• Jason Becker performing Caprice No. 5...
I've been playing and teaching Jason Becker songs for more than 20 years. I believe this is the best electric guitar performance ever and matchless so I didn't want to ruin this one that's why I used Jason's performance. I tried my best to transcribe this performance and hope it will be useful for new-generation guitarists to learn from Jason Becker.
Tempo rubato: 147 is not continuous
Caprice No. 5 is one of 24 pieces composed by virtuoso violinist Niccolò Paganini in the early 19th century. The piece is known for its incredible speed and extremely high technical difficulty. Paganini is said to have been able to play it on one string, but there is no evidence to support or refute this.
The piece is also associated with the movie Crossroads (1986 film) as "Eugene's Trick Bag", which was written and performed by Steve Vai and heavily inspired by the caprice.
The first recorded true transcription of the piece appeared on Eliot Fisk's landmark recording that transcribed the entire 24 Caprices for the classical guitar.
