Opus Pocus

"Opus Pocus" is an instrumental electric guitar track by Jason Becker, released on his album 'Collection' via Shrapnel Records in 2008. Becker, known for his extraordinary neoclassical shred technique, composed demanding pieces that blend classical phrasing with high-speed guitar work. Learning this track offers players a serious challenge in technique, phrasing, and musical vocabulary drawn from one of the most respected figures in shred guitar.

  • Jason Becker's 'Collection' features guitar legends including Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Marty Friedman, and Greg Howe as guest contributors.
  • The track runs approximately 5 minutes and 37 seconds, giving players an extended workout in sustained technical guitar playing.
  • 'Collection' was released on Shrapnel Records, the label historically central to the neoclassical and shred guitar movement of the 1980s and beyond.

Becker's custom Carvin Stratocaster-style 'Numbers' guitar became his signature axe, offering the single-coil and humbucker versatility needed for both singing sustain and cleaner melodic passages like 'Air'.
