Jeff Beck Beck's Bolero

The "guitarist's guitarist" . Epic skill, tone, dexterity etc etc but for us non-musos, a strange lack of tune. Pass.

I'm not an expert on guitar models but this song was originally played on a strat and is apparently quite well known:


Clapton - Layla

Yes that’s what he’s playing, the famous “Blackie”

I'm not an expert, but I think all three guitarists are playing on strats.

That song is brilliant, even to sounding like machine guns opening up as the troops go over the top in the song, Iron Maiden at their best

It always seems such a 'big' sound
