If Yngwie was the Bach of modern guitar (in terms of baroque styling) then Jason Becker was the Rachmaninoff. Very modernist 'classical' complete mastery and his very own vocabulary.
When Marty and Jason collaborated it was like Yngwie X 2 on crack & Perpetual Burn is a legendary guitar record that'll be talked about for as long as guitars exist. Amazing what he did in such a short time.
Jason has it all. Still does. I have been playing guitar for four decades, almost three of them as a professional, and sometimes I still want to turn my guitars into coffeetables and knit a sweater or something after hearing yet another masterpiece by mr. Becker. Not just his one of a kind techniqual skills, but his compositions people. The sheer beauty!
That is what makes us guitarist better at it, trying to play as good as other players ( in this case Jason) even though it seems we can't and even if we could, we would all sound the same and that would become uninteresting. I bet you are a great guitar player! Even the virtuoso's knock themselves thinking they are not good enough.
I really am kind of stammered that there's something you can't play, but at the same time I gained an entire new level of respect for you for admitting it, but continuing with the lesson anyway
Omg, Jason Becker licks now? The best !! ^-^ A friend of mine went to school with him. We all grew up in the East Bay Area, he's a such a good person in general too. Such a strong person too. One of the best Christmas presents I ever got was a Cacophony album. They were a huge influence on me.
As always, awesome lesson and analysis David! You're a great teacher and player - your explanations and teaching style are always so clear & inspiring (even to a forever beginner like me). Look forward to future episodes!
Thanks a lot for this lesson David! I wish I could like the video 1,000 times, I have been waiting hoping you would do this lesson. I really appreciated your words at the end...I have been "playing" Jason's tunes since high school and still hope one day to play along to the CD for more than a few seconds at a time haha
I can't get enough of Jason's playing. He could absolutely shred but would build these gorgeous melodies and progressions from the licks he was burning through. He'd play those arpeggios so fast you didnt hear individual notes but just the flavour of the notes without it simply being a chord.
3:17 As noted on the slide, there is an excellent documentary, 'Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet'. I imagine most viewers will have seen it, but just in case: it's great... thanks for the lesson!
He could definitely play and more importantly...he's an absolute inspiration today for reasons non-guitar related. His spirit and fight far outdo anything he couldn't possibly play on the guitar. I pray daily that the Lord and science can give him what he deserves...to play once again.
Brewster once again you should receive the chameleon of the Year award. No doubt top of your game+ I now the majors are missing out a talent like yours.
Hay Brewster you just keep up the great work. Your show is one of a kind your next idea should be having the audience send you info. Listen to my blues today rocking out Willie dixon django reinhardt,Mississippi Fred McDermott. Now there is a show. P.s. how do you avoid copyright problems.? Chord changes and there development in recording. Listing to it with Chuck recording of Carol.
When I was young, I felt the same way about these fellers. I started playing when I was 12. I was an avid metal head!. I'm 51 now, and my tastes have changed a lot. I'm into jazz now for goodness sake! I don't like technical players now as much. I like feel nowadays, except for Vai. Somehow, even though he's technical, he's got feel as well. I went through my Eddie stage too lol. I learned sweeping a couple of years ago. I can add little sweeping phrases, but not big complicated ones, to my playing. When I first heard Yngwie, it blew my fragile eggshell mind! I was like, how is he picking so fast. A lot of years passed before I seen how it was done. I remember trying to learn a phrase in the song, "I'll See the Light Tonight". I think it was a part right before the solo. I picked every note on the strings lmao! I got kinda fast with it, but I just gave up lol. When I found out later, I was like, Oooh! That's how it's done. Ah, the good old days of youth. I think maybe you should do a video on a couple of his licks🤣. Love your vids my man! Keep on keepin' on, and keep Rocking out on these videos! You've became one if my favorite channels. 🎵♥🎸🎶🤘😝🤘
ALS is a torturous disease. There is no cure.. No real treatment... Patients decline is truly inevitable. Sometimes it is in a few years. For others it takes thier lives before it ends. Great lesson as always.
God is blessing Jason and we are lucky to have him produce more great 🎶 for us to 👂 to lift us up. Jason is my guitar hero I met him he was a very nice dude very easy to talk too..
This clinic also had Marty Friedman on it They had 2 clinics in total Marty had an interview with This Japanese Radio Channel on 1988 when he talks about Cacophony tour of 1989. There are also some sweet licks there. I honestly hope that we can see the full clinic here on the internet one day!!
Through spending a decade playing at the very least 8 hours per day, I managed to attain that speed, but not with that much clarity. I finally figured out that there are very few people who can play like that even with a ton of practice. Now that's alright though because we are all unique players and can bring something unique to playing the guitar. It took me almost another decade just to be comfortable with that though. (tricky part is the finger roll across "barred" parts).
@@aylbdrmadison1051 I've been playing for a long time but all blues, heavy rock, punk, and metal. I am not and will never be a shredder. I can play my ass off but this style of shred is beyond me. Guys like Vai, Petrucci, Satriani and Malmsteen are masters. Now Page, Hendrix, Gibbons, Iommi, guys like that I can handle. I continue to learn and try these things but like you said "very few people who can play like that even with a ton of practice". LOL. I still practice every day and steel from every body and I take pieces of this stuff and add it to my playing. Gibson/Marshall guy lol. Thanks for the comment. Rock on.
Thanks for this lesson Dave. I love your channel! I was 15 when Jason got sick and it terrified me. When I was 27 I got tendonitis so bad in both arms that I had to change my job and couldn't play guitar for 14 years. I'm 45 now and over the last 4 years I have VERY slowly clawed my way back to being able to play for up to an hour a day. Jason is inspiring! And again I really enjoy your channel
Nice vid. Dont have guitar in my hands but JB’s arpeggio etude might be going B minor as the fourth chord (instead of D Major). Small change but take it for what it’s worth. G D Em Bm C G C D Like Pachelbel’s Canon, but in G
exactly, It's reminiscent, he is playing it in G major, chord sequence of the Pachelbel Cannon is ; I-V-vi-iii-IV-I-IV-V so in D--> D>A>Bm>F#m>G>D>G>A, so transposed to G major--> G>D>Em>Bm>C>G>C>D. David is doing G>D>Em>D>C>G>C>D. So similar, not exactly. Still sounds cool. Like Yngwie said about learning Paganini's 5th caprice "why do boring scales and arpeggio's when you can play actual Music" or something to that effect...
Excellent! When I first heard Cacophony - it blew me away that JB was only like 17 man! Unreal! His comps are stellar! He continues to make music with the use of a computer and still is a mad genius for sure! You did Rex Carroll - did you ever hear the band Shout with Ken Tamplin? They rip a song called "Facts In Your Face" that begins with dual shred guitars and they just wail till the end. I really like your channel content, and definitely grew up listening to, and playing - the same songs, digging the same bands as you. We grew up in the era of legendary guitarists! There are still great players out there, but Rhoads, Lynch, Bratta, DeMartini, Friedman, Becker, MacAlpine, Saraceno, Firkins, Howe, Moore, ALL the Shrapnel Records guys, Malmsteen.........and so many more??! We really had some of the greatest of all time! When I saw Ozzy on the Blizzard Tour 81 in Cleveland - my 13 year old mind was completely blown away by Randy Rhoads' live guitar playing! It was INSANE! Within 10 days I had a tobacco-sunburst Crestline Les Paul copy. I wanted to paint it that off-white color so bad, but no. I knew exactly what I wanted to do!!! Great players for sure! Keep doing the good stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤘😁🤘
I bookmarked this and after 2 years finally learned the sweep progression at the end which I really like :). - I think for the positioning on the descending D Major for example, that Jason moves down from the A note on the G string to the F# on the G string then plays the D on the D string A on the A string and F# on the low E string. This allows him to pull of to the E then hammer on to the G for the next E minor. I think he uses the same approach for the B minor. This is how he can ramp up the speed and get it to sound so slippery smooth. All subjective of course, whatever works, works.
Thanks for the lessons, glad that I've subscribed some months ago👍, I just want to say something on your comment: "I'll be honest you right off the bat, I cant play like Jason Becker, I wish"🔥 no worries mate, 99.9% of guitarists cant play like Jason Becker😂 so your not alone. Jason Becker has created the hardest lines on the guitar that even Steve Vai said "Jason has a unique approach, has this relentless attack on the instrument, I cant play like that."😉
This is truly great thank you. I'm a huge Jason Becker fan have been since I was thirteen. Huge influence to my playing today. That wide stretch lick I remember that a long time ago. Of course then I couldn't play shit but I still think it's great.
I'd heard of Jason Becker, but unfortunately had never really heard him. Obviously a terrific talent. The arpeggios are interesting to me, even without the sweeping (which I don't do -- I'm primarily a rhythm and slide player), but the scales themselves have given me something to work into the slide playing. Great vid, as per usual. And awesome playing as well.
Agreed Dave... I don’t really ever play any music with sweeping in it, so I’ve never sat down and worked on it...well, maybe a little, then I said eff this stuff...this is too hard!!!
I came up with one exercise not sure if its economical, but its like the hotel california chord progression. You can just do three note chord arpeggios that have the bottom moving 1/2 steps by starting on 1st to 3rd of the sixth chord then back to first with the 2 chord. all major for example start on g arpeggiate a couple octaves then back down then up to g# being the starting note for the e arpeggio then same up and back down then to A ...the pattern repeats. You can move it up or back down but you get those connectors to the chords moving in half steps. cycle of something up a sixth down a fifth etc. thats what the hotel california progression does basically
It's reminiscent, he is playing it in G major, chord sequence of the Pachelbel Cannon is ; I-V-vi-iii-IV-I-IV-V so in D--> D>A>Bm>F#m>G>D>G>A, so transposed to G major--> G>D>Em>Bm>C>G>C>D.

Like Yngwie said about learning Paganini's 5th caprice "why do boring scales and arpeggio's when you can play actual Music" or something to that effect...
I totally agree. Imagine if all of us were forced to stop playing the instrument we love at 18 years of age, and our legacy would be based on all we had created and recorded up until that point in our lives...
It starts at 0:00 like all videos. Having an open mind allows one to learn at a much faster rate. I've been a guitar instructor since the early 1980's myself, and I guarantee David knows exactly what he's doing. P.S. Not bashing you personally, just debunking your misinformation for others who may make the same mistake you are. No hate, just trying to help other players (and yourself if you're interested) in learning faster and better. ^-^
Not Eric Johnson But definitely Yngwie Malmsteen Eric Johnson cascading is different from Jason Becker's Sliding Arpeggios Marty Friedman's Slide and Cascade combined arpeggios.. Totally different styles... But he's definitely advanced than Yngwir
@@Busyfingers24 venomous fingers was great too, he went a bit off the deep end on the weirdness on the albums after that. also the ring of fire album "the oracle" has some great playing on it
Thanks for the heads up about George. Awesome player, and I especially love his advanced melodic sensibilities. That said, both Jason and Frank are cleaner and faster sweepers. To be fair that's just judging only by the two videos of George I just watched. I'll certainly be watching more though, especially since my own style is more similar to how George plays.
@@estelombo yes sir, agree 100% and the Oracle is great! Honestly I can't get over how damn good the Mind Over Matter album is! Have you seen the YT clip where he's at a beach somewhere and starts jamming on somebody's sidewalk rig...pretty cool, especially for the dude that rig belongs too👍
I was fortunate to see Cacophony live 3 times. Those dudes took me to another world, I tells ya.
I only saw them once, but wow!
Hey man I remember you from interviewing Brandon Ellis, the most glorious guitar player ever :D
@@interestingthings8598 doug has a you tube channel as well, good guy straight forward teacher.
I can only imagine!
A lot of people focus on Jason's technique but his composition skills were off the chart .

He's still writing music! The album he made features many guitar player's such as Michael Lee Firkins Satriani, Vai to name a few
I can't get enough of Jason's playing. He could absolutely shred but would build these gorgeous melodies and progressions from the licks he was burning through. He'd play those arpeggios so fast you didnt hear individual notes but just the flavour of the notes without it simply being a chord.
I wish my sweeping was as poor as yours David 😀🤘
Awesome.
One of the very best there ever has been, and an extremely brave lesson if you're out of your comfort zone.

Are there tabs for this lesson?
If you watch Jason closely you can clearly see that he picks all the notes when he’s sweep picking.
WATCH THE JASON BECKER DOCO ''NOT DEAD YET' IT IS SO INSPIRING
Behringer V amp! Did you change your gear?
jason really isn't all about sweep. it's his melody and his way of playing each note in the melody. sweeping is secondary to what he does.
To call Jason Becker a sweeper or a shredder is doing him a disservice. He is so much more
I totally agree. Imagine if all of us were forced to stop playing the instrument we love at 18 years of age, and our legacy would be based on all we had created and recorded up until that point in our lives...
