I saw Jeff Beck on Palladium in HD last night and it was a kick ass show....definantly a classy guy. Its pretty obvious Satch's playing borrowed heavily and was influenced by Beck, except Jeff is Tastier in My opinion. :icon_thumright:

Condemning us for not thinking twice about our favorite guitar player's skin color ? Please, keep your racism out of music!

Demographics is not racism, keep your projecting out of my post.

He crossed over to Christian music for a while.  He's a producer now.
