Although he recorded two hit albums (in 19) as a solo act, Beck has not established or maintained the sustained commercial success of many of his contemporaries and bandmates.

Much of Beck's recorded output has been instrumental, with a focus on innovative sound, and his releases have spanned genres ranging from blues rock, hard rock, and an additional blend of guitar-rock and electronica.

Beck also formed the Jeff Beck Group and with Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice, he formed Beck, Bogert & Appice. He is one of the three noted guitarists to have played with the Yardbirds (the other two being Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page). Geoffrey Arnold Beck (born 24 June 1944) is an English rock guitarist.
