Jason Becker - Warmup before show (see tab inside)

Jason Becker with his band cacophony,before a show in japan,1989.
Jason plays some riff and then plays a sick arpeggio.
I`m proud to say I managed to tab it. I didnt tab this whole video,just the arpeggio.
What Jason plays is an A6 arpeggio,over 3 octaves. He also adds a B note once in the first octave he plays. Theory-wise,a 6th chord is just a major triad,with the 6th added. (1-3-5-6).
So the notes for A6 are A-C#-E-F#. In the first octave (the lowest),you could say Jason plays an A6/9 arpeggio,because he plays the B note too,which is the 9th note in A major scale.
The other octaves are just A6 arpeggios.

I was lucky enough to see Cacophony and meet both Jason and Marty and around the same time got to see Chastain and talked with David for a bit. It was a good year!

@tonypybus you are one lucky man!! do you have some insight about meeting the best guitar duo in history? have you seen them play cacophony stuff? I`d love to hear any story.....thanks for writing! Idan

[shredderSupreme91]

that arpeggio at the end....

[dvary89]

@shredderSupreme91 have you seen that tab i wrote for it?

no one commented on it,if you`re a guitarist i`d love if you check it and tell me if i got it right.

[DillonBerkley]

Is the first riff he plays in a song or is he making it up on spot?

[dvary89]

@DillonBerkley that riff was probably recorded as "blood on the traches" which you can find on either the raspberry jams or the blackberry one,i cant recall which. so he must have played it before hand,i`m guessing its part of his warm-up routine before shows,cacophony played very intense guitar lines.....

Jason Becker - Shows off before show lol

love him lots!

[ten8goa]

Hate sweeping and this neo classical. All sounds the same

[ten8goa]

Ya dont find too many famous killer players that arent a lot full of themselves. Stevie was about the only player that that was very humble. Everyone telling u how great you are and incredibly hot chicks coming up and offering to suk and fuk u everywhere u go has an impact on the ego. Usually negative.

[JamesGod08]

Seems a bit full of himself

[guitarfreak23397]

@torogami2 ooooh that's your point. sry, but you didnt make it really clear in your comment lol.

[torogami2]

@guitarfreak23397 everyone's comments are about tabbing hte arpeggios

[guitarfreak23397]

@torogami2 no love for the riff? how do you know that? because he didnt make his face look like he just ate a whole fucking lemon like some guitarists do?

[torogami2]

not that the arpeggios isn't amazing, but why no love for the riff?

[kickalion]

ACTA will kicks your balls because this tabs and vid
