The group launched the careers of guitarists Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck. A blues-based band that broadened its range into pop and rock, the Yardbirds contributed to many electric guitar innovations of the mid-1960s, such as feedback, "fuzztone" distortion and improved amplification.

Their repertoire drew from the Chicago blues of Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Sonny Boy Williamson II and Elmore James, including "Smokestack Lightning", "Good Morning Little School Girl", "Boom Boom", "I Wish You Would", "Rollin' and Tumblin'" and "I'm a Man"; Jimmy Page and future member John Paul Jones would later record Sonny Boy Williamson II's "Bring It On Home" in Led Zeppelin.Original lead guitarist Topham left and was replaced by Eric Clapton in October 1963.On 7 July 1968, the Yardbirds played their final gig at the College of Technology in Luton, Bedfordshire.
