"Because We've Ended As Lovers"

Jeff Beck, "Because We've Ended As Lovers" (actually a Stevie Wonder tune, natch)

R.I.P. Jeff Beck.

As an aspiring 17 year-old guitarist I was much more interested in trying to emulate speed and bravado masters like Hendrix and Page.  Beck was, of course, a step ahead of everybody, bringing in jazz influences and a superbly unique technique mixing expression and vibrato.

Too soon, too soon.
