The formative years and evolution of Jeff Beck as a guitarist are the focus of a new two-hour documentary due this February.

A clip of the film, entitled A Man for All Seasons: Jeff Beck in the 1960s, was released online, and gives a brief look into the guitarist and the differences between his style and those of the man he replaced in the Yardbirds, Eric Clapton.

The documentary will focus on Beck’s career from his beginnings in The Yardbirds to his his brief, bizarre reinvention by producer Mickie Most as a solo pop star and the first incarnation of The Jeff Beck Group, playing alongside Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart.

The film also follows Beck’s rebirth after appearing on American Idol with Kelly Clarkson in 2007.

Directed by Tom O’Dell, the film includes interviews with fellow Yardbirds, Jim McCarty and Chris Dreja, various managers, journalists and commentary by Pamela Des Barres.

The documentary is available for pre-order, and will retail $19.95. The date for release is February 10.
