Known for his collaborations, Beck's guitar can be heard on numerous iconic recordings, and he continues to inspire aspiring musicians worldwide.

ELECTRONIC ROOTS
Beck started his career by exploring the heavier side of rock before switching gears in 1975 with the groundbreaking instrumental jazz-fusion albums, “Blow By Blow” and “Wired .”
Produced by Sir George Martin, famed producer of The Beatles, the two albums shattered people’s preconceptions of what a rock guitarist was supposed to sound like.
I’m sure that made an impression on me,” recalls Beck. Beck worked as a session player, with Screaming Lord Sutch—the British equivalent to Screaming Jay Hawkins—and the Tridents, before he replaced Eric Clapton as the Yardbirds’ lead guitarist in 1965.

Veering away from hard rock, Beck created two landmark jazz-fusion albums—“Blow By Blow” (1975) and “Wired” (1976).
That’s what I should have done in the first place, but it takes a remix guy to come along and put a different spin on what you’re doing,” he says. He briefly attended Wimbledon’s Art College before leaving to devote all of his time to music. Six years passed before the release of “Who Else!” (1999) but the album opened a relative floodgate of music by Beck standards.
