My two cents:
Growing up, it was all about Jimmy Page, until I was old enough to realize, Jeff Beck was the one all along. I still believe in that Holy Trinity of Guitar--Eric, Jimmy and Jeff. But the one thing Jeff could do that the other two couldn't, was make whatever he was part of better.

Simply The Best.
I believe Jeff called Brian May "The Guvnor" as well.
I only saw Jeff once. It was back in 2009 at the Rock HOF show at MSG. Jeff was a last minute fill in for Clapton. He did about an hour long set that included guests Buddy Guy and Billy Gibbons. In a night that featured sets from U2, Metallica and Aretha, his was the best.
RIP Mr Beck
Here, Here.

How is this possible?
Last night I revisited the Ronnie Scott BluRay starting at the end with the JB interview.
Once again, essential viewing and the concert is a must watch.
I saw Jeff Beck in Berlin in 2014 where he displayed a virtuosity that few come close to.
Beckology is a nice overview and is currently on the RTR Turntable
Like the Queen, for many people of my age group Jeff was always there - and yes we bopped to Hi-Ho Silver Lining.
RIP He was amazing creative to the end.
