Jason Becker - Bach Solo and a little piece of "Air"

[zacksentry]

@definethagreatline I think someone said that last generation..and the generation before that...

[Zjdarling]

Would have been the best in the modern day by a longs shot, if....well...you know

[moonsault2506123]

incredible guitarist!.

[flowerdrop1]

nice, let's see Esteban play that!

[sgtcortez19]

That poor jazz guitar.

[LunarLionheart]

The people who disliked this really don't understand why this is so inspirational. Even when you disregard his musical ability, as a person, he is the most inspirational man I've ever come across, to keep going in his state, it makes me feel grateful to be able to live my life to the full, even if I will never be as good as him on the instrument. But regardless of what I said earlier, it's also impossible to disregard his playing. An absolute genius. Long live Jason Becker.

[scotty8254]

As we xan see from mr. Becker, study the masters!!!!

[shredmaster100]

crazy the stretch of his fingers makes even bucketheads finger stretch look ordinary jason was the master

[ddt44ss]

jason a művész!JASON THE GREAT

[TrollRaper69]

mutherfuckers only 16 in this video (shakes head)

[TrollRaper69]

Compositions like this absolutely shit on Yngwie...Juss sayin

[ibaneziano]

The best EVER

[ddt44ss]

jason the great

[shREDhead44]

He said Fuck it too hard to play, then plays something even harder! WTF!

[TheMordum]

@shREDhead44 it's not easier.

[shREDhead44]

@TheMordum it's splitting hairs at that point, both of them are crazy hard!

[TheMordum]

@shREDhead44 The second one isn't that hard if you know the technique.

[chickenbeek]

never noticed he starts playing jeff beck at the end of the Bach piece

[carla47050]

sempre sera jason becker otimo

[RIFFSUAREZ]

I have to admit, This is the only other guitar I ever see him using other than his 80's signature Carwin and his red/pink one with stickers doing his trademark solos, and yo yo-ing.

[shredmaster100]

too hard to play dont even try it i agree with jason after seeing him play that classical piece i think my guitars going out the window he was the guitar god no one will be better he beats hendrix page clapton beck gilmour vai malmsteen satriani srv buddy guy brian may slash van halen basically in my opinion jason was the best improvising player ive heard just a shame god got jealous of his talent

[DanKALanKJankins]

@shredmaster100 " just a shame god got jealous of his talent" ill second that

[shredmaster100]

yeah man just imagine how great hed have been if he hadnt got ill

[EVEROSFP1]

it is really sad to see the competitive spirit that have many musicians...I am sure what Jason did (AND DOES)is to express himself and that s all.....Jason is a GREAT artist AND guitar player.

[petedogg369]

Songs written for piano usually are harder to play on guitar. And if it's hard to play on piano then it's next to impossible on guitar.

[MainstreamMustDie]

There is no better guitar duo then Jason Becker and Marty Friedman

[OoDidyoO]

"Fuck it man. Too hard, don't even try to play it."

me: "O RLY?"

*grabs guitar tries to play it and fails*

FFFUUU

LONG LIVE THE GUITAR MASTER :D

[meatforyourmom]

[ValeriaNovaG]

[Soul18One]

I love that guitar,is beutifull!

[ayoluca1]

Its too hard man!! dont even try to play it!! JASON BECKER!! YOU ARE RIGHT MY DEAR!!

[WARTOOTH96]

Jason, you're a beast! Hah I wouldn't be playing like I am today if it wasn't for your inspirational music! Thanks brah!

[oOBlackAngel95Oo]

2:21 If it's you saying it, Jason, it really has to be the hardest fu**ing thing in the world :E

[smithdsmit]

I miss the 80's and being young.too bad i didnt apprieciate it at the time

[live2shredguy]

Bach's Prelude in E major

[ismelljello]

Comparing Jason Becker and God???? thats absurd, i mean he's good but he's no Jason Becker ;)

[ilikepenguins100]

@ismelljello have fun in hell man

[ismelljello]

@ilikepenguins100 you're cute :)

[ilikepenguins100]

@ismelljello oh God i hope you arent a dude

[ismelljello]

@ilikepenguins100 you know i am :)

[msutton2006]

The first piece isn't air, its is Prelude from BWV1006. But the important thing is that this is amazing!

[guitarfreak23397]

@msutton2006 dude...READ A FUCKING TITLE! it says bach solo and a little piece of air.

[RaterisimoCBA]

Only Jason Becker can have the amount of greatness required to play something REALLY FUCKING HARD on camera and having trouble with it at some point and just saying "It´s too hard man, don´t even try to play it" with a big smile on his face.

[cameltooth1]

I didn't know that could b done on guitar. One guitar.

[TheNovemberRomance]

Which Bach is this?

[EricGodfree]

@TheNovemberRomance prelude to Bach's lute suite BWV 1004

[lralbrecht]

love the little bit of jeff beck in there

[Daniloman2908]

God didn't want to be the 2nd

[rod3067]

@Daniloman2908 yeah, in musci with jason, and in physics with stephen hawking!

[moonsault2506123]

2.38 to end,i cant stop watching/listening to it!.

[sixpounder6169]

wonder if there we'll ever be another like he in my life time.

[jimmyleppard6]

@sixpounder6169 Not a chance. There won't be another Jason Becker type for a long time..

[IxMAKExUxGOxLOL]

@sixpounder6169 ...Shawn Lane? Guthrie Govan? Paul Gilbert? Chris Broderick? Jeff Loomis? Marty Friedman? Greg Howe? Tony MacAlpine?

Jason Becker is one of the greatest, not the greatest.

[sixpounder6169]

@IxMAKExUxGOxLOL yea of course! paul and jeff i think are also one of the greatest.

[IxMAKExUxGOxLOL]

@sixpounder6169 Good, then we're on the same page : )

[pairISweakNESS]

@sixpounder6169 buckethead

[Grizzlism]

@pairISweakNESS

get out

[pairISweakNESS]

@Grizzlism Already gone, haha, if you wanna talk ill be here: watch?v=Nf2rjK4228s&feature=re­lated

[Grizzlism]

@pairISweakNESS

no.

[ColbyJMeyer]

@pairISweakNESS Your fucking stupid Jason is 99x better than a buckethead.

Paul Gilbert Kicks KFCface's ass btw.

[taylorshred]

@ColbyJMeyer fuck yeah! i cant take grease head seriously JASON GILBERT FTW

[neoclasiccl]

@sixpounder6169 Shawn is the only one to have surpassed Jason but sadly he died in 2003.

[camshreds]

@sixpounder6169 steve vai is the answer to that problem bro.

[sixpounder6169]

@camshreds i prefer jeff loomis, jason inspired jeff. oh yea and paul gilbert. jeff and paul are like copys of jason becker especially jeff in his solo album zero order phase.

steve is an amazing guitarist aswell but he doesn't have that jason becker feel.

[camshreds]

@sixpounder6169 your opinion is your opinion. Jeff and Paul are both very skilled musicians. They ARE at the level of Vai. it's just that vai is so much more popular than them. That's why he is percieved as better, when in reality it doesn't matter. It's just the music that you make and if it sounds good great!

[sixpounder6169]

@camshreds True, they're all great musicians.

[junkerde]

@sixpounder6169 there is. his name is kirk hammett. nah jk im just trollin.

[o0Slipdisc0o]

@sixpounder6169 There already was and it seems you have missed him; Shawn Lane (R.I.P.)

[hulkpalmerense1]

esse cara é o verdadeiro genio da musica!!!

[maruyo94]

GOD!! (L)

[thorns81]

GREAT!!!!!!
