  • Jason is pretty boss but in this era there is only one... ANDY JAMES!!! Hes like all my fav guitar players put together.

  • WTF ???

    this Is Jason becker Not kirk ,to do top 10 blablabla

    all of his songs are awesome :p

    we all love You Jason

  • jason the best--jason el mejor, jason is god -- jason es dios,,,

  • Altitudes is such a masterpiece !

  • The outro solo to Eleven Blue Egyptians has always been one of my favorites. Real bluesy. That kid had so much attitude and flare packed into his playing.

  • You have included Cacophony solo's in this video and although i am aware that Jason was one of the members of that group along with Marty Friedman don't understand how you could call this a top 10 Jason Becker solo's video.

  • Altitudes is the best song from Jason Becker and its solo is wonderful. Great choice, i completely agree. (sorry for my English)

  • I totally agree. 100% aff all what is the best!!!

  • el primero deberia ser el ultimo solo de la cancion mables fatal fable :(

  • I thought The Ninja was Marty's solo.

  • good souls metal solo's.

  • mas que un prodigio :'D

  • some of these were marty and him idt they would count... and nah wrong solo for altitudes lol its the first sweep he makes with the piano in the back... nothing but pure beauty i believe

  • Awesome,crazy (in the good way).Just incredible.

  • If Jason can still perform, he will give Malmsteen a run for his money and even some of the top current guitarist.This guy ROCKS period!! What a cruel blow fate hand it to him. With all the medical advances I wish him a speedy recovery as the world will always need another topnotch guitarist.

  • I think the solo at 3:20 is Marty's actually.

  • 2 SORDOS!!!!!

  • DIOS!

    

  • Ah! You didn't play the better Dweller in the Cellar solo that appears in the end! It's okay, I still had to wipe the jizz off my screen when the video ended.

  • @goodygoody23 I'm sure Jason wouldn't want his fans to show their appreciation by commenting about how he makes them jizz....

    Well, in a more respectful opinion, I think Jason is a one of a kind individual. Very few play as fast as him, very few play as clean, and very few with as much emotion. But none of them combine all of that as well as Becker does. You rock, man.

  • @NailsForDinner I'm sure you couldn't be more wrong even if you wanted to. Judging by his forum activity and how he acts on video I'd say he'd think his fans jizzing at his music was hilarious.

  • never mess with a black cat!!!

  • His all solos are beautiful! That`s more than fuckin awesome!

  • 1 dislike????why?????

  • Still not as good as Justin Bieber...

  • Jason and Shawn are the best guitarists ever.

  • @MaxvergaxS The truest statement on youtube.

  • @MaxvergaxS and marty :D

  • @ronniea7x -

  • @MaxvergaxS

    I agree, but I would throw Buckethead and Kiko Loureieo in there too.

  • @Fluffypopcicle meh, maybe govan

  • @MaxvergaxS

    Guthrie too, but Guthrie hasn't done anywhere near as much as Kiko or Bucket. Especially Buckethead, his discography is monstrous and the best part is that he is always changing things up while sill being himself. I have said this many times before, but he has played over 20 genres and written music in all of them. He is a true genius and sadly underrated.

  • @Fluffypopcicle Paul Gilbert?

  • @ColbyJMeyer

    Him too. Paul kicks arse.

  • @Fluffypopcicle Yay!

  • the ninja is by far the best (my opinion)

  • goddamn , is that 3:20 riff even possible ?

  • @crissfoo96 unfortunately not for us mere mortals

  • the end of the beginning? serrana?

  • he's so bad ass.. well was.. but i think his solos sound more like extremely hard excercises rather than solos... still kick ass though..

  • is that one dislike vote from a jealous guy?

  • @PanzerLeo Could be Malmsteen.

  • JB not stand for Justin Bieber any more when the world see this

  • that killer lick at 3:20 is marty friedman.

    you can see him playing it live here at about 2:30

    watch?v=SunC5oaxyrI

  • I listen to Air every day. It's just the most incredible guitar performance I've ever heard. I really wish he had recorded a guitar version of Serrena because that's my all-time favorite composure of his.

  • Arpeggio God

  • Damn, when I see my guitar over there, gettin dusty, I think of Jason and feel sorry because I have time and I can move my hands and even so, I plug it just once every two months just to relax a little. too lazy to sit and read and practice, getting old.

  • from 0:18 to :020 I remember the 1st time listening to this I was in my car and that part played and I almost wrecked the car trying to rewind it (yes it was a tape :))

    So fing sic!!!

  • You gave his best ever solo and best ever song #10!!!???? wtf!?

  • I would put "Jewels" in the Top10, but honestly I can tell you which song I would kick off... so it must be a Top11 ;)

  • Where the fuck is Images?

  • 2:57 WOW omg ! holy shit

  • thats how good you get when u DONT smoke, drink or do drugs. its so sad poor jason worked so hard to play like that =(

  • 3:20 thats marty alright. Jason's solo doesnt start until around 3:30

  • yeah...ALTITUTES is the best solo ever!

  • First ALS gets Stephen Hawking, the Jason Becker why does it go after the greatest minds the world has to offer? Fuck!

  • why is perpetual burn number 10

  • @TerrorizerGrindspeed --- perpetual is too easy to play...

  • @mankasban wow really? im stuck at those awkward ass intro sweeps ha

  • If life had given him a chance, he would have left Vai, Satriani, Malmsteen and Gilbert and the best guitarist IYO to shame....

  • @PabloakaChuck360 screw that man, Becker is the best shredder. hands down. he's still making music man. he might not be able to play but jeeze... all those guitarists together cant do what becker does/did with his playing. hes just one crazy son of a bitch who was damn good at what he did and i love the guy for it

  • @zoso4563 Agree... best sweep picker eva!

  • Jason Becker is my favorite guitarist ever.

  • JASON........ GOD HAS BLESS YOU IN SO MANY WAYS.

    THANKS FOR THE MUSIC.

  • Fuck yeah Jason Becker!

  • ALTITUDES...THIS IS SPEED AND SOUL..WHO CAN SAY SPEED ISNT GOOD AND HAS NOT EMOTİON ?THIS SOLO CRYS ME..

  • jason is better and faster than y.malsmteen..

  • Best guitarist ever,as Yngwie,but in composing becker is much complicate which I can proof with that fact people can copy playing of Yngwies much better then Beckers,so obviasly Becker is harder to copy. Also Yngwie is faster and I think most important guitarist for metal. But,that sounds like in Altitudes and Perpetual burn, feeling for tremolo-fluctuating tones are perfect,Yngwie doesnt have that. ALTITUDE #1 FOR ME TO, MAYBE BETTER THEN BLACK STAR OF YNGWIES,also I agree with #2 and #3.

  • greatest guitarist,as Yngwie...gretest sound,composer,technic,feeling­... ALTITUDES #1 FOR ME TOO, MABLES...AND SPEED METAL SYMPHONY #2,BUT WHERE IS PERPETUAL BURN???????????? AMONG 5 TOP SONGS FOR ME

  • thinking he was about my age when he recorded those, so gifted, fuck ALS

  • It's incredible and cruel how Jason Becker has ALS and little bastards like Justin Bieber are out there fucking world's music...Jason, you shoudl be standing up on stage, doing what God wanted you to do....shredding you ass off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • marty and jason , a divine combination...

  • I swear, Jason could have been Vivaldi. One of the only true geniuses of our times.

  • where the hell is Serrana??????

    That's the best solo by Jason Becker

  • No doubt Jason Becker is one of the greatest guitarist ever... salutes...

  • Haha u know what i like of this? That heres no competition between marty and jason of whos better...there is usually competition with megadeth and metallica, but its that metallica is good yea...but its not at the level of megadeth, althought i dont wanna argue about that, i congratulate this two guitarrists really, theres no competition between them.u know why?? THERE AWESOME!!

  • legend of the world guitarist....i like the sound of becker

  • jason becker, legend guitarist...

  • absolutely the most amazing guitarist to step foot on this planet!!!!

  • I reckon temple of the absurd shoulda been #1. well maybe #2 cus altitudes is pretty epic \(0.o)/

  • Godlike

  • IMAGES? :O

  • Perpetual burn didnt really deserve 10th. infact change the title to "the 10 best solos. Period." =] Becker is unrivaled to this day.

  • I cant believe someone didn't like this video!!! fuck that dickhead!!!!!!!!!

  • @conorthealien I think he must be a big fan of Justin Beiber... lol...

  • he is realy LEGEND... hes not from this world...the best guitar player...

  • The intro of Altitudes is so beautiful...

  • he made me love the name "mabel"

  • Dweller in the cellar (L) --- (8)(8)

  • yeah 320 is def marty its pretty obvious lol

  • DIGAN LO QUE QUIERAN...

    ES DIOS

  • Cacophony - Images should have been on the top ten too. JB was phenomenal on that song so was Friedman. If I remember correctly I think Jason said that song was inspired by the composer Claude Debussy.

  • No Temple of the Absurd!!!! What!? I know its hard to pick just ten of his best solos...But come on! IMO it's one of the best songs off of Perpetual Burn. Also Burn the Ground has an amazing solo by Jason. Check them out if you haven't heard those two. Good list though, I thought those two would be in the top ten.

  • Great list (although as others have said Ninja in Marty !). I would have put Desert Island and Jewel (intro solo) on there too. Jewel = most epically beautiful solo ever.

  • 3:20 is marty friedman there's a live video of it

  • Definitely the best songwriter of all the famous solo guitarists, especially the neo-assical ones

  • Eleven Blue Egyptians at first reminds me of space travel and aliens....then I start thinking about R-Type or Gradius when he really gets into the solo.

  • Its a real shame he got ALS. He's one of the best if not the best guitarists Ive ever heard. There are countless mindless shredders, but very few of them know how to make something worthwhile with that ability. Jason played incredibly fast but while he did he could keep tons of emotion in his music.

  • He is the perfect guitarist? amazing technique and amazing compositional capalities. Most guitarrist either lacks one or the other.

  • honestly, WHO is this good? seriously, i dont think anyone

  • Awesome how he managed to be the greatest in such a short time.

    Best wishes for him.

  • i really like dweller in the cellar

  • aaa GOD GUITAR yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    he's God

  • his best songs are altitudes and images - song he recorded in cacophony.. that 2 songs make me fucking cry....amazing

  • ALMOST the BEST guitar player in the FUCKING WORLD....

    But this life isn´t fair...

    GREAT VIDEO MAN!!

    ooo i´m the view 6000 nice!

  • Best guitarist and composer ever.

  • @ucunbiri31 amen to that

    

  • no other guitar player has still yet got to where they can even come close to jason and he did that when he was my age

    BTW i talk to jason alot on his message board on his website he soo cool he will anwser alot of ur questions

  • Respect man this guy is the best

  • gostei de "air"

  • ALTITUDES!!!

  • @up4sonic por lejos deve ser el mejor tema....

  • I think the Black Cat solo is Marty Friedman's. And where is Go Off!, Jewel and Opus Pocus?

  • @metalrules13

    They didn't vote those as the top 10.

  • @Dtyler171 Of course they didn't. I'm implying they should have.

  • We miss ya mate!

  • @fullofblood hes still alive Oo

  • @bergAgreb Haha I know but he suffers from ALS and can't play anymore.. :/

  • @fullofblood yeah i know, i taught that you were thinking hes dead

  • sin dudas el mejor de todos los tiempos ! , nadie se lo compara, ni se lo va a comparar, con 17 años ya era un señor guitarrista, !

  • The Ninja solo kicks ass!

  • AIR!!!

  • isn't 3:20 marty friedman? pretty sure of that...

  • Now that I hear it, it could be, but it sounds bery much like Becker's style as opposed to Marty's, but I can here a switch when the second solo comes up around 3:30.

  • yeah...i think around 3:30 becker starts to play...live version leave the 3:20 to mary, but who knows...

  • @zorland876 3;30 is becker.before is friedman pretty clear to tell.

  • Comment removed

  • @zorland876 it actually goes Marty 3:20 then Becker (3:30) neck pickup

    and you should have put up the last (harmonized) mabel solo somewhere on the list

  • 320 is jason but 330 starts martys solo

  • Yeah I think you're correct man..

  • i know im correct..wait do i know you

  • @gre1990 Actually, 2.58 and 3.20 are both Marty. I am sure of that. But they are all great solos anyway. (The Ninja solo is also Marty, by the way.)

  • @gre1990 at 3:20 is jason, and 3:30 marty.

  • and yeah the Ninja is definitely Marty Friedman. And Speed Metal Symphony sounds like a mixture of both, people give jason WAY too much credit for Speed Metal Symphony. Watching it live it's amazing how much Marty shreds in it. Not bashing on Jason, but people forget the beast that is Marty when ever Cacophony is brought up.

  • very true

  • try listening to Jason Beckers solo stuff he arrange electric guitar like a glorified Beethoven

    also not bashing on Friedman but Jason Is Number One

  • yeah...becker is like a Beethoven...not point of camparison with friedman in that way..not because he's better...just because friedman is more focused on oriental and exotic deal...i prefer Friedman, but becker is cool too..and twhen they play together they are a big deal.

  • its actually really true. they both amaze me every time

  • Serrana Rocks....

  • the solo in the Ninja is actually by marty friedman

  • Technically Becker is soloing in there too. Honestly though, it is REALLY hard to differentiate between the two when they do this, especially when they layer 4 or 5 guitars over each other.

  • I find it rather easy to tell the differance. I mean if it helps at all marty's guitar just sonds cleaner and has a less "electric tone" Jason has alot of pick attack and you can here the string noise and his tone is more crunchy. ha. the truth is marty and jason are both playing all the solos from caphony in this video except concerto, marty is just strict rythm there.

  • are you sure that marty is stricly rhythm in Concerto? because all the leads except for the beginning have Marty Friedman all over them. It's his classic sweep patterns and leads everywhere.

  • yeah. this solo is jason mostly. there are ohter parts where marty takes a lead. their guitar playing is very different. you can here when marty plays it sounds cleaner, jason has like a heavy pick hand and you can here it. im not saying either style is better its just how you can tell the differance.

  • @zorland876

    No look at the live versions

  • @Freakshow182

    the first one and this part is with 2guitars so they do actually the same riff

  • The Altitudes solo should begin in the 2:00 of that song, with the keyboard...is my favourite piece ever

  • im pretty sure all his songs should be on the #1 spot

  • estas loco el video bien pero el solo numero uno deberia comenzar desde el minuto 1:55 que es el solo como tal asi si te hubiese quedado muchisimo mejor de todas formas te quedo bien =)

  • lol quite funny that on #5 you indicate which one is Jason, but you can just look at the other guy (marty) 's style of picking and recognize right away

  • of course becker is amazing by the way...

  • whoever posted this video is an idiot, he doesn't even know where the solos are...

  • The whole songs are solos XD I can't include the entire song, so I isolated the most impressive/dramatic/climatic part of it. Some I had to cut at seemingly awkward times cause if I didn't it would run into the next run of solos, and that usually took up too much time.

  • i don't mean to call you an idiot, and i know what you mean about the whole songs being solos, but if you study it, you'll be able to isolate the solos from the comositions...

  • Yeah, I can't say I'm a big listener of Becker, so that would have probably helped. Sometimes I also like to include bits of composition just for the effect.

  • "Eleven Blue Egyptian" is amazing ,i like the second solo ,in the song i think it's on 3:13 minute...

    Jason Rule

  • Hell yeah Altitudes is amazing!!!

  • its funny that the signature on number 2 is over marty.....

  • Nice list but ''Opus Pocus'' and ''Serrana'' deserve to be there.

  • he played guitar with his nail huh? either he has a jazz 3 pick or he uses his nail i cant tell

  • He only did like 10 songs! :P

    But this is an amazing video.

    He is my favorite guitarist.

    "River of Longing," "River of Longing (Reprise)," and "End of the Beginning" are my top 3 favorite songs! EVER!

  • im sorry fraka? ...what did i do?

  • fucking awsome1

  • what about the solo from desert island its one of my favorites

  • well becker is a god of guitar, but the ninja is a song to marty friedman =D

  • his best work was when he duo'd with marty, teamwork payed off

  • love jason anyone notice he looks like 3 diffrent humans?

  • it's crappy resolution for the pictures so it distorts the pixels and colors

  • lol thats the 80's for you.

  • yeah i noticed that

  • is the ninja harmonized or something, cuz i know marty plays it

  • It does sound harmonized I know where you're coming from with that. With their skills it probably is.

  • I don't think the ninja is harmonized i think it's just 2 guitars in unison

  • harmonized at the octave

  • I think DigitalDreamDoor did a fine job of picking them. Such a sad story what happened to this guy. He truly is an inspiration. If only I could play half that good...

  • wat happened to jason?

  • he ended up with ALS, AKA lou garigs deases, he's still alive, but is so compleatly paralized that all he can more is his eyes.

  • wheres serrena?

  • ya serrana should be like #1

  • Comment removed

  • I love his colourful guitar
