Jason Becker

[* velcro-fly *]

Holy shit this tune was smoking... crazy a teenager wrote it. Marty Friedman's 1st riff in that first solo he takes is just ridiculous.



This is cool too, Atma Anur is such a killer drummer too

I listened to that song a million times when it came out!!!! Damn fine composition. Love the shift to blues scales at the end.

Crazy album.

I still have my original vinyl of that album that I got when I was in high school. My buddy bought the Friedman one and I bought that one in a record store in Germany we used to go to.

I watched the documentary last year and was so moved that I donated to him and his family thru the website. It is so inspiring to see someone like him that can't even move but he is still finding anyway to create. I think the documentary is free on Tubi. I would still love to get that signature guitar of his.

I met him back in the day, went to his house, took some lessons. Jason is a legend, terrifying player!!

Opus Pocus is one of my all-time favorite instrumental guitar tracks,,,,,,by anyone.

I been teaching a lot of his stuff . I must pony this out : don’t forget the licks Jadon did in cacaphony . There some ideas I never saw him do again . I find myself really having fun playing say Savage . The long flowing lines in the main melody are amazing titty twisters on guitar .

Btw . For $50 you can can get a print of at that Jason’s dad painted . Jason then puts his real magical thumbprint on it . All proceeds go to his medical help . Well worth it for him .
I had to touch my thumb into his for good luck . I found after I touched his print I can play anything . Lol jk

Thanks for letting me know! I just ordered a print!

I could use Jason and his Dad's energy in my house. I have so much respect for that family. They never gave up and complained, they just figurex out how to press on.
