He was featured on the cover of Guitar Player magazine, a lifelong dream of his, where he was called вЂњthe greatest shredder ever.вЂќ Then more and more things started to fall into place for Jason. Watch the trailer for Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet The result, Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet, is a fascinating look into the world of guitar heroes, ALS survivors, family love, and great music. JasonвЂ™s fans never forgot about him, and one of them, an aspiring film maker named Jesse Vile, set about documenting JasonвЂ™s life up until this point. Michael Lee Firkins realizes Jason BeckerвЂ™s guitar parts on вЂњEnd of the Beginning.вЂќ With the help of his team-and the guitar work of players like Michael Lee Firkins and Joe Satriani-Jason continued to write, record, and release songs. And JasonвЂ™s brain was chock-full of music like it always was. ALS is a strange disease, in that the muscles fail but the brain keeps on going. Most importantly, Jason never stopped composing music. Jason and Gary Becker demonstrate the вЂњeye geometryвЂќ that allows Jason to communicate words and musical notes. His dad, Gary, developed a communication system whereby Jason could spell words via eye movements and continue to communicate, despite the fact that he could no longer speak in the conventional sense. With help from his support network, he got on a diet that could not just sustain him but help him regain weight and get healthier. Shortly thereafter, Jason would be unable to walk, talk, or even breathe on his own.ДЄlong the way, though, a funny thing happened. Although he completed the DLR album A Little AinвЂ™t Enough, he would soon lose the ability to play his beloved instrument. Right when everything was falling into place, everything fell apart and Jason was given three to five years to live. It was also around that time that, according to his mom Pat, вЂњall the troubles began.вЂќДЄ nagging pain in JasonвЂ™s leg was soon diagnosed as ALS, or Lou GehrigвЂ™s Disease. It was around that time that Jason contacted the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop to create the multicolored pickups that went into one of his main guitars.Д¬heck out JasonвЂ™s work with David Lee Roth. The most coveted job in rock guitar was JasonвЂ™s, and he set about writing tunes with Dave and getting ready to unleash his amazing brand of guitar playing on the world. The demo was so impressive that even the eternally humble Becker would tell Guitar Player magazine, вЂњEven before I went to the audition I was pretty sure I had the gig.вЂќДЄnd get the gig he did. Watch JasonвЂ™s mind boggling вЂњHot for TeacherвЂќ intro. That bears repeating: He picked all the notes to the intro of вЂњHot for Teacher.вЂќ It made for an astounding, unheard-of display of technique that still managed to possess the all groove and swagger of the original. He tapped one track and picked all the notes on the other. With no notice at all, Jason recorded an audition tape of Van HalenвЂ™s вЂњHot for Teacher,вЂќ on which he double-tracked EVHвЂ™s famous tapped intro. They needed a guitarist who could not only replicate the parts played by Eddie Van Halen and Steve Vai, but also bring his own trip to the proceedings. His amazing playing would attract the attention of Gregg Bissonette, who had a little gig with a singer named David Lee Roth. The tunes displayed his deep knowledge of classical harmony, rock bombast, and unreal technical skills. Watch Jason put on an amazing arpeggio clinic.ДЄfter blowing every available mind with his work with fellow shredder Marty Friedman in Cacophony, Jason would release his first solo record, Perpetual Burn, an album that would set a new standard for instrumental shred. Some players just have it, and Jason Becker is one of them. WhatвЂ™s more, he possessed the sense of humor-in both his guitar playing and his life-that inspired everyone around him. Jason had the feel, the touch, the vibrato, and the soul that separates good guitarists from great ones.

He developed truly jaw-dropping technique at a very young age, but it wasnвЂ™t just that he could play fast scales. Jason was a child prodigy, strumming Bob Dylan tunes before graduating to Clapton, Van Halen, and Yngwie licks. Occasionally you meet someone who is both. After more than 20 years since he first worked with the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop, Jason Becker reached out to Duncan to once again talk pickups, and the result is the Jason Becker Perpetual Burn Humbucker.Д«ut to explain how Jason and Duncan got to this point requires a little bit of history, and that history goes something like this: YouвЂ™ve got your guitar heroes and then youвЂ™ve got your real-life heroes.
