Beck's award kicks off the organization's Guitar Hall of Fame
Montreal, Canada (July 9, 2009) -- The Montreal Guitar Show (MGS) honored Jeff Beck Monday with the very first Montreal Guitar Show Tribute Award.

For the third edition of the show, organizers felt it important to create a Tribute Award to kick off their Guitar Hall of Fame that will spotlight a handful of the most outstanding guitarists. Organizers say Beck was a natural choice for the launching of this award. The trophy, made by luthier Michihiro Matsuda, was presented to him by Jacques-André Dupont, founder and general manager of the MGS, Monday July 6 at 2:00pm during a press conference.

All they are listening to is their crappy i-Pods and shitty computer speakers, let alone the inferior formats like mp3 and similar! That's why they can't even tell the difference! Of course, not all but the majority are impotent in the taste department and it's not a surprise they can't recognize the real music and (more often than not) actually prefer cheap imitations! They love pizzas because they have never tasted salmon!

When you look at the caliber of musicians that play with Mr Beck today; when you listen to "Behind the Veil" and other compositions, or the sheer dynamics of his playing on a single stock Stratocaster straight into the Marshall - it's just extraordinary. For pity's sake, how can you not respect this musicians' musician - the compositions alone are exquisite and the playing breathtaking, the innovation second-to-none and the sounds unheard before him. Congratulations, Mr Beck - thank you for coming on up to five decades of pure pleasure.

What Vai, Satriani, and other guitar titans from the '80s offer is a very cool dimension off what Jeff was already doing by the early '70s. They'll have their day off retrospective fame in due time, but today belongs to Jeff...because he deserves it. Best to you Jeff!!

on 07/10/2009 		Let's just pay tribute to Jeff Beck for the out-standing artist that everyone here truly knows he is. What Jeff represents does not have to be defended. He is beyond words. He is well respected by all real musicians and music lovers alike. Dan M. is just trying to piss everyone off. When you allow someone to piss you off, you give them power over you. Ignore Dan. He is not worth all the attention everyone here has gave him. We are bigger than that and we owe it to Jeff Beck to give him the great comments that we would have other wise done. Steve Vai is great also and does not deserve to be slaughtered by the masses because of Dan. Steve Vai did not make the comments. Now everyone move forward and Dan M. Just go away. We love Jeff Beck. Clean slate. Now everyone make fresh comments.

LESS FILLING!!!!

So there, take that. Cripes. That's about where this comment section debate has gone. Can't we all just appreciate the various flavors that are out there? Oh wait, that would mean being well-versed in more than one style of something. It's much easier to fly the flag of your own narrow focus.
Carry on...

The mattter of fact is both are great musicians and both deserve a great deal of respect.

There's something to be learned from both of them.

Thanks for all the great tunes Jeff, and keep them coming!
