Canonical URL: Jeff Beck, 1976, from *Wired*. Solo by *Jeff Beck*. The Wired opener, a Max Middleton tune where Beck's aggressive tone meets a hard funk groove. Led Boots opens Wired, and it is Jeff Beck at his most aggressive. Written by Max Middleton, the tune has a hard funk groove, and Beck attacks it with a gritty, snarling tone full of bends, slides and sudden stops. The melody is jagged and angular, yet it always sits tight on the beat, giving the piece its swagger. It shows how Beck brought rock attitude into jazz-rock without softening either side. Listen for the moments when he lets a note hang and then bends it sharply, as if punctuating the groove with his own accents.
