Let this sink in.
Jason wrote this as a kid.
Absolutely incredible
most probably the best solo cover in all youtube history ever...
Dude I mean that's Jeff loomis you are talking about, what would you expect?
CZcams history is not done yet.
Jeff is incredible!
This one is up there...czcams.com/video/BmjAsjGbdXk/video.html
Agreed
Becker made this when he was 19.....what the fuck man lol
Foligno do you believe in reincarnation now? he practiced stuff in last life time ;) ;)
Foligno Becker would have been the greatest of all time had he not been stricken with disease. Love that guy man!
Foligno He actually made this when he was 16-17. He released the album when he was 19.
Foligno he was a genius too bad hes paralyzed :(
+Foligno *17
Anyone else notice the picture of Jason in the back ground?
Yeah.. He is a big fan of Jason.
That is a picture of god.
Right Away...
en ningun momento pude sacar los ojos de sus dedos..
aQuestionableQuestion yeah. Perpetual Burn is my #2 album ever
Loomis' picking is so violent, yet the result is so clean and vibrant in tonality.
the sheer articulation in this cover is fucking mind blowing!
Loomis is a fuckin madman on guitar in his own right. This is a righteous cover!
Kinnzie Martin That is coz Loomis is the best shredder ever!
Best shredder, yes.
A petition needs to be started for Jeff to cover Altitudes. Since I started listening to Jeff, on earlier albums in Nevermore, you could hear the Cacophony influences all over the place. He's also a Marty Friedman fan. A dream come true is to watch Friedman and Loomis (doing Jason's parts) live one day, covering both Cacophony albums.
You sir, are a genius! That would be the coolest concert ever! I would sell my car, my families house, and all of my gear in order to afford those tickets
it would be really really epic. Loomis and Marty are Friends thats why Marty collaborated doing the solo in Loomis´s Mercurial
I need to see Marty and Jeff play a flawless rendition of Speed Metal Symphony before I die now
Would be great to see a cacophony rendition, but no way in hell marty is able to play like the good old days from the cacophony era, he has been losing his technique since he joined megadeth.
did you see marty live playing after he left megadeth while solo touring ? he is perfect.
I just can't fathom Becker's potential man. If it would not have been for ALS ,who knows we might have had a reborn Beethoven amongst us...
He already is , he´s composing with his eyes today with a device created by his father , facing illness but still making music just like Beethoven ...
Truth is the best guitar players today, you name them, are nowhere near the genius of classical music composer's.
yeah...comparing this to Beethoven, sry, but this can't even touch anything like a Beethoven Symphony
Exactly right...
why the actual fuck
could you send your ansswer to Jijst5@hotmail.com
i'm really curious
I find classical music so overrated
Bear in mind Jeff is about 40 here and Jason did this at 19/20
And I'm not saying that as something against Jeff
I'm saying it as a compliment towards Jason
Jason actually wrote it at 16 ;)
Jake Jensen He couldn't play it when he was 16 though. He had to get better then teach himself his own song.
Metal.Drummer A damn good song at that.
Metal.Drummer how do you know that?there's videos of him playing more challenging solos at that age or even younger
Ok forget the "get better" thing. All I'm saying is when he wrote this song he could not play it. He was a stunning guitarist then but everybody plays differently and maybe some parts of Perpetual Burn needed the use of techniques at that point found difficult by him, or even techniques not yet invented. Idk, I'm not attacking him in any way believe me.
Jason Becker was and always will be at the very top of the mountain. Real guitar players and guitar gods agree.
Not
@@billnorris9691 yeah, not what you said
@@billnorris9691 Who then!? before 1989...
Chuck Schindler has entered the chat
@@namjamlewis1844Who ?
if im not mistaken, Loomis and Becker were and still are super good friends, which makes this all the more amazing.
sure you are and jeff adviced marty to join megadeth
And Jeff taught Michael the Moonwalk
@jasper426
I think a comment got deleted lol I love comment threads like that where one comment gets yeeted so nothing after it makes sense.
...my favourite guitarist in my adulthood covering my favourite guitarist in my youth - awesome.
The Modern Hermeticist this is the Law
Not sure whether to begin learning, or quit guitar.
To add insult to injury, I own that very guitar.
So which one did you do?
MrDaoJones haha if he’d started learning that song back when he said this he’d be as good as loomis by now
What did you choose?
Begin and conquer
Gotta LOVE the Becker pic in the background, too. Great cover.
I don't believe that there are many guitarists that could do this! Great Job Jeff Loomis, you are one of the few!
what impresses me the most is these huuuge position changes, sometimes from way near the headstock to some solo in the "lowest" (position wise, not note wise) region of the fretboard and on top of all that with PERFECT transition. And on top of that he starts on the new position with some insane arpeggio and goes on from there. If I heard it without video, I'd swear it would be a punch in take. Only players know how difficult it is to do this stuff so flawlessly. Rarely have I seen a guy with such mastery of control and I have seen all them shredders. Not many can walk besides Jeff with this kinda stuff.
Only Jeff Loomis can play this kind of things and don't get injured. Loomis and Becker: real masters.
Shawn Lane
Jason Becker
John Petrucci
Jeff Loomis
They have no limits and they r Gods in human form
2:48 - 3:00 Never realized this part was so complex untill I saw Jeff had to really clench his teeth while doing this portion. And to think Jason wrote these stuff when he was 18 or 19 which makes a player like Jeff Loomis put that much effort, you can just sit and wonder at his greatness.
Oh man, Jason was just a kid when he recorded this... Best player ever
YEA JASON WAS ONE OF THE BEST GUITARIST I EVER HEARD AN TO ME HE WAS THE BEST AN AFTER LISTENING TO CACOPHONY , BOTH ALBUMS HE DID WITH MARTY FRIEDMAN "SPEED METAL SYMPHONY" AN "GO OFF'' AN HIS SOLO ALBUMS "PERPETUAL BURN" AN '' PERSPECTIVE " MOST PEOPLE WOULD AGREE WITH ME BUT EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINIONS BUT HE RECORDED THIS SHIT WHEN HE WAS SO YOUNG AROUND 17/20 YEARS OLD AN HE COULD BE SWEEP PICKING THE WHOLE SONG ABOUT AN EVEN THOUGH HIS GUITAR PLAYING IN DAVID LEE ROTHS , ''ALITTLE AINT ENOUGH'' WASNT MY FAVORITE COMPARED TO DAVID LEE ROTHS FIRST 2 SOLO ALBUMS WITH STEVE VAI, '' EAT 'EM AN SMILE", AN " SKYSCRAPER", HE COULD PLAY SO MANY DIFFERENT STYLES AN THEN YOU LISTEN TO HIS DEMOS , "BLACKBERRY JAMS" , AN "RASPBERRY JAMS" AN HE HAS SO MANY CRAZY GUITAR RIFFS AN SOLOS AN THEN YOU HEAR HOW HE ARRANGED AN PUT ALL THOSE GUITAR RIFFS & SOLOS TOGETHER & THE FINISHED PRODUCT ON THE 2 SPEED METAL SYMPHONY ALBUMS & HIS SOLO ALBUMS AN YOU WONDER HOW HE COULD TO ALL THAT AN THINK OF HOW MUCH EFFORT AN TIME WENT IN TO WRITING AN PLAYING/MEMORIZING ALL THOSE CRAZY GUITAR PARTS AN EVEN THOUGH THE SINGER ON "SPEED METAL SYMPHONY" ,& " GO OFF" ISNT THAT GOOD(SUCKED) , THE GUITAR PARTS ( THE SOLOS & MELODIES " ) THAT HIM AM MARTY FRIEDMAN PLAY ARE INSANE AN THEY WERE PLAYING THIS WAY 30 FUCKING YEARS AGO AROUND 1986/1988 AN THERE ARE STILL SOME REALLY GREAT GUITARIST OUT NOW BUT NO ONE WILL EVER BEAT BECKER AN FRIEDMAN AN OUT OF ALL THE BADASS GUITARIST THAT WERE SIGNED AN PLAYED FOR "SHARPNEL RECORDS " I THINK JASON BECKER WAS THE BEST MUSICIAN AN AN I HEARD ALL OF THE OTHER GUITARISTS 1ST ALBUMS ON SHRAPNEL AN JASON WAS AN WILL "THE KING -!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t forget about Shawn Lane.
Jason was far ahead of our time!
@@MrShredtilldead Becker , Lane right there together.
@@MrShredtilldead regarding those technical shredding abilities and fast thinking Shane was the best ever , IMHO he is league for him self can't compare Him with others...he was monster in positive connotation. Real jazz fusion beast
Well, watching this really puts into perspective how good Becker was. Incredible.
Brilliant playing on this masterpiece!!! Would love to see Eleven Blue Egyptians as well as Altitudes :-))
Damn, his fingers move faster than they should. Jason Becker is my personal #1 guitarist, so to cover this song so well shows how talented Jeff Loomis is.
Jeff Loomis is one of those great guitarists that is deserving of so much more recognition than he gets.
As a lifelong fan of Jason, I give you the tag which certifies your video as the best cover ever of this great song
Celestial. I can´t stop thinking the way Jason would be playing right now.
Jason poster in the back. Woah man.
I'm not sure what's more impressive: the fact that Loomis played this so goddamn flawlessly, even cleaner than Becker did on the album, or the fact that Becker wrote this song in the first place when he was a teenager
As I've been a player for 22 years, there are times when I just get burned out for long sections of time, but when I hear Jason Becker stuff, I am thrilled to pick it back up! Jason Becker is one of my favorites and always will be!!!!
I once had a dream where Jason taught me one of the middle pieces of Mabel's Fatal Fable. Love Jason, love his music, he's a True Inspiration.
To this day, mabel's fatal fable is my favorite song. I love all genres of music but that.....that is total, unabated savagery to the max, and beautifully so.
Anytime I've had to say "do you know who Jason Becker is?", I play that song and it has floored *everyone*
Jeff is the only one who can play it note for note accurate like the album. Jason is proud!
Simply fascinating. One take, no cuts, 100% real yet hard to believe it is even possible.
Im 49yrs old and have played guitar since I was 14yrs. I think Jeff Loomis is one of the greatest of my time
Goddammit Jeff... Get the fuck out of my internet!!! That was so good... So so fucking good!! Inspires me to consider moving on from strumming Wonderwall.
Kevin McK hahahahaha
Kevin McK and look at the top left corner.. man's a true fan!
Green day lmao
the single best cover to exist of any song ever
he must have really wanted to learn this song, jason becker poster even... (not many pple got a jason becker poster)
It's the biggest challenge for every guitarist in the world to play that song, and jeff has done it....
Please wait 24 hours before watching another video. The internet has officially been broken! My god Jeff thank you!! Being able to see it performed in such detail is a gift to JB lovers like myself. You slayed it, and i'm sure Jason is proud.
How could anyone dislike this?
Seriously though. One of the greatest modern guitar players perfectly covering the work of an absolute legend. It is a show of respect! and so well done at that. Some people must be born without ears.
jealousy
John Yentes This!
Not saying that I could do any better but but did the first sweeps wrong.
Because assholes everywhere. Humans are shit. Loomis plays song of his hero and does it well. Should be nothing to dislike here.
Jason Becker for me is the best guitarist ever. If this dude could've played at least till he was 25 he would put every guitar player to shame. Always a Jason Becker fan.
Can't help but agree with you if Shawn Lane was not born.
The day this video came out..I threw my guitar in the trash can. This is still the best version on CZcams
I NEVER get tired of watching this video!!! What a great tribute to Jason Becker! Jeff shows sooo much respect to him here!
It's worth noting that this has been done in a single take while the record has multiple takes on it.
Which makes this cover even more amazing
It's worth noting that 16-17 year old kid composed this. Mike Varney didn't provide resources to spend lots of time in the studio so Jason was in and out of the studio borrowing a drummer from his other band venture Cacophony. Plus Jason was in high school and recorded it over summer break. Jeff played this song hundreds of times probably before he recorded it. He is a self confessed Becker fan which you can find out from his other videos and a poster above his shoulder in this video.
I think I've seen this a hundred times now.
That was awesome!!! Great tribute to Mr.Becker.
I can tell you love this track. The satisfaction in that last note! wheee..
Incredible guitar player you are, Jeff.
Mabel's Fatal Fable, PLEASE!
+Demmy Gremory +1. Theres only one decent cover and his guitar falls out of tune, its still great though.
+Demmy Gremory +1. Theres only one decent cover and his guitar falls out of tune, its still great though.
Yup .P.S. Really dig the profile pic. Up the irons man !!!!!!
I had it I think starting at 1:02 or 1:20(the heavy classicai) part. If you don't stay on it you lose it,dexterity wise
The picture of Jason Becker on the wall in the background is also extremely appropriate. Lol.
Idk what's more impressive, the fact that Jeff played this even cleaner than Becker does on the actual recording, or the fact that Becker wrote and recorded this when he was like half Jeff's age at the time.
i've met jeff 2 years ago,,and yes he's big fan of jason becker
back in that day,he tried to cover Altitudes but failed and then i found this fantastic cover!
Jeff..you are awesome!
Never watched one video more in my life. Just incredible. Would love to see Jeff do a cover of Altitudes too
how about a Mabel's Fatal Fabel cover by Jeff? that would be swell right!
Larry Lobo Fuck it, the whole Perpetual burn album.
Jeff at the end: "Yep, done here bitches" :)
I bow to you sir
Im a Bluegrass flatpicker, but Becker is someone I admire so much that plays a different style than mine. Hats off to this guy for being able to play this.
Absolutely amazing.
What makes a huge diference between all the guitar stars and Jason is that he played in the highest level a man can play but most important, his composition level, maybe can be compared with the most great musiciens of the history.
Both capacities in one person it is almost impossible to find.
When Loomis gives the horns, he earned it.
HOW.GOOD.MUST.IT.FEEL.TO.BE.ABLE.TO.PLAY.THIS... (Sorry for the exagerated caps, but it's 3:30 am here and I just got home kinda tipsy and decided to go on a Becker admiration trip. Well Loomis' rendition is nothing short of perfect).
Cheers
i just something special when a legend does a guitar cover of another legend
And other legend's poster is hanging on the wall of the covering legend. That's homage.
awsome Jeff, it sound exactly like Jason , execptional in every way. love it
Every one of these videos has people slamming one the the guitar players. Loomis is an insane guitar player, Yngwie is an insane guitar player. Jason Becker is an insane guitar player (who just can't control his body). They are all awesome. I doubt Jeff sits wondering if he would be better then Becker now. I bet he wonders just how awesome it would be to hear Jason play or to jam with him.
I transcribed this using Marty Friedman Type arpeggios with out doing huge stretches .I wish i Filmed it .I still have it all written down .I read the Power Tab ,and used the Exotic Guitar Video by Friedman to figure it out .I was not as livid as the awesome technique displayed here .Especially in the solo section Jeff really kills it .He is an extreme player."Perpetual Burn" Is a modern guitar Caprice as cool as anything Paganini would do .If Paganini had 6 strings he would do this !
That sequence at 2:40 to 3:00. Exquisite frenzy.
many covered this song but none come close to jeff loomis. accuracy is beyond amazing. this is truly a machine level of picking.
Many took 100 videos and 1000 takes you mean , Jeff just did it one take and real time recording
Jeff needs to do more jason covers
respect.. :) this is fantastic... that song would put me in a mental hospital if i tried to learn it... but i wont even try.. your technical skills are so fantastic... haha.. i really enjoy reading some guy comment on this one.. If giving Jeff Loomis advice u better show something ... maybe a current video playing this song :D ..
Every time I want to listen to this song I come here and watch this video.
Thanks for everything you share, love from Chile!
The simplicity of the digitization and the hook of the speed and the technique make of a tremendous and famous guitarist Jeff Loomis hurry up...!!!
Damn... flawless victory !
I guess that's why he's one of the best players in the world!
My respect for Jeff Loomis just went off the chart.
Very note on and great tone and technique. Please do another one of his songs. Thanks for this post.
You probably hit every single note in the song ... great job man !
nice jason becker poster in the background :D
Serieus Frank I got the shirt
Wonderful cover, Jason Becker is a God with the guitar.
Great playing, great memory !!!!
The dynamic and textures(sound) is like the same ! , and the playing is fabulous ! from Jeff ! :D
Sorry but the sound isn't the same at all. It's the active pickups that I blame, not the player.
Sadly, it's not even close, Jason performance was far more twangy and dynamic
This is too metal, no dynamics, no twang, no tone variations with the guitar knobs
Soo uhhhhh... What was that first note??
Maybe Z#
Original first note was E on the 17th on the B pretty sure
E and then what?
@@masterandkerranginparticul4324 Looks like it starts on an A and then goes to E ... and then some other notes as well.
Awesome job spot on Jeff Loomis and thank god for Jason Becker's contribution to music.
I've never thought that someone will be able to make a cover of Perpetual Burn with almost the same accuracy and sound as Jason :O !!! Mind = Blown
Anyone posting negative comments please post your own video showing us how you play it so we can all get a good laugh. This was awesome
Tina S' Altitudes cover has double the views, welcome to CZcams :o
.-.
VirtualLife Yes! Big fan of Gus. He's a very good player, his Lucretia solo cover was what helped me find his channel, watched every video of his since.
+VirtualLife If you want the best cover ever for Altitudes check Arnaldogarcia's cover (Even Becker himself said in the comment that this is the best cover he've seen !) and you'll see that Gus Drax is so far from the original ... ;)
+VirtualLife exactly!!!!
+The Mona Lisa much more of that, sadly
The best cover of this instrumental
Damn Loomis. I’ve never seen anyone play this tune this well except Mr. Becker himself back in the day. Wow! 🔥
Jeff should needs to go to jason becker and play this to him jason smiles i'm sure
I would pay good money for the Altitudes album done exactly this way. Make it happen >_
paul hardman except the album is also called "Perpetual Burn"...but yeah, i know what you mean.
handsomerube Hmmm.. I have no idea why I said that.
+paul hardman I actually would love if they made a 3rd Cacophony album, i mean Jason can't play, but he still writes, Marty is still awesome as fuck, Jeff Loomis can clearly play the shit Jason writes and has written awesome shit himself (also there is the connection with Megadeth and Marty :) , and Paul Gilbert and Ron Jarzombek are buddys with Marty and Jason...
So what the fuck, get all together and write the best fucking shred album ever!
+metalhusky Please. It's "write"... Please.
Dale Sellick Sorry, english is my third language, thanks for the correction.
Jason Becker was such a freaking machine. It's so great to hear people keeping his talent alive. I am actually surprised that the neck didn't catch on fire to be honest. You are an animal dude. Always love listening to you play.
i have seen many one covering this, But i have seen only one creating this, and he is JASON BECKER
Jeff Loomis people, Jeff Loomis.
Hey Jeff, please... Cover Mabel´s Fatal Fable. Please!
Nothing in life ever suprises me anymore,but you constantly amaze me Mr Loomis,legendary pal
Beautiful performance.
Jeff, SO MODEST! Out of frame he collapses to the floor...
holy shit !!!!!! it's the sameeeeeeeeeee
not really the original song is a bit different like the riff of the intro is done on 6 string not 4 but its one of the best cover of this song
it's different timber.. but the sound is that...
the sound is approching but the jason' s guitar is in D#
xavier fernandes loomis plays half step down, which would be E flat, or D#
jason guitar is in D# and loomis guitar is in E so since that start he can't play like jason did
This should have been definitely done, would be void without. Thanks Jeff.
one of my favorite covers of all time.
So I've always wondered whether or not it was really possible for a human to perform this piece... I'm still wondering...
How 74 people disliked this? This is a flawless cover of the most dificult song to play in guitar. i guess is because of the envy lol
yes this is the best thing i have seen in 30 years of playing jeff loomis is a master . i watch alot of keith and jeff and i just keep learning more and more ....ty jeff for your awesome guitar playing..and keith for just being awesome....
The picture of the master in the background left. Loomis is f-ing incredible.
jeff Pisses over malmsteen right here.
NOPE!!!
Håvard Jacobsen Yep! Malmsteen was an innovator, brilliant in the early to mid 1980's, great when he hit the scene but overtaken a long time ago by better players. Jeff Loomis is one of those players.
Gordon Heaney I agree. Loomis execution is fantastic.
lol Jeff is a fantastic player but he isn't better than Malmsteen not even on the same level really although he is way up there. this song is in no way shape or form even near Yngwies more difficult songs.you may like jeffs sound and style more but from a technical standpoint Yngwie is a far better musician. There are very very few people who can play as fast and still be tightly coordinated while still at the same time being clean. there are people like Loomis who can do most everything well then there are people like Rusty Cooley who have the speed of a god but not many have been able to do it all at the same time.
cody rowe nice balanced opinion , I like mamsteen btw. I have huge admiration who flies to japan and plays with an orchestra whil totally jet lagged and is amazing.
02:58 The fretboard must have become very hot! Absolute masterpiece written by a guitar God and played by another one.
...and uploaded by another one!
Good Lord. This always blows me away.
unfortunately we have no video of Jason playing this, but Jeff does an amazing job recreating it. many videos out there of people attempting it, and some are really good, but i think Jeff nailed this thing.
