feel is not a term from outter space.. its about dynamics and vibratos and bends and such.. its not like SRV or Jimmy Page or B.B King got a secret way to play guitar or something like that but the thing is that they know how to use all those things ive mentioned and thats what feel is about. in jason becker's music he misses this.. usualy hes just too busy with sweeping fast arpegios and you can say he sounds good and all but his music is still tasteless and feel-less in my opinion.
im not talking in absolute terms here.. its my opinion, but when someone plays so fast it comes instead of other things anothe player would have used in the same solo..

What Jason Becker's songs have you listened to? the man never misses the dynamics or soul even when he's shredding or sweeping.
Try 'Altitudes' from 'Perpetual Burns' album , if you did and say it's boring or played without feelings... hmmm ... I donno what can I tell you then..
I agree that some shredders are pretty boring, like malmsteen & michael angelo...
on the other hands, most of other shredders have amazing technincs,style & soul like Vai,Satch,Gilbert,Petrucci, Jason Becker ,and many others...
I believe in 10 years or so, Jason Becker will be rediscovered & remembered as a legend ... the man contributed to the music so much in very short period, he only have one amazing solo album written & played by him, and another one that was mostly played on key board since he couldn't play then...
