    Words cannot describe my feelings about this young man. His ability was above and beyond all in his realm. Had he remained healthy, he would have been without peer. His story makes me realize how blessed I really am, but at the same time how the wrath of fate can be so cruel. We were denied the majic of one of the best ever to pick up the six strings. But his will...his will to continue without self pity. He is a giant among men and a reminder, a reminder to never take anything for granted. Jason Becker the guitar player...I revere. Jason Becker the man....I adore, respect and love.

      Vizron Creative Media Yes but, his ability is still among those in his realm, for sure. He's one of the healthiest people alive with ALS, and one of the longest living, being not only alive, but thriving, almost 30 years after his diagnosis. I don't think Jason needs anyone's pity, but I'm sure he'd love your support. His newest album, Triumphant Hearts, is coming out now, and from the songs I've heard so far, it's incredible. But I'm not surprised. That's Jason Becker; An incredible inspiration of what the human being can achieve when they put their mind and their soul and their focus into something and don't let go no matter what. I'm so glad he's alive and on this earth and I can't wait to get Triumphant Hearts.🌎💛

    Hi Folks. This is Dan, Jason's long-time keyboardist and coproducer/engineer. (2:08). A couple of clarifications: The first song is "Showtime", a DLR song co-written by Jason. The second song at 2:08 is Primal, from Jason's album "Perspective". The crunchy guitar chords there are one of the last things Jason ever played on guitar. Although Steve Perry does appear on the song doing a kind of chant in the middle, the lead vocal is actually Raz Kennedy, though yes he does sound a lot like Steve!

    I just found Jason Becker. And he is an inspiration to me. I am 32, legally blind, have arthritis, as well as bronchiactisis. I have laid concrete, been a landscaper, was a commercial transport mechanic for 10 years, have been a musician for just over 10 years, and am working on my degree in counselling. I plan on starting my own practice, and use music to influence my work. Never give up on a dream, unless you have found a better one to follow!

    To know that you are destined to be huge, are onto something great, admired by thousands of people and incredibly talented.. and to have it all taken away from you, is probably one of the cruelest things I've ever seen. It tore my heart apart when I saw him crying in this video. Knowing you have so much to give, and not being able to give it. Jason, you are and always will be the best.

    In ‘86 I can remember watching Jason and Marty Friedman playing as “Cacophony” at the NAMM Show in Anaheim. Standing 3 feet from Jason in a small room I could see what a massively talented and mind blowing guitarist he was. Looking back I was so fortunate to see him at the beginning of his climb to the top of modern rock guitar. God bless you Jason always.

Then I found out about his illness and I sadly took for granted that he would pass away in a couple of years. I came across this video today and not only he's still alive and kicking, but he's also managed to achieve something even more difficult than succeeding as a guitarist: be a true inspiration to all of us.

    I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet this man. Although he cannot speak, his presence and smile are so communicative. The movie really inspired me to practice the guitar more and just to appreciate the life that I've been given. I hope that someday i can be half as good as he was (is). Thank You Jason. Thank You.

    cant stop crying .. so frickin sad..
    the part where he's looking at his guitar on the wall thinking "I can never play on her again" just makes me burst

    What an inspiration... He's my hero now and whenever I play guitar, I'll do it for him!
