Jason Becker - End of the Beginning (official video) feat. Michael Lee Firkins

[@hmachhuana675]

I wished the world invent treatment for ALS, and Jason will rise again...

[@jdefabs2112]

Onions onions!!😢

[@catcancrunch7260]

Yes so do I...

[@joelstolk4190]

He rose and cant stop rising

[@luisfernandolealhernandez7127]

He is still rising, just in different ways that we do not understand

[@johngtr3577]

There IS treatment,reason why Jason is still alive. Cure is about to rise,thats the point.

[@clevebrowning1]

That solo is still probably amongst the best ever composed

[@ecouture33]

I completely agree!!

[@teteuzao490]

this is a masterpiece by Jason Becker, The God of Guitar

[@einarabelc5]

Stop using God name in vain, it's blasphemy that brings destruction from God. Jason is sick, and mortal and human and that's a good thing. You know what gods are in the Bible? Elohim, that is angels and demons. Stop worshiping the creation and look upon the God that made Jason. As for suffering, He sure let us know it's not because He's far and out of Love. Because Jesus died a physical death and was crushed by the Father on that cross for your and me. All for you to insult Him by calling this simple mortal creature a god. You don't even reflect on what you're talking about.

[@goldenfingerz6151]

He's the "beethoven" of 20th Century 👍

[@williamyanosko4010]

After reading the history of this man and seeing some video of his performing days, I never take for granted my musical ability, my equipment, or my practice time...it really is a privilege to be able to play an instrument...of all people to be afflicted with this at such a young age....for me being able to play my guitar is equivalent to Christmas morning as an 8 year old...it never gets old or tiresome,and when the burst of inspiration and creativity comes along it's an almost out of body journey....Jason had it all as a guitar player and fortunately for him he found his talent at a young age and took it to the limit...it would have been tragic for him to have not discovered or developed it....he got everything out of music that he could hope for

[@michaelbismarckii9139]

Currently going through arthritis degradation and I sure wish I'd put more to tape

[@Nickshreds890]

As you can hear he writes truly remarkable and some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard. This piece of music is like the guitar is crying and singing a melody of optimism and hope and encouraging fellow humans to never stop loving music . But also to always be good and kind too

[@evrenvarol4771]

Thanks Jason Becker, thanks Michael Lee Firkins, this is a greatest art work ever... 🌿🕺💃

[@steevevatzguitartraining4185]

Jasons music, Michael Lee firkins interpretation and performance... Emotional heights ... What a tune... What a touch! Simply speechless...my standing applause to Everyone involved in this production...

[@nurzenhimawan3272]

Solo gitar terbaik yang pernah saya dengar 👍👍👍

[@jye_24]

Happy Birthday Jason Thankyou for Forever Inspiring Me! As a 21 Year Old you Give me True Hope in Life. I Hope you Release some Music Soon

[@Iheartdgd]

You are a huge inspirational to us all Jason..my step father lost his battle with ALS and you are helping me keep him alive, he was also a great fan of yours in the 80s and 90s. Much love, I wish you comfort and nothing but the best.

[@kevinmckenna5272]

I've met a lot of rock stars. But Jason out shines them all.

[@roloarduz6014]

Happy birthday and, God bless you Jason.. Jesús Love's You

[@aman-mn5kc]

Wait a minute, i had to run this twice, there are som many genious passages.

[@RobertWeingher]

Jason Becker was a great guitar player and a great composer, because of his illness he can't play anymore but he can still write and compose music which other guitar players plays the guitar parts, in this track we can hear and see the talents of Michael Lee Firkins, i rest my case, thanks!

[@ezkatol]

I love this song and this album, and just learned that Michael lee firkins was the performer of this song... what an amazing guitar player...

[@thekidfromanotherplanet]

2:55 most beautiful solo ever

[@NeazAhmed]

Michael accurately bring the emotion of Jason, what a perfect choice by the maestro !

[@georgoroth]

That intro with delay... the bass pedal part and then the main riff... 1984... extremely young. That's exactly why he is the giant he is, watching that for the first time in that year must had been almost like a religious experience

[@saintmichaelsingh]

I cried tears of joy still reading Jason Becker is alive right now. I am 31, I was heavily influenced in guitar by Jason Becker in high school. Recapturing some old memories.

[@justsomeguy727]

You should check out Marty Friedman's music video for a song called Makenaide. Keep pushing on your musical journey if you're still on it ❤

[@jye_24]

This Brought Tears to My Eyes as Usual

[@danidelgado3015]

What a MASTERPIECE… 🤦🏻‍♂️🙌🏻

[@zenn3339]

I saw a cacophony in a little bar in St Paul Minnesota many years ago.

[@navidnawaz7713]

Love you Becker. What a composition man! Travelling over melody. The crying guitar!🤘

[@quanah]

Man, that's awesome. Beautiful composition

[@rominaramirez6818]

La historia de Jason es increíble su gran fuerza por salir adelante me impresiona el jamás tomó el camino fácil de rendirse y suicidarse. Optó por vivir y hacer música de todas maneras Es un hombre increíble con un don que muchos no lo tienen .....larga vida a Jason Becker !!!!!!!

[@sebastiantorres8167]

This song is a masterpiece

[@bm8584]

Una verdadera obra maestra de Jason Becker. Igual que todo lo que ha compuesto. Y la interpretación de Michael Lee Firkins es genial. 10/10

[@guillermojperea6355]

La interpretación de MLF... Subliiime!!!

[@RevellionzZ]

Yamaha Pacifica such harmonic guitar. No words! Masterpeace

[@jfo3000]

With the wah pedal and especially Firkins' attack. This is performed by a master, make no mistake.

[@VdVendetta22]

21 dislikes😲 Jason Becker 👏👏👏👏👏👏 MAESTROOOO!!!! Michael Lee Firkins 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@pekavanchhawng1744]

This is underrated , this solo is very authentic . One of the best guitar solo if not the best .. The emotion it gives is timeless.

[@Priyadarshan_Nag]

This song will always be my favourite of your compositions Jason. I was in tears when I heard this song for the first time...You are greatest!

[@bradleyblunt7088]

Holy shit! How am I just now finding out about this person?

[@gustavosantiagomorinigo]

Love Forever this song. Love forever to Jason❤❤❤❤

[@wouterseynaeve3816]

you are a genius. Thank you for your beautiful music :)

[@bantegite8875]

Jason Becker Forever ✌️🎸✌️

[@markrobinson1135]

Then God made musicians like Jason Becker, a once in a lifetime. Thank you Lord

[@kps2642]

i want to study the techniques the guy who disliked this video.

[@MarcosAlves-Guitar]

He must be frustrated cause a paralyzed (unfortunately!) genius did composed a song billions of times superior to anything he can create!

[@MrBTBusch]

Lmao, it was probably Yngwie, if you think outside, and use your guitar melody with many vocal inflections, and accentuations (E.g. ▪ J.Becker, S.Vai, P.Gilbert, R.Kotzen... etc.) then he (He really did say this in the past.) has been known to critisize the music as being 'Out of Tune!' Instead of continuing to grow & learn. He has been known to be... 'A Drama Diva!' Lmao... I guess 'J.S Bach' is as far as ANYONE needs to advance... ...smh, fuckN Malnsteen.

[@pzdipuing]

hahahahahahahahahaha dude best comment of the year should be given to urs

[@zachsprague14]

Right

[@TheKopet89]

They must be beyond God.....

[@tibord72]

MLF did a amazing interpretation of Jason's master piece I really like this and full of emotion but obviously two people either they joking or deaf how can you not like this. Keep up Jason and create more music for the fan. Bless !!!!!

[@welderguitars3924]

Your still one of the greatest guitarists ever. God bless Thanks for all the wonderful music you’ve created

[@guacanememoya2045]

This masterpiece is a total spiritual cleansing to me. Thank you so much Jason! ❤

[@akidk1499]

MLF kept it close to Jason's playing and rendered an immaculate version here. Wished we could have a recording of the version where Marty Friedman played it live with an orchestra in 2003. Both Jason and Marty are best that we can reach as a guitarist and musician

[@donnacurran3388]

Jason, we love you and pray for you for angelic assistance and help for every day of your life on this earth,,,Donna

[@billlandon2160]

For the LOVE of GOD please upload again with good audio

[@elitejams]

[@dimi3po]

Long live Jason, Visionary Master mind

[@misaurigt7242]

[@chefstar72]

Jason puts his signature on this even without playing. You can actually hear Jason playing instead of Michael.

¡Oh, Dios! ¡Casi lloro! ¡Esto es lo más conmovedor e inspirador que haya conocido yo en la vida! :'( La vida y obra de Jason Becker, y esta composición... ¡Guau! Solamente, te puedo desear, de todo corazón, que puedas ser feliz por siempre. Muchas gracias por existir. Eres un ejemplo para mí. Una motivación más para que yo siga luchando y no desfallecer hasta hacer mis sueños realidad, y alcanzar mi máximo nivel en la música, y en mi evolución y realización personal integral. Me inspiras a seguir trabajando con pasión, sin excusas, y hasta que la vida y Dios nos lo permitan. ¡Te deseo lo mejor! ¡Que se cumplan tus sueños y los deseos de tu corazón! (Y) ¡Que Dios te bendiga mucho! ¡Mil gracias, Jason! (Y)

Ele adoeceu antes de escrever qualquer coisa do tipo.

[@muchamadsarbiniwahidheryan4433]

Its just a beginning...for the endless human being

[@ecouture33]

If they find a cure for ALS I would to see Jason step onto a stage at 2:55 and play that solo.😢

[@maxreyesofficial]

genio , saludos desde chile

[@housethegrate6093]

I saw the live performance where Marty Friedman played this with an orchestra in San Francisco, back in maybe 2002. I know there's a video of it out there somewhere because two guys in the audience were taping. They were students at GIT and I'd met them a year prior at the Cacophony reunion/Q&A at the El Cerrito Guitar Center. Always wished I kept in touch with those guys. Happy new year, Jason and family.

[@akidk1499]

How was Marty Friedman's Version. in live

[@housethegrate6093]

It was cool. Obviously different feel from the Firkins version. I was able to get a picture with Jason and Marty. So awesome to meet my heroes as a teenager.

[@Ironyngwie]

Jason ,i waiting for the next creation of you ,greetings my dear teacher, i from Lima Perú 🇵🇪 bye.

[@Carlos-oj6qo]

Si supiera el día de mi muerte escucharía está composición maravillosa que enciende muchas sensaciones y pensamientos ♥️
