i really think lick library should do a jason becker dvd. he was one of the greatest untillou gehrig's disease got the best of him, i would buy a copy for sure, he is an inspiration to many
@rolz420 its not he tries to avoid using it its just the way he developed his playing style , he has a big strecth between 1st and 3rd fingers - its just how he plays
Man... every time i watch amazing guitarists like this, it kind of makes me want to die a little lol great piece.. just wish i were anything close to that good haha
Watching non teenagers play their own stuff is nice for a change. it gives me hope that i'll be able to get through uni and further education without giving up my guitar which is basicially my entire teenage life
I really liked 2:25-2:50, 4:00-4:40 but I feel that the rest lacked in melody, and was a bit repetitive. Though, I may be mistaking that as part of a verse. If so, than nice work on a total mindf*** of a song.
Just when I start to get a feel for sweep picking, this guy comes along and through his guitar says to me "Go home little bitch"......im in the corner crying right now lol
Lotta tapping in this, and I'm not a huge fan of that technique.. but the way he does those multiple taps on the sweeps is innovative! Might buy this soon..
@rrryyytttiiisss agreed, but if you're referring to him not using the 7th B string, its since this is for a DVD, he has to use the standard tuning, because not everyone can tune to like B standard to learn this haha.
danny gill, andy james - these guys make lick library so famous. Make a dvd "how to play disturbed" and i wont ever hesitate getting platinum membership.
@krivatakirka Thumb-picks aren't as practical...I mean if all you did was JUST tap, then yea, get a thumb-pick.. but Andy does much more than this, so it would hinder some other techniques, like pinch harmonics which are almost a necessity in the rock guitar/metal style.
