    Hot Rods and Rock & Roll
    Jeff Beck
    In BECK01 Jeff Beck takes us on the journey of a lifetime. Over five decades, he has blazed a trail forging a unique style lauded by critics, fans and fellow guitar legends. Telling the story behind the music, Beck's twin inspirations - hot rodding and rock'n'roll - are now bound together in the official signed limited edition book of his career.
    'Right from the beginning, I've tried to do something with anything I've got hold of. At the age of 13, I built two or three of my own guitars. I painted
    The Photography
    BECK01
    Beck has opened his archives specially for the making of his book. Family photos are included alongside personal letters from friends and heroes including Charles Mingus BB King and Les Paul.
    'I had no idea that this many photos existed until we found them during the making of my book. The pictures of the disappearing hot rod are going to blow people's minds.' Jeff Beck
    Beck's remarkable life in music is documented through the work of top photographers including Robert Knight, Baron Wolman, Bob Gruen, Michael Putland, Barrie Wentzell, Gered Mankowitz, Neil Zlozower and Michael Zagaris.
    Influential magazine spreads, set lists, posters and record sleeves further illustrate Beck's words.
    Hot Rods and Rock
    BECK01
    For the first time Beck explains in print how he lovingly constructs hot rods composes music and customises his instruments.
    'Constructing a hot rod takes a lot of patience. It's the same with music. There's no use cutting corners, but I enjoy the process.' Jeff Beck
    Beck's cars and guitars are photographed exclusively for Genesis readers, offering a fascinating new perspective on his art.
    The Manuscript
    BECK01
    In an original text spanning more than 350 pages Beck shares anecdotes from his early bands The Yardbirds, The Jeff Beck Group, Beck, Bogert and Appice and his multi-award-winning solo career.
    Read stories of disappearing hot rods, stolen guitars, secret studio sessions and near-catastrophic car crashes. Beck tells of playing with Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Jimmy Page, Ronnie Wood, Eric Clapton, John McLaughlin, Tina Turner, Rod Stewart, Diana Ross, Scotty Moore, Pete Townshend and many more. His new limited edition is introduced by guitar virtuoso John McLaughlin.
    'When asked to write the introduction to this book about Jeff, I thought to myself who better? So I wrote, "Jeff Beck is my all time favourite electric guitarist"... What do I say after that?' John McLaughlin
