Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop is the fifth studio album by guitarist Jeff Beck, released in October 1989 through Epic Records. It reached #49 on that year's Billboard 200 chart, and later won an award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 1990 Grammy Awards. The album's single, "Stand on It", charted at #35 on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks in 1989, whilst "Sling Shot" was featured in the 1990 horror comedy film Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Several tracks were also used as part of the soundtrack for the "South Atlantic Raiders" episodes of the British comedy series The Comic Strip Presents. In a further move from his previous jazz fusion stylings, Beck adopts a more straightforward instrumental rock approach on this album, save for two tracks on which drummer Terry Bozzio provides spoken vocals.

“In front of that sinner of a husband,
she rattled off
only those words
that her pack of vile-tongued girlfriends
taught her
as fast as she could,
and after,
began to behave
at the Love-god’s beck and call.
It’s indescribable,
this natural, charming
path of love,
paved with the gems
of inexperience.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“Swiftly in the nights,
In the porches of Key West,
Behind the bougainvilleas
After the guitar is asleep,
Lasciviously as the wind,
You come tormenting.”

“For through the painter must you see his skill,
To find where your true image pictured lies,
Which in my bosom’s shop is hanging still,”
