Jeff Beck, the legendary guitarist who played with the Yardbirds and fronted his own the Jeff Beck Group, has died at the age of 78. After a playing in a succession of bands, Beck replaced Eric Clapton in the Yardbirds in 1965 after being suggested by Page, who himself would join the band shortly thereafter. Beck’s year-and-a-half stint dovetailed with the Yardbirds’ biggest successes, including the hit singles “Heart Full of Soul,” “Evil Hearted You,” “Shapes of Things,” and “Under Over Sideways Down.” Beck was fired due to personal conflicts with the other members of the group, but playing continued to shine on the 1966 instrumental solo single “Beck’s Bolero,” which influenced generations of fledgling guitarists. By January 1967, he’d created the Jeff Beck Group, featuring a murderer’s row of vocalist Rod Stewart, bassist Ronnie Wood, pianist Nicky Hopkins, and drummer Aynsley Dunbar.
