First time covering some Jeff Beck! I’ve actually been playing this solo for years. It’s one of my all-time favorites. It’s also the ONLY Jeff Beck solo on the list, which is ridiculous! What about “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat”, “Where Were You?”, or “Beck’s Bolero”? Needless to say, I’d definitely place this tune higher on the list and add those others, but that’s beside the point.
This solo is a beast. It clocks in at a minute forty, but it doesn’t feel that long when you’re playing it; it’s just a real slow tempo. This one requires lots and lots of listening. Tabs and notation aren’t going to help much here. If you are using a transcription (the one in the Guitar World book is actually pretty solid), then just use it for a basic idea, then try to emulate the sound on the recording. Beck is all about nuance and subtlety, and his playing is very vocal. Just getting the notes isn’t enough with this one. You have to feel it.
