Guitar legend Jeff Beck has brushed off the rumours that he was the inspiration behind the character of Nigel Tufnel, in the movie ‘This Is Spinal Tap’.
 
The former Yardbirds star has long been linked to the spoof documentary, with gossips suggesting he was the basis for Christopher Guest's character, Nigel Tufnel.
 
But, Jeff Beck has claimed that the rumours are untrue and he only inspired Nigel Tufnel's hairstyle.
 
Jeff Beck said, "I think the hair was (based on mine) but it ends there. I knew that Christopher Guest had been watching me but Nigel is based on different characters from glam rock. Ironically, I was the only one who wasn't glam rock. I loved every minute of that movie."
 
He added, "I heard it on recommendation. I was watching it at a cinema in Westwood (California) and I was laughing so loud people were telling me to shut up. It was the funniest thing. They couldn't see the funny side of it."
