=== Solo career renewal: 1999 to 2020s ===

Beck's next release was in 1999, his first foray into guitar-based [[electronica]], ''[[Who Else!]]''. The album was Beck's first collaboration with a female instrumentalist, [[Jennifer Batten]],<ref name="Music Legends">{{cite web|publisher=Music Legends|url=http://musiclegends.ca/interviews/jennifer-batten-interview/|title=Jennifer Batten Interview|access-date=3 July 2013|date=23 July 2008|last=Saulnier|first=Jason|archive-date=19 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160319171111/http://musiclegends.ca/interviews/jennifer-batten-interview/|url-status=live}}</ref> in touring, writing, and recording as well as the first time he had worked with another guitarist on his own material since playing in the Yardbirds.

Beck won his third [[Grammy Award]], this one for "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" for the track "Dirty Mind" from ''[[You Had It Coming]]'' (2000).<ref name="grammy" /> The song "Plan B" from the 2003 release ''[[Jeff (album)|Jeff]]'', earned Beck his fourth [[Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance]], and was proof that the new electro-guitar style he used for the two earlier albums would continue to dominate.{{citation needed|date=January 2023}} Beck was the opening act for [[B.B. King]] in the summer of 2003 and appeared at Eric Clapton's [[Crossroads Guitar Festival]] in 2004. Additionally, in 2004, Beck was featured on the song [[54-46 That's My Number|"54-46 Was My Number"]] by [[Toots and the Maytals]] as part of the album [[True Love (Toots & the Maytals album)|''True Love'']] which won the [[Grammy Award]] for [[Best Reggae Album]].{{sfn|Power|2012|p=}}<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.grammy.com/nominees/search?artist=Toots&field_nominee_work_value=&year=All&genre=All |title=Awards &#124; GRAMMYs |website=Grammy.com |date=30 April 2017 |access-date=22 July 2017 |archive-date=20 December 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220070312/https://www.grammy.com/nominees/search?artist=toots&field_nominee_work_value=&year=All&genre=All |url-status=live }}</ref>
