Damn, that's a real Blow by Blow to the gut.

I saw a video of Alice cooper saying Beck is the best guitarist of all time. He said Beck was holding a guitar vertically with one hand by the guitar's neck down near the body. He let the guitar slowly slip through his hand as he played progressions, triplets until the guitar slipped all the way down to where the strings connect. AC said they were like "who is this guy?" They knew and already held him in the highest regard but simply couldn't believe what he could do with a guitar.

Lucky enough to hear him at the Allentown Fair one time on a bill with Santana. Monster player.
