"This is such a great departure for Jeff Beck, and though those who like his older stuff may not enjoy this album, those who love instrumental guitar rock, this is THE Jeff Beck album to buy. great songs from begining to end. I love to listen to this whole album on repeat."
One of Becks best

"Jeff Becks amazing work "Guitar Shop" is a must for the hard core fan. Casual fans may like it for its more of a traditional rock album then the jazz fusion Beck is better known for. Becks guitar work is top notch, as always, being the perfectionist he is. This album won a Grammy in 1990."
Jeff Beck's middle years were great too!

"Jeff Beck is one of the great artists of the electric guitar. After Hendrix (who is in a class of his own), Beck is one of the greatest. Unlike many others, he covers a broad musical spectrum, incluing hard rock, more or less straight blues, jazz fusion, more or less straight jazz, and classical (bent his own way, of course).
In Guitar Shop, Beck continues his journey. Not as groundgreaking as his very early work--with the Yardbirds--he replaced, and improved upon, Eric Clapton), and not as revolutionary as his work with the Jeff Beck Group (Truth and Beck-Ola). Not cutting edge jazz fusion (Wired and Blow by Blow), it still stands head and shoulders above virtually anyone else playing on electric guitar!
Buy it, but don't stop hear!"
