6. Jeff Beck (The Yardbirds/Jeff Beck Group)
One of the three famed guitarists to play for The Yardbirds, Beck can master any type of guitar-playing style and pretty much has done so during his illustrious career. Still playing into his 70s, Beck is known for his exceptional instrumental work. It’s been said that trying to play like Beck is a waste of time because most can’t do it justice. He’s also played with many of the biggest music legends, from Rod Stewart to Stevie Wonder to Mick Jagger to Tina Turner.
