   About Joe Becker
BIOGRAPHY

Joe has dominated the world of solo guitar for more than a decade, as can be heard on releases with Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Richie Sambora, Michael Angelo Batio, Steve Morse, Buckethead, Alex Skolnick, Bumblefoot, Blues Saraceno, Lars Eric Mattsson, Jeff Pilson, Mark Wood, Ron Keel, Randy Coven, E’nuff Z’nuff, Trixter, Joe Kelley and others. When he was barely 8, Joe exploded onto the music scene with his jaw-dropping abilities on Chicago’s premier rock radio station, 97.9 "The Loop" on the Jonathan Brandmeier show.  Years later, his 2006 album, "Short Stories," established seemingly overnight not only his technical ability, but his musicianship and pop sensibilities - leaving the "Shred" and "Virtuoso" guitar scenes behind in favor of reaching the average radio listener. A legend in technique and composition, Joe’s career is reaching new heights with every release. A respected musician among both his peers and his fans, Joe continues to play and compose with an ear and level of mastery that many career musicians only dream of.

Becker is a very versatile and lyrical player who runs the gauntlet from shred to ear catching, melodic instrumentals, at times bringing to mind players such as Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson.
Mike Varney - Guitar Player Magazine

Joe has a great bluesy feel and plays with his heart.  Good technique with tapping and speedy stuff - he’s one of those guys that ya jam with for hours and a lot of cool stuff happens, know what I mean?
Ron Thal (A.K.A. Bumblefoot) - Guns n’ Roses

Joe Becker is one of those guitarists who can take you into places you want to go
but never seem to get the chance.  A truly gifted musician.
Dick Wagner - Alice Cooper

What tone, feel and chops, AND humour.
Love the " spoken-blues rave" whilst you are shredding..with taste I might add.
Steve Lukather - Toto

He’s got the most incredible tone.............ever.
Greg Douglass - Steve Miller Band

Joe Becker has some really wicked blues chops.  He is a very versatile musician and I am proud to call him my friend.  I can’t wait to jam with him when I am healed.
Jason Becker - David Lee Roth / Cacophony

Joe Becker is a very good guitarist.
Michael Von Knooring - Yngwie Malmsteen

You’re really good, man.
Eric Martin - Mr. Big

I enjoy listening to your music.
Leo Lyons - Ten Years After

Joe’s got a good vibe goin’ on and some tasty tunes.
George Bellas - Moggway / Ring Of Fire

Excellent sense of melody and amazing chops.
Joe Kelley - The Shadows of Knight

Joe’s playing style puts a fresh spin on the blues while still staying true to the roots of the music and paying tribute to the legends.  His licks are original,innovative and full of feeling but yet still manage to capture the essence of the music that has made Chicago the World Capital of the Blues for over 50 years.  Joe Becker is a versatile player who can handle many styles of music, but I’m  partial to that low down and dirty blues......This is some great music that deserves to be heard!
Dave Herda - The Chicago Blues Explosion
