Jason Becker has been my favorite guitarist for quite some time. Unfortunately, I wasn't even alive while he was in his prime, but luckily there exists this DVD that may help any and all fans of fantastic music, guitar, motor neuron diseases (ALS), or perhaps getting in a few good laughs. Jason was and still is a musical genius. Due to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (also known as 'Lou Gehrig's Disease') Jason can no longer move nor speak. The majority of this video is from a clinic whereat Mr. Becker demonstrated his skills to the students of AIM (Atlanta Institute of Music) and now all of us! It took place in 1989, but it also has clips from one of Jason's high school performances as he plays Yngwie Malmsteen's famous "Black Star" flawlessly and with his own additions. This film also contains footage of his unforgettable yo-yoing-while-shredding-on-guitar trick. I, myself, play guitar daily but have become bored by theory and more "textbook" material, yet I was still able to take a lot from this video. Jason lives on but never with the lively spirit as I've seen in this video. He was the most admirable of people and shall never be forgotten. I would recommend this to anyone, anywhere, anytime. If you already love Jason Becker, then you'll love him tenfold after watching this video, if you have yet to be amazed by his magical gift of making music, then you will certainly fall in love after this.
