Jeff Beck showing how to use the controls on the guitar

I love the contrast between "Cry me a river" and the rest

I need to learn these things more

Yeah. One day, I wish.

The controls are obviously important and I wonder how much he impacts the tone with his fingers? 

I've used a pick all my life but I see players like Jeff using their fingers and wonder if it's time to break a habit of a lifetime and throw it away for a while.

Excellent.

I do hate watching guys like that though, makes me realise just how crap my playing is

I do love watching guys like that. It reminds me what a beautiful and versatile instrument the guitar is and why I started playing in the first place. 

It helps me to realise, that whatever my skill level, I can take pleasure from it. After all, I'm not trying to make a living from it. 

I do love a bit of Jeff Beck.
