Man you can see how happy Jason looks when he see his babyes being played again and brought back to live. Sorry Jason that life was so harsh to you but Im sure you know that your family and all the fans around the world loves you and you keep inspiring us every day,stay strong brother and hope all is going well.
Bab yes huh
Perhaps a slight flicker of sadness that he cant have a shred himself. It must be a deeply frusturating illness. I believe the ALS he has is the same variety that ol Steven Hawking had. I hope Jason gets a long life like Professor Hawking got (Motor neuron disease often leads to rather short lifes, but Jasons been holding in there for quite some time now, so he might be "lucky" in that respect, like Prof Hawking). And I hope to hell the docs figure out how to reverse it one day.
Poor jason, look at his face when the guy is playing his guitars he´s like "i want to play it too :C"
right? poor jason. also the parts where the guy plays less gracefully and jason looks at him like "dude, wtf your butchering it?!"
Jason’s thinking “Bro you sloppy.”
I understand their intentions are good, but playing guitar right there seems like rubbing it in. Plus they sit next to him and he has to look allllll the way to the left...would hurt after a while. Glad they documented his guitars though. One of the best players.
Yeah, it's so sad to see him debilitated so.
Wouldn't he be rusty
Jason no longer has muscle control or powers of speech, yet the fire in his eyes and the smile on his face when seeing and hearing his guitar being played is both inspirational and emotional.
this video made me cry. as a guitar player losing all his ability it sucks to watch a man of this caliber have to watch somebody else play his guitar.
Fuck...
Same here. Once I broke my neck, my hands were never the same. I can't even hold a pick anymore. Can't walk, can't play guitar. Life, man....it can be a bummer.
It is absolutely heart breaking. If it doesn’t make you sad, you don’t have a heart. On the flip side of this coin, I’m sure there was some happiness seeing his guitars back in great condition and seeing someone find joy in playing them. It’s a damn shame that we were never able to see what would’ve come with Jason. Such an amazing musician.
Dude that was fkn painful......
He must go to pastor Benny hin,,,sinagogue church,pastor Chris,,,for his miracle mhealing,and salvation,
3:46 that instant smile when he hears Altitudes being played on his guitar.
I certainly can see how well Jason feels when the guy next to him shreds his old guitars by his smiles...but I also wonder how he wish he could stand up and shred the shit out of that guitar...
Jason Becker...a lad who definitely deserves my respect!
Of course he does duh no he likes being frozen and not talking dumb question
@N/A what happened to Jason?
ALS has taken his body but not his mind. He still composes music using a computer device that tracks his eye movements and he still releases albums to this day by getting his old friends and fellow musicians to interpret the music he writes and record it. Marty Friedman had Jason co-write a song on his 2014 album "Inferno." He said that the song that Jason co-wrote with him had their stink all over it and that the guy who Jason got to play the acoustic part he wrote played it exactly as Jason would have played it. Even with the limitations imposed upon Jason by his disease, he has found a way to continue making musical contributions.
The guy is an absolute inspiration.
Who's the guy playing his guitars?
Jason Becker is simultaneously the most heartbreaking and doubly inspiring dude around.
Carvin should release these models, or even any of their other models and proceeds from the sales will go to ALS research or victims of ALS. Sounds like a lot better idea to me than dumping a bucket of ice water on my head. Spread awareness through music!
CamTation With every Jason Becker guitar purchased money goes towards Jason Becker.....
That's awesome
Carvin Guitars I was about to purchase a JS2410, but I'm loving the airbrushed model, if he gets the proceeds from it......SIGN ME UP!!!!!! I know Bluiee is available, but what about the airbrushed model?
CamTation A portion of the proceeds go directly to Jason for his special needs. Always.
These guys are great to my beloved friend Jason.
that's why kiesel is going to be my next guitar. thank you Mr Becker n thank you to the kiesel family. you are the greatest
im training to be a doctor because of jason
i wanna cure als
Mukund Shivakumar
You have my support!
Man why this disease exist anyways. For fucks sake you just living your life and is not a function of your lifestyle like diabetes or liver and heart problems. You could be the most energetic person and. ....What the fuck man?Last i just want to say one more thing. All you people out here just live your life to the fullest and dont compain about feeble problems . We all have some of them even physical but we carry on after all we are not expected to live more than 80 years so lets just enjoy it!
Look up Dr Robert Morse on RUclips.
I hope you succeed in your goal
Godspeed brother
What an inspiring dude. It would be unreal to see a cure in his lifetime, full recovery and watch him play again.
becker is a legend
hey Dime...where hav u Gone 😈😘
Yes
Facts
no shit
Indeed 💜
Just imagine how far he could have gone in the industry. God bless you, Jason.
The smile on his face seeing someone else enjoying the careful maintenance and craftsman ship to his guitars is amazing 🤘🏽
I'm an amateur guitarist and music lover, and I just discovered Jason Becker in May of 2019. I've read his story and bought some of his albums, with plans to buy more. What a talent and artist. What a hard worker. What a composer. What a positive influence. What a role model. What an inspiration!
I had a scare in my life where I thought I had ALS. It is one scary fucking disease and so shitty that anybody has to go through this. I have only learned of Jason in the last two years and this man is a prodigy. He is so strong and fighting his ass off. I will pray that this LEGEND regains his strength and shreds the piss out of those guitars again. I really respect Carvin for taking care of Jason and keeping his flame burning. I am really amazed at this story and Carvin earned a shit ton of points from me for not just writing him off. Well done Carvin and fight on Jason, you are an inspiration!
TonydlP650 I can see the pain in his eyes I wish he didn't have to go through the disease he's such a wonderful human being so much talent
have so much respect for carvin guitars doing this for him...
I shamefully only came across Jason's music today but I've been sat in bed for the last three hours listening to it and I'm totally blown away.
It's so awesome when you find new music that gives you that feeling, but then to hear all the adversity he's had to deal with is truly inspirational.
Finding this on a particularly rough day for me personally has really lifted my spirits. Thank you Jason!
This is amazingly sad. How cruel a disease.
Jim M I'm just glad he's still alive and composing
i was watching jasons face 90% of the time
Yea I felt bad for him to
+Tyler Frederick Official He's probably happy to see that people appreciate and even play his music
Raúl Pérez Doesnt look like it
+mase ofspades u can see that he tries to smile. And there's no reason for him to not like hearing his precious Guitar working again
+mase ofspades Because his eyes are moving all the time? That's because that's the way he communicates with his parents, using a 'language' created by his father, since he could only move his eyes some years ago. It's not on purpose.
After a long day at work, or after a really bad evening, nothing pleases me more than to see Jason Becker smiling as someone jams on one of his guitars. He's more than just an inspiration- he's a god damned living saint.
God bless Jason Becker and his family . Breaks my heart to see him like that.
Honored that AmpliTube was used. Great video honoring a true great among guitar players. Well done.
A big thanks to our friends at IK Multimedia. First, the Carvin V3M Amplitube software is amazing. 2nd, with all the restrictions at the airlines, we had to figure out how to pack, lights, stands, tripods, cameras etc along with some sort of recording rig. The iRig HD fit in the laptop case so we didn't have to spend time setting up microphones and plugging in loud amps. It was perfect for our needs and gave us total control in post when we edited the guitar playing along with the voice over from the video. Had we used one of Jason's guitar amps, there would have been no way to keep the loud amp from bleeding into the voice over microphone.
ikmultimedia Does a real amp sound better because that is all I have right now?
Sound is preference, but i think most of guitar players, including me, agree that a good quality tube amp is the way to go:)
@HULK HOGAN Maybe if you used your brain to set it up properly, you'd have better luck.
@@sweetguy19762 i get this is old, but i'm gonna answer you anyway lol i've had a great time with amplitube and my focusrite scarlet solo. 2ms latency through asio usb. tons of different entire rig setups to check out (including setups for becker, hendrix, slash, dime, and several others). they sound great. i've not compared how it sounds to the non-simulated versions, and i'd honestly expect that they'd sound 'better' than the sim amp, but unless you do such an experiment, it'd probably be hard to tell the two apart.
Jason is so more than just a musical inspiration. He is an inspiration to never give up. Tremendous human being.
Jason is amazing he is an inspiration and an example of never being defeated even when circumstance might justify it.
I love that the music still makes him smile... and that he still has a great sense of humor.
I'm french. I have eternal respect for you Jason...
The fact that you listen another guitarist play on your guitar have to be very emotional for you. That's why i think this video is very emotional, for me, for us, and mainly for you.
Respect...
You're the man Jason. Much love and prayers for you bro!
Man I would feel like shit, playing guitar in front of someone who lost their ability to do so especially at such a young age.
+ChromeGhost0219 especially playing HIS guitars.
Jarrod Truax Mhmm :/
+ChromeGhost0219 I wouldn't be able to.
like mr bean streching his leg at the hospital
They do it for out of respect and admiration for Jason. He is probably like a saint to them when they have to visit him and play the guitar in front of him.
It's so awesome to see Jason smiling here. I'm so glad that he can still compose the great music that's in his genius mind. :)
This just made my day. Becker is a legend. Rock on brother.
I've played that purple guitar with the stickers on it.
Amazing!!!
Jason rules!!!!
MY RESPET!
How was it?
Justin Fredricks Was awesome!
What stands out about Jason is not just his amazing compositions, it's his humility. He always seemed humble and I have no doubt one day that when he meets Jesus he will be gifted with a new body and set of hands in Heaven
Jason reminds me a lot of a kid. Still so much life and innocence in his heart. ❤️
You know that if ALS wouldn't have set in, Jason would be kicking some serious ass in metal. He already did, and he was only 16 to around 32. So sad. Dammit man.
theres always time for a miracle..who knows
Tmac you mean until 22?
Why can't someone give Jason a computer like Stephen Hawking so he can "speak"? That eye movement communication must be tiring.
Also, I love his sense of humour.
It's the same system Hawking uses.
I think he means the computer keyboard that Hawking (r.i.p.) spoke through. I think that would be an awesome idea. Becker should have one. :)
Ha ha 😆
He didn't like it
Eye tracking would be better, you can you a computer real fast just like a mouse but more accurate.
This is beyond sad, this man was such a talented guitarist, that ability was cruelly taken away at a very young age
Jason Becker is amazing. Total inspiration in all senses.
So inspiring!! The best part is that this is a real story of strenght, perseverance and love, not a Hollywood fiction! Much respect and love to Jason and his family, respect to Carvin.Cheers from Morocco.
I feel so bad for him yet admire him for how he handles his condition
Oh, Jason Becker. Your story is so inspiring. I love you, with all passion intended. You are the greatest inspiration. You are the reason I keep playing. I hope to one day be referred to as your legacy. You are such an inspiration to many guitarists out there. There is no reason anyone who graduates public high school should not at least know smoke on the water.
His smile is the desire of living! I wish I had that spark too! :)
Aww! He looked so happy to see his guitars in playable condition again. :)
And I love that Carvin came out with a tribute model, but it should have had a Kahler on it like Bluey did, and not a Floyd.
David Zimmerman kahler are more maintenance work, and more difficult to get parts for
should have gotten marty to play them.
omg same
Marty did play his original pearl purple.
Ty Pursell I would have busted in tears...
marty guitar and sound preference is different..perhaps get marty to jamm with those guy?
Agreed
@3:48 jason is thinking "this dude wishes he could play arps like i did! LOL!
Or that he could play 😂
Jason never came across as someone who puts other people down in any way
Whoever "this dude" is, he's pretty damned good too!
I sincerely love you Jason
This guy's music is so inspiring..I have MS and can still play thank God and when I do. I do it for this guy. What a lovely personality. Wow.
such a legend. I feel good that the guitars are getting the attention they need....I feel so sad watching Jason sitting there listening and watching.
Why would someone dislike this video? I'm confused. I loved it, and nearly teared up just a bit.
Was so inspired by Jason! I was 17 in 88 and was just mindblowing hearing so many notes with an emotion behind it! Love his spirit and modesty in the guitar clinic video! Even now he is a treasure of inspiration and spirit! Rock on Jason, rock on! PS: when do we get some more music? ;)
You're gonna beat this shit, Jason. You're gonna play the guitar again. I swear to god, you're going to. There's no other scenario.
Unfortunatly he will not be able to play guitar ever again
Unless a miracle does happen. And miracles *do* happen sometimes.
sadly, your god never give shit about disease..
sorry for the jerks on the internet who abuse anonimity, even though they arent musicians, doctors, or religious, so have no weight in the matter try to put down others as an outlet to their feelings. I for one believe he could get better, if thats all it takes, I believe. I feel what OP is saying.
I think he plays guitar daily. Because, I'm pretty sure this ALS thing is a hoax.
Its Amazing he's still alive after all this time. I lost my brother to ALS after just 2 years....
What a wonderful video! Jason, you are so much fun!!!! And the history of those magical instruments is enchanted! I love that we recorded Rain on that guitar! -- So cool!!!! Love you, brother!
You are the best, Mike! Yeah, we recorded Rain on the first day we met.
I cherish you, dude! I love Carvin, too!
This make me so sad....but I'm inspired to keep playing and having fun while I can.
Yes Becker is a true legend. Im not a shredder, but was always aware of his playing. So clean and full of great tone.
I always love coming back to this video
I met Jason at a NAMM show many years ago and got his autograph. You know back when metal was king! Good to see him on here! God Bless you brother!
long live Jason Becker
It's humbling to see someone with such great talent unable to move like that. Puts a new perspective on things. Jason will always be a legend and honestly; it make his life so much more impressive.
Jason's blue Carvin has always been my favorite guitar ever since the first time i saw it. What I would give to see him play it again.
Amazing! Thanx for the upload Carvin, and thank you for all the music, courage and positivity, Jason!
He’s happy knowing that others are inspired by his guitar playing
My Best guitarists all time
Oh, man. This video gave me a metaphorical lump in my throat.
Thank you. Jason. I'm inspired by your skill and tenacity.
Thank you Jason! I'm so loving everything there is to know about you and your music. I'm up with a head cold and I'm practicing because you inspire me!!! I can't get enough of your music!
My grandmother worked at Carvin for 25 years making pickups, I like to day dream she may have done the pickups for one of Jason Becker's guitars.
It's a shame that Carvin no longer uses the Jackson-style headstocks like they used to. In my opinion those old Carvins look the best.
I agree, but for legal reasons, we cannot do that headstock.
I’m blessed to have a beautiful, one-Of-a-kind 1988 2nd gen left-handed Carvin Ultra V with that headstock shape. Carvin didn’t offer LH Vs at the time, but we took a chance and sent a self-addressed stamped envelope with a check and an order and six weeks later Carvin/Kiesel won me over forever with what is still my favorite, most comfortable, and best sounding guitar. Never seen another like it on the planet. I love you guys for making the guitar of my dreams that’s been with me almost all my life. When I leave this world my other guitars are going to my daughter - the V goes in the grave with me.
Jackson style is the best way. Hate the fender headstock.
I still have mine. Reverse headstock, green flametop. Looks much like the guitar Craig was holding in the catalog. The bridge pickup finally died after 25 years.
@@KieselGuitarsTV Good day Kiesel fellows,
we would be happy to have a few new superstrat models like Jason's purple and blue one, they are beautiful! Perfect body shape.
You can see that he is trying to smile sometimes, that warms my heart
This is heartbreaking man ......tears coming down a legend .found out about jason and u will always be a icon...
toda a força a Jason e sua família, grande abraço do Brasil! obrigado CARVIN por essa oportunidade!
That is so NICE!
great job and you can kind of see Jason smiling while the other guy was playing, im sure he was very happy. He desserved it.
I really enjoyed this interview and highlight stories of Mr. Jason Becker's guitars with the narration paired with some blended jamming. Thank you Carvin and Kiesel and Jason for sharing.
Watching guitar video and this popped up....My wife suffers from ALS and my heart breaks everyday for her Jason I've see everyday what you go through and no one deserves ALS!
4:44 oh, man. That was nice.
5:34
As a partial quadriplegic(c3-c6 incomplete, meaning all limbs are affected in some way), this hits hard. I lost my ability to shred, as well. I love watching my buddies play my old gear. It also kinda sucks, but I'm just happy to be alive and to be able to enjoy music. Life is a cruel bitch sometimes. What can ya do?
Im from New Zealand, and I'm 38 years old, been playing guitar for 31 years... Its only in the last 6 or so months I've discovered Mr. Becker, and (as a "guitarist at hearts / metal head"), I feel so left behind. If I ever had the finances too visit Master Becker at his home residence, I'd take it up in a heartbeat, just to say thank you.
I love watching Jason expressions with all these visit videos. And his parents are f'ing cool!
Much love Jason!
From the moment I heard Jason back in 87 on Speed Metal Symphony with Marty I was hooked;)Your a Mighty Man Jason:)
What a great tribute they did for him, really earnest and I think he deserves it.
One of the best in the world!!! Thanks Jason for all the awesome riffs!!!!
we love you jason.
"some of my friends favorite guitar to play"
RIP my feelings.
I wish one day he would wake up and be able to feel and play again. Stay strong my dude you’re an inspiration
... it's a great video, indeed and a full of emotion one !... beautiful guitars, I wish to see you again playing them live !... God bless you, dear Jason !... ♥
I am watching Jason's documentary he's so fucken hotttt!I can't believe that happened to him he is a god at playing guitar he was born to play guitar he eats and breaths guitar I am so sad that als is in his cards of human life sum people take life for granted but Jason has never done that he is not a quitter .....he will always be in my heart I have never heard of him till today 1/30/14 San Antonio Tx. my heart and prayers will always be with him.
I want to see Jason play those guitars the way they are meant to be played.
I am not familiar with ALS, But I hope he can recover.
He is mush stronger than me because if I could not play music because of an illness I would not want to live.
It probably killed him inside at first but he still does make music with his eyes on a computer program. He never stopped.
jimmy georgiadis Good for him man! That is inspiring.
+Jason Nolet Truly!
+Jason Nolet yea thats good. sad that als is not curable.
I know man. Lou Gehrig's Disease is a horrible, cruel uncurable disease. It makes me sad to see this and he is definitely one tough dude for living with it for so long. Very sad and inspirational at the same time.
Thank you for making him a significant part of this
I remember reading about his diagnosis back when it was first disclosed. And then 10 years later I'm in a bad car accident where they were treating my situation as MS. Which scared the shit out of me when it happened. I nearly lost my ability to play the guitar yet alone trying to hold a guitar pick between my fingers and not drop it. My second fear was falling off a stage due to balance and coordination issues to my condition. I even had trouble remembering musical pieces that I had known by heart.
17 years later I've recovered all my ability back. After a long hiatus of not playing any music since 2010, I picked up my guitar again for the first time in 2017. It's a long road back to where I used to be as a guitar player, but I'm on my way. I admire Jason fighting back against this disease ALS. Truly an inspiration!
Breaks my heart, but I'm in awe at the amount of love and support Kiesel community shows Becker. I'm going to grab a Ying Yang, myself. Thanks for the tasty jams, Jason. We love you, bro.
when Jason heard Bluey being played he just smiled :)
God bless Jason Becker. Man, I hope Jesus comes and heals him up soon. If not, he's gonna have to wait 'till he goes to heaven. That's going to be AWESOME.
Umm, yeah.......sure kid.
I've always wondered if there was anything that could be done. Somewhere in the world a doctor that could cure him.
Nelson Riveros there really isn’t any treatment for a progressive disease such as ALS
Only a cruel God would allow this existence.
I watch these videos, with so much respect. At the same time it hurts so terribly. We love you Jason.
Jason is such a gift to the world, he is such an inspiring and incredible human being! As well as being an incredible musician and composer!
anytime i watch jasons video i feel so sorry for him becouse in his eyes you can see that thirst for playing guitar when somebody is playing next to him...
Man, what a legend...
awesome video. Jason is and always will be amazing. Love my Carvin DC135T
What a beautiful video...thank you Jason and Paul. My Icons
...No my Gods
I like your music. And your guitar looks good! From Korea.^^
Bluey sounded absolutely stunning, the best sounding one out of all three by miles IMO.
Good job CG! I'm glad the guitars are being looked after :)
So glad Carvin Guitars making Jason Becker models and types I now want one.
