He was part of the 1960s guitar heroes alongside Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jimi Hendrix. Beck was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice, with his band Yardbirds and as a solo artist. His unique sound and improvisational skills led him to collaborate with a wide range of artists, from Rod Stewart to Stevie Wonder.
