EP 453: BLOW BY BLOW: The Jeff Beck Story with Brad Tolinski and Chris Gills

My guests today was the editor-in-chief of Guitar World magazine for over twenty-five years, Brad Tolinksi and  regular contributor to Guitar World Chris Gill. Brad is the co-author of Eruption: Conversations with Eddie Van Halen, Light & Shade: Conversations with Jimmy Page and Play It Loud: An Epic History of the Style, Sound, and Revolution of the Electric Guitar. Chris Gill is also the co-author of Eruption: Conversations with Eddie Van Halen and contributed extensive guitar background and historical text to Eric Clapton’s Six String Stories and Jeff Beck’s Beck 01: Hot Rods and Rock & Roll. They are here today to talk about the new book BLOW BY BLOW; THE JEFF BECK STORY. Brad and Chris have interviewed Jeff Beck multiple times, including historic joint conversations with Jimmy Page and Billy Gibbons. Jeff Beck was widely regarded as one of the most innovative and influential guitarists of all time. Over the course of his 50+ year groundbreaking career, he earned eight Grammy Awards, was named by Rolling Stone as one of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,” and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice — first as a member of the Yardbirds and later as a solo artist. Known for his fearless musicianship and genre-defying style, Beck left an unforgettable mark on rock, blues, jazz, and instrumental music through his collaborations with some of the most celebrated artists in music. #jeffbeck #rockmusic #guitar #guitarist #jazzfusion #bluesmusic #popmusic #ledzepplin #yardbirds #cream #ericclaption #stevierayvaugh #jimmypage #johnnydepp #biography
