Jason Becker recalls their bittersweet first meeting, how EVH pressed his record label to provide a good deal, and his insistence on making a PSA in person

David Lee Roth had a litany of guitar-playing talents in his band and they all agree on one thing…

Looking to go one better than Van Halen, the singer recruited the best guitar playing talents he could find

As the '80s ended and the '90s began, changing tastes in the guitar universe, the tasks of a new gig, and the tragedy that would forever transform Becker's life would force the guitarist to look back at early lessons he learned from a blues master

All proceeds from the sale of the Wolfgang – one of the first 100 ever built – will go to assist Becker's family with the enormous costs of the guitarist's medical care.

Two Moridira Hurricanes and Becker's unique Peavey "Numbers" guitar were sold to help raise money for the guitarist's significant medical costs.

Nili Brosh, Joe Satriani, and Mark Tremonti-signed guitars will also be sold by Reverb to assist Becker with health care costs.

The maestro had been hospitalized last week after experiencing persistent shortness of breath and a rapid heart rate.
