GMC Forum _ Bands and Guitarists _ Jason Becker Tribute
Posted by: Koopid Jul 28 2008, 12:36 PM
I actually found this guy in the local newspaper, apparantly he lives somewhere in the same very small town as me.
I LOVE this tune, he is 17 or 18 years old..

Jason Becker was an awesome player, no doubt. Has been an inspiration to me many times. He's still an awesome musician, though he's movement these days are limited.

Awesome! He sound brilliant!
And he even got a mail from Jason Becker saying he should keep up the good work ^^
Thanks for sharing =)

He was when he recorded his first album..now he should be almost 40. Unfornutalely, he is very sick and can't play anymore for at least 20 ages...poor guy...brilliant player he was already with 17 !

Yeah, Becker himself is ill... This was "just" a tribute by someone in Koopid's hometown
I heard Steve Vai and Paul Gilbert and many other guitarists joined together to make a CD where all profits were given to Becker to help pay for his medical treatment.

He plays so good! Beautiful composition! Thanks for sharing.

I see I misunderstood, I thought it was a video in which Jason played becaue I didn't watch the video..
.the age of 17 just primed in me because Jason was also seventeen and played like a God...but now I watched it...this guy seems to follow in the steps of Jason - also such an awesome young player Incredible !!!

Don't make my self-esteem hit rock bottom !!!

Really awesome! 
I´m pretty sure he´ll be a pro. I hope so.

Respect to him and for the mighty Jason! Jason rules!

Hopefully not into the grim land of ALS.

I talked to him on Myspace... He also composes his piece by what sounds good to him. He said he sometimes looks at scales to compose his pieces. But, this piece he had none in mind when the wrote it. His tone was a lot like Jason's (Vibrato, phrases etc.), especially in the beginning. This was a really good find
!

Jason Becker was the best composer among guitarist players, and one of the few shredders that I really appreciate!
Posted by: Noangels Oct 8 2008, 01:37 PM
Great melodies,but I was expecting a ripping solo in there somewhere!
Jason was killer,loved his carvin guitar adds-shame he got ill.I think other people could notice it when
he was recording with DLR in the studios and after that it just got worse.
Posted by: Koopid Oct 15 2008, 03:53 PM
So nice to see a fellow Söderhamnare in here too
Posted by: Prantare Oct 15 2008, 04:51 PM
