Nice version of Black Star as well!
Btw the only guitarist I have ever heard nail Yngwie's feel on the notes.

Even though it is a throw away version, I think I have listened to enough Malmsteen to tell who can nail the notes/feel, what do you mean...

Re: Jason Becker
You could substitute the word "life" for the word "playing" and this would still be a very accurate statement. Jason Becker is real inspiration for anyone, and unfortunately his playing talent was cut WAY short. Its a shame that we'll have to speculate who and what his playing could have been if not for ALS.yngwie308 wrote:Next time you get discouraged about your playing, check out Jason Becker and his incredible story...

If you are inspired by him, I suggest taking the time to send an email to him. I did, someone there read it to him and I got a reply thanking me, which I did not deserve -- he is a great human being, which is what it's all about.
At it awhile, still learnin'
