Jeff Beck, the legendary guitarist who died Jan. 10 after reportedly contracting bacterial meningitisThe 78-year-old artist will be remembered as one of the greatest musicians in rock ‘n’ roll history, a two-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — first as a member of the Yardbirds in 1992 and then in 2009 as a solo artist — whose amazing influence on the instrument is impossible to fully calculate.
Yet, unlike many other iconic rock guitarists — like Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page and David Gilmour — Beck’s music isn’t in constant rotation at many classic rock radio stations.

With that in mind, and with his loss hanging heavy in the air, here’s a list of 5 of his greatest guitar songs. Enjoy.
