You will buy this album not only because it's a double CD album with lots of great guitarist and with incredible songs that any guitar lover will enjoy... You will buy it because when you buy this album you do a donation to world's best guitar player: Jason Becker. That worth the money.

If your a JASON BECKER Fan , or a GUITARIST Yourself, This is a must own Release to have . Great players on this releases include Shredders like PAUL GILBERT -- MARTY FRIEDMAN -- ROB JOHNSON -- JAMES BYRD etc

The artists involved really took time to craft an album that proves without a doubt that Jason Becker is an even better writer/composer than he was a guitarist.

Its a very good double cd packed with music. Jason has inspired countless musicians and its great to see a few great names and some upcoming 'stars' paying tribute here.

Listen to Air on this cd and you'll see how technically advanced Jason was for his age. The guitarist playing this song couldn't keep it as clean or fluid as Jason.

Jason Becker was a guitar prodigy until Lou Gehrig's Disease robbed him of his guitar playing ability. This 31 song collection on a 2 CD set (approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes of music) brings together some of the best artist that could truely do his material justice as well as bring a few origanals to the plate. A few of the artists include: Stormwind, Vinnie Moore, Chris Poland, Jeffe Watsn, Steve Morse, Jeff Scheetz, Jeff Pilson, Marty Friedman, Paul Gilbert, James Byrd, and many many others. All the artist's royalties and Lion Music's label profits from this album are donated to Jason Becker's family. All artists (including the cover design artist) have donated their work and recordings totally for free. This is a fantastic effort to provide help to a guitarist that has influenced so many others through out the world.

This cd rules! All of the tracks have been redone by guitar greats like Neil Zaza and Paul Gilbert. This is definetely a must for all guitar players. The only bad thing is that there isn't enough songs,there should be more, even still it rocks.
