    Default Very inspirational video - Jason Becker

    Jason Becker was an amazing guitarist who's career was suddenly cut short my Lou Gehrig's disease. For those of you who need inspiration, look no further. If this doesn't touch you, nothing will.

    I knew of him back in 1990-1991. I was just get starting to get into the electric guitar when I heard something happened to him. From that point on, I never knew until I stumbled across this link today. Life sure isn't fair. He has more determination than I think I could ever muster in that situation. I've found yet another person to look to when I need some motivation now. He really is amazing.
