Early Life
Geoffrey Arnold Beck, better known as Jeff Beck, was in Wallington, England. He was raised by parents Arnold and Ethel Beck. As a teenager, Beck learned to play the guitar and made several attempts to build his own instrument.

Beck continued to try to form a solid band over the next few years. His progress was slowed by a serious car accident in 1969. By April 1971, Beck had completed the line-up of his new band, Jeff Beck Group, which shared a name with his previous group but had a substantially different sound. The new band released two albums in the
