He shows himself getting into the chair at the beginning to suggest he wasn't simply rolling the film forever until he got a perfect take. That's boss level stuff.
Hands down, the most accurate cover of this song I've heard. How you memorized it and did it in one take , I'll never know! A great tribute to the master of modern guitar playing! Just awesome!
@@Hellion73 But this is not THE answer to the question the man was asking for... One can see many PROs who will never able to perform this song, although they can do a lot of mind-blowing things... I am simply "haunted" by this song since around 22 years and it will be a dream for another 22 years to be once capable to perform this song. And if I won't manage, it will take another 22 hard and intense years to convince myself to accept that talent is simply a gift that cannot be replaced by any means even by the hardest work or commitment...
I’ve been playing for over 30 years and in my opinion, this is the most impressive Guitar video on TH-cam. Jeff Loomis covering a Jason Becker classic. It doesn’t get any better than this. Absolutely amazing.
I can make this up in my head, or something comparable. My issue is that I am not familiar enough with the neck to translate it...it kinda sucks. I don't really play too much anyways.
Huge respect for this, man. I see so rare people being able to cover jason's songs...the dude was like 19 and he wrote stuff like this, I always cant help but imagine what kind of a guitrist jason would be had he not been struck by als... You did the piece justice, I've practiced it for a long time but could never get to playing it nearly this good
The reason I love this cover. Is Jeff doesn't try to put his style into it. It's all about how Becker played it and him trying to be as close as he can to it. Thank you Jeff
Jason Becker is the hardest you will ever try to play. Most won`t even attempt it. Jeff did an amazing job. He nailed it. I have listened to Jason Becker non stop for years. He was the greatest guitar player that ever lived!!!! His illness was so unfair. He did things on guitar that no one, even Jeff has absolutely perfected. No one has come closer than Jeff. As you can see by watching his fingers that Jason Becker was a freak of nature on guitar. To this day, The album PERPETUAL BURN is the most amazing guitar album to date. It will hold that position for centuries. Jeff I say that you got balls for trying that riff. You did an amazing job and are the only person that has ever attempted to play it. You nailed it perfectly!
Jeff is a BEAST. Sanctuary still is one of my favorite bands, and this level of playing is PHENOMENAL. Doesn't quite have Jason's "feel," but not many people do. Spot-on cover by a brilliant professional musician.
Now imagine the guy that came up with this masterpiece. Its one thing to repeat greatness. Creating greatness from ground zero is truly something else.
@@alexpapadopoulosl3042 Seriously. Imagine a *17* year old coming up with this? Fittingly, original creator's photo is right above Jeff's shoulder in this video.
One of the most awesome guitar songs of all time. Jason Becker is a genius, and Jeff Loomis nailed it. Huge respect. I am really itching to attempt this as well. Such a kick-ass tune, that makes the guitar sound into the vastness of the universe in the most glorious fashion. I pray Jason Becker will be healed again one day...hopefully soon.
I won the Guinness World Record for largest explosion in my pants, after I watched this video. JTFC Jeff Loomis I think is one of the few guitarists who can seriously sweep in their sleep.
Never heard a better cover then this !!! Love the tone of Jeff’s guitar won’t be long till I get my hands on his signature guitar. Get his guitar and put up his poster so he can watch me cover his songs and make a terrible mess of it lol !!!
Great tribute to a legend. Jeff is amazing, creating riffs and shredding, one of the greatest guitar players in "modern" metal, Nevermore is one of my favorite bands
This is my favourite video on TH-cam. I've watched it more than 20 times, and I keep coming back to it. Thanks Jeff, thanks Jason. Unfortunately I still can't get past playing the intro correctly, so I think I will die not being able to play this :-(
I'm not even sure if Jason Becker himself could play it this clean at his peak performance, huge respect for both Jason Becker and Jeff Loomis, you two are absolute aliens
The best cover of Perpetual Burn in my opinion. Thanks Jeff for uploading it. BTW, could you upload more? Thanks Jason for writing so many masterpieces and inspire us all.
Jeff Loomis, absolutely the best I've ever seen. Chris Broderick amazing as well. Nailing Perpetual Burn is like learning Paganinis caprices. Jason Becker, God bless you man, only a genius could write this
Jeff Loomis is the reason I started playing bass. :)
That's funny
Fuk, Lol I hear ya.
😂😅i love you
Lol😊
I usually hate full shred But I LOVE Jason
Notice the Jason Becker poster over his shoulder. It's like Jason is keeping an eye on Jeff haha.
that is hilarious my friend!
Ha ha ha, didn´t noticed that before you wrote it :D
And note: a finger was wagged not a once
Amazing job!! Unbelievably great!!!Thanks for keeping the genius Jason Becker’s music alive.
10 years later and no cover has ever even come close to this one. I was floored when I first saw it
PURE FUCKING PERFECTION! Man no one can play Jason Becker better than Jeff. Ive been watching this video for years and still get chills.
He shows himself getting into the chair at the beginning to suggest he wasn't simply rolling the film forever until he got a perfect take. That's boss level stuff.
He was though. It's mimed. 3:14
Perpetual Burn is the "Far Beyond the Sun" of Jason Becker. A masterpiece.
The Perpetual Burn album smokes anything by any guitarist ever.
I like that...well put !
@@skundini4999 listen to Al DiMeola. :)
@@jasonwilliams7454 lol
Naaaa malmsteen ni se acerca a esto....becker es único
Perpetual Burn is a sacred record to me.
All hails Sir Loomis for playing so perfectly this masterpiece. 🤘
Perpetual Burn is probobly the feeling you get in your forearms when you play this.
I feel my forearms...
Well said
hahaha
I think I developed Carpal tunnel
could not have said it any better myself

I have the record when this came out. I spent probably 40 hours trying to learn this song. I had to write it out on tab slowly!!
Well Jeff loomis is one of the best guitar players alive
@@bradlocken2621 in terms of virtuosity, arguably he is THE best

Jason picture in the back. Jason Becker, one of the bests composer of all time..
+VICTOR FERREIRA Yeah, but he's no Lil Wayne...
Hahaha. Good joke. kkkk
He wrote this at 17....... 17. (This was my thought through out the entire video).
Pedro Pazmiño He actually wrote it at 15 and recorded it at 17. Which just blows me away even more. Jason is amazing
My exact thoughts bro what an amazing artist it’s sad his talent got token away from him
I can make this up in my head, or something comparable. My issue is that I am not familiar enough with the neck to translate it...it kinda sucks. I don't really play too much anyways.
@@psychopompous3207 bruh.
@@psychopompous3207 ‘’I can play it in my head, but not really because i can’t actually play’’

Beckers sogs are not impossible though while loomis is going some crazy shit with conquering dystopia imo....
+Rafael Tsahouridis well they're not impossible to play that's true, but aren't easy neither :')
sonicymario2010 well yeah
Uh....they are nearly impossible to watch all the chords. I can't even dream of ever playing this.
blazejecar Loomis himself said in an interview about this clip that Jason actually composed most of it at the age of 15.
The reason I love this cover. Is Jeff doesn't try to put his style into it. It's all about how Becker played it and him trying to be as close as he can to it. Thank you Jeff
The best version!!!!! Great Jeff! BECKER is GOD!
Great but not the best . The best is this th-cam.com/video/9RNhio8XUfc/w-d-xo.html
Watched this about 50 times now. Absolutely incredible.

This is the nicest Jason Becker I've ever seen.
What a wonderfull message of hope in these dark days.
I believe that Jeff is the second one after Jason, can play this song perfectly like that. It a shame that this have only less than 200k views \m/
Totally!! WTF? He's amazing!
It has over 1 million views on another channel. So the cover itself its quite known haha.
I like Loomis cover much more than Beckers

Jeff Loomis one of the best Guitarists out there! AWESOME how he plays this cover! FANTASTIC!! :)
The best Version ever!! Jeff Loomis is goooooddddddd
Jeff Loomis is currently my favorite guitar player, been listening to his "Zero Order Phase" album on repeat, shit rocks!
Only somebody as great as Jeff Loomis could nail this!!
I never seen better played cover to Jason Becker! Great playing Jeff!
Thank you Jason for inspiring Jeff Loomis and so many wonderful guitarists!
Goddamn man. He has to be one of the best metal guitarists ever..

Such a pleasure to listen to this again, played by Jeff this time.
No one can even closer than this version,, you r the man,,
Holy crap. This guy is even better than i expected. Nailing such a masterpiece is outstanding
Incredible. Wow. Amazing cover. Jason Backer must be proud of you brother. :)! Keep the good work.
Mozart would have loved to hear this piece.
This is more of a Beethoven piece influenced by Chopin, Mozart and brahms
@@rohanahlawat5809 yes, but I do get his point. He's stating of Mozart tis because Jason Becker is the MODERN MOZART..
I would say more like Paganini
wow non stop soloing amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Jeff Loomis ... you KICK ASS !!!!!!!!!
And Jason Becker, you're a LEGEND for composing such mind-blasting songs
Very well done Jeff. Very well done.
guitar & hair & atmosphere all are perfect for the music. 21 centuries metal classic masterpiece.
Jeff is a true legend. Nothing but love for him.
So effing awesome
Awesome tribute to a master from a master....Jeff Loomis will always be the riff master to me

Well done! Hell it's 2022 and that piece is still a tall order to fill. Jason always brought out ALL the tricks in the bag. One of my favorite jams.
Such an amazing performance! This has to be one of my favourite things on TH-cam
This is madness !!! Perfect !!!
This song is actual perfection
OMG! Give me half that talent and I'd be content!! Wow Jeff...incredible! Well done sir! Cheers!
Perfect cover.
Never seen a perpetual burn's cover like this, beautiful !!!
I won the Guinness World Record for largest explosion in my pants, after I watched this video. JTFC Jeff Loomis I think is one of the few guitarists who can seriously sweep in their sleep.
Watching Jeff play guitar makes me want to quit life. Keep rocking Jeff, you're the man.
Love it, nicely framed, with the poster of becker in view.
That's one of the greatest things I've ever witnessed.
Jeff, you introduced me to this song in the best possible way

He will always be on a league of his own, Becker that is.
Jason didn't get to mime it with pieced-together takes. See 3:14 and also the tone change on the last arpeggios.
@@redchannel8610 you think Jeff pieced this video together? Lmao
@@redchannel8610 I’m pretty sure they had studio recordings back then too. Maybe on an 8 track but the capability to splice multiple takes nonetheless
No one can't even better than this version,, superbbb
JEFF NAILS THIS 🎸👍🏻, Excellent ! 💯💥🎸👍🏻
Absolutely amazing...
Gus Drax...did the "Altitude" and you grogg this...amazing :D
Love you guys :D
a guitar legend covering a guitar god's song. it doesn't get much better than this.
This is the best cover I ever seen he nailed it ..
The best cover of Perpetual Burn in my opinion. Thanks Jeff for uploading it. BTW, could you upload more? Thanks Jason for writing so many masterpieces and inspire us all.
Great !!! Fast and clean \m/
Jeff is the great!!!
why does this already not have millions of views
The original video posted on Keith Merrow channel got 1 m+ views, now its gone idk
Excellent cover
Man ... best solo
so clean .
Jeff Loomis, absolutely the best I've ever seen. Chris Broderick amazing as well. Nailing Perpetual Burn is like learning Paganinis caprices. Jason Becker, God bless you man, only a genius could write this
That was just perfect
Great job jeff....🤘
Definitely the best Perpetual Burn cover on youtube... but of course its Jeff Loomis. Saw you in Dallas a few years back man. Wicked
Absolute beast!!!
Flawless victory

WOW!! What a great guitar player! EPIC
