Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop is the fifth studio album by guitarist Jeff Beck, released in 1989 through Epic Records. It won the 1989 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance[3] and charted at #49 on that year's Billboard 200.[4] "Stand on It" was released as a single, which charted at #35 on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks,[5] whilst "Sling Shot" was featured in the 1990 film, Gremlins 2: The New Batch. 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.
