The Yardbirds were a triad of electric guitars in the height of the British Invasion in the mid 1960′s. The three guitarists were Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck. Eric Clapton is #4, Jimmy Page #9, and Jeff Beck is #14 in Rolling Stones Top 100 Guitarists list.
In the 2009 Hall of Fame Concert Jeff Beck armed with his signature Fender Stratocaster electric guitar showed why he is a great guitarist. He played several solos along with “People Get Ready” with Sting on bass guitar. His style and technique is what makes him so great, “it’s all in his hands” said Eric Clapton.
Along with his Stratocaster he sometimes used a Fender Telecaster guitar as well as a Gibson Les Paul electric guitar, his electric guitar packages consist of amplifiers by Fender and Marshall.
