Beck died from a bacterial meningitis infection at a hospital near Riverhall on 10 January 2023, at the age of 78.
Within minutes of his death announcement, musicians and friends began
paying tribute; Jimmy Page wrote that "The six stringed Warrior is no
longer here for us to admire the spell he could weave around our mortal
emotions. Jeff could channel music from the ethereal. His technique
unique. His imaginations apparently limitless. Jeff I will miss you
along with your millions of fans". Mick Jagger
expressed his condolences, writing "With the death of Jeff Beck we have
lost a wonderful man and one of the greatest guitar players in the
world. We will all miss him so much." Ronnie Wood,
a former bandmate of Beck's, stated "Now Jeff has gone, I feel like one
of my band of brothers has left this world, and I'm going to dearly
miss him." Beck's funeral took place at St Mary's Church in Beddington on 3 February.
Paul Samwell-Smith (born Paul Smith, 8 May 1943, in Richmond, Surrey) is an English musician and record producer. He was a founding member and the bassist of the 1960s English rock band the Yardbirds, which launched leading guitarists Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page to fame. As a youth, Samwell-Smith attended Hampton School with Yardbirds drummer Jim McCarty.
While in the Yardbirds, he co-produced and engineered much of their music, working with record producers such as Mickie Most, Simon Napier-Bell and Giorgio Gomelsky.
Samwell-Smith was a major contributor to the original tracks written by
the Yardbirds during his tenure with the band. He left the group in
June 1966 to pursue a career as a record producer.
The Yardbirds
In late May 1963, he formed the Yardbirds with Keith Relf, Anthony Topham, Chris Dreja, and Jim McCarty. During this period his primary instrument was a short-scale Epiphone Rivoli bass. He played on the UK albums, Five Live Yardbirds and Yardbirds (also known as Roger the Engineer) and on the US albums For Your Love, Having a Rave Up, and Over Under Sideways Down (which was Roger the Engineer retitled for the US market), all released on Epic Records. He provided background vocals on many songs like "Good Morning Little School Girl", "For Your Love", "Heart Full of Soul", "Evil Hearted You",
and more. He composed the Gregorian chant arrangements and lyrics of
the songs "Still I'm Sad" and "Turn Into Earth". While in the Yardbirds
he started working on the technical side in the studio. In 1966,
becoming tired of touring and wanting to focus on production, he left
the Yardbirds and was replaced by Jimmy Page. The last Yardbirds album he played on was Roger the Engineer.
Regarding Samwell-Smith's years with the Yardbirds, a 2020 article in Guitar World
opined: "As a bassist, Paul Samwell-Smith was solid and occasionally
prominently inventive. No doubt, had he stuck to that he’d have been
feted as an influence by many."
In the early 1980s, Samwell-Smith played in the Yardbirds reunion band Box of Frogs with original Yardbird members Chris Dreja and Jim McCarty.
The Box of Frogs did not tour because Chris Dreja was busy with his
photography and Samwell-Smith was busy in the recording studio.
He went on to become a successful producer with credits including Cat Stevens' albums Tea for the Tillerman (1970), Teaser and the Firecat (1971) and Catch Bull at Four (1972). An article in The Washington Post
praised Samwell-Smith's "deft, understated touch" on these recordings
as a primary reason for their commercial success, and commented: "The
chamber ensemble palette Samwell-Smith employed, consisting mainly of
acoustic guitars, piano, upright bass and hand percussion, and the
refined arrangements he crafted, perfectly complement the interior
landscapes that Stevens was exploring. Stevens had the pure, raw talent,
certainly, but it was Samwell-Smith who seemed to understand how best
to transmute and position that talent for maximum artistic impact." Samwell-Smith also produced recordings for Jethro Tull, Carly Simon, Renaissance, Murray Head, Chris de Burgh, Beverley Craven, Toto Coelo, Illusion and Claire Hamill. Other production credits include two of Amazing Blondel's albums for Island Records; the first and second albums by All About Eve for Mercury; and "American Tune" (1973 single) with Paul Simon.
Film
Paul Samwell-Smith was the musical producer for the film Harold and Maude in 1971, with music written by Cat Stevens, which became a cult classic. In addition, two decades later, he produced Postcards from the Edge in 1990, as a music sound recording and recording supervisor.

Jimmy Page é frequentemente citado e considerado por muitos críticos, fãs e colegas músicos como um dos guitarristas mais influentes e um dos mais importantes compositores do rock. Foi classificado em sexto lugar em uma lista dos melhores guitarristas pela revista Time, em 2010 ficou em segundo lugar na lista Gibson, e em terceiro lugar na lista dos 100 maiores guitarristas da história pela revista Rolling Stone. Page, que tocou nos Yardbirds, juntamente com Jeff Beck e Eric Clapton, foi um dos primeiros guitarristas a popularizar o uso da distorção e 'feedback' eletrónicos com a fuzzbox de Roger Mayer. Possui uma música muito intensa, com célebres riffs como o de "Whole Lotta Love", e poderosos solos como o da famosa canção "Stairway to Heaven".
