Throughout April, some of the world's greatest guitarists came together to raise money and celebrate the music of legendary guitarist and composer Jason Becker, who has been living with ALS for over 30 years and continues to compose and record music.

The virtual event, hosted in part by DragonForce guitarist Herman Li, included three components:

1) A livestream telethon-style fundraiser on Twitch: special guests appeared on Herman Li's Twitch channel (twitch.tv/hermanli) to play, jam and participate in fan-generated challenges with all money raised going directly to Jason's medical trust.

2) Artists donated signed guitars, merch and other rare items which will be sold via a special Reverb shop to benefit Jason. Details TBA.

3) Three of Jason's most important guitars will be auctioned off later this year, including the guitars seen on the covers of Perpetual Burn, Speed Metal Symphony and the original "Numbers" guitar played by Eddie Van Halen. Details TBA.

Musicians participating in the fundraiser included: Marty Friedman, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Steve Lukather, Mark Tremonti, John Petrucci, Kiko Loureiro, Tosin Abasi, Nita Strauss, Orianthi, Devin Townsend, Dave Ellefson, Michael Angelo Batio, Guthrie Govan, Tim Henson, Alex Skolnick, Albert Lee, Matt Heafy, Zoltan Bathory, Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal, Satchel (Steel Panther), John 5, Gus G, Nili Brosh, Jason Richardson, The Dooo (YouTube), Jared Dines, Ola Englund, Steve Terreberry (StevieT on YouTube), Tyler Larson (Music is Win on YouTube), Cole Rolland, Thomas McRocklin, Rusty Cooley, Mattias IA Eklundh (Freak Kitchen), Sam Totman, Chris Broderick, Lari Basilio, Sophie Lloyd, Federico Mondelli and Fabiola Bellomo (Frozen Crown), Alex Lee (Holy Grail), Stevie Salas, Elliot Easton, Mika Tyyska, Daniel Dekay, N&M Creation (YouTube) and more.

Li has shared his jam clip with guitarist Steve Stevens (Billy Idol) from earlier this year, which was originally streamined on Shred Talk for the Jason Becker Fundraiser. Check it out below.

Herman Li: Do you remember the first time you heard about Jason Becker?

Steve Stevens: "I kind of knew about him only because I was friends with Mark Varney from Shrapnel Records. He would always tell me about the new hotshot guitar players. But when Jason joined David Lee Roth was when I stood up and took notice and went, 'Oh, who's this guy?'"

Herman Li: It must be scary to speak to Mike Varney. He's like, "I just lined up a few more assassins on the guitar world to come here on this planet to show you how it should be played..."

Steve Stevens: "His heart is in the right place because he loves the instrument. I always thought that Mike would turn me on to new guys, and I think it's important to hear what new players are doing and where the instrument is going. First and foremost, I'm the fan of the instrument, and when somebody does something new with it, I'm as excited as anybody seeing it."
