Still reeling over his sudden departure. I loved him since I was 14. Sadly, he couldn’t influence my primitive skills on guitar - but my hair style was all his. I fucking loved him!!!! JEFF!!!

I saw you play guitar licks at Ed Sullivan Theater for use on Letterman, and in many videos. I would say, even if your low opinion is truer than most think, you might well say as Lennon did of himself: “I'm OK, I'm not technically good, but I can make it fucking howl and move.”

“You know, my role model might have been Jeff Beck. I knew I’d never play guitar like that – but I thought I could look like him! The fact that he was a guy didn’t even [factor] into it.” #ChrissieHynde #ThePretenders 📸 Fin Costello/Redferns, via Getty Images

Chrissie is so cool. She said that these days she's only playing punk music live, not Pretenders classics. I want to see that show. Visit Florida, Chrissie. It's cold in London, right? We have what you need. Schedule at least one show here in 2023. Thx

Hey Chrissie! Back in ‘95 we caught you at the Beacon in NYC and then the Irving Plaza- My then girlfriend was so blown away by “I’ll Stand By You” That we made it our WEDDING SONG. The band learned it the night before. Almost 28 wonderful years ago. Thank you. All love!

Great hair, Ms. Hynde, you and Jeff Beck! Beck was a guitar virtuoso. You're a musical genius, too. Your vocal talent and ability to express a wide range of emotions are really special. piped.video/watch?v=GwdZPzz2…

I’m with you. He’d been a long time guitar hero of mine too. I realized your hair style was from him one day after going to one of his concert at the Warfield in San Francisco. It hit me and I thought “that’s where Chrissie’s hair style came from!” ❤️ See you soon! ✈️🎸🎼

🥲We fucking loved him, too, Chrissie. You always reminded me of Jeff. Hairstyle yes. (Guitar style no. Hehe) The coolest badass on the planet. Brother/Sister/Jeff/Chrissie.

Looks like the inspiration for Nigel Tufnel.

We're all pretty primitive compared to him. RIP Jeff Beck.

i feel it too and I'm not a personal friend, I can imagine how hard this is for all of you. Devoted my day to him yesterday, watched the entire Ronnie Scotts performance on YouTube. Such a great human and artist, taken suddenly and too soon 🙌🏼🧡

Is there any chance you named the band as a nod to Jeff? There’s only one Jeff Beck, everyone else are all pretenders? I’ll have to look up the origin of the name of the band.

Yes very great loss and very sad indeed. I will always appreciate your primitive skills, my very first date with my wife of 38 years was a Pretenders show at Radio City. 🤘🏻

78 when he died. He lived a long life for a rock star and leaves behind a great legacy. Can't ask for more than that
