Blow by Blow was my introduction to him and it's still my personal favorite, it's one of the more accessible fusion albums out there, nothing too crazy but every track is super memorable because they're built on such solid hooks from Beck. Nice production by George Martin too.

I know jack sh*t about guitar techniques and technical proficiency alone has never been enough to impress me, not if there's no hooks or no feel, fortunately Beck's playing was overflowing with both.

For example his solo on Looking For Another Pure Love is short, simple and sweet, with just a touch of flash with that little flourish of descending licks at the end, not a wasted note and it perfectly compliments the song.
