    Not sure where to start about this one. Blows my mind how Jason Becker wrote this when he was so young. The atonal section... that took a while to learn. With no performance videos to go by, I chose the fingering that seemed most logical to me. There is so much personality shining through in every note - even the ones that are flying by at a million miles an hour. I tried to capture it as much as I could! The arpeggio section is a monster. So fast.
    The Kiesel is an awesome guitar which certainly helped capture the Becker vibe. Check them out at www.KieselGuitars.com

      Could you do "The Ninja" by Cacophony? That is one of my favorite Jason Becker works. Him and Marty Friedman were the ultimate guitar tag team.

      Sweep picking is not that hard once you practice it for a while. Just start slow and focus on being precise and clean instead of speed, speed will come with practice

The plug-ins are available to all my Patreon subscribers so you that if you have Amplitube Max yourself, you can get exactly the same tone as me at home. I also offer screenshots of the virtual amps and pedals so that if you don’t have Amplitube you can attempt to replicate the tone using whatever equipment you have available.
