    I tried to tell you that I thought it was good guitarwork, but annoying to ME. Don't you listen?

    First off, I made no mention of Hendrix in my post, just because my screenname is about him doesn't mean I think that he's the ultimate guitarist to whom everyone should be compared to.

    Secondly, no, it's not that impressive to me, and just because I can't play something doesn't mean that it is automatically the greatest thing in the world. If I wanted to hear a bunch of repeated septatonic and heptatonic scales in my solos I'd go listen to Van Halen or some other shitty 80s band.

    Third, since you did decide to bring up Hendrix, I'll just go ahead and say that Becker can't hold a fucking candle to Hendrix in any aspect of guitar playing.

    Wow, thank you, I really needed a good laugh today. Seriously, did you watch the same video I did?

    OK OK, I getcha. ;)


    As far as I know, yes, I think I watched the same video you did. Either way, you're welcome. :rolleyes:


    Now, that comment was quite uncalled for. Jason Becker is no longer able to play because of an illness(Lou Gehrig's Disease - aka: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). To make a comment as though to celebrate such a tragic event is highly inappropriate.

    Say for one minute that you are a very talented guitar player. You then get ALS and are no longer able to so much as move your body, much less play the guitar. Now, imagine I come up to you and tell you I'm glad you can't play anymore. How the hell would you feel??

    Really, what's wrong with you?? *shocked*

    First off, this guy is insane. I also find the music extremely boring.

    Second, how inept can somebody be to compare hendrix to this guy, they're years apart. Find someone who was playing in 1967 who could do what hendrix was doing. I'm not aware of anyone but I don't know everything, so maybe somebody can introduce me to a guitarist from the era who was better than hendrix.

    Dude you're a tool. We understand how much control he has over his guitar, but where is the musicality? I have a lot of control over my penis. Wow, look how much everybody cares. Look how ground-breaking me playing with my penis is.
