So good. Anybody know what the jazzy/bluesy part he plays in the end is? Is it in the raspberry or blackberry jams? I would love to hear more and to know what chords they are.
Nobody comes even close to Jason Beckers skill,Tecnique.He will always be the best guitarist that ever lived.God bless you Jason.Hope you get better.I pray for you.
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.
In Jasons defense he's playing it way faster than most do, I'm sure if he played at the tempo all the others are (the more traditional tempo) it would be flawless. Though I personally think it sounds better the way Jason plays it.
Had this on VHS when i was younger & it changed me. I went on to learn the peice, the most satisfying thing i've done musically. Its not that hard to play as well, slowed down to proper pace, everyone should learn it. Give it a go!
This bach piece is called Prelude BWV 1006 written for the luth or piano. I have never seen this piece played at speed with a pick. Amazing ! wow. This is usually played on a classical guitar but at a slower tempo and there is less movement and shifts. He is playing it like a violin. I think if he would have slowed down a little bit he would have for sure finished it. Truly remarkable. This is one of those pieces that nobody wants to include in a recital because it is so hard. hes right fuckit
Jason is the Guitar God of all the Guitarists out there.Even today nobody can ever reach to his capability and will ever reach.At that age Jason was dignosed of ALS disease.Its soo sad but beautiful melodious music will always remain in Jasons heart and Jasons music will always remain in my and all of our hearts.God bless you. Jason you will always remain my Guitar God and my guitar inspiration throughout my life.My one dream in my life is to get to meet you in person nd play half as good as you
@Trahira517 Unfortunately, it is playable :P he is using a very difficult transcription; he is picking _every_ note .. and playing it in the original speed. U might wana give it a try; playing it in E, and using your right hand middle/ringfinger to pluck strings additional to your picking, then youll have a lot of open string plucking which Jason has to solve with twohand picking.. and try it a bit slower; its rly not impossible, and fun to play ;)
He's such an inspiration, he shows that no matter what happens to you, you can continue to do what you love. Everyone should know about this guy and all the great things he has done.
I brings to tears thinking about how talented Jason Becker was and how he was capable of writing such beautiful music. In the end his ability to play music was slowly taken from and practically turned into a human vegetable. Why did it have to be him and not fucking Lady Gaga or any of the popular artist today that i can't consider musicians.
@kualpaca1 - So true, except for the veggie part....trust me, his mind is as sharp as ever and he is very much alive mentally. I still can't beat his brilliant ass in Scrabble!
@kualpaca1 Well if it were a popular figure then you'd just hear a bunch of musical idiot bitching about it, then they'd move on to the next fad. Jason, however, forever remains a god.
A.) just because Jason is paralyzed, it doesn't make him a vegetable at all. he's all there. it's insulting for you to call him a vegetable because while music was a big part of his life, his family and friends mean a lot more to him and he still has them.
B.) lady gaga is a musician. she's one of the few who have studied music while being a popular artist. she also can play piano.
you're an asshole for wishing his illness on anyone else
at least he can still compose music. his body is a vegetable, but his mind still reeks of musical creativity and he is able to express that without even being capable of moving. genius on the level of beethoven.
@kualpaca1 completely agree with you. Garbage creatures like lady gaga , beyonce and the rest of the shit called artists these days should get this fate if anyone should get it. You simply cannot deny that people like jason and people like artists today are two TOTALLY opposite species. Jason was a real musician with LOVE for music, Beyonce a real talentless creature with LOVE for money , fame and shallowness.
They have hijacked the music industry and someone should kick them all the hell out
Can you even imagine the type of impact he would have had on music. He would be a household name, far more famous than Van Halen, Kirk Wahmett, or Zack Mild. He's far beyond what any musician can match, amazing beyond belief. He would have changed the face of music, I would go so far as to suggest that he potentially could have influence popular music to having kids attempting to play caprices rather than chugging on a drop F string or repeating 3 chords forever.
i just found out about this guy yesterday . he's not my favourite guitarist but dam i sure think he's the best and i think probably the best musician to ever live (part form some Asian pianist might give him a run for his money )
@Kakhaufan dont really care enough of what others think i can/cant play. hardly even play guitar anymore. but i could play this. its not difficult except for a few wide stretches
Sorry, but I think this is a beautiful piece that should be played at a slower tempo to be enjoyed thoroughly. You shouldn't play it that fast just because you can. Don't get me wrong, Jason has immense talent and clearly has a great amount of skill, but in my opinion, playing the song that fast just takes away from the beauty of it. Less is more sometimes.
Do you guys know how hard this piece is to play? I have the tab and I've flung that book across the room many a nights :) Sad part is he prolly started playing it about 4 days before he made this video. And he's not doing bad, for picking it not bad at all! Check out Perpetual Burn if you wanna hear him get off! Amazing!!!
When was this written? It's lute suite 4 by Bach. Not to knock Becker by any means but that means that there were players in the 17th century knocking this piece out.
Directly after writing my last comment I realized that the version he plays is a much different rendition than that played by classical guitarists and is probably much more difficult as I know from the fingerpicked version "Air" that Becker is an excellent classical player and composer.
@kobrakommando Do not think that I do not love Jason Becker as I have loved his music since "Perpetual Burn" first came out in '91. I was only in amazment that Becker couldn't play it and that it was played in the 17th century, as I thought when I wrote it that it was the same arrangment
@intervalkid you have to remember jason was still a TEEN at this time. i doubt those players in the 17th century were 17 when they played this beautiful peace.
@TheWhocares233 actually players such as bach and beethoven were a lot younger when they started composing.the only difference is the time periods.back then they prolly didnt have nearly as much to do as we have to offer now with technology advancing and whatnot. so they prolly played piano all the fuckin time. haha.jasons still considered a prodigy but prolly didnt play as much as early composers did when they were young. he was too busy gettin pussy and partyin and still managed to be the best
Para mi...Jason Becker es el mejor...no solo por la forma de tocar que tenia...sino que atravez de todo lo que le ah pasado, el continua su pasion por la musica, no se dio por vencido y hoy a sus 40 años, se puede decir que Becker si es un cabron...la neta
sometimes when i saw people playing like this i feel sad coz i cant play so good, but at the same time it make me want to be better coz i have an oporunity that he doesnt..., i will be lying if i say that i prefer to be like he is now, but definetly i want to be better in his honor... HE WILL ROCK TO THE GODS OF ROCK IN HEAVEN AND BLOW SATANS BRAIN!!!
Quien sabe que hubiera sido hoy en dia, la leyenda clasica de la guitarra, el Maestro que nos ha demostrado amor por la musica clasica, si en los años 80 en un concierto el punteaba con la mano izquierda y con la derrecha jugaba con un yoyo, imaginate que hubiese pasado si actualmente el estuviera tocando, para la epoca debo decir que estaba adelantado, hubiese estado en unos de los maximos exponentes de la historia musical.
amigo de hecho si es de los maximos exponentes musicalesde la historia lastima que no llego a ser el maximo exponente de la guitarra ya a los 50 años seria un nuevo mozart o bach lastimosamente lo ataco esa esclerosis
muy cierto man para mi jason becker era el mejor guitarrista en su epoca tocar balck magic a los 17 años y si uno no comprende como tendiendo tal talento ese don lo ataco esa enfermedad uno se pregunta si no le hubiera pasado seria el mejor guitarrista de los tiempos y no creo exagerar aun enciam de jimmi page o jimy herndrix un vai , un friendam , paul gilbert stevie ray aun encima de ellos pero vale aun nos queda su musica viva siempre Jason Becker!!!
It's a piece like this that gives great insight into Jason's amazing arrangements. Just so crazy that a teenage kid could rip like this... And he is so much more humble than the kids nowadays that can shred half as good as he could.
no i'm not a reall good classical finger picker hahah and i wont dare it too play it just like jason with a pick. thats just scary hahah . But what i mean was if you practice your finger picking technique it should be a way easier too play. Watch john williams , he plays every note perfect
you dont even know who the fuck i am , ridiculous youtube people, i cant even say what i think about a video without some shitty people complain about it.
Usually when I read comments on such perfect playing like here I find words like 'talent, genius etc" ...but we forget about one tiny element ...work :) Now try to imagine how much hard work he must have put into playing ! Nothing comes easily if it is to be perfect. Yeah he was a genius.
@NAThan9871 he is more than a genius,he really does not deserve to be like he is now,he deserves a real place as a real guitar player/muscician/composer
i must say that he could be easly a motivation for anyone
wtf is it with all you guys!? We are supposed to be sharing the love and pursuit of guitar. It is NOT a competition and being able to play well, in any genre, makes you neither better or worse than anyone else! Now I can see why so many people hated being around me when I was younger and used to carry on like this about how good I thought I was. You don't see the really talented pro's acting like this... It's really disappointing to see guys who share the same interest act like little children.
Finally a sane person on youtube! i just tend to ignore people's stupid comments by not even reading them...the're typically all the same, every video people just argue..whats the purpose??
@MrChevyMetcalf Jason is better then everyone else. He was in 1 of the biggest metal bands of the 80's when he was a teen. Took people most of their lives to become that good and big.
He is a son of a bitch? you it instead are! how you allow say so great JASON BECKER! you have taught to Jason playing, well! Who are you? someone you know? NO! then please go to fuck
fuck you turd!, you are english, i am italian it is clear that not so speak well enough English, but You can make it possible to speak badly of Jason, then fuck off, cojones
This song is really rewarding to learn. i had this video of jason on VHS as a kid, & it got me into classical music.....(easy to learn with tabs, if u play at your own pace)
So good. Anybody know what the jazzy/bluesy part he plays in the end is? Is it in the raspberry or blackberry jams? I would love to hear more and to know what chords they are.

Quien sabe que hubiera sido hoy en dia, la leyenda clasica de la guitarra, el Maestro que nos ha demostrado amor por la musica clasica, si en los años 80 en un concierto el punteaba con la mano izquierda y con la derrecha jugaba con un yoyo, imaginate que hubiese pasado si actualmente el estuviera tocando, para la epoca debo decir que estaba adelantado, hubiese estado en unos de los maximos exponentes de la historia musical.

amigo de hecho si es de los maximos exponentes musicalesde la historia lastima que no llego a ser el maximo exponente de la guitarra ya a los 50 años seria un nuevo mozart o bach lastimosamente lo ataco esa esclerosis

It's a piece like this that gives great insight into Jason's amazing arrangements. Just so crazy that a teenage kid could rip like this... And he is so much more humble than the kids nowadays that can shred half as good as he could.

this piece should not be played with a pick, than its almost fuckin impossible , with fingerpicking you can play it a lot cleaner and nicer

no i'm not a reall good classical finger picker hahah and i wont dare it too play it just like jason with a pick. thats just scary hahah . But what i mean was if you practice your finger picking technique it should be a way easier too play. Watch john williams , he plays every note perfect

Usually when I read comments on such perfect playing like here I find words like 'talent, genius etc" ...but we forget about one tiny element ...work :) Now try to imagine how much hard work he must have put into playing ! Nothing comes easily if it is to be perfect. Yeah he was a genius.

Indeed, his technique and execussion were not just talent but hard work. Now, his compositions an musicality came from far beyond...

Bach's Prelude in E-Maj 1006a.
There's sheet music for it for classical guitar, you should be able to transpose it for electric guitar quite quickly with tapping and all.

@NAThan9871 he is more than a genius,he really does not deserve to be like he is now,he deserves a real place as a real guitar player/muscician/composer
i must say that he could be easly a motivation for anyone

wtf is it with all you guys!? We are supposed to be sharing the love and pursuit of guitar. It is NOT a competition and being able to play well, in any genre, makes you neither better or worse than anyone else! Now I can see why so many people hated being around me when I was younger and used to carry on like this about how good I thought I was. You don't see the really talented pro's acting like this... It's really disappointing to see guys who share the same interest act like little children.

@MrChevyMetcalf Jason is better then everyone else. He was in 1 of the biggest metal bands of the 80's when he was a teen. Took people most of their lives to become that good and big.
