Jeff Beck was a guitarist’s guitarist-a restless genius who could do things that even contemporaries like Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jimi Hendrix couldn't touch. But why did one of the top five greatest guitarists of all time never achieve the same massive commercial success as his peers?

The new book Blow by Blow: The Jeff Beck Story looks at the "Woodstock moment" that defined his career, his complicated artistic identity, and why his refusal to be "packaged" made him both a legend and an enigma. Plus, a look at "Jeff’s Guitar Garage," a technical breakdown of the gear that powered his otherworldly sound.
