This \n\u003ci\u003e Blow By Blow\u003c\/i\u003e composition by authors Brad Tolinski and Chris Gill skillfully and artfully captures the story of one of the truly great heroes of the guitar: Jeff Beck. \n\u003cbr\u003e Jeff, in a very real way, stands as a gifted artist and innovator who refined his technical skills to a super-detailed, personal point. The same is true of this great book. It's full of deep insights and takes one into Jeff Beck's life, mind, and singular artistic brilliance. There will not soon be another Jeff Beck. \n\u003cbr\u003e Beck's story is the stuff of legends and is told masterfully in this high-volume volume.\"-- \n\u003cb\u003eBilly Gibbons\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFrom the house authors of the critically acclaimed oral history on Eddie Van Halen, \u003ci\u003eEruption\u003c\/i\u003e, a revealing narrative biography of legendary British guitarist Jeff Beck featuring brand new interviews with the icon himself as well as his famous colleagues, collaborators, and loved ones\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With his shag haircut and white Stratocaster guitar, Jeff Beck was an icon known and loved by millions. Yet somehow, he maintained the ineffable low profile cool of a cult hero as he glided through six decades of musical trends with nary a lapse in taste. Not to say he ever played it safe. What other guitarist can lay claim to performing with opera star Luciano Pavarotti, mainstream television personality Kelly Clarkson, and professional degenerates like Guns N' Roses with equal grace and wit? Or as Beck himself once quipped, \"I'm an awkward son of a bitch when it comes to doing the expected.\" \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \n\u003ci\u003eBlow by Blow: The Jeff Beck Story\u003c\/i\u003e​, Brad Tolinski and Chris Gill return to chart the unexplored life of rock's greatest and perhaps most enigmatic instrumentalist. Culled from approximately 30 hours of interviews with the late guitarist himself, numerous conversations with those closest to him, and extensive research, the book sheds new light on the genius that Jimmy Page once said, \"shifted the whole sound and face of electric guitar music.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/span\u003e 05\/01\/2026 pg. 118 (EAN 9780306836589, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eBooklist\u003c\/span\u003e 05\/01\/2026 (EAN 9780306836589, Hardcover) - *Starred Review\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/span\u003e 06\/01\/2026 (EAN 9780306836589, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Da Capo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51496200732950,"sku":"9780306836589","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/9910\/8886\/files\/9780306836589.jpg?v=1783057402","url":"https:\/\/lusper.myshopify.com\/products\/blow-by-blow-the-jeff-beck-story","provider":"Lusperbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
