[juanjognr]

i love you Jason... and i'm a man!!!

[DevaXfish]

love you Jason

[dafypk]

This is way better than Nyan Cat

I hope it gets more views than that.

[TheGuitarTheory]

Jason you're the best. There are people who could never play half of the notes you thought of. You will always be an inspiration and a guitar god to us musicians. We are lucky to experience someone so beautiful such as yourself. I love you Jason, we love you Jason. You are perfect in every single way.

[compton483]

its a LEGEND

[NailsForDinner]

Holy motherfuck, 0:49. That note, that is why I love Jason's music. Who ever played this track played it as perfectly a Jason would. Jason's music is eternal!

[slashy04]

@NailsForDinner it's steve vai

[irishsetterarchie]

@Cardrigd It's his Spirit that soars!!!

[oooledzeppelinooo]

Steve Vai and Marty Friedman play in this song...amazing

[SuperRetroTech]

This intro has some of the most feeling that I have ever heard any rock organ portray. Class A composing skills. Keep that burn perpetual, Jason...

[cheese0tron]

this is jason playing right?

[djangido]

@cheese0tron Jason's soul is playing this through the hands of Steve Vai and Marty Friedman.

[skyguitar]

this version was played by steve vai and Marty friedman suckers!!

[irishsetterarchie]

@skyguitar Jason has two great friends in Steve and Marty. Through thick and through thin these guys have hung in!!!! Go easy on cheeseOtron....he or she just dialed in!

[Beckerooski]

Good to hear. I am happy for you!

-Jason

[DevaXfish]

@Beckerooski love you jason, you compose surch unreal music, thats wonderful (^_^)

music=love

[arrestedshrimp]

is this the new or old version?

[CyValkarion]

@arrestedshrimp It's a newer version. I think it's played either by Satch or Vai.

[CobHatecrewNor]

@CyValkarion i bet that if its a newer song, then Michael Lee Firkins probobly recorded the guitars for him.

[CyValkarion]

@CobHatecrewNor Michael Lee Firkins is incredible. I love his sound. and yeah he did a lot of recording for Jason.

[hideyasoki]

@CyValkarion looks like Satch to me

[UrbanAssault5150]

i think Jason is the the number one person on Earth.......... He is

[flowwiththeblood]

God... every time I hear this song I feel like I want to cry

[CyValkarion]

@flowwiththeblood i cry to half his songs, if not more. just let it out. it's harder to hear the music though.

[coolfire77]

@CyValkarion I absolutely agree...

[hetfield44]

Simplemente el mejor! Todo lo q hace, aún en su condición... El mejor, Jason! Su historia es digna de hacer en película

[mrmejon]

if anyone knows of anybody or any way i could get this tabbed out i would be so grateful

[kimpani]

Try to use your ear man, i know its hard when you are not used to it, but believe me it is so worth training your ears. you get more creative and doesnt have to depend on tabs all the time

[Guitareben]

@mrmejon ye, use your ear ^^ much harder work, but it is really helpfull for becoming a better musician. oh and this jason becker is amazing!

[Guitareben]

@mrmejon ye, use your ear ^^ much harder work, but it is really helpfull for becoming a better musician. oh and this jason becker is amazing!

[rammyrake]

the first solo has vai written all over it! great stuff!

[LP4ever13]

It s definitely Marty....You can actually hear his vibrato.....Excellent song anyway!!!!for one more time,thank you Jason!!!

[JasonBecker85]

the best...

[danseq]

Hi Folks,

I coproduced this song with Jason.

While Jason is a big fan of Paul Gilbert, he does not appear on this song. The first solo is Steve Vai, the second is Marty and is in two sections, but both Marty.

Thanks for the nice comments and please support Jason by buying the CD!

-Dan

[UrbanAssault5150]

@danseq

cool man i talk to jason some on his website he is a god my hero i swear if i won the lotto i would give it all to jason

[CyValkarion]

@UrbanAssault5150 i would use some of it to buy his signature series stuff first.

[zakk9191]

Well, someone here already has the Collections CD..and it is beyond words, (or melodies, for that matter!!) to say the least. Thank You, Jason....one more life that you've touched.

[Alexander1991]

Damn this touches me, i feel so sad yet so happy that there is someone out there to show you that no matter how much crap "god" throws at you, some still refuse to die and do what they feel they we're put on earth to do. I mean Jason is really against all odds, and still he makes music that's THIS brilliant and it really is, handicapped or not this is truely great. Jason is the best, i'd rather listen to this than to a bunch of Steve Vais songs. And i love Steve vai, but i love Jason too ! :D

[phenixer]

steve vai does a part of this song. Becker Forever1!11!!11

[LaurenceMehlhorn]

Very well written and composed, all kind of things can be done with this, Its one of those instrumentals that really inspire ideas....for creation of other instumentals...Its one of those instumentals one would love to solo over...Very well written...

[Zeledi]

[SLAYTANICgrowler]

i can't find words to describe Jason's music...

[1madaboutguitar]

Neither can I, I guess the closest you can ever get to describing it is to play it yourself

[joeydemon138]

my biggest inspiration, not only in music but in the will to go on. this man is purely fantastic. long live jason becker \m/

[mysticalzero]

Stevie sure made the very first part, and sure Marty is playing the second part on this one, his v

[SirJamestheIII]
