁斯的声音 - 贝克永远不会一样。

He began playing in R&B bands around London until in 1965 he was recruited to succeed Eric Clapton in the influential blues-rock band the Yardbirds on the recommendation of Page (who had been asked to join but didn’t want to give up his lucrative session career).

贝克只会在院子里玩20个月，但在那个时候，乐队录制了他们大多数热门歌曲，包括充满灵魂的心和邪恶的人热衷于你。

Beck’s fuzzed up Indian-influenced guitar tone in the former would bring South Asian musical influences to the UK charts for the first time while his hard-driving blues would pave the way for much of the hard-rock and heavy music that would come in later decades.

贝克的完美主义和激烈的气质将使他在1966年底被码头鸟解雇，但很快就会启动长期的独奏职业，其中包括各种乐队，项目以及探索新风格和流派的焦躁不安的欲望。

贝克于1967年与罗德·斯图尔特（Rod Stewart）和罗尼·伍德（Ronnie Wood）组成了杰夫·贝克（Jeff Beck）集团，当该小组解散时，他继续创作音乐，以独奏艺术家或非正式合作者。尽管被要求加入平克·弗洛伊德（Pink Floyd）和滚石乐队（The Rolling Stones），但贝克仍然满足于耕种自己的道路并遵循自己的缪斯女神。

60年代成为70年代，这个缪斯（Muse）看到他从蓝调和岩石领域内部融合了更多的影响力，使他成为将成为爵士融合吉他运动的开拓者之一。

这个顶峰是吹气- 贝克的第二张完全个人专辑在排行榜中排名第4，并于1975年获得白金，并以奇妙的，情感的封装对所有使贝克成为一位伟大的吉他演奏者之一 - Stevie Wonder-Penned的一切因为我们以恋人的身份结束了。

It was in this period that Beck started to earn the common monicker “the guitarist’s guitarist” – the implication being that despite his star not shining as brightly as his peers Clapton and Page, those in the know held him in the highest regard as a musician who pushed the guitar forward both technically and creatively.

贝克的音乐音乐和巧妙的使用他的Stratocaster的颤音一直是数十年的基准，而自80年代以来，他放弃了选秀权，就挑战了关于在Rock中的Fingnertyle扮演的先入见解。

无论是拥抱舞蹈音乐，爵士还是乐器摇滚，贝克一直在努力寻找通过吉他表达自己的新方法 - 乐器很可能永远不会像他这样看到他人。
