Anyone seen this?

I'm not a shredder or much of a rocker but this is a heartwarming and inspirational story. That guy was/is good. It's sad that his great love was taken by that disease (Lou Gherig). Here-s a link from IMDB - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2120779/  There are a bunch of players featured in it, including Marty Friedman for Hemi Cuda (or whatever his new screen name is ).

So.....you're telling me that Marty Freeman is an ARFCOMer?.....

And it is a shame about what happened to Jason Becker. Lou Gherig's isn't something I wish on anybody.

No, I just remember Hemi Cuda loving that player so much I figured I'd point it out since he is probably here under another screen name now and should probably check this movie out.

Actually, Hemi Cuda hated Marty Friedman. He was a huge Dave Mustaine fan but never liked Marty.



Anyways, I think he got banned a few years back for suggesting a final solution to the issue of Islam one too many times.

One of the best players to ever live and a truly inspirational guy. With all that has been taken from him he has never given up and continues to be a great composer. There is no telling how great a player he could have become.

Jason Becker was a awesome player. I reserve that for few people. I played professionally for some years, did lots of production for lots of famous people. Never worked with him and I didn't always like the "shred" style, but he had talent.



I had a copy of his audition tape for David Lee Roth and it blew me away, for one because I used to cover DLR songs in several bands I played in. Steve Vai was a later major influence for me and I did get to work with him.




Last I saw, he was still composing music one note at a time with his eye movement on a computer. The brain is still moving at the speed of light.
