There isn't a single day I don't get amazed by Becker's composing. What a legend. A true guitar legend.
Blows my mind!
A touche of Chopin, a touch of Yngwie, a touch of Gary Moore - great song
That's a very accurate description!
@@sam08g16Thank You! Maybe it was just a congruent assessment with what I had been listening to at the time…?
What about this is Chopin related?
Maybe that clever modulation? Other than that I don’t hear much Chopin-style and honestly a lot more Yngwie.
@@Swybryd-Nationtbh i don't dee yngwie here, this is just something on its own, something special. Yngwie is more shreddy
Yeah I hear a bit of The Messiah will come again in this song but that was written by Roy Buchanan not Gary Moore who was the one who made it more well known 👍
Most accurate cover on RUclips
It's the best cover performance. It's perfect.
Finally someone who does the sweeps right. He doesn’t sweep all the way down to the A string in the same position like people think. He slides down to the other inversion.
Excellent cover. Vibrato was wonderful and spot on, as was the phrasing and tone. I was throughly impressed. Thank you for posting this!
Appreciate that, thanks for listening.
Please guys who can play!!! We need more Jason covers! I love you are putting your guitar sound in the from, shows you know what you are doing! Please make some more ❤️
another great cover with all the subtleties of Jason' playing !!
Thank you Antoine, I tried to remain faithful to the original. I played the ending a bit smoother than Becker to suit my style.
This cover must be seen more. Your playing and accuracy is insanely good. Well done!
Just perfect, there’s nothing like the sound of single coils to get that clarity, fantastic work
He's actually using what looks like a Hot Rails pickup in the bridge, which is a humbucker that fits in a single coil slot.
이렇게 완벽한 커버는 처음 봤고, 펜더 싱글 픽업 스트라토캐스터가 웬만한 험버커 기타보다도 좋은 소리를 내주는 악기인 줄은 처음 알았습니다. 진심으로 존경합니다 !
Seen many covers of this track but this is truly exceptional. The bigger youtubers do not come close. Inspiring as always.
after all these years of finding your web page with the best transcriptions ever.... its amazing to watch you play!!! greetings from argentina!
Thank you Andres, nice to hear that!
@@ClassicSoloSpotlight i hope you do more perpetual burn full covers... oh, i just remembered i have your bach CD. will give it another listen
When i heard this son back in the 80´ i thought nobody never would be able to do this, like Becker, respect,
As a kid, I spent the whole christmas of 1988 listening to that album. Magic.
This is crazy, just crazy..mad and insane. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You understated still
Insanely clean and perfect, just amazing
As close to perfect as can be for the most perfect shredding masterpiece of a song! The tone is so great as well. Masterful!
4:03 i just love that licking starting from the big bend and ending to the pinch harmonic on the 9th fret
Wow! Amazingly played. This song is a masterpiece 👏👏
omg my favourite cover from this masterpieces. i really love the tone and the articulation and the perfections of all the notes he really hit on the guitar.
This is a great rendition-- played really well. 🤘
I like that you play it in lower tuning. It sounds more daunting and Yngwie-esque
What key is he playing it in?
@@_.LZ._ All strings tuned lower half step
By far the best version of Altitude I've seen!
Great execution, Peter!!
I'll share this to my mate.
You make the impossible look easy. Amazing cover.
Amazing！Mr.perfect ！Excellent ！
Thank you.
This is simply insane; no one gets as close as you!
Yes there are amazing covers out there, however, he managed to do it its own way and style which make it awesome by itself.
Gux Drax cover of this song is more accurate and the best ever come close ti the original
@@precioustreasures6045No way!
@@precioustreasures6045Lmao it definitely isn't, the first part of the song is played wrong and so are the arpeggios, he plays them without the slides.
Amo Jason Becker! Incrível sua execução!!!
Best cover of this song I’ve ever seen hands down…
Thank you.
Live it! Flawless!
Really treading on hallowed ground here with this one...well done!!!
Absolutely great cover.
Beautiful and so cool ending⚡
You must be kidding. Perfect! Seriously, came here first because of the John Norum cover and I can believe you did a cover of my favorite instrumental song. Absurdly beautiful to see something like that, also I can believe you keep sending videos regularly since, come on, that's not an easy song. I really love Cacophony - Desert Island solo, Go Off! And Temple of the Absurd, just a suggestion in case you need one.
And keep rocking! Wish to see some music of your own too, you must have made some beautiful pieces.
Thank you for the kind words and suggestions. There is more Becker coming. Yes, I have indeed registered a personal YT channel that will focus on my own music plus some classical. More details to come.
The best version of all times, very Good technique
your covers are perfection.. Every note is right, great work man
Flawless, as always. What a fantastic piece
Fantastic job! Loved every second of it!
Amazon! You deserve a comment by legend Mr. Becker
Congrats man, the touches are perfect!
unbelievable chops
So clean !
Excellent playing
just perfect , i can hear every note really clearly
Thanks to you i can play the correct arpeggios
that slide bend at 2:56 is hauntingly good
It just came out like that and I kept it :-)
Amazing cover, that bend at 2:57 was enough on its own for me to like this video 🙌
That's so funny. Everybody mentions that bend!
loven the pedals though...man your playing is crazy
Guitar sound is so amazing. Fantastic man. 🔥
I am crying in the gym right now… Jah bless Jason Becker 🗡🗡🗡🧘🏽⚔️⚔️🃏🃏
That was fantastic!
Beautiful tone
Very impressive, great job!
Great cover man.
Great job my friend. Well done!
Thank you!
great final
Absolutely masterful playing. I loved your more subtle use of the whammy in the outro lead section compared to Jason's version; sounded much better IMO.
Thanks. I actually tried the crazy whammy approach but it just wasn't me.
Amazing 👍
Man you are playing with Fire 🔥
My compliments. The clean part is very difficult to master, because there are a lot of tricky bendings. Perfection is in the details.
Thank you. Practice makes perfect.
Sweet tone！
man!! you have perfect pitch!!!!! great!!!!!
that was amazing man, im learning the song too and it has quite the work i must say!
El mejor cover que he visto🤘
Amazing! Great Player!
Thank you.
Beautiful cover!

Bravo! 👏👏👏
I just set al my amps on fire and threw all my geetars on top to create a nice bonfire, after seeing this... 20.000,- euro down the drain, just because of you....
Wow...
Fabuloso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
genial
Very nice man...whips Tina s out of the park.
Thank you very much.
@@ClassicSoloSpotlight my only criticism is you're a little too tidy. A fate befallen many a virtouso player. It's not just you but you're your sound. It's not really a true criticism though, you're seriously a shit hot guitarist which is not a label I use lightly. You have REAL talent..... Respect!
@@alanandjess7516 Thank you. Quite right, I prefer clean execution, it's part of my general approach. Occasionally I might phrase a part differently for style/taste reasons such as the end melody in Altitudes, where the original is a bit too quirky for my taste.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
=) just perfect .
Amazing! Also your take on this tune is the one I like the best on RUclips. Have you learned it by ear by slowing it down to have this feel or have you used a tab? In any case great job man!
Learned it by ear as a kid in 88/89. Tape and vinyl
Man this is fucking awesome
I keep coming back to this cover, I love it so much :) If you don't mind me asking, was this the neural DSP Soldano SLO-100, and do you know which specific model of guitar and pickups those were. Great cover!
Neural DSP Soldano, yes. Check the info box and comments for all other details. Cheers
nice ending
Oh my
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fucking brilliant bro.
Sei un dio
I came back here 9 months later, still love this cover so much lol.. Just wondering, are the Impulse Responses you used all from the actual plugin, if it's something else can you let me know what it is great cover!!!!
Yes, they're the speaker IR's inside the Soldano plugin. Cheers

Hi.
In some passages your picking hand thumb is always bent. In others, it's straight and very relaxed.
Is there a rule (of thumb, lol) for switching between both techniques ?
Good question. You're correct, my picking posture changes depending on the song, style and what sound I'm going for. The flat thumb you mention is what I call "parallel picking" (i.e parallel to the string) and it creates a very clean, creamy attack tone. Several of last years' videos contain parallel picking. I love that sound, but it doesnt work on everything. Bent/angled thumb is my "standard" angled posture (i.e. Paul Gilbert) which gives you the "normal" aggressive attack so common in metal. Bent/angled thumb also sets me up nicely for circular picking on the super fast stuff, which you'll see in most of the newer videos. In total I use about 3 or 4 different approaches depending on the style and what the parts need. Maybe I should do a video to compare and contrast the different picking approaches.
@@ClassicSoloSpotlight Thanks ! Man I had to dig for your answer, RUclips didn't notify me you kindly took the time to reply
@@ClassicSoloSpotlight A video demonstrating the various picking approaches would be really nice. I also find myself using various picking methods, however for me it's never a choice of style but absolute necessity. Of course style also factors in (I would eliminate a technique that prevents me from achieving palm muting when palm muting is required), but mostly I have to pick differently to even hit the strings. Some picking hand positions work great on certain string grouping(s) but the same technique can't land a single note on a different string grouping and I must somewhat reconfigure to activate different muscles and give myself a chance to even play the new string groupings.
So any insight on how it works for you, would be really nice. Thanks for replying !
