Jason Becker Tribute - by Prantare (original song for guitar)

[D1vid3By0]

Beautiful! what are using to get that awesome tone?

[jessehaley615]

I want this video on my D800 phone.

[TheNewfairytale]

wonderful music

perfect playing

[Theendlesssolitude]

Nice job dude, Keep rockin' \m/

[SteveBelong]

Fantastic, beautifully done my friend. Jason has been a major influence and inpiration for me as well; his music and influence are timeless.

[mongolianus666]

Long live Jason Becker good song dude much respect!

[KyleDurkinMusic]

As I like to say, a great solo is 100% backing and 100% lead. And you nailed both. I would really value your thoughts if you'd check out my song "Lily".

Thanks!

[NisseEricsson]

Very good, been too long since I watched it last time. I guess I would say Becker would be proud, but since you sent it to him he is :)

[MrQtheGuitarist]

Man, watching it again after probably a year or so, this still amazes me.

[rookmate]

amazing.

[hamsiii]

what pedals are you using??

[Beckerooski]

I love it, buddy! Beautiful. Thank you again.

Jason

[prantare]

@Beckerooski

Thank you very much Jason!! You have been a huge inspiration.. both in life and in music!

[xTonyxMaddenx]

@prantare The same is true for me. 

[SingingSexCoach]

Wonderful....I am sending this to Jason, I know he will like it. Thank you! :)

[prantare]

@SingingSexCoach

Thank you so very much, that is a huge compliment! :)

[Warandhatred]

Great tribute, nice feeling, close to the master. Nice job

[prantare]

@Warandhatred

Thank you so very much! :)

[kluma07]

cool - THANKS !!!

[prantare]

50.000 views yay! :D

[zymoon]

The expectations to a Jason Becker Tribute are extremely high - you have fulfilled them anyway!! Keep on rockin!

[arnimann94]

Hey there my friend!

I just wondered if this piece is especially inspired of a song of Jeson Becker? ;p

Or are it inspired by the general music of Becker? :)

Thx if you answer me, this is just an awesome tribute to a wonderful guitar player!

I wish i could play as you!

[prantare]

@arnimann94

Thank you very much =)

It's inspired most by him and maybe not as much his guitar playing. However I think my guitarplaying has been very inspired by him. So I'd say its both inspired by his guitar playing and by the person himself. :)

[arnimann94]

@prantare

that is very impressing! :)

[arnimann94]

Hey there my friend!

[beatlemartin12]

you're gonna be famous!

[SatanKreator]

you look like one of these zack and cody disney show, haha...good melodies though, jason is fucking awesome

[seba987xdc]

great tribute !

[lostnalone87]

i love the squeals wish i was that good great job bro keep doin it

[yuricriss]

wow ...

if my guitar make harmonics like this I could die happy!

[mimilimi180]

Really awesome but it looks like you gonna throw up from 0:42-0:45. But you are a great guitarist and you can tell that you are puttin' emotion into the song.

[mimilimi180]

Really great! But from 0:42-0:45 looks like you gonna throw up lol. But you are a great guitarist and there is tons of emotion in this song. Good continuation!

[prantare]

@mimilimi180 lol xD

[prantare]

@mimilimi180 lol! thanks xD

[veguixor]

WOW !

[s6y9l]

Excellent. Thank you.

[Sivels]

How do you squeal on the high strings? It seems impossible to me, perhaps it's my Les Paul?

[pramfalk92]

I must say, 1 :20 - 1 :40 ,, Man, thats the best part in the song. it give me chills everytime i listen to it.. you got feeling to!!!! so Freaking good. This is real music foks!!!! 10000 stars of 10000 :P

[prantare]

@pramfalk92 thank you so much! :)

[pramfalk92]

Måste säga det. Det bästa i hela låten är ändå 1 :20 - 1 :40, vilken jävla känsla.. Det här är riktig musik!!!!!!!

[sowder87]

It's nice to see someone whom writes a technical yet emotional piece of music that's great start to end. Good bends and vibrato too! Jason's style kind of rubs off on you after a while. The start reminds me of Altitudes with some David Gilmour thrown in. Nice sombre playing, with a flair of the dramatic.

[slipknotpapamaiden]

OMG!!!!!! you are great!! this is the best jason becker tribute that i've seen!!! please dude tell me how can i get your sound!!! it's great!!

[gobbiglione]

Awesome! Very exciting!!!

[mistasopz]

I gotta say this was very impressive, and I've seen a lot of song compositions by people who are masters on the guitar but something about your version is ridiculously good. Keep on working man, this is one of my favorite song compositions I've heard in a very long time.

As an aside, I'm learning guitar right now and was wondering if you could tell me how you produce the sounds from 1:03 to 1:05. Are you using some kind of pedal with distortion or some pinch harmonic technique? Thanks!

[darkmrpopnfresh]

I'm amazed, I see very technical people on youtube, some even more then you but they all sound like robots... I can feel your pain when you played that. I'm happy jason liked it.

[1madaboutguitar]

Just revisiting and still sounds as good as when you first uploaded this

[gozhn]

This is a great video! I have the same guitar, it squeals like a dream.

[prantare]

@gozhn

cool :D yea, its a great guitar! but the mics are a little noisy! thanks :)

[lepoglav]

very very very very nice nice nice ! !

[prantare]

@lepoglav

thanks!

[TheMarkus16]

awesome! you play lot and the music is very good. keep rockin

One more thing, even if jason gets good, thats almost impossible, he wouldnt bee the same. many years without moving and playing

[prantare]

@TheMarkus16

thank you very much ;-)

[REPTARisGNARLY]

I feel so rude dude, Ive been tryin to help a broseph download guitar pro, and I forgot to tell you how insanely good this performance is.. Rock on man \m/

[prantare]

thank you so much :) thats very kind of you!

[REPTARisGNARLY]

Haha, you are welcome. You are very talented.

[bergAgreb]

damn it sounds exact like jason becker, or marty friedman.

youre kick ass !!

youre officialy title now is "Young Becker"

[paulgilbert54220]

This is simply amazing

[walshy0001]

great song dude. i have been playing for 2.5 years just like you have when you recorded this video. I probably have the same technical abilities as you (in the video) but my biggest problem is i hardly learned any theory, which i DEEPLY regret. So what do you suggest i should learn and what's most important? scales, modes, etc. thanks!

[Kadadj]

Same, just 1.5 years, found out today you should start with the minor pentatonic scale

[Averagegamer100]

First thing is you should learn all the scales, Melodic Minor, Harmonic Minor, Pentatonic, Minor and Major scales all over the neck, then learn the modes for sure.

Also you should learn all the notes on the guitar and after that learn what degrees in a scale you can use to make chords, that, combined with your knowledge of the notes on the fretboard will allow you to construct chords without having to learn em on thr own

[walshy0001]

@Averagegamer100

thanks

[REPTARisGNARLY]

First of all, download guitarpro off of 4shared(dot)com, it really helps with learning songs and scales and such. Next download the learn&master guitar program, you can find torrents online. I would also look through pebber brown's stuff on his website, pbguitarstudio(dot)com. He has a lot of good stuff. I havent played for nearly as long as you, but I know a good amount of theory just from doing that.

[walshy0001]

@REPTARisGNARLY

hey i know about guitar pro, but since this website is like a free guitar pro i'm just wondering, does it have like viruses or anything? cuz i don't wanna fuck up my computer

[REPTARisGNARLY]

On the website, there are several people who have uploaded the guitar pro program. Download the one with the most hits, it is safe.

[walshy0001]

@REPTARisGNARLY

ok i've been trying to get it but i dont know how to without the user ID and Key ID. any ideas?

[REPTARisGNARLY]

It should come in the folder you downloaded, its saved in a text document... You might just try googling "guitar pro Id key"

[BSA2417666]

A lot of Pink Floyd's influence too! Great sweep.

[mythicaljake]

You gotta love that hofner bass. <3

[prantare]

hehe thanks :) its my dads old weapon!

[danielstevan26]

Wow, I'm really a fan of Jason Becker (he answered me an e-mail :) ) And this song is an excelent emulation of his style. It's a real tribute, Keep Playing.

Get Well Jason

[mya89sexcat]

5 star all the way...awesome...

[JeffersonblakGriff]

congratulations from Brazil.

[TheDrKadzija]

[prantare]

[shredftw]

Dude Great JOB!!! I really like it. How did you record the backing track? like the ambient Orchestra sounds and stuff?!

please let me know I would Love to try something like this myself!

[Thulle3]

I like it a lot, and you are better than me in every way, I'm not saying you are bad, but just a piece of constructive criticism: Improve your vibrato and you are without a doubt up there with all the other mega-musicians! =) Thanks for these 3 minutes! They were well spent!

[GreatApocalipse]

that's soo great man...9999/5*

[losapolice]

do you palm mute or do you mute with your thumb when ur sweep picking?

[Kevkoda]

miming u dick!

[prantare]

Why would I mime my own song?

[TinyTvHead]

Hahahaha. Absolutely. XD

[dannygmustaine]

Some great playing there dude...

[Aficionados9]

That was moving. If u cud do that in 2 nd a half years, u've gotta be very talented man. I just started playin the guitar nd love Jason Becker too. Gimme sum tips bro :)

[offal123]

Do not bury Jason Becker by using the word "Tribute" !!

[prantare]

Thats not what I tried to do! =P

[Akasunano]

Nah, you did great man! Also.. weren't there a few Black Sabbath tribute CD's? All those guys are still kicking..

[Bastubeer]

cool video...... kul att se att det finns andra i sverige som lyssnar på becker =P

[prantare]

Självklart. :D

[MRVLEDERSbasproject]

wow!!

Jason couldn't wish a better tribute than this one!!

great song and well played and composed too!!

greetz from: MR VLEDER!!

[bloobear1]

A fitting tribute to a great player. Although Jason was obviously influenced by Y M in my opinion he took something and made it better

[prantare]

thank you! :)

yea maybe thats true!

[obsidiantormentor]

BRAVO!!!

[Pinkwould]

Phenomenal.

[prantare]

thank you so much:D

[Shystoff]

Красавчик)

[prantare]

what?? :D thanks?

[julianistkrieg]

You give me the same inspiration Jason does.

[prantare]

wow thanks man.. thats a comment i'm really thankful for!

[13guitard00d]

great playing,man..really captured the elements of jasons composing and playing....it's really nice to see that there are people who pay tributes to their influences

[prantare]

thank you so much! =)

[faig1958]

TABS and BACKING TRACK! XDDD

[prantare]

already uploaded ;D check the description!

[faig1958]

How long have you been playing? really, really, really like it!

[prantare]

when recording this i had been playing for 2.5 years.. now I've been playing for 2.5 years + 1 year = 3.5 years. :) thank you so much!

[memccrory]

tremendously moving to see someone using this kind of talent to pay tribute to jason

[prantare]

thank you so much!!

[insystem7]

omg you're amazing !!!!

[prantare]

thank you hehe ;D

[windowmaker90]

Your bends, arpeggios and a bit of your phrasing sounds a bit like Marty Friedman, would I be incorrect if I asked if he was one of your influences too?

[prantare]

i wouldn't say so.. I like his stuff but haven't listened to him alot.

I listened to Jason Becker, Shawn Lane and Buckethead the most. I don't know who influenced me most.. i'd probally say Shawn Lane because of his passion for his own music. it's unmatched.

[naumanmaliknomi]

Very fucking nice...I love the bends and vibrato!

[prantare]

thanks so very much my friend!

[GGeranio]

very emotional

[Glasscherf]

After seeing this (and Hubble) I watched all the videos of the Guitar Idol finalists and in my opinion you're composition is one of the best. Most of their music is a bit more technical, but none of those guys play with the feeling you do. (Also, almost all of them have a lightning fast tapping solo). Beautiful music, very inspiring. You should put up a few songs for us to download.

[Glasscherf]

Never mind, I found your website. Thanks for sharing it! Now I can put it on my iPod =)

[soulassasin10]

send me his web site link i want this song 2 :D

[prantare]

Thought I had replied with the URL but it seems like you can't post it in replies to videos. =/ Glad you find it for yourself! :-) And I'm really happy you enjoy my music! Thank you so much!!

[crippe1000]

Can I download your songs somewhere? Or, buy them? :p

[Kadadj]

Ok its uploaded, but dont exspect much.

[prantare]

cool man :D thx alot for covering me! ;)

[Kadadj]

Haha, i actually managed to play the intro, yaay, maybe ill try to learn more of it ;D Did you win?

[prantare]

contest isn't over yet :D but there are so many great guitarists in the contest I don't think I'll get to London :P

btw, record what you managed to play and upload :D i'd love to hear you play my song!

[Kadadj]

I think your going to win:) And ill notify when i upload it, but ive only been playing for like 8 months, so i wont be be able to do the sweeping:P Lykke til :)

[prantare]

np : ) I think it'll be awesome to see someone covering one of my songs!! =)

[Kadadj]

Haha, but dont exspect much:D

[nobdys]

Very talented...and the look is a plus too ;)

[prantare]

hehe thanks ^^

[Kadadj]

I havent got a chanse to play this:( Maybe ill try the intro...

[weck303]

Thank s man ;) perfect... ı m very enjoyed ;) XD

[unguento123]

The song is good but in this video you are not playing :) or the image is not sincronized with sound. i dunno. Btw if you are the compouser, nice job

[opethrules08]

so much emotion. im sure jason is proud

[DipRack]

nice bro!!!!!!!!!thats rock!!!!!

cool solo

keep on playing

diprack

[miguell2106]

5 * bro amazing song

[ozaniiiiim]

good jobe ;) ı like it ... =)

[rmanche16]

Awesome, your shred was superb, flowing it with the whole song sometimes can be diffcult but you did it......

[bongolow07]

Amazing tribute.

[DipRack]

I voted on guitar idol!!!

[Gcwarrior123]

Hey man I voted for you in the 2009 Guitar Idol Finals, good luck!

*P.S.* To anyone watching this, vote for him too! He deserves it after making this great song!

[prantare]

thanks so much =)

[metallicaloverfan]

skitbra, du måste ha tränat ganska länge för att få till sweep pickingen eller hur...

[MrQtheGuitarist]

This. Is. Amazing.

I'm gonna try and write a Jason Becker tribute some time. He is amazing.

[Kadadj]

dritbra, fordet om jeg ikke har sjangs til og klare dette her, iallefall ikke gjennom tabs.

hvordan lager man en sånn sang?

Følger du en skala, eller finner du bare noter som asser sammen

[neilvankleeff]

very nice video, keep on going!

I was kinda introduced to becker by this video and now i'm learning how to play his song "air" on guitar.

5 Stars!

[deadnightwarior]

one thing to improve: your vibrato

[prantare]

Thanks for the feedback.. but so many people tell me the opposite. I guess it's a matter of taste... and I was kinda nervous when recording this so I guess that's why the vibratos ain't very controlled. :D

Thanks again.

[EastSideSquirrel]

I love your playing dude! Just a question, you probably get these questions all the time. But I currently have a lower end ibanez, and was looking to upgrade. I was looking at schecter, and the other day I heard a telecaster that sounded so clean. Does it really matter if you have an effects pedal, because you can change the sounding of the guitar? What would you reccomend?

[prantare]

Well.. it depends on what amp you have. I don't have a amp connected to my computer when recording, only a effects pedal (for distortion, reverb and delay). It's really crappy.. but it works pretty well for all those vids! =)

I'm sure any of those guitars you name could be awesome.. it's really hard to give advice without testing the guitar in particular myself. But I'd probably go with a telecaster or Ibanez in the end.. depending on how much distortion I was going to use.

Cheers! ;)

[DigitalDesigns1]

Best compliment I can offer you is the first minute or so if you close your eyes you would think Becker was playing, after that I kinda lost you a bit but still a very nice song

[Yngwiejmalmsteen08]

Tell me bout it Malmsteen is amazing,this guy is amazing =D

[gunjack]

You Swedish people make it just too good as guitarists... brilliant playing! Keep on rocking!

[WilliamsShamir]

wow man your'e awesome ... unlike a lot of shredders you have a lot of soul

great man !!!!!

[sicktkdchick]

u rock! u looked like u needed sleep!

[prantare]

Hadn't slept for a long time when I recorded this!! :D ahha thanks so much!

[bigdd66]

dude u got 4-6 great go get a 12 they'll chant ur name in the street's =)

[Vinniemoore89]

Wow

[paatwo]

Awesome, jag går musik 3an gymnasiet, spelar bas o gitarr :) det är awesome (dina verk) alla verkar imponerade av att du är självlärd :P det ända man lär sig av lärare är typ lite fingerteknik sen några skalor och sen typ bara massa låtar. men ändå :D Awesome jobbat! love it

[prantare]

Kul! :)

Jag pluggar NV 2:an just nu.. men hoppas att jag kan söka in på folkis/jazzhögskola efter gymnasium! Hoppas vi kan lira ngn gång. :)

[paatwo]

ball :) vart går du då?, Jag skulle gärna spela bas på någon av dina låtar :D har en 6strängad ARES (custom made) :)

[prantare]

Söderhamn. :)

Du?

Och kan du läsa noter?

Det låter som en möjlighet.. gav dig ett PM med min MSN. ;)

[paatwo]

Skellefteå bor jag i.. hah.

Jag kan läsa noter ja :) sånt man lär sig i skolan. Har lagt till dig på msn

[Koopid]

Haha, ARES håller till i Söderhamn nuförtiden :)

[prantare]

Var hos den trevliga mannen på ARES bara för en månad sen och lämna in min Fender 60th anni. Ruggigt värt stålarna. ;)

[Koopid]

Jag lämnade in min förra gitarr där också, helt ny gitarr när den var klar :)

[prantare]

Jo, han är fett duktig!

Synd bara att jag alltid tycker att gitarrer låter ostämda.. hur välintonerade dom än är. =/

Men han gjorde ett mycket bra jobb!

[paatwo]

han är grymm :) han har ju trots allt gjort min bas :) Jag köpte den beggad av en kille i min stad, vi ringde skaparen o kollade värdet på basen, Skaparen sa: "Ca 29,000kr om den inte är trasig nånstans" det är den ju inte så :) 13papp som slank ur börsen :)

[iets1243]

Damn... Cant wait till the sweep practising is finally over... Cause then ill be able to compose and play solos to:P

Very nice phrasing! Really tells a story!

Keep it up!! \m/

[saynctum]

hey i really like this, i mean you dont see many people at all these days coming up with this kind of music and it is so satisfying to see someone doing it. i have just recently really gotten into this kind of rock and hope to make some stuff of my own :) you are also a big inspiration to me

[nerdler]

Holy shit. Unreal.

Allrigth ! Thank you for tips :D So, i have to just practice and play the guitar :)
