Guitar Battle: Jason Becker vs Josh Christian

Guitar battle of two geniuses. Jason Becker (from Cacophony and his solo career) - neoclassical virtuoso and Josh Christian (from Toxik) - most overlooked and talented progressive/technical speed metal guitarist who is the real deal. It's hard to tell who's actually better. And comparison is quite interesting, because they have very similar styles (especially vibratos, note bends, sweeps, legatos). Enjoy

Easy one, Josh Christian.

@masterofmetallica09 well, hell knows. But I wouldn't say so easily that Becker is worse, technically or musically.

[KillerRat666]

I prefer to Josh :)

[Brainthrasher]

@KillerRat666 me too. Black and White and Machine Dream says it all.

[MastersShredder]

Jason Becker all the way the best guitarist all time

[masterofmetallica09]

@Brainthrasher Yeah and his Younger brother (Bobby Jarzombek) is the god of Drummers!

[Brainthrasher]

@masterofmetallica09 and Jarzombek is God of Gods, He owns absolutely every single guitarist. Just listen to Spastic Ink or Watchtower - out of this world.

[Brainthrasher]

@masterofmetallica09 I actually agree with you, Josh is even technically better. It's obvious in Black and White(favourite) Machine Dream solos. Becker is good at vibrato raping(in a good way), it's his signature style which makes his sort of unique. If Josh would make solo album, he would own everyone. And Toxik is definitely owns all thrash bands(except Watchtower with Ron Jarzombek) and Think This is the best thrash album which owns all(except Control and Resistance).

@masterofmetallica09 lol Jon Jarzombek, I meant Ron..

[masterofmetallica09]

@Brainthrasher I think Jason is a great guitar player, but he's kind of a Show-off. Which Christian isn't. Also I think musically Josh is superior to Jason. Just like Jon Jarzombek is musically superior to Jason..
