This is my first encounter with this lady. Don't know a single thing about her, but that touch, the timing, the relaxed awesomeness - THIS is what shredding is all about to me. Not mindless, not effortless, but so comfortably executed and TONS of feel. Now please excuse me while I wipe the tears from my eyes.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am delighted that you like my rendition so much!
Yup, wish I could play like her. Only in my dreams
I couldn't have said it better myself
You and Tina s should do some thing
You girls are in credible listen to makes my soul cry tears of joy
When I grow up, I want to be an amazing guitar player just like you. I'm 40. That was incredible, thank you.
I often say "when I grow up, I will/want..." I am not yet 40 but I am very close, sadly... But as long as I am able to play and inspire people, it doesn't matter :)
@@AlexandraZernerRocks you make everyone feel like little kids
@@AlexandraZernerRocks even if you where 50, you're still Young!
❤️
Finally a guitarists hits the Cdm arpeggio sequence correctly 2:11 splitting the arp and sliding into that high Cd, Jason clearly does this but it’s often missed even by good players, nice job
Thank you for appreciating my rendition! I wondered why almost nobody does these arpeggios like that - for me it's audible that there is a slide and changing the positions. Probably most people are blindly following tabs...
Steve Vai wants his hair fan back ;-)
(Outstanding!!!!!)
Thank you very much!!!
Let us honour this performance; the composer and the guy who invented the electric guitar.
The clean part is so emotianal
I am glad that you appreciate it :)
seriously this is the best cover for Altitudes on youtube! its weird to say that the best cover was played by a woman, but damn this woman deserves the title without a doubt !!!!
Thank you so much!!! :)
Nothing to do with it man, but I do get what you're saying
In my opinion women are just given recognition at a lower level so they don't strive to be as good as this
Just my prospective
There's some insane female guitarists obvs!
Shr3ddy J3sse agreed
That sweeping.- wow.
Wow! this is the cleanest and most detailed cover of the Altitudes I've ever seen
Thank you so much!
After 6 years, I watched your video several times again and it sounded even better.Excellent Alexandra🤘🤘🤘🤘🌹🌹🎼🎼🎼
Thanks a lot! I am happy that you like it so much!
I am glad i found this video even after 1 year
I know you recorded this years ago but I keep coming back to it (and now in 2021!) and its still one of the most faithful covers of this amazing song on the musical earth. I love it when musicians get into whatever theyre playing. Such control and respect! Thanks for more years to come lol.
Thank you very much for the high evaluation! I am glad that my rendition pleases you so much on every level :)
Brilliant cover. I watch this a couple of times a month.
Thank you so much, Jeff!
Amazing! She's almost there! Her vibrato and phrasing flow sound very soft and powerful. Sounds like top professional. Maybe best female guitarist's play I ever heard. I'm serious.
Thank you so much!!!
This is the best cover I ever heard of one of the best songs of Becker. You rock!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Regards from Spain.
Thank you so much, José! :)
Wow! Fucking hell! A true guitar master, loved the little parts of your own flavour that you added, this is probably the best version of this on youtube! Amazing!
Thank you so much, Steven!
YES!!! great job!!! Becker is the hardest you`ll ever try to play. IMPRESSED!!!!
Thank you very much!!!
Très bonne reprise de ce magnifique morceau de Jason Becker. ✨🎵🎶
Alexandra vous êtes une grande musicienne! Respect de l'œuvre originale, respect du son.
Grand merci pour avoir rappelé et rafraîchi ce morceau.
....it's something I call perfection, the clarity, that precision, those bends in tune...
Thank you so much!!! :)
This is by far the best cover of altitudes on CZcams.
Thank you!
You should check out the cover by that Spanish guy, Armando something(can't remember the last name)...best cover I've watched. This one is a very good cover too.
This a masterpiece. You made the best cover of Altitudes on CZcams. Congrats!!!!!
Thank you! I am really flattered!
I have listened to altitudes on spotify 1million times and i can barely tell the difference i am a guitarist and 11 years old ive been playing since i was five but altitudes is probably my favorite piece of music in the whole entire world and i think jason becker would be proud of that cover
I totally agree. Best Altitudes cover on YT. Great vibrato as well, and all the whammy bar work is on point. Excellent ear and replication of what was played!!!
Awesome!!!
Best cover version of "Altitudes" from youtube!
Technique, bends, tone and vibratos perfect!
Brilliant production!
Great job!!!
Thank you so much, Armando! I am glad that you appreciate all the details :)
those bass in the eighth string also
i agree
This piece used to be not playable anyone but Jason himself only a few years ago wasn't it ???? All of sudden many YT musicians are doing it and many are extremely good. This one is also shockingly good.
Thank you! I believe that CZcams gave popularity to many people who were able to play it and this is what caused the wave - one player is inspiring the others and so forth.
I am thrilled to see so many people discover Cacophony/Friedman/Becker! I was 14 years old when i first heard them waaay back in 1987. At the time Yngwie was pretty much still king of the road( i thought so anyways)..until the day I heard that first Cacophony album. I remember seeing those little shrapnel advertisements in my guitar magazines...couldn't resist. The advertisement for that record did not lie, it said it left listeners looking at their speakers in disbelief. That was no hype! This was something I had not expected, something so new, and so perplexing. For years people would look at me sideways when they asked who my favorite guitarist was and I'd tell them Jason Becker and Marty Friedman. WHOO??!!! lol I literally haven't been the same since then. An older guitar buddy of mine saw them play in a shitty bar in saint louis in 1988 to a crowd of about 30 people. He told me about them later how awesome his band was that he had saw....he didn't know how to say it and goes yeah Kaka pony or some shit..lol. Said they were cocky & after the first band one of 'em goes. You haven't heard anything yet. hehe he said they were awesome. I ran out to my brother's car and grabbed that tape and go you mean THESE GUYS??!!I was shocked. lucky f'r!(i was too young for bars) They opened up my eyes to what is possible on the guitar! Such ferocious new ideas, those weird harmonies...how in the world did they think of that stuff?! Back then trying to figure this stuff out was dam near impossible. And getting anything near their album studio sound was downright impossible. I'd listen to these shitty cassette tapes at full speed, rewind and listen again times 1000 and plink around on my shitty gorilla practice amp and just wonder how in the hell??!!. I wore out at least 4 tape decks due to Cacophony alone. Never thought I'd see such a close cover of this stuff and with such a close tone to boot! just awesome! Gotta love the technology too. great sounding gear like in this video and talented people that have harnessed the power of being able to figure this complex stuff out tone and all... Bravo Alexandra!
Best cover ever! ❤️
Thank you!!!
this is one of the best covers
Thank you!!!
this is the best cover ever..
Thank you!
No. There is Tina S who killed the game.
@Agellid Agellid The best one in techniche is this one, the best sounding is gus drax, but i prefer this one a million times
@@enzoconstantinoromo364 czcams.com/video/tRK6NxgPlfo/video.html This is still the best cover.
Gus drax and Tina s versions are way better than this .
Easily one of the best covers I’ve seen so far
Thank you!
You are absolutely incredible!! You nailed every single lick in this masterpiece and your tone is NEXT LEVEL!
Im blown away !! 😵💫😵💘
Thanks a lot! I am glad that you like it so much :)
The best cover version of this classic on CZcams🤘🤘 yeah ❤️❤️
Your left hand fluency is insane, super relaxed, no pressure and it really shows through in your playing. You've obviously put in your 10k hours, kudos.
Thank you! I am left-handed so it helps ;)
@@AlexandraZernerRocks me too and I play right handed as well! I always felt it was more natural to fret with my dominant hand.
This i s by far the best cover-version of Altitudes ever - and Jason loves it too - Alexandra you are incredible
Thank you so much!
omg best version yet!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!
by far the best cover on youtube.
I am flattered!
How can you dislike this piece of art? This is pure awesomeness.
Thank you! There will always be dislikes - we can't please everyone, you know :)
fantastic performance! the best cover so far!!!!! love it! congratulations! greetings from Sydney!
Thank you very much!!!
damn, I almost cried
So I did a good job then. Thank you!
THE BEST COVER, NICE TECHNIQUE.
Thank you!
You....are.....fucking amazing! How have I never come across your videos??? You & Jeff Loomis are the best Jason Becker covers I've heard. ....and I've heard A LOT. Subbed👍👏
Thank you so much for the kind words and for the subscription! :)
Agreed. This version of Altitudes and Loomis’ version of Perpetual Burn. Best ones so far
This is the razor blade, the cutting edge between sound and emotion. Beautiful!
Thank you so much!!!
It's amazing to see a woman play the guitar so perfect. Congratulations
The closest to Jason's phrasing of any cover of this I've heard. A joy to listen to.
I am flattered!!! Thank you!
Best thing I have seen online in 2020. Subscribing and looking forward to seeing more of what you have.
Thank you so much!!! I hope you'll like my own works too :)
@@AlexandraZernerRocks I do! #youtubehero
One word: genius!
I am flattered!!!
Your emotional timbre and powerful tone are second to none, the subtle vibrato in the clean section - goosebumps, absolute perfect rendition from someone truly professional- WOW
Thank you so much, Mike! I am glad that you appreciate the details of my work! :)
That... that was pretty FUCKING GOOD.
Hello, Alexandra. Excellent multi-way arrangement, distinctive performing. As for me this is no longer just a cover, but a variation on the theme. Greater art. Altitudes are conquered. Thank You.
Thank you very much!!! I am happy to know that you paid attention to all the details in this rendition and you like my work :)
I come here to watch this every now and then... and I get surprised every single time... you´re amazing. It is hard to believe that Jason Becker created such a masterpiece. But also incredible the way you nail it. Keep it up.
Thank you very much!!!
+Alexandra Zerner muy buena felicidades puedes tocar con cualquier banda famosa eres muy buena guitarrita
+Alexandra Zerner sigue adelante ojalá puedas a llegar a ser reconocida internacionalmente no te detengan impresionantes
+Alexandra Zerner puedes crear tus propias piezas instrumentales tienes un talento extraordinario sigue adelante saludos
@@marioborras9439 Tiene muchas piezas compuestas por ella misma. Incluso un álbum doble todo propio. Alexandra es increíble.
Alexandra you are amazing! Incredible cover! Jason be Proud! Greetings from Argentina!❤
Bravo! Each single note is on time. This song is one of the most fascinant songs I ever heard. Thanks for keeping Jason's music alive! ❤️
Thank you! I am glad that you appreciate my rendition! It's astonishing piece indeed!
Wow....I am speechless...
Thank you!
QUEEN
Top! Why would someone dislike this cover? It is perfect.
Thank you!!! There are far too many reasons one could dislike a certain video and I prefer not to overanalyse but just move on :)
@@AlexandraZernerRocks no need to analyze :) it is just a jealousy... but still... don't understand. Thanks for reply!
Just envy
Best Altitudes cover on CZcams. (BTW, I love that 8-string guitar.)
Thank you very much!!!
I just witness something out of this world!!!
Who are you???
No one plays this like Jason does...no one!
But you are so close to those emotions that is scarry wonderful.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for such an accurate interpretation of one of the greatest composition for guitar of all times...
FOREVER JASON BECKER.
Thank you so much for your wonderful words! I am glad that you appreciate the emotional side of my rendition - it's too important part to be neglected.
A lot a players know how to be technical and fast, but the secret lies in be technical and fast while giving emotions and feelings...
And this is what sets Jason apart from the rest, he was fast as the Devil, technical as Paganini, and emotional as God...
Thank you Alexandra, you are astonishing (Dream Theater reference)
You are AMAZING!!
Wow! Another amazing cover! The harmonies at 3:13; one with tapping, one without, sounded perfect, amazing that you figured that out. Great vibrato and all the expression too. You could tour with Marty.
I am really flattered!!! :)
i cried to this song, you 're awesome
Thank you! I am flattered!!!
Woman, u re amazing! Stole my ears! Huehuehuehue (im from Brazil!)
Haha :D Thank you!!! Here are your ears back: 👂👂
My God! I'm speechless for your version of this classic. Very good indeed. You were splendid. Congratulations!
Thank you very much! I am happy that you like my rendition that much :)
Wow..I remember few years ago you said you would cover this song...finally...and damn it's perfect! Great dedication! Solid rendition!
I am glad that you remember that statement :) Exactly the dedication is how I ended up here :)
This is the best cover of this song.
Thank you! I am flattered!
4:07 this sound is unbelievable
Thank you!
That was amazing, a very technical song to play and you nailed it but more than that the feel and emotion you put into each note really made your version stand out well above any others. Jason would be very very impressed with this.
Thank you so much, Mark! I believe that pure technique without emotion means nothing so I always paid a lot of attention to this aspect :)
Alexandra Zurner blows me away. It was quite an experience hearing her for the first time.
By-I have to watch her again.
And Again. Gasp
Your technique is so powerful and clean! You are an amazing guitar player
Thank you!!!
This work puts YT guitar covers in some high new level, very hard to beat. Awesome job. Congrats.
Thank you! I am flattered!
Alexandra Zerner You're welcome! Automatically suscribed! :)
Wow, so beautiful. The tone! Perfect. My respect, Alexandra!
Thank you so much, Adrian!!! I am flattered!
Wow....one of the best covers ive ever seen.
Thank you! I am flattered!
Fukn epic! I can’t believe the depth of talent in this world. Thank gawd for CZcams. Alexandra, I’m subscribing to your channel. I don’t care what you’re selling, I’m buying ✊🙏👍🏼👌👋
Thank you so much, Mark!!! I hope you'll like my own music just as much :)
whoa
Thanks!
Awesome job! Jason would be proud.
Thank you!!!
This is unquestionably the best cover of this. Very nicely done!
Thank you very much!
Watch the cover by Gus Drax. Much more accurate.
So beautiful... You made my day...
I am happy to know that :)
I love this album so much. The song brought tears to my eyes it was so beautiful when I heard this album. You have recreated those feelings Within Me. I have tears in my eyes and I've watched this several times. Please do not listen to the squawkings of inferior Minds. You kept the essence of the song intact while making it your own. That is true artistry! Magnifique' maestro!
This comment is one of the best ones I've ever read about my cover works! I can only be happy that my efforts to re-create the vibe of the song are successful and you appreciate that so high :)
Never saw anybody play the guitar this smooth. You're phenomenal. Much respect to you for amazing covers.🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much!!! I am really flattered! :)
Jason would be very proud xx amazing technique and feel xx 🤘🏼
Thank you!!!
Amazing just amazing everything from your use of the wammy bar to the tapping was beautiful. I expecially loved your rendition of the sweep picking good job 😊
Thank you so much!
Very well done. Greetings from Finland
Thank you very much! :)
I can listen it over and over again... and every time I find something new I adore in Your play. Hope You don' t mind I will listen it few hundred times in 2023. Happy New Year!!!
I am glad that you like my rendition so much! And by all means - listen it as much as you like and you can put some of my pieces in between, just to take a break :)
Even makes a Gio shred!!!! You have some of the tightest covers anywhere Alexandra!
Thank you very much! That GIO is not a bad guitar at all, actually - good setup and good pickups can make it pretty nice :)
Wow! You're my first favorite female guitarist Alex, never see female guitarist like you, technics 100, music 100, soul 100. Cheers from Indonesia...
Thanj you very much! I am really flattered!
If you are at all interested in listening to a great female guitarist. Listen to Tina S.
I hope you give her a listen, it's well worth it.
Wow, what a display of exceptional musicianship. I love your harmonies, very well done indeed! Also how thoughtful of you to actually include ways fans can support Jason as a reminder at the end - everyone should try and do their part no matter how small (heck most waste a lot on bad habits and latte, try giving up bad habits and give even half the savings to Jason's fund). This is a true tribute right here. I also checked your own musical work and your blog about it (I admit not all of it yet though). I will be definitely ordering your music shortly. Thank you for doing what you are doing Alexandra!
Thank you very much! Yes, Jason needs every small bit of help we can offer so I do my best :)
Alexandra I ordered your albums from Amazon as digital download since your stuff was there. If you don't mind sharing to put things into perspective, how much revenue does Amazon share with you from each $0.99 song?
As far as I know, these retailers give $0.63 per song to the artists and it's pretty much standard fee.
Super talented young lady!
Thank you!
This is by far the best cover of this incredible song that I've ever seen.
Thank you so much!
I hope Jason sees this some day, it's the best cover of one of his songs I've ever seen.
Thank you very much! Jason loved it! :)
That's awesome!
Only one word : Splendid ! You have a new fan !
Thank you for your support!!! :)
Amazing technique and cover!
Thank you!
This is by far the best cover of this song, I love Tina's and Gus covers, but this one is so accurate!
Thank you very much! I am flattered :)
@@AlexandraZernerRocks Gino's right. The accuracy of this one to the original is what puts this cover over the top. I'll take cue's from this video when I do my own cover ;)
Fantastic Alexandra! Probably the BEST cover of Altitudes on You Tube! You are rare in the world!
Thank you so much, Chuck! :)
Such a masterpiece... such an amazing performance. LOVE IT!!
Thank you so much! It's indeed a masterpiece!
Fucking beautifully done
Thanks!
Absolutely fantastic! I have watched this video many times and it gets better each and every time.
Glad you enjoyed it so much!
Jason Becker would be jealous with this...😊
Salute to you every inch is tone perfect. Cant tell the difference ..
Thank you so much! I am flattered :)
i've only just seen this! incredible. Nobody can play this song without suffering some kind of pain.
Thank you very much!
Great, I love this song!!!
I Saw this everyday, i love you cover!
Perfect as always! Beautiful tone and beautiful you! :)
Thank you so much, Lens! I am flattered! :)
I hadn't heard that song in SO LONG and it was great to hear you do it and to do it so well. Brings back good memories.
Just wow. Absolutely incredible.
Thank you! :)
HEY JASON!!!!! give this girl some props! She slayed it. Probably the cleanest on youtube. A matter of fact, it is! I've seen them all.
That's really flattering!!! Fortunately, Jason saw it when I made it and he posted it a couple of times on his FB page :)
Really loved the attention at the little details at the beginning that most people have ignored. Amazing performance overall and keep on the good work!
Thank you so much! I am happy that you appreciate the work on the details :)
