Geoffrey Arnold Beck (born 24 June 1944) is an English rock guitarist. He is one of the
three noted guitarists to have played with the Yardbirds (the other two being Eric
Clapton and Jimmy Page). Beck also formed the Jeff Beck Group and with Tim
Bogert and Carmine Appice, he formed Beck, Bogert & Appice.
Much of Beck's recorded output has been instrumental, with a focus on innovative sound,
and his releases have spanned genres ranging from blues rock, hard rock, and an
additional blend of guitar-rock and electronica. Although he recorded two hit albums (in
1975 and 1976) as a solo act, Beck has not established or maintained the sustained
commercial success of many of his contemporaries and bandmates.[1][2] Beck appears on
albums by Rod Stewart, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, Morrissey, Donovan, Diana Ross, Jon
Bon Jovi, Malcolm McLaren, Kate Bush, Roger Waters, Stevie Wonder, Les
Paul, Zucchero, Cyndi Lauper, Brian May, Roger Taylor, Stanley Clarke, Screaming Lord
Sutch, ZZ Top, and Toots and the Maytals.[3][4]
He was ranked fifth in Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" and
the magazine, upon whose cover Beck has appeared three times, has described him as
"one of the most influential lead guitarists in rock".[5] He is often called a "guitarist's
guitarist".[1] Beck has earned wide critical praise and received the Grammy Award for Best
Rock Instrumental Performance six times and Best Pop Instrumental Performance once. In
2014 he received the British Academy's Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to
British Music.[6] Beck has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice: as a
member of The Yardbirds (1992) and as a solo artist (2009).

Early life[edit]
I was interested in the electric guitar even before I knew the difference between electric and acoustic. The
electric guitar seemed to be a totally fascinating plank of wood with knobs and switches on it. I just had to
have one.
—Beck[7]
Geoffrey Arnold Beck was born on 24 June 1944 to Arnold and Ethel Beck at 206 Demesne
Road, Wallington, England.[8] As a 10-year-old, Beck sang in a church choir.[9] He
attended Sutton Manor School[10] and Sutton East County Secondary Modern School.[8]
Beck has cited Les Paul as the first electric guitar player who impressed him.[7] Beck has
said that he first heard an electric guitar when he was 6 years old and heard Paul playing
"How High the Moon" on the radio. He asked his mother what it was. After she replied it
was an electric guitar and was all tricks, he said, "That's for me".[11] Cliff Gallup, lead
guitarist with Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps, was also an early musical influence,
followed by B.B. King and Steve Cropper.[12]
As a teenager he learned to play on a borrowed guitar and made several attempts to build
his own instrument, first by gluing and bolting together cigar boxes[13][14][9] for the body and
an unsanded fence-post for the neck with model aircraft control-lines and frets simply
painted on.[15] When fabricating a neck for his next try he attempted to use measurements
for a bass guitar.[citation needed]
Upon leaving school, he attended Wimbledon College of Art, after which he was briefly
employed as a painter and decorator, a groundsman on a golf course and a car paint-
sprayer. Beck's sister Annetta introduced him to Jimmy Page when both were teenagers.[16]

Membros do Guns N 'Roses introduzidos no Hall da Fama do Rock and Roll. Linha superior: Axl
Rose, Duff McKagan, Dizzy Reed. Fileira inferior: Slash, Matt Sorum, Steven Adler, Izzy Stradlin.
Em 27 de setembro de 2011, a banda foi indicado como finalista para ser incluída no Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame. Os cinco homenageados seriam anunciados no fim de 2011.[29] A
banda se apresentou no Rock in Rio IV no dia 2 de Outubro.
Após ser indicada para o Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, foi especulada uma possível reunião
do grupo. Duff McKagan disse, à Associated Press: "Claro que há uma chance. Eu não sei
o quão real é essa chance." Slash também falou sobre a reunião à Billboard: "Claro que há
especulações sobre como será caso sejamos premiados, mas, no caso do Guns N' Roses,
realmente não há como adivinhar o que pode acontecer. Eu suponho que, se acontecer,
todos irão tentar se entender de alguma forma. Mas acho que o primeiro a se fazer é
esperar e ver se seremos incluídos no 'Hall', já que sabemos o quão imprevisível isso pode
ser".[30]
Axl deu a entender que talvez exista a possibilidade de um reencontro com Slash. "Eu não
sei o que isto significa em relação a mim e a velha banda - eu não sei - tudo ainda está
indefinido. É uma honra estar na indicação e eu sei que existe definitivamente uma parcela
dos fãs que realmente gostarão disto".[31]
No dia 7 de dezembro de 2011, foi confirmada a introdução da banda no Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame, com a cerimônia marcada para o dia 14 de abril de 2012. Enquanto o
guitarrista Slash simplesmente postou em seu twitter: "É uma honra", e o baixista Duff
McKagan apenas re-twittou o anúncio original, os ex-bateristas do Guns, Steven Adler e
Matt Sorum, opinaram sobre uma reunião na cerimônia do Hall of Fame. "Significaria muito
para mim", Steven Adler disse à revista Rolling Stone sobre a possibilidade de Axl Rose
aparecer para uma performance com a formação original. "Eu, pessoalmente, quero
terminar o que comecei. Se nós começamos isso, vamos encerrar a carreira tocando
juntos, pelo menos uma vez".[32]
Em 20 de janeiro de 2012, Bumblefoot falou sobre uma possível turnê a decorrer em
Fevereiro. Não se sabe por enquanto se viajará em apoio de um novo álbum. Guns N'
Roses anunciou shows nos Estados Unidos e Europa.[33]
Em entrevista à revista Metal Hammer, Dizzy Reed reforçou a hipótese da formação
original da banda reunida no Hall of Fame:[34]
“
Eu sei que toda a banda original vai estar lá. Eu não sei exatamente o que vai
