"Beck was the second of the Yardbirds' three star guitarists,\nleading the group's swing into R&amp;amp;B- charged psychedelia\n(\"Shapes of Things,\" \"Over Under Sideways Down\") with his speed and\ndeft manipulation of feedback and sustain. In 1967, Beck formed his\nown heavier variation on the Yardbirds &amp;mdash; the Jeff Beck Group,\nwith then-unknown singer Rod Stewart &amp;mdash; which added\nheavy-metal pow to British blues and became a major role model for\nJimmy Page's Led Zeppelin. But Beck's commercial peak came in the\nmid-1970s, with an idiosyncratic style of jazz fusion (whiplash\nmelodies; artful, roaring distortion; whammy-bar hysterics) that he\nstill plays today with undiminished class and ferocity, when he\nisn't in his garage at home in England working under the hoods of\nvintage cars. \n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
