If I remember right that is one of the apprentice pieces required for Juilliard. I didnt think he was real clean playing that. Never thought becker was that clean of a player, imho.

Dude... I didnt know,, Becker has Lou Gehrig's disease.. bummer.. thats sad.. My aplogize for being critical Mr. Becker.. I am wondering if he was battling the illness when he made those videos..
From Beckers Site..
As you probably know, I am a guitarist/musician. You also probably know I have had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease) for 12 years. In 1989, doctors told me I would probably die in 3 to 5 years. What you probably don't know is why I am still alive, and why in the past four years I haven’t gotten any worse, only better. I have gained at least 30 pounds and three muscles, and this is with a few months here and there of getting off health food and treatments.

I thought he plays it pretty good though it has real bad tone...sounds like he's playing through a Crate solid state amp...another sweep feind  |

I didn't know he was gettin' better though..good news! poor guy.. |
