Jason Becker's solo album set new standards in progressive music. It embodies brilliant compositions featuring highly structured and complex guitar lines. This record paints a clear picture as to why Jason succeeded Van Halen and Steve Vai in David Lee Roth's organization. As Becker is one of the longest living individuals with ALS disease (more than 20 years) he is the focus of tremendous media attention and has a movie being filmed about his life in 2011.

Before Legendary guitarist Jason Becker (Cacophony, David Lee Roth) signed to Shrapnel Records he began to engage in a series of demo recordings, mostly for his own enjoyment. During his years at Shrapnel he continued to  record his “studies” on his four track recorder. Raspberry Jams is a the first in a series of Jason’s personal recordings that include unreleased material as well as his personal demos for some of his Shrapnel recordings.

While with Cacophony, Marty Friedman completed this solo album, an intense classical/speed metal instrumental full of complicated changes, impressive solo work, and incredible drumming by Deen Castronovo (Journey, Ozzy Osbourne, Bad English). The heaviest of Marty's solo CD's, this is an exciting collectable for fans of Marty's guitar work with Megadeth and Cacophony.

Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman, supported by Megadeth drummer Nick Menza and Kitaro keyboardist Brian BecVar, recorded and produced Scenes in part with Kitaro in his own 32-track digital studio, Scenes achieves a level of musicality that further established Friedman as one of the greatest composers of our era.

Vinnie's debut solo album features phenomenal guitar work supported by drummer Tommy Aldridge (Ozzy Osbourne, Pat Travers, Whitesnake), bassist Andy West (The Dregs), and keyboardist Tony MacAlpine (Steve Vai), who helped him to win Guitar Player Magazine's reader's poll "Best New Talent" award.
