Tribute to Jeff Beck, “Jeff’s Waltz”

Post by Mike Neer »

This is a tune I wrote and recorded about 5 years ago that ended up on a German 2-cd tribute to Jeff Beck called The Loner 2. This is an alternate mix. I don’t remember ever posting this here but it may be a little out there for some of you. I really dig Jeff and was trying to capture his vibe. Accompanied by my good friend Matt King on keys.

Well, maybe I'm "out there" with you? I loved it! But I went through a jazz fusion period back when I was in my twenties (in my 60's now). I always had the highest regard for Beck's technical prowess. I did not always like his selection of pieces as much. But this one works for me! Nice job!
Pedal steel, lap steel, resonator, blues harp - why suck at just one instrument when you can do so on many?

Nice! I especially liked the "Beck-ism" around 1:40 and the cool hammer-ons at 1:20. Thanks for sharing.

I actually thought it was a tune of Beck's until I read the instructions. Very cool. Simpatico.
