  • Please God, give the moviments to Jason back. I'm begging You, I would appreciate a lot. Jason mustn't stay sitted in a chair until his death, I hope one day he could play this song again to all of us before he pass away.

  • Comment removed

  • he is one of those guitarist who make you think what the hell am i doing listening to this i should be practicing

  • The reason I play

  • music is not a gawdamn complexity competition. jason played with a balance of head, hands, and heart and created beautiful music straight from the soul thats why i love it

  • @dominicairola something I loved about Becker and Cacophony was the catchiness- I can think of so many memorable melodies, and a great sense of *fun* with the guitar playing!

  • 0:02 That is such a Yngwie Malmsteen pose. It's cool that Malmsteen was Becker's idol back in high school! Just like me!

  • 9 suckers , deserve one ankh up in their ass .

    Hail Becker .

  • @PedroInfernalOficial  an ankh with spikes!

  • 3:03 GOD!

  • Masterpiece...No more words!

  • People, I'm sorry, but comparing Jason with Bach or Paganini is a dumb thing. Jason Becker is one of the best shred/neoclassical guitarist, but accept this that geniuses like Bach or Paganini are 99999x times more mature,advanced, genius and creative and they play totally different and mnore mature genre - classical, they wrote hundreds of compositions and no one will ever reach their level! Anyway Jason Becker is amazing guitarist, his style is unique, unrepeatable and his music is immortal

  • @Brainthrasher You're kidding me right? Not that it matters, but Bach had 19 children, was a huge alcohol abuser, and was completely nuts, as was Paganini, both were mental nuts out of their minds, yes they composed beautiful music but that was hundreds of years ago much respect to them but give it a hundred or so years and people will be studying Becker and music of the 20th century modern time period instead of Bach and Paganini from the classical and Braoque periods

  • @MartyFriedmanRulez66

    The difference between Becker and Bach/ Mozart etc is that most people can appreciate the original classical composers. Most non guitarists just simply don't want to listen to people like Becker because it bores them stupid after a few tracks, even a lot of guitarists get bored of this real quick. To say any of Beckers compositions come close to the complexity of Mozart or Bach is insane. He's was technically very good and used some of the same ideas, but thats all

  • @jakethegimp2 Give it time I say, also a lot of non guitar players can enjoy relaxing to a lot of what Becker has composed, not to demean you musical knowledge but you seem to be judging him solely on this video and what you have heard about his "shredding" but he's so much more The End Of The Beginning I recommend you look up, in my opinion at the same level as Paganini, and Bach,

  • @MartyFriedmanRulez66

    I had perpertual burn back when it was released 20 some years ago and have heard pretty much all his stuff since then, I'm certainly not judging him on one track, or even one album. I still think he's a great guitarist. I studied piano to professional level and played 'shred' guitar for 20+ years ( including Beckers stuff ), and compositionally Becker doesn't come close to Bach. Study some of Bachs orchestral works and you'd see the difference. Paganini maybe, Bach, no.

  • @MartyFriedmanRulez66

    But the main difference is that mainly it's violinists ( and guitarists ) who now study Paganini. Cellists, woodwind, piano players generally study the true great composers like Bach / Mozart etc who could compose just as well for an entire orchestra as they could for individual instruments. Composing for an orchestra is a different league entirely than a few guitar / keyboard tracks. In future, guitarists will still learn Beckers stuff but that's as far as it will go.

  • @jakethegimp2 just because someone can compose it doesn't mean they can play it though.

  • @MultiAnalRapist

    Mozart was composing at age 5 and was already a prodigy on both piano and violin, and by his teens was regarded as one of the best players in Austria - aside from his abilities to compose. Beethoven was also regarded as a virtuoso player who composed and performed some of his most complicated pieces despite being completely stone deaf - thus being totally unable to hear what he was playing / composing. Bach was also regarded as one of the best organists of his era.

  • @jakethegimp2 but he has also done songs writing music for entire orchestras as well

  • @westjt17

    Yep, but no-one outside of a small group really cares about them, because in all honesty they aren't that accomplished. In 50 years Orchestras will still be playing Bach / Beethoven / Mozart etc, Beckers work will be forgotten by everyone except a percentage of guitar players.

  • @jakethegimp2 im not only talking about classical music....he wrote songs far beyond the knowledge of these composers, sure they will be remembered way more, but becker did more things than any of them.....imo the best guitarist, but im sure ur right about only a percentage of guitarists will know who he is.

  • @westjt17

    Have you studied some of the great composers works? Mozart and Schubert each composed over 1000 works, symphonies, several choral works, string quartets and other chamber music.The complexity and scope of these compositions outweighs Beckers by a huge amount. Becker used arpeggio sequences over 'traditional' chord progressions in most of his tunes. Take the arpeggios out of his playing, and there isn't a whole lot left. He did a couple of great tunes, and a lot of forgetable ones.

  • @westjt17

    I used to be really impressed with Beckers arpeggios, but after I'd learned them, I realised most of them were formulaic - major arpeggio, play 3 steps down arpeggio, move 2 step up arpeggio, play 3 steps down, 2 up. Swap to relative minor chord, repeat pattern. Switch on an arpeggiator in reason and it will come up with pattern exactly like this, and this formed the basis of most of beckers tunes. The only parts that really stand out to me are the opening to altitudes and opus pocus

  • @jakethegimp2 some of his songs did do this...mostly his work when he was very young, like 17......some stuff got more complicated- listen to electric prayer for peace, river of longing, black stallion, jasin street, of course serrana (which has a few interesting changes in it and all the cacophony work. it was amazing wat he did in his short period of time of playing....also try to learn his exotic arps and learn serrana, ur fingers will fall off!!!

  • Jason is most likely the best guitar player I know. Most people I know would say Hendrix or Frusciante, but Jason is just so dastardly good. Every time I listen to one of his songs its mind blowing. Makes me even want to go practice for a couple hours. Live on Jason, God bless for the masterpieces.

  • @Richski579 exactly his music and work are so inspirational from music field this man should be awarded by different nobel prizes as well he is a legend . best musician or guitarist for me .

  • one of the best songs ever written musically!!!

  • John Frusciante writes terrible songs and he's even worse live

  • Funny thing is that MoonMoney compares an average guitar aka John Frusciante player to shredders like Jason Becker and Marty Friedman. Frusciante is not even 1/10 of their speed.

  • @hugawandiay speed isn't everything, not a Frusciante fan, but that fag from A7X and the dumbasses from Dragonforce are faster then Friedman too does that make em better??? Frusciante is a great guitar player, not technically gifted but his songs are cool, trippy, a modern day Hendrix if you will, there is no greatest guitarist, only a lot of really good ones

  • I hope you guys know Jason probably wouldn't appreciate everyone comparing his music to others as if this were a tournament. He actually does read youtube comments from time to time (hardcore fan fact). We're here because we love his stuff, not so we can convince others how good he is and how much better than _______ guitarist he is. JUST ENJOY THE MUSIC lol!

  • This was a joint piece with Marty, its fuckin excellent.

  • Hey people, we cannot forget the fabulous Frank Zappa!

  • @pedroiniesta88 you're correct partner! we shall not forget him!

  • @hugawandiay Slash and Frusciante are good guitarist because they have been in great bands...while Hendrix, Vaughan and Page are on another level....Frusciante without Red Hot is nothing.

  • Jimi Hendrix, Steve Ray Vaughan, Slash, Jimmy Page are good guitarists...and Jason Becker too!

  • @pedroiniesta88 slash who? overrated

  • The bluesy solo at the end is played by Marty Friedman

  • @hugawandiay

    Yes, that John Frusciante. The John Frusciante that applies the classic, "When words fail, music speaks."

    His music is the definition of feeling, sir. Look, anyone can teach you how to seep pick, finger tap, etc. It just takes time and practice, BUT NO ONE can teach you how to feel.

  • @XxChivasFanxX So you say Jason Becker doesn't feel? U cant compare Frusciante to Becker. Becker is miles ahead of every guitar player I have ever listened to. Only Marty Friedman is on a same level. Imagine what would be if Jason had never gotten ALS.

  • @XxChivasFanxX Do you, by any chance, have an alternate YouTube as MoonMoney1?

  • @XxChivasFanxX Jason Becker already had the feel before even Hillel Slovak died lol

  • Comment removed

  • i love blues part :D

  • stop feeding the troll please?

  • id rather listen satriani anyday!!!better tones just pure shredding gets old.try andy timmons.he is pretty sick!!!

  • @MARK98203 I get what your sayin satriani is my favorite, saw him live on his last tour, but jason becker uses much more creative and unique compositional techniques. Joe's music makes me feel good and is good to listen to and feel, but becker makes me think.

  • @skolnick14 i like them all in different ways but i have a new favorite.guthrie govan, this guyis absolutely unreal cant believe i never discoverd him till about a month ago wow!!!

  • @MARK98203 yeah guthrie owns. he can do anything!

  • @skolnick14 hey man just checked out your vid pretty damn good yourself!!!keep it up and maybe your name will be in all these arguments.lol

  • @MARK98203 thanks man but I doubt it...It's harder to make it as a shred guitarist in todays music industry. But yeah I'm tryin so who knows? That sure would be nice.

  • when you talk with a musician and ask him about jason becker he will answer you yeah he is very good but if you ask about john frusciante he will answer you who is that guy?

  • In my opinion, Jason is the only musician who reach the level of classical musicians like bach, mozart, paganini etc.

  • bestial  brutal

  • Moon money intentionally trolls people who listen to good music, and then responds without any sort of argument. I dont see how you people cant tell he is just trolling based off of his profile. The fact that he knows jason becker exists, means he is a fan of Becker.

  • lol moonmoney1 is very infamous maybe that bitch doesnt have friends thats why she is always trolling on jason becker

  • @ryudragon12

    He isnt even a girl, its all an act.

  • he is so amazing! then and now.

  •  <3

  • you guys please stop. Moonmoney1 has the right to their personal opinion even if you disagree it only prolongs the amount of time we all see their name on this video's comments if you keep feeding the troll with retarded statments like "you mad bro?" And MoonMoney1 please let it go. There is no need to defend Yngwie's guitar playing/musical career he's a big boy and can do it himself.

  • 3:03 to 3:12, Marty Friedman!

  • @xx2n23 Okay, bye bye.

  • @xx2n23 yay. 

  • @xx2n23 Yngwie Malmsteen.

  • @MoonMoney1 wtf yngwie is good but way too overrated and the only thing he does is arpeggiate chord progressions

  • @1bol1 He pioneered the genre, while Jason Becker is just a crappy imitation.

  • @MoonMoney1 *sigh*, you are a sad human being, i pity you for your extreme ignorance. so what if he pioneered the genre, it doesen't mean he's better or more creative, i bet you don't even play guitar. if money and fame is everything, then justin bieber is talented. you are a horrible person. yngwie is boring and so is john and lil wayne is a stupid nigger. yes i just said the n-word i don't give a fuck my mom is a nigger too, anyway you suck at life and you shouldn't be alive.

  • @1bol1 I play guitar, and I'm better than Jason and Yngwie at it. Yngwie is boring, you're right, but Jason Becker is too. 

  • @MoonMoney1

    Fag.

  • @GrizCC You mad.

  • @MoonMoney1

    no :(

  • @GrizCC Yep.

  • @MoonMoney1

    o :(

  • @MoonMoney1 Hey MoonMoney, how has your day been? :)

  • @n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns Pretty good.

  • @MoonMoney1 Well that's nice. :) I love you baby. :)

  • @n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns I love me too.

  • @MoonMoney1 Who wouldn't? you're so awesome! :)

  • @n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns Yeah, I am. 

  • @MoonMoney1 Why did you put a 1 at the end of your name? Why not just MoonMoney? :o

  • @n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns That name was taken.

  • @MoonMoney1 Oh Im sorry. So why do you hate Jason Becker?

  • @n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns Because he makes awful music.

  • @MoonMoney1 Who do you like? :)

  • @n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns I like good music.

  • @MoonMoney1 Like?

  • @n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns Good music. 

  • @MoonMoney1 John Frusciante?

  • @n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns Yeah, he's better than Jason Becker.

  • @MoonMoney1 Well he is NOW.

  • @n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns Always was.

  • @MoonMoney1 i hope you are getting paid to do this 

  • @donttouchmycar Maybe.

  • @MoonMoney1 Why doesn't John Frusciante have a solo album?

  • @n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns That was any good?

  • @n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns He has several solo albums.

  • @MoonMoney1 His solo album was rather slow and boring to me.

  • @MoonMoney1 MoonMoney1, Y U NO REPLY TO MY COMMENTS?!

  • @n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns Because she realizes the fact that she is an ignorant moron with no musical talent.

  • @n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns

    Summerfag.

  • @D1vid3By0  Gay?

  • @n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns

    stop being a newfag and go learn to properly troll. Lurk moar faggot.

  • @D1vid3By0 A faggot is a bundle of sticks :)

  • @n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns

    mfw you actually are a bundle of sticks... mfw you say that i don't have a mfw...

  • @D1vid3By0 I thought I was human :l

  • @n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns

    It's okay i forgive you but you must understand that you are not a person. I don't appreciate timber goofing around on my internetz. I had a question for you know that i know what you really are, when you wake-up every morning is it considered morning wood?

  • @D1vid3By0 Trick question :) I never sleep...

  • @n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns

    fuck, you got me.

  • @D1vid3By0 Sir are you a troll? Cuz I just fed you all of my wood :)

  • @xx2n23 You can compare musicians in different genres. Like how Kanye West is far more creative and has done more for hip-hop in the past decade than Megadeth has for metal.

  • @xx2n23 No, in the end songwriting is all that matters. Creativity and skill or only good if paired with good songwriting. The one with the best songwriting is better.

  • @xx2n23 Experienced listeners like myself are able to know which artists are better than others. Inexperienced listeners (Jason Becker fans, for example) are unable to do this.

  • @xx2n23 "If there was only right answer in your case then music would all be the same."

    LOL, please elaborate that one further.

  • No more comments,just listen to the music Jason created.

  • @xx2n23 That's because they're fanboys/fangirls and of course won't admit that they are actually wrong.

  • @xx2n23 No, what I say about music is correct. The tons of time I spend listening to music and studying music makes me very knowledgeable about the subject.

  • @xx2n23 I am teaching them about music. The "don't say ____" comments are always what people say when they don't someone to point out the obvious answer. It's like saying "what's 2+2? and don't say 4!"

  • @xx2n23 Because he writes awful music.

  • @xx2n23 Not if it's Jason Becker. 

  • @xx2n23 Only if they write crappy music as well.

  • @xx2n23 Nursing.

  • Moonmoney is the best troll I've seen in a long time. That or schizo with a laptop.

  • @moonmoney: frusciante is good, but better than becker ??????

    lolololololiololololololoololo­o

    please tell me wich drugs you use. they must be a total brain-fuck

  • The fun part is moonmoney using John Frusciante agaisnt Jason Becker, its like going to war with a baloon.

  • @Ramboaction man a ballon at war can be very persuasive

  • i listen and compared john to marty and jason .. never is he as fast and clean and unique and amazing and pumping ... johns just slow .. basic .. boring .. repetetive

  • dont listen to moonmoney .. shes entertained by people dying its on the side of her page

  • everyone quit fighting you're all retarted. show some respect to Jason Becker

  • in every jason becker vid, theres a troll on the coment section

    jason is an amazing musician and very strong person, i bet you cant do what he did in his life, so shut the fuck up

  • @primozuado I dont agree with people who doesnt think of Jason as of a great artist but still i think every1 should have a chance to say what he thinks. Even if he's wrong.

  • Everyone say thanks to moonmoney1 she/he made us heard Jason Becker a lot of times and now its better than the first time we heard this and now we know that jason has many fans protecting him from "experts" Jason created music to breed our souls with his music not to breed trolls with our comments

  • I look at the comments and i said wow maybe there are some awesome comments like jason is the best or jason was too much for the earth but no everyone is fighting

    so what is the point on turn on the computer and see jason on youtube if you are going to fight over his music or even something that isnt on the music

  • @moonmoney: What's a music "expert"? Something new they have in Canada? Excuse me, but I suggest you label yourself a "critic" instead. Everyone's one anf you'll sound less a retard and more an overopinionated loser. Blah blah blah, you just keep spewing your thoughts on this page like it's diarrhoea.

  • @bowmasuko: ooh, closet homo. Freud would have fun with you. At least come out in the open, tomboy. The use of the word 'bow' in your sig is interesting. Who's masuko? Your cellmate, you pencil neck d*ck?

  • @MoonMoney: I think you're unable to follow the music because of the constantly changing tonal centre. It's kind of like how my parents hate distortion. You're just unable to follow what's happening. Still, that's no reason to disrespect Jason Becker, irregardless of what you think his "achievements" are. Money isn't everything. What I like about his playing is the emotion in it. I'm sure you've read about his tragic life. That shouldn't change anything, but show some character, if not heart kid

  • @MechanEvil No, I'm a music expert so I know what's going it. He just does it horribly.

    Yes, there is reason to disrespect him, because, objectively, his music is terrible.

  • @MoonMoney1 you cunt, you don't know anything about music, john fruciante or however his stupid name spelled sucks ass. and jason and marty DO play with feeling, litsen too 'Jewel', Valley of Eternity, Tornado of souls, etc. and you're basically saying that no matter how good a song is, it sucks because it doesen't have feeling. and if you play shit it is good if it has feeling. i'm sorry but it doesen't work that way

  • @1bol1 You're clearly not very intelligent. Objectively, John Frusciante is much better than Marty Friedman and Jason Becker.

    All those songs you listed lack feeling. If you listen to enough music, you'll understand. Clearly you know nothing about music.

  • @MoonMoney1 *sigh* you fucking troll john fruciante plays thesame shit all over again, how can you say Jewel lack feeling YOU don't know anything about music and that's why you troll people who do know music

  • @1bol1 No, that's actually Jason Becker.

  • @MoonMoney1 it's people like you who starts feuds among metalheads, you say you like metallica but i highly doubt that. i love metallica but jason and marty is far more talented and than kirk and that's a fact. You think john is better because of his choice of playing less notes because of lack of talent. Less notes doesen't mean feeling. John is just slow, basic, boring and repetetive. Marty and Jason are fast, slow, advanced, versatile and exiting.so fuck you woman go back to the kitchen.

  • @MoonMoney1 but why is John Frusciante better than Marty Friedman and Jason Becker? give me a good comparison

  • @dvpkid "Because they don't play with feeling and Jason can't move" that is a typical moonmoney1 answer, oh and this is something else she might add so she won't answer you seriously "BTW you're supposed to capitalize words in the beginning of a sentence kiddo". Oh well I'm glad moonmoney1 is here. I get dinner and a show by listening to this masterpiece and watching that moron make a retarded no life out of herself. Gotta love the internet :D

  • @dvpkid John is more diverse and never forgets the importance of song writing.

  • @MoonMoney1 Take your bad trolling somewhere else, we dont need it here

  • @Fabbe87 I'm not trolling, I'm talking about music.

  • @xx2n23 Okay, see ya!

  • @xx2n23 Okay, you go think that. I don't care. I'm going to keep teaching people about music.

  • @xx2n23 Nope. 

  • @xx2n23 Yeah, but I don't care.

  • @xx2n23 Don't know. I hate most warm drinks.

  • @xx2n23 I don't drink tea.

  • @xx2n23 No, that's not me. I am pretty though.

  • @xx2n23 Girl.

  • @xx2n23 No, I'm teaching people stuff about music.

  • @xx2n23 I don't care if they don't agree.

  • @xx2n23 I'm spreading my musical knowledge onto others.

  • @xx2n23 Of course I would. 

  • @xx2n23 I don't think so.

  • @xx2n23 No, what I say about music is correct.

  • @MoonMoney1 Automatic fail due to arrogance, -10 internets for you.

  • @telecoustic000 Nope, that just means I win.

  • @MoonMoney1 Nope, arrogance in music is the biggest fail a musician can make. It's what sets apart people who really can jam from people who have to play in their basement because they're so cocky no one wants to hear them. I agree with your point, one of my favourite guitarists is John Frusciante, but I'm not going around shoving him down other people's throats.

  • Comment removed

  • @quinkish No, actually everything I've said about music is 100% fact.

    Also, I've never deleted any comments on my channel. Sounds like you're just mad because you keep getting owned. I'll add you to the list.

  • Comment removed

  • @quinkish I like how you're trying to sound smart, yet can't tell the difference between "your" and "you're."

  • @MoonMoney1

    I can tell the difference, but Im not writing an essay that's going to be marked by an examiner so petty little mistakes don't bother me. Im not trying to sound smart I just know how to write properly, and if we are going to be pathetic and point each others mistakes out; Its "you're". not "you're."

  • Comment removed

  • @quinkish lol, you mad. 

  • @MoonMoney1

    Not anymore; I was mad at you, now I pity you.
