JEFF LOOMIS - Perpetual Burn (Jason Becker Cover)

[@machupikachu1085]

Jeff Loomis is the reason I started playing bass. :)

Notice the Jason Becker poster over his shoulder. It's like Jason is keeping an eye on Jeff haha.

10 years later and no cover has ever even come close to this one. I was floored when I first saw it

[@rozstrategy.design3961]

PURE FUCKING PERFECTION! Man no one can play Jason Becker better than Jeff. Ive been watching this video for years and still get chills.

[@amateuracoustics]

He wrote this at 17....... 17. (This was my thought through out the entire video).

[@SuperSlawter]

Pedro Pazmiño He actually wrote it at 15 and recorded it at 17. Which just blows me away even more. Jason is amazing

[@jchavez84]

My exact thoughts bro what an amazing artist it’s sad his talent got token away from him

[@psychopompous3207]

I can make this up in my head, or something comparable. My issue is that I am not familiar enough with the neck to translate it...it kinda sucks. I don't really play too much anyways.

[@botondnagy7649]

@@Hellion73 But this is not THE answer to the question the man was asking for... One can see many PROs who will never able to perform this song, although they can do a lot of mind-blowing things... I am simply "haunted" by this song since around 22 years and it will be a dream for another 22 years to be once capable to perform this song. And if I won't manage, it will take another 22 hard and intense years to convince myself to accept that talent is simply a gift that cannot be replaced by any means even by the hardest work or commitment...

[@andrewhockings6867]

I’ve been playing for over 30 years and in my opinion, this is the most impressive Guitar video on KZbin. Jeff Loomis covering a Jason Becker classic. It doesn’t get any better than this. Absolutely amazing.

[@MetalproF1]

Jason Becker is one of the best composers I've ever heard, Perpetual burn is a fucking masterpiece.

[@blazejecar]

Huge respect for this, man. I see so rare people being able to cover jason's songs...the dude was like 19 and he wrote stuff like this, I always cant help but imagine what kind of a guitrist jason would be had he not been struck by als... You did the piece justice, I've practiced it for a long time but could never get to playing it nearly this good

[@Rafael-nn8zu]

Beckers sogs are not impossible though while loomis is going some crazy shit with conquering dystopia imo....

[@sonicymario2010]

[@patrickdezenzio4988]

Uh....they are nearly impossible to watch all the chords. I can't even dream of ever playing this.

[@JoshPillault]

blazejecar Loomis himself said in an interview about this clip that Jason actually composed most of it at the age of 15.

[@BangDoMusic]

I believe that Jeff is the second one after Jason, can play this song perfectly like that. It a shame that this have only less than 200k views \m/

[@Guitarwizardjoinme]

Totally!! WTF? He's amazing!

[@madden7732]

It has over 1 million views on another channel. So the cover itself its quite known haha.

[@MrXatcloud]

I like Loomis cover much more than Beckers

[@Matt_Holcomb]

The reason I love this cover. Is Jeff doesn't try to put his style into it. It's all about how Becker played it and him trying to be as close as he can to it. Thank you Jeff

[@omergolden]

Mozart would have loved to hear this piece.

[@rohanahlawat5809]

This is more of a Beethoven piece influenced by Chopin, Mozart and brahms

[@JanusCCXVIII]

@@rohanahlawat5809 yes, but I do get his point. He's stating of Mozart tis because Jason Becker is the MODERN MOZART..

Jeff Loomis one of the best Guitarists out there! AWESOME how he plays this cover! FANTASTIC!! :)

[@mooncritter721]

Jason Becker is the hardest you will ever try to play. Most won`t even attempt it. Jeff did an amazing job. He nailed it. I have listened to Jason Becker non stop for years. He was the greatest guitar player that ever lived!!!! His illness was so unfair. He did things on guitar that no one, even Jeff has absolutely perfected. No one has come closer than Jeff. As you can see by watching his fingers that Jason Becker was a freak of nature on guitar. To this day, The album PERPETUAL BURN is the most amazing guitar album to date. It will hold that position for centuries. Jeff I say that you got balls for trying that riff. You did an amazing job and are the only person that has ever attempted to play it. You nailed it perfectly!

[@ecouture33]

Only somebody as great as Jeff Loomis could nail this!!
