Jsson Becker was and does 'Epitomize' guitarist greatness, If I could play even half as good as he did I would have much more confidence in my chops, totally without superbly stupendous guitar greatness, can't say enough on "Dweller In The Cellar !"
I've always been so moved by the beautiful opening of this composition. The interweaving of tragedy to hope with the stellar instrumental execution along with the free & fluid drum meter by Atma Anur, - and then of course the song turns to the mysterious sinister route. Brilliant - of course the whole album is a supreme masterpiece. Marty Friedman's "Dragon's Kiss" is a masterpiece as well, and so is Cacophony's 2nd album "Go Off!"
@123MetallicA1234 lol me too i still love metallica but it seems i dont have enough time to listen to all the solo guitarists from the 80's I dont want to miss anyone.
This is for everyone who says all neoclassical guitar players are just speed and no emotion. No way anyone can say this doesn't have emotion and feeling.
I just recently bought Perpetual Burn and its by far my favourite album at the moment. Every song on it is amazing. This album is definitely worth the money!
Jason Becker knew that boring drums can ruin a great guitar track. Yes I'm talking to you, Mr. Satriani...

Another good guitar player, virtuoso since age 10, is the inventor of modern flamenco, Nino Miguel

I think Jason is generally overrated by many as a "virtuoso" shred type of guitarist especially with technical comparisons to Yngwie.
He was a very good guitarist and an excellent composer.
This song imo is his best. The guitar solo is great... sad and dramatic and kind of unexpected for this type of piece. One of my favorites.

@devtimers anyone who compares jason's skills to Yngwie's is underating jason as a virtuoso
torogami2 4 months ago
@devtimers Well, theres not a single thing Yngwie can play that Jason couldn't so I think it is a fair comparison.
As for composition ability Jason simply wipes the floor with Yngwie. Much better all round musician/player

This song has a primal sound to it in my opinion. Not to mention it has fantastic solos, the whole Perpetual Burn album is excellent for that matter.
