For fans of virtuoso rock guitar playing there are few players revered more highly than Jason Becker. From his early days recording solo albums and with Marty Friedman in Cacophony to working with Dave Lee Roth on A Little Ain't Enough and then beyond, Jason Becker displayed a fretboard mastery that has had rock fans' jaws dropping around the world.
