Jeff Beck Geoffrey Arnold ("Jeff") Beck (nacido el 24 de junio de 1944 en Wallington, Gran Londres, Reino Unido) es un guitarrista inglés de rock/blues que ha tocado en varias bandas influyentes en las décadas de los 60s y los 70s. Es uno de los tres notables guitarristas que tocaron en The Yardbirds, siendo Eric Clapton y Jimmy Page los otros dos. Durante 25 años ha mantenido una esporádica carrera en solitario. A pesar de no haber alcanzado nunca la proyección comercial de sus contemporáneos, Beck ha tenido un gran reconocimiento, especialmente en la comunidad de guitarristas. Nunca nadie le ha encasillado en un género, Beck ha experimentado con blues rock, heavy metal y jazz fusion y actualmente ha absorbido influencias del techno, creando una innovadora mezcla de música heavy rock y música electrónica.
Uno de los guitarristas más influyentes y carismáticos en la historia del rock, principalmente por su seminal trabajo con los Yardbirds y su diversidad de procederes estilísticos.
Tras pasar por la Escuela de Arte Wimbledon Art de Londres, comenzó profesionalmente en el mundo de la música con una banda denominada The Tridents. Su gran oportunidad llegaría cuando Eric Clapton abandonó los Yardbirds en 1965 al entender que éstos se alejaban del blues y acogían propuestas sonoras más comerciales
La entrada de Beck en el grupo abrió nuevas perspectivas para la formación inglesa con su imaginativo estilo, convirtiendo a la banda en pioneros del pop-rock psicodélico y espejos del garaje americano con sus innovaciones en la distorsión y el feedback.
También Beck decidiría dejar a los Yardbirds en 1966 para formar un nuevo grupo al que llamó Jeff Beck Group, un conjunto en el cual se hallaban los futuros Faces, Rod Stewart y Ron Wood, junto al teclista Nicky Hopkins y el batería Aynsley Dunbar, quien sería reemplazado por Mickey Waller.
Antes de ello y con Mickey Most como productor, Jeff había grabado un sencillo de pop que había sido muy bien acogido en las listas de ventas británicas, “Hi-Ho Silver Lining”.
Con el Jeff Beck Group, el guitarrista de Surrey adoptó un sonido rocoso y poderoso, basado en el blues-rock. Sus actuaciones en directo eran acogidas con entusiasmo. Junto a ellas, la banda publicó dos esenciales Lps, “Truth” (1968) y “Beck-Ola” (1969), ambos producidos por Mickey Most. En 1970 el grupo dejaría de existir.
Después de sufrir un accidente de coche que impidió la creación del supertrío Beck, Bogert y Appice con los miembros de Vanilla Fudge Tim Bogert y Carmine Appice, Jeff reformó el Jeff Beck Group con nuevos componentes, reclutando al cantante Bobby Tench, al bajista Clive Chapman, al batería Cozy Powell y al teclista Max Middleton.
