Cause We've Ended As Lovers

"Cause We've Ended As Lovers" is an instrumental track by Jeff Beck, featured on his acclaimed 1975 solo debut Blow By Blow. Originally written by Stevie Wonder, Beck transforms it into a showcase of expressive, vocal-like lead guitar phrasing. For electric guitarists, it is an essential study in tone, dynamics, and the ability to make a guitar sing melodically without a single word.

  • The song was written by Stevie Wonder, demonstrating Beck's ability to reinterpret material from other genres through pure guitar expression.
  • Blow By Blow reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200, making it one of the most commercially successful instrumental rock albums ever released.
  • Beck plays the melody with such nuance that the guitar mimics a human voice — mastering his vibrato and bends is key to learning this piece.
Fender Stratocaster
Guitar

Fender Stratocaster

Beck's signature instrument for six decades, the Strat's bright articulation and responsive tremolo system let him manipulate pitch and dynamics with surgical precision. The two-point synchronized tremolo with steel block provides the tuning stability he needs for extreme whammy bar work.

Fender Telecaster

Fender Telecaster

Beck turned to the Telecaster's raw, cutting tone for blues-rock material, leveraging its single-coil bite and direct signal path to channel aggressive fingerstyle playing without a thick midrange.

Gibson Les Paul Standard

The Les Paul's thicker body and humbucker warmth offered Beck a contrasting sonic palette during his Yardbirds era, giving him sustain and body for heavier blues-based riffs.

Gibson Les Paul Custom

Beck's oxblood 1954 Les Paul Custom provided the foundational fat midrange and sustain he needed when transitioning from the Fender Strat's brighter character during early career explorations.

Marshall JCM800

Beck's amp workhorse for decades, the JCM800 delivers responsive tube breakup that rewards finger dynamics and volume knob control, with mids pushed forward to complement his articulate single-coil tone.

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah

Beck uses the Cry Baby's expressive filter sweep selectively on key tracks, treating the wah as a subtle tone-shaping tool that enhances his natural fingerstyle dynamics rather than a constant effect.
