Guitar: Max Dible
About Jason Becker: Jason Becker is an American rock guitarist and composer. At the age of 16, he became part of the Mike Varney-produced duo Cacophony with his friend Marty Friedman. They released Speed Metal Symphony in 1987 and Go Off! in 1988. Cacophony broke up in 1989 and Becker began doing solo work, having released his first album Perpetual Burn in 1988. He later joined David Lee Roth's band and recorded one album with him. However, Becker's success was hampered by his then-diagnosed amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and he was given three to five years to live. In 1996, Becker eventually lost the ability to speak and now communicates with his eyes via a system developed by his father. Despite his disability, he continues composing by using a computer. Today, he remains one of the most influential rock guitarists in the world.
About Max Dible: Max Dible is a graduate of the Berklee College of Music where he majored in composition. He has been close friends with Jason Becker for well over a decade and has spent countless hours, alongside Jason himself, documenting Jason's playing style. No other guitarist has had the opportunity to work directly with Jason to fully decipher all the intricacies of Jason's music. The results are presented in DC Music School's In The Style Of Jason Becker lessons.

Everyone who sees this, pick up your guitar, and play just for Jason Becker, remember how lucky you are.
♥️
no
Amen
Everytime I look at my guitar I'm thankful, no matter how badly I play, the sensation is wonderful
yeah bro, I feel you.
Jason Becker is the stephen Hawking of the guitar, a Genius!
Becker is still alive
He IS*
*IS
"Is"
Definitely Stephen hawking
It saddens me how Jason keeps staring at the guitar, and I feel he has this strong urge to play :'(
That's how I felt towards him :(
You can see his pure and very passionate love for the instrument in his eyes so clearly. In fact, you can see a lot in his eyes. It's similar to how a blind person hears more clearly than normal because that is how the world appears to them. Jason now communicates everything through his eyes, and they have become beautifully expressive as a result.
Some of this is sad yea, I'm sure he misses playing, but some other of his talents have grown as a result. I think his compositions are deeper, and more soulful than ever now.
If nothing else, Jason has become even more of an inspiration than ever before, because of his limitations. I'm certainly even more inspired by him now, and I was pretty blown away in 1988.
Mudhar Mahmood I actually felt so sad I actually traded up. 😭
@@cambell9 Don't be like that, man. We should appreciate Max's effort. It's hard, if you ask me
He does
heeello, i m the owner of dc music school,and the producer of these videos. i m sad to see a lot of people bashing max. i stand by my decision of choosing max, an unknown player but in my opinion , the best expert on jason s style. max has been friends with jason for maybe 15 yrs now, has spent a lot of time with jason cataloguing and analyzing his music directly with jason and the master tapes that jason owns, another words, he has access to each isolated track of jason s music. at dc music school, i m motivated by my passion for sharing music and doing it right first and foremost.. money making is important for me too (and jason and max) but honesty, authenticity and passion come first...if i wanted to, i could ve gotten a famous guitarist to teach but i know for sure that no one else comes close as far as knowledge is concerned.. max is no slouch on the guitar either.. i m curious about people saying he s sloppy?! the signal is recorded dry, and i transcribed the parts myself,his playing is very clean and articulate. yes there are a few notes that could ve been cleaner here and there, but everyone makes mistakes, including jason himself back in the day.. finally consider this, this is the OFFICIAL instructional video approved by jason himself, he entrusted us to do the best job we can do, gave us full rights to everything within his legal control, would he do that if he didnt have faith in max? i thank jason from the bottom of my hurt for trusting me in my decision to use max. thank u for the people who purchased the lessons, one of my reasons for doing this was also to help jason financially as well.. so ur support helps him and helps me produce other lessons in the future
I stand by you guys 100%. If you don't know a lick about theory or haven't a clue what sweep picking is then this simply WASN'T MADE FOR YOU. Quit looking to to spoonfed... This isn't MTV. Why don't you take the few seconds of your life that it takes to research something? This is the information age after all. There is absolutely no excuse for sounding like an idiot on the internet.
Denis Chang Well said, it would be better still if the others would read it.
I'm SHOCKED by the majority of these replies. WTF. What Max is doing here is not only a musical gift, first to guitarists, then to other musicians and anyone else interested in Jason's music, technique, and modern electric guitar in general. Guitarists should have nothing but praise and thank-you's to Jason, Max, and DC Music. This was obviously a labor of love for Max, and THANKFULLY Jason agreed--he didn't have to. So, since so many who are making comments are totally off and on Planet Buttwart, I will do what anyone watching this should do, by saying: Thank you, Max, Jason, and Denis (DC Music) for presenting this awesome gift to guitar players and musicians anywhere and everywhere!
Well said Denis. I for one, am grateful to have someone like Max breakdown Jason's incredible compositions and techniques and document them in high quality video for us to enjoy. Don't let these morons ill thought comments discourage your good work.
Any portion of proceeds going to Jason?
Jason's such a badass at the guitar he doesn't even need to play it, he just projects it to this guy's brain.
Jason looks so kewl all the time! He's like, "newb i did that when i was 15".. ;D
he did it
lol newb...hahaha...I was doing this at age 15 too.
Max Dible but Jason invented this
mustment111 ...Hahahaha
🤣🤣🤣
Jason is looking at that guy like an old kung fu master looks at his student when they master a new technique. if only he could stroke his beard.......
C861986 ...Hahahaha
He is stroking his beard, he just has to do it with his eyes is all.
But I can see it clear as day, lols.
They don't stroke beards, they hit one with a bo staff or something like that.
@@aylbdrmadison1051 lol
Jason be like: Nooooo...... it's not like that, let me show how it's done.
I wonder how often Jason thinks: "Man, I wanna do that..."
It just breaks my heart
MadafakaJones same here. It really is sad. He truly had it all at one point.
I agree about the sad part, to an extent, but just listen to what he is doing now. His compositional abilities have become much better, and he is still doing what he loves most: making music. He hasn't let himself die or fall into obscurity because of his illness. He has instead carried on, because it is who he is as a person that matters most, just like all of us.
*Jason used to **_just_** be a guitar hero, now he is a Hero in every sense of the word.*
That thought hurts my heart. I HAVE to AT LEAST play one day a week. Couldn't imagine never feeling the strings on my finger tips ever again... especially being a shredder like beckler is. Deepest respect for the guy.
:(
I bet nobody noticed Jason's pet on his knees haha :)
Bro that snake is bugging me out o hell no
@@Sativa989 ik me too lol as soon as I saw it I can’t stop looking at it and now i’m going to go watch another video
It breaks my heart to see Jason like that
Jason would give his life to play a last arpeggio on a guitar
Pretty sure an arpeggio wouldn't be the one last thing he'd want to play.
I don’t think he would but ok, he still has a lot to live for
@ Rodrigo
Yes!
😨😨
😰😰😰
😢😢😢😢
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I seriously think if jason was at the crossroads instead of the Karate kid; a deal would be made - and he'd kick Steve Vai's ass too.
If he give his life for it, he would not be alive to plat it, makes sense for you?
Haha, the look on Jason's face and the way he rolls his eyes. "Who the fuck is this noob they brought in?"
where's your video of you playing this?
Haydon Couch
There isn't one, because I can't and never claimed to. Where's yours? Is your sense of humour with it?
That's Jason's friend Max actually, so I doubt that.
MissAimbot
Again. Learn the concept of humour.
inefficiency Being that a lot of comments are bashing Max the concept of humour and ridicule are a fine line here.
Jason's facial expressions are priceless.
Imagine playing Jason's stuff in front of the man himself. I would shit bricks!
Would be easier for me than playing for my family, lols.
Aylbdr Madison thought I was the only one who hated playing in front of my family. I could literally play for anyone else except them lol
@Trevor Beckett: My thoughts exactly :)
I"d flub every arpeggio as well
@@ignacio8529 same and I don't know why
somebody get cures for Jason Becker please!
Not so easy man. Very uncurable. Fucking als
i think the cures are on the way. Elon Musk's company is making a good brain interface that should conceivably be able to listen to the brain signals directly, and with that there are many possibilities.
incurable!!! 🙄🙄🙄
In Mexico someone can cure in valle de Santiago ...
@@lobozozoworkout821 bullshit
Max is a brilliant guitarist promoting and explaining the musical genius that Jason was and is today. They re long time pals and he is a dedicated fan. In this wonderful course there is not or ever will be "douche-iness" involved.Jason picked him up for the job and thats enough for me. Give the guy a break and maybe we all learn a part of Jason's Un-fraking-believable-Allien like-mastery of the instrument.
I would hope that he would at least be able to play it clean if he's going to teach people. I'm sure he's capable of playing it clean but not in this video he's not.
@@9lc978 his tone is not great but i don't see the problem with his technique
@@johncharles.5087 agreed. Hes not as good as jason, but who is?
Jason's style of playing arpeggios is definately my favorite. It's actually the reason why I started listening to his music. Some guitarists use it just for wank bullshit, but Jason always makes it musical in the most interesting of ways!
we cover this in the video, Jason doesn't just actually run up and down arpeggios, he does certain little ornaments as well, and he sometimes uses specific fingerings to achieve a specific sound!
Well, Jason's face can't move very much, but the few times it does, It really seems he wants to smile.
I like this video, they seem to go way back. I don't think just "some guy" would talk to Jason friggin' Becker right out the bat.
Also, the playing is great. Good video c:
Although I totally agree with your first, second, and fourth sentences, I absolutely disagree with the third.
I never met Jason personally, but I have been good friends with a couple who knew him back in high school and even earlier. By all accounts, he actually is the sort of guy who would talk to anyone. ^-^
That dude was my guitar teach at Murrieta academy of music. Max. What a shredder
Some of you people are just plain rude. First, if Jason didn't approve of any of this video, it wouldn't be online for you to see. Second, how exactly is Max an asshole? Have you met him? Did he do something to you, personally? He was invited to Jason's home and invited to play. And if you ever heard Jason's playing or heard his rig, it was raw and noisy. Sometimes, even Jason couldn't play his own stuff cleanly.
So, unless you're in the know, just be quiet, click the thumbs-up or thumbs-down, and keep your ignorant opinions to yourself. Jason reads the comments and you totally bum him out by speaking poorly of him and his friends. Go make your own music before you talk smack.
Best comment in here man, thanks.
Dejan Dejc
From your "blah blah fast stuff, look at what I can do" seems that you are not happy with what you could get from the content. And that is based on what YOU can find on the lessons, if you don't look from high enough you can't see too much, and to see High Enough you really need to get sometime for yourself to climb some steps. Jason's Stuff is pretty HIGH LEVEL both from composition and playing capabilities, don't expect ONE DvD to teach you all the process, It can't even be aimed to Beginners, so it dosen't even need to be "easy" enough from their grasp.
Dejan Dejc i'm sorry you feel that we did a lousy job, but the truth is, we planned this for a year, and divided the lessons into 3 distinct categories. Maybe you feel that you don't like the way Max speaks, he is definitely a quirky fellow, but to me that's just his personality. the goal of these lessons is to teach the students the concepts that Jason used in his playing, and from there you apply these concepts to your own playing. We showed the video to Jason as well, here is his email to me "[...]I just saw the couple clips that Denis sent, and I think you both kicked ass together! I am so proud of you guys and am so grateful. I think you look, sound and talk great, Max, and Denis, you are a fantastic editor! I think you both taught people how to "fish," rather than giving them a few lame licks. "
These videos are not for hardcore beginners, they are for intermediate/advanced players who are interested in the intricacies of jason's actual playing style.
+Denis Chang his attempt at humour comes off as arrogance and patronizing
Jason was clean most of the time. But yeah, there were some few times where he would fuck up xD
The spirit in Jason is so strong.
It’s just incredible that Jason still writes his amazing music even though he’s no longer able to play. He’s an absolute musical genius!
I believe in my heart that Jason will play again , if there is a will there is a way ! And Jason has it !
Sorry but that's never going to happen.
I was lucky enough to see Cacophony and a few clinics him and Marty did back in 88-89. Nice guys amazing shows with maybe 50 people there.
Universe, God whoever you are up there, heal this man!
Let's remember that Jason sees all this in his mind faster and before most people even thought of it. Pure love for the guitar and a man who has the courage to be with it anyway he can. That is the true mark of a master. Thanks Jason and all who assist us with trying to get 2 percent of his knowledge with all functioning parts.
I so rarely comment on these types of videos, but some of what I'm reading is just bizarre and catty. First off, Max is doing a great job on Serrana. The complaint about him being a bad teacher... seriously, if you don't hear each of these arpeggios, mostly just triads, and immediately determine "major," or "minor," etc, then you're attempting to play above your depth. I don't want a bunch of wasted time with Max explaining each arpeggio, and the techniques of sweeping and hammers and pulls... I want a proven "this is exactly the fingerings I used" from Jason. Isn't that EXACTLY what this is? Jason, in his own words, and with his own fingers, taught his concepts for preferred fingerings and picking techniques, in his previous release. This one is filling in a gap in the market, and is officially from Jason--it's not some assholes taking advantage of him. Why don't you lighten up, be thankful that he did this with ANYONE, and cheer everyone on. Then go and practice.
Christopher Ptacek Well fucking said.
If you can't learn it from this, you aren't meant to be playing this.
+Christopher Ptacek Exactly. I instantly recognized every arpeggio shape. It's just a matter of the little things in there. If you watch this and don't recognize the major and minor shapes and the key they're in then you need to go back and learn your arpeggio shapes.
Christopher Ptacek
I totally agree bro !!
I know I'm 3 years late!!
Well said
This gives a great insight on his technique!!
As already stated: well said.
Christopher Ptacek and people doesn’t realize that these guys are actually friends for years!
I’ve been listening to JB for 30 years or so... STILL gives me goosebumps to hear and feel the music he made
Jason is one of the guitar Gods. We are lucky to have him in our world.
I especially always loved the chromatic lick coming out of the diminished arpeggio.
Beautifully composed voice leading.
That chromatic lick really exists in the original music? I saw a video Jason playing and I have my doubts
i'm really love jason becker.,..
I love how Jason is still inspiring people to play the guitar even though he can no longer play the instrument himself. The man is a legend 👍🏼
I love this tone!! Your playing is insane man. Jason you are the man! I always pray for you my brother. Keep going and never give up!
wow Max is amazing, he has it down perfectly
Seriously anyone notice the snake in Jason's lap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
should be top comment
It is Max’s snake! (The man who is playing the guitar)
Yes, there are people commenting on that years before your comment. Calm down with the exclamation marks.
I didn’t until another person pointed it out
SHIT! I missed it entirely!
Example of overcoming, even with so many limitations Becker has established himself as one of the best musicians of all time. Great respect for this KING of composition
Playing Serrana in front of Jason.... 1000% respect!!
What's the matter with some of you guys? The dude was shredding hard!
deathbastardable, he plays great but his tone has to much gain
Peanut Butter and JEALOUS!!
Ignore them.
Disparaging commenters like those are just talent-less assholes _trying_ to make themselves look good by downplaying what others do. They have even utterly failed in recognizing the single most basic principle of music: *it is an art form.*
@@aylbdrmadison1051
Absolutely correct, I never have been a fan of sweep picking (as a guitar player myself) but I'd never say someone sweep picking is a bad player. It just means they enjoy that style of playing and I don't.
@@umbra9705 Well sound like the tone of Jason from his first album
Wow, spot on! Been playing for 20 years now and I really feel like attempting this. Probably should have done it when I was 20 not 36 but if Jason can do what he has done in his challenging life then I can noodle out some epic arpeggios as show by this very talented fellow shredding right beside the legend himself! Thanks for decades of inspiration and perspective! Love ya always Jason!
Most people will give up on life when they fall ill. Thank you, Jason, for teaching us your guitar techniques. Please keep on your good work.
Jason Becker in a living legend! one of the best in the world....
I love it when Jason smiles! So sad that he was literally the greatest guitar player ever (And still is), and he just had to get that talent ripped away from him. Plus he’s so cool, he’s just chillin with a snake in his lap, legend!
Jason is such a genius.
Holy Crap I wouldn't even be able to pick up a guitar in front of Jason let alone try playing like him!!! Sooooo glad to see him still hanging in there…God bless you Jason!!!!!
I really respect Jason's friends and family for keeping him involved in music all these years. I can't imagine living any other way as a musician. I'd have to be part of it somehow even if it's just answering yes and no questions.
I wish Jason could get his muscle movement back. Amazing that he’s been around so long with ALS.
god bless jason, his spirit is HUGE!
Big props to Max, first for doing the video, and then coming on here with all the rude comments, and not once being a troll. I can't speak for Max, but it is insanely humbling and frightening to have Jason ask you to play for him. I know, because I've been asked and it felt like I'd never picked up a guitar in my life. What was I going to play for this guy without being laughed out of the room? And, I've seen quite a few notable pros do the same thing. Good on you, Max!
This is pretty spot the fuck on. Max nails this and the rest of the Jason Becker Instructional series...
The guy is a super accomplished player... straight up guys.
Who else wants to start a petition to the US government to help in the funding of research trials to finally cure this ALS disease? We need to get Jason Becker back to full health so he can play his guitars for us again! I can't imagine the hell he must be going through seeing someone else play his songs on his guitars while he is unable to do so himself. Lets get the cure for this Guitar Legend!
You mean the ice bucket challenge XD
Man, Ibrahimovic can play!
haha, I knew I had seen this guy somewhere, the exact replica!!
Ibra cadabra!!
His name is Max Dible actually...
One of my favorite people ever: Jason Becker!!!!! Thanks, guys!!!!!
That's frickin' amazing guys, thanks for putting this video up! God bless
This is the moment where everybody cry
Imagine they find a cure for him and he builds back up over a few years his skills and releases the guitar album of all albums. I wish it could happen
There is breakthrough research in Crispr technology being done on ALS, actually.
Neuralink perhaps?
@Feeby Peels think neuro link is for spinal injuries 👍
Jason if you read this i would like to say that for me you are a model I am French and i m 15 and want to say to you that you are amazing and maybe it won't be really important from a little 15 years old player but I am totally crazy about what you do and what you did, for me you are the perfect illustration of the best musician, I would like to say that I support you and share to you all of my love because you deserve it
thank You
Jason is the BEST GUITAR PLAYER EVER ♥
JASON BECKER = GENIUS 🎸🎶💯
Really good playing buddy! Looks like Jason approves:)
Jason is the best, thanks to his solos and his great technique I learned a lot, the best!
Amazing, thx for the vid guys. One of the best "neo-classical" phenomenal arpeggio runs
Im not here for the lesson. Im here to see Jason smile.
... is Jason holding a snake?
Jason is holding Max's snake Monty... Yes .. Yes I know it can mean two things....
DC Music School It's quite the impressive snake.
***** yeah it is.
I love how the vid just cuts from the dude shredding and Jason just sitting there, to the guy talking and then Jason has a big motherfucking snake on his lap. Made me laugh.
Man I didn't even notice it until you said something. Yeah it is a ball python that looks to be pretty chilled out sitting there.
I think about Jason a lot and more lately. He is a legend and a hero to me.
Hi. I don't care what you do or what's going on, I'm happy to see Jason any which way you got. In Jason's short time scratching strings, he added a lot of joy to my life.
3:09 His smile
He looks like Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
+Kee eeV Yes he does.
@@kawakami thx i was looking for this comment!
Also like Bolsonaro
Jason's facial expressions are priceless. You can almost see what he is thinking. It's great to see him smile.
I just needed The first seconds to realize this guys has studied jason's material , excellent Job !
Que emoção da porra ver uma cena dessa
Noise gate emergency here!!!! Love Jason though
Great video. Love the Serrana Arpeggios.
Jasonn!!!! U must know you are a TOTAL INSPIRATION TO ME. THANK U FOR MAKING MY LIFE MORE MEANINGFUL
WHY IS NO ONE COMMENTING ON THE PYTHON ON HIS LAP
oh wtf, just saw that
I think it's important to notice that there appears to be a python on Jason's lap. Lol
Just chilling, hearing some arpeggios...I would of missed it like 99% of the ppl. Good observation, sherlock.
we appreciate you very much Jason
Sounding so good, I've gotta learn this!!
FIRMLY GRASP IT!!!
Dude, you made me lose my shit
Out
oh, no...
It must be hell being a prisoner in you're own body. I really hope they find a cure for ALS and other similar diseases in the near future. Rock on Jason!
Jason you are the one!
what a legend JASON BECKER !!
jason " eyebrow means get the fuck out. Lip means get the fuck out."
hahahahaah....damn u i extracted the wisdom tooth today and i shouldnt laugh :DDDDDDDD

Absolutely Dope. Your awesome. Love you Jason.
You can tell how much Jason is enjoying it... and how badly he wants to play 💔😭 We love you Jason 💜💜💜
with all the other guitarists Jason knows, I wish he would have had someone else do this video.
why tf
2:12 - yeah lamb
I watched this video a bunch of times before I went into the comments. Honestly beyond shocked that anyone had anything negative to say about it. This helped me so much, I thought it was fantastic.
I can't see more than one minute of this video. My friend Jason, a brilliant musician and human being in the predicament he's in. I just clicked to see if that was the Ibanez anniversary guitar I have. Friggin love you, always man-stay strong.
Someone needs a noise gate
True, but all and all the playing is good
Noise gate please guys
Why? He's giving a demo not recording an album. If anything; you get a noise gate for when youre playing it.
Jason looks like he wants to punch that guy square in the face
mase ofspades ajajajaja I thought the same thing XD
+mase ofspades SMH Why am I letting this dude play my shit. Can't even do it right.
+mase ofspades If I had the same problem, I would feel like punching anyone in the face, regardless of who they were.
they have been close friends for over 15years u idiot.
mase ofspades yea those last accents were sad
amazing, thanks for the video guys
Outstanding!
Wow, this is so sad
alexa play desp...
metriko100 Que idiota, aunque me dió risa xd
But there is something beautiful happening here too. Just look at him, he is more driven, inspired, and even better as a composer now than ever before.
*Jason is a Hero now,* not _just a guitar hero._ He is a true Hero in every sense of the word, and we are all blessed to be able to witness it, and in turn be inspired to greater achievements.
it's sad at first, but also beautiful. His work inspiring others.
i feel really like shit watching how jason stares at the guitar
Give this man the power of getting back on his hands and he will play music from future. Happy birthday 🎂🎉
Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the guitar!!
Alessio Corritore ibra can do everything LOL
No, it is actually Max Dible. I am sorry to inform yu
Zlatan is it you?
It is fuuny! Thank you! And thank you for the lesson!
Thanks Mr. Jason Becker, for the amazing and Devine inspiration of feel free by soul. My regards and improvement to your Life.
