I saw Jeff Beck this past summer, and he's certainly playing his best
right now--to say nothing of the fact that he smokes EVERYBODY else
out there, regardless of age...


It is just a matter of dedication and time spent.

Nope, and I bet Beck practices very little, and probably only plays
guitar when he's getting ready to tour or record.  Rest of his time
is spent building cars...

Again, Jeff Beck, who has reinvented himself numerous times.  How
many geezers could incorporate electronica/sampling/etc and pull it
off like Jeff does...
