Hey Folks, @jasonbeckerofficial was one of those fiercely burning beautiful lights of guitar mastery before he was struck with ALS some 30 years ago. Although his potential seemed to have been cut short, his creative spirit continued to birth his inspirational music despite intense limitations. As a matter of fact, it’s my opinion that those limitations forced him to find a deeper creativity in his music and a way to bring it into the world. But today Jason's challenges are more of the financial kind to him and his family who have been unconditionally supporting him through it all. Please consider supporting Jason at this time through this fund raiser. Special shout out to @hermanli who is tirelessly facilitating this campaign. #shredforjasonbecker

Happy Birthday to my power twin brother @billyshee

Happy Birthday to my power twin brother @billysheehanonbass. In my world Billy has been, and still is the greatest rock bass player the world has ever known. He’s pioneered techniques that are untouchable by any other player I have seen or heard. He is a true legend in that world. Much of the tapping that I do was inspired by working with Billy through the years. He stands alone in the innovational way he plays. I can’t believe my good fortune in having the opportunity to know and work and tour with him through the years, but most vitally the deep friendship we cultivated. Billy and I really hit the scene hard in the early “Eat em and Smile” David Lee Roth band, and we blew up the bridge! When I see footage of what we did together as those youthful rock stars, my mind is thoroughly blown. We had some nerve I’ll tell you that. Those days, that record and that tour, and what we accomplished was really something, and we did it hard and completely with no excuses.

Billy's musical ears are a marvel in themselves. Name a song and he will play it… and sing it! He has been thoroughly committed to his craft his entire life without the remotest question about it. He has survived and thrived though at least 6 musical generation overhauls and has never wavered in his integrity for the music that runs through his blood, and the goals on the instrument that his imagination dictates. He is a gifted musician from head to foot, but more than anything else, he’s just the best fucking guy you could wanna know.

Just being with Billy through the years was the best. He has an uncanny sense of humor and most of the time we were laughing. We shared things with each other that only the closest of friends would confide. We’ve grown through the years together spiritually too and I could not be more grateful for the wisdom he’s shared with me.

To my Power Twin brother, Happy Birthday Bill. And thank you. You are exceptional.
