jason becker - little piece of 'air'

[MsTj1212]

Wow he makes it look so easy~~~ Perfection at its best~

[meatforyourmom]

well said "minpinful". took the words right outta my fingers..

[chriselsworthy]

awesome

[jakethegimp2]

Who would win in a fight between Stephen Hawking and Jason Becker?

[MartyFriedmanRulez66]

@jakethegimp2 That's not even fucking funny you ass clown

[deathadder2006]

@jakethegimp2

my moneys on hawking. he would intimidate becker with his predator look.....then drool on him

[Swedguy97]

@deathadder2006 Yeah but Jason would shred a guitar up his ass using his eyes ;)

[TheSolistguitar]

The first 7 seconds are harmonics?

[jordelagu]

@TheSolistguitar Hell yeah!

[JeffLiuth]

400k :)

[shamytahuer]

always thought it was two guitar playing.. But is only Jason.. Amassing..

[WoWintosh]

@RicardoGuitar100

I didn't think you could recover from ALS, I thought it was something you just have for life

[wonejopascua]

watch?v=_tsWSLAm348

[WoWintosh]

@RicardoGuitar100

Where did you hear this?

[aabhishek88]

the 16 dislikes???/they should be pelted to death by

stones

[HillaryHitler]

Stay tuned for NOT DEAD YET coming out SOON!

[600396]

someone could put the tab of the first 10 seconds?

[RamsesCairoC]

Coño que maldita tragedia que un GENIO como Jason Becker este condenado a no mover un dedo !!!

Damn, is a f ing tragedy that a GENIUS like Jason Becker is condemned to don't move one finger !!!

Anyway you inspire me EVERYDAY and I LOVE YOU ◄

De tosas formas tu me inspiras a DIARIO y TE AMO ◄

[duendeflamenco87]

@RamsesCairoC now put down on your knees and suck his cock

ahora arrodíllate y chúpasela

[RamsesCairoC]

@duendeflamenco87 Wao! me impresiona tu ignorancia y tu falta de educacion, ante una demostracion de respeto y admiracion de un guitarrista a uno de sus idolos quien tragicamente sufre, wao que gusano eres!!!!

[duendeflamenco87]

@RamsesCairoC :P tienes razón, en verdad yo pienso de la misma manera. Solo que a veces ando de castroso! haha Disculpa amigo y sí, Becker es muy bueno. Saludos

[CabinaTelefonica]

I'm loving it,

[MuhammadSweepmez]

@minpinful lol fail troll.

[manonmagiccarpet]

I wish so badly that jason still had the ability to play today. Imagine all the amazing songs that he would have composed.

[khalid7377]

No one's ever going to play it like Jason.

An absolute genius.He was so young yet so so so incredibly talented.

[tylerweichel]

LOL 15 people that disliked this need to evaluate how pathetic they are - JB is a genius, period.

[shenkeey]

@tylerweichel You mean Jason Becker right? Not Justin Bieber? =/

If you mean Jason Becker, then you're absolutely correct! :)

[kingv911]

@minpinful I do not understand trolls. I know they get off somehow on being completely useless, irritating morons; but, I have trouble finding out how being a douchebag would bring joy to them. Someday when they're old and about to die they can look back on how much of a tool they were and that nobody genuinely liked them.  Pretty enticing....

[irishsetterarchie]

I Thessalonians 4:17 (AIR) !

I Thessalonians chapters 4 and 5

Be well Jason and peace and much love to your family and your many friends.

Shalom!

[irishsetterarchie]

@minpinful NO.....Jason loves the light! ....You sir apparently prefer the darkness because that is about the darkest comment you could possibly have come up with.

[moonsault2506123]

makes that guitar sound like a harpsichord.

[moonsault2506123]

jason making an uncool looking guitar,sound totally cool!.

[kingv911]

@minpinful nope, this guy who has way more talent and recognition than you'll ever have has lived more than 20 years with a disease that usually claims peoples' lives within 5 years. He spent his life pushing the limits of electric guitar, you spend your life on youtube watching videos you apparently do not even like and trolling like a 12 year old. If all humans were like you we'd be all be dead within a year.

[irishsetterarchie]

@kingv911 Poor little dude....lost his way to the basement!!

[Niallphillips]

@minpinful GET A LIFE

[HillaryHitler]

@DANizDAN

WHAT?

[XgiantXrectumX]

you know whats funny i always said that buy 19-20 i would be able to do he stuff im 21 now and the stuff i can do now he probably learned do it when he was 15-16

[osborne1971]

Jason Becker is a true shredder with taste! This video proves it. Thanks for posting!

[5horsemen]

Oh MASTER!

youre the best...beautiful!

[solosmatias]

the best..

[MrZovar]

When I first heard this guy i thought he was older & by the time I am as old as him I will be as good. 2wice as old as he was in this video, and wondering why i'm nowhere near as good as him! Love you JB!

[rizan90]

; )

[plaws79]

Amazing

[signupsanj]

Sahi ho... Dawg!!!

[iaimstraight]

so beautiful, love it...

[wifeSmasher3797]

@minpinful

what a dick jew

[000Z9A]

need to play a piece of air for music school..awesome song..

[ryudragon12]

i wish i could get a little piece of his air

[miyavizim]

I hope he dies soon, all that suffering..will end..

[guitarnub3]

@miyavizim Dude that's pretty messed up.

[tsunami2011]

@miyavizim hes composing a new album. and come on! technology must advance to where they can fix him!

[SpaceDyeDream]

@miyavizim

Have you read his journals? He is a very spiritual person and enjoys living. I'm certain he doesn't want to leave this world yet.

[NicoEmma1]

I can't help to think : How unfair is life. This guy can't move a finger anymore.

[sweet23feet]

If you dont like Jason Becker, youre going straight to hell. no questions.

[xX0Jota0Xx]

did he die?

[SoulGuitarMan]

@xX0Jota0Xx nope, just has ALS at the moment

[SEVENTHSON89]

Jason should do a G1 tour instead of G3...

[eddietheheadful]

It sucks.... He should be doing G3 with Satriani and Vai. God Bless Jason Becker

[bajsbajsbajsify]

@eddietheheadful Satriani and Vai are not worthy of him

[anival2sorto]

I am so upset ASL got to him why Jason :'(

[HillaryHitler]

Knowing that this talented person's soul was stepped on by ALS makes you sick when all the useless drug addicts pollute our streets everyday.

[partyongarth420]

@HillaryHitler u sound like a yuppie christian,..  thats life isnt it.. sometimes people get cancer at age 30 sometimes they get rare diseases. lifes not always fare. fag

[HillaryHitler]

@partyongarth420

It is FAIR moron, smoke some more weed. Like I said USELESS drug addicts!

[MaxvergaxS]

@HillaryHitler Dont feed the troll

[sanjinator17]

@partyongarth420 fair*

[partyongarth420]

oh yea and this piece is cool. its good.. but ygnwie malmsteen is still 5 times better minimum.. eat some of that shit .everyone

[Raakiszh]

@HillaryHitler Wow... your username certainly suits your inhumanity.

[HillaryHitler]

@Raakiszh

If your brain was as large as your AFRO you might be able to offend someone on You Tube.

Nice Try TROLL wannabe LOL

[Raakiszh]

@HillaryHitler Yeah, I don't really have a 'fro anymore. I just realised however that it is pointless to continue this "discussion" with you.

[HillaryHitler]

@Raakiszh

SOUNDS GOOD, because you trying to troll is like winning the Special Olympics, when you are finished you're still a FUCKING RETARD!

[musiccalgary]

@HillaryHitler They are no associated Hitler. Stop trying to make Jason's glory your soapbox of hate.

[HillaryHitler]

@musiccalgary What was that Grammar god?

[Nevigo]

@HillaryHitler

What has Jasons unfortunate situation with ALS to do with addicts?!?Its not their fault he became sick you know?Or you just dont like people that has been unfortunate enough to be addicts?Sheshh..

[HillaryHitler]

@Nevigo

LOL?

WHAT?



[HillaryHitler]

@Nevigo

Are you truly so dumb that you CAN NOT understand my post?

Here is an example you MIGHT understand;

Children die all the time for no fault of their own, while crack addicts break into homes and steal shit.

[Zekemis]

@HillaryHitler except for the ganuga :D

[twistedengineering]

@HillaryHitler I was thinking that today....

[stilianbulgarian]

this is imposible to play

[MudShark85]

@stilianbulgarian no doubt. that intro to air is hard as fuck

[yourmaker74]

@stilianbulgarian

I CAN HAHAHAH YESSSSSSSSSS...so no it's not impossible.

[D1vid3By0]

I can remember when i was able to play most of the songs on the perpetual burn CD.... then i woke-up...

Seriously, I can't even begin to comprehend his talent. He did ALL of this ALL of it before 20. absolute genius, like a Paganini , Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi fusion.

[farfa15]

@D1vid3By0 Very well said. Indeed.

[dvpkid]

im 20. and in 5 life times i will never be this good

[tabotabojayar]

@D1vid3By0 seriously you're damn right...i cannot express how much i admire his talent...dammit...im 19 and haven't even finished a complete composition,,,he's just PURE GENIUS...idk, but seriously i cannot imagine where the hell did those notes he's playing came from......

[JoeAuriun]

@minpinful I know you're just trolling but I thought I'd throw a couple things out there.

This was an age before tab and the internet, you couldn't go on youtube for some lessons or anything. Not only that, but the fact that he blows every other guitarist straight out of the water.

Secondly, minpinful I'd like to see what you look like after you get his disease.

[wancologypark]

Great！

His beautiful sound moves me.

[Droogie1971]

They're making a movie!! - Check it out on Facebook - Jason Becker Movie: Perpetual Burn

[MrDoublepumpchump]

modern day mozart

[ioannisdenton]

ALS.. SO fair this happened to him... why not some scumbag???? why NOT a politician????

[Animeoverlord00]

Like the innocence of a child :'( Please get better some day Jason Becker. Curse ALS!

[tallicafan250169]

Kill me and take me to heaven so I can see Jason Becker play guitar again.

[megadethrulez1]

@tallicafan250169

He's not dead yet. :s

[tallicafan250169]

@megadethrulez1 Yea I know, but hes older than me by a lot so he'll die before me.

[sonicrod87]

weird shit has been happenin, everywhere i seem to recognize this image of becker, or maybe is it him? um anyway it could be paganini too,, anyway you know what i mean, ... stuck on the floor disguising itself as gum the image is in the gum, the gum makes the image,,.i dont know what it is.... . objects flying out of the washroom, i know anyone wouldnt believe me, but i tell you,.. . this is happening to me,.. . .. and i am a very talented musician, , could they be calling me?!???????

[homestar421]

@sonicrod87 dude stop smoking weed before you post shit on youtube lol

[neggrofunk]

una reliquia

[ironbrea]

his fingers are like divine spiders....

with long, LONG legs

[B94241]

Air is his masterpiece. Jason Becker, master of arpeggios.

[skwisgaarandtoki69]

@olileking he is arguably the best guitarist that ever lived

[olileking]

This guy was going to be the best guitarist in the world, but sadly, a tragic disease hurt him...

[Hardysamnin]

I can play this perfectly....... at about a quater of this speed.

[Escapethehawthorne]

i went to a guitar store the other day and the people there didnt know who jason becker was. i thought i was either going to cry or stab.

[Jagguar20]

Making the bass notes (with the 3 upper strings) while playing the melody is hard as hell. Becker is totally something else.

[joescout]

i know i will get flammed but i wish the would try stem cells on jason

[Nunez87]

does anyone have the correct tabs for this part? all the ones i've found are wrong

[PanterAmetal100]

I play the classical pieces on guitar too! I wish i have webcam to record myself.

[potchie0791130]

becker is a God.,

[gretsch19]

This is becker at his best.

[DylanBStringer91]

Ah, Much Better!!! In The Other Videos I Watched All He Did Was Shred!!! Shred Is Very Boring To Me!!! This Is The Best Jason Becker Video So I've Seen So Far!!!

[theheretic11]

@DylanBStringer91 as far as i am aware he does alot of this sort of thing too... as much as i love a good bit of shred, this is very refreshing and just goes to show his versatility on the guitar with regards to his playing styles :)

[Mymadness88]

master piece

[bonecracker23]

Does someone know what guitar is this ? It looks nice !

[Symeon94]

@bonecracker23 gibson sheraton i think

[MUDSHARK111]

@Symeon94 im going to go for an ibanez copy

[Guinhol10]

Awsome!!!!!  thank Jason.....for beatifull music....

[skwisgaarandtoki69]

@cr250guy hating jason becker is much worse than hating sunshine my friend

[BurnElectric]

DUDE...what's up with all the gay comments, we all know that he's got ALS, it isn't necessary to mention it in every comment

[megadeth9255]

I can't believe out of all the jerkoffs and losers in this world that could have gotten ALS, we are unlucky enough to lose Jason Becker's guitar playing to it. I guess we're lucky enough that he is so kick ass that he can compose with just his eyes...

[SinistrChevy]

Whats stupid is a bunch of jerkoffs arguing about religion on youtube!!!

[MICKEYISLOWD]

@SinistrChevy thats what utube is for ...to make any comment u like is it not?...

[hldemi]

I have to inform you that You tube is for posting and sharing videos

[MICKEYISLOWD]

@hldemi yeah thats kind of what i said.....

[hldemi]

@MICKEYISLOWD Ahahah the concept of sarcasm is a new one :D

[YourMateJosh]

@SinistrChevy

whats stupid is people arguing about religion.

[wilsonmacariano]

LOL! I actually thought that there was more than one guy playing this piece of "air" song! Amazing!

[fxxkuxu]

god.

[yamaha4888]

god was pist off that jason was better than him... so he crippled him

[SadisticAbductive]

Idiot.... god doesn't exist, either way this has to be the most retarded comment that I've seen in a long time.

[tinacomegetsomefood]

@SadisticAbductive saying that God doesb't exist is retarted too

[SadisticAbductive]

maybe for someone who is uneducated and brainwashed... but that doesn't matter.... the guy made a really stupid comment.

[tinacomegetsomefood]

@SadisticAbductive actually i didn't see the comment that was a stupid comment that he left

[komputerLuek]

genius...he is a genius

[aiorosdecut24]

yo la hago en el charango

[alexisXcore93]

i just smile looking this that fraking amazin!!! men hes so talentous

[SpaceDyeDream]

He looks so innocent in this video, what happened to him is not fair.

I hope I reach heaven when I die, because I want to see him play his guitar; he will be there after he dies.

[davidamarat]

Yeah! One of the best guitar player of all time. He brought to us pieces of heaven... someday he returns.

[figaz555]

@SpaceDyeDream

Gay fairy much?

[BarbarosDerby132]

@SpaceDyeDream beautifully stated my friend.

[TimoBaader]

@SpaceDyeDream what happend to him?

[narfire214]

@TimoBaader he got ALS, the the same thing steven hawking has, but jason has it worse

[TimoBaader]

@narfire214 i watched his documentary after this so i know now... man that sucks!

[PabloakaChuck360]

@SpaceDyeDream he will be shredding his ass off trying to compensate the 20+ years without being able to play due to ALS... he will compose and compose...play and play day and night...god himself would ask him if he wants to take a break...but he has too much music in his head waiting to be interpreted by him...

[juari777]

@SpaceDyeDream Jason Becker will be the replacement of Lucifer in Heaven!

[TheFuckyou2394]

@SpaceDyeDream Heaven Doesn't Exist...So Sad..

[MetalHeadBang90]

insane... love it

[100000metal]

the best.

[aaaaaaaaaaafffff]

man, i have a doubt on jason fingering, at 0:11 does he realease his first finger of the first fret (A string) and then he play the 6th fret (E string) with his pink? cause i can´t do this strech with he plays both notes simultaneous...

[dvary89]

@aaaaaaaaaaafffff He doesnt play both notes together. first you play the Bb major 3rd harmonic,and then you strech your pinky to play the high Bb note.

[cr250guy]

hating Jason Becker is like hating sunshine...maybe worse.

[milpoolXXX]

@cr250guy .... Yeah, only necrophiles and communists hate Jason Becker. Speaking badly of him might cause your volition to wane....

[DrunKid]

@cr250guy is it even possible?

[diabeticmonkey]

@cr250guy It's a mortal sin.

[cursedlemon]

@cr250guy So what you're saying is vampires hate Jason Becker. Except Twilight vampires. But they're fags.

[figaz555]

@cr250guy

Get over yourself.

[cr250guy]

@figaz555 you must be the faggy twilight vampire @cursedlemon was speaking of, enjoy your basement troll.

[figaz555]

@cr250guy

Say what..?

[thejuzboi2]

@cr250guy maybe some people do hate sunshine ...... just saying

[azakura1991]

@cr250guy i hate sunshine but i love jason becker =D

[Ledglobote]

@cr250guy i hate sunshine, but way the fuck you think someone hates jason?

[zombie161]

to blamehoffman1 i agree

simply the best

[dvary89]

I watched this vid tons of times and managed to transcribe jason`s fingerings.

He plays most of the fingerpicking section. For the rest I came up with my own fingerings. His fingerings are nothing like what all the existing tabs have. text me if you`re interested in it.

[homestar421]

@dvary89 think you could tab out what you see him playing and send it my way?

[xxOgreLordxx]

fcuk

[BeckerIon38]

the very best!

[BlameHoffman1]

Fuck haters. Jason is simply beast

[xPurpleDrinkx9001]

@BlameHoffman1 i dont think Becker haters even exsist.

[RangRing68]

True!

[RDBeast]

Ahahaha you have no idea what your talking about.
