Scott's Metal track of the Day - Jewel by Marty Friedman (featuring Jason Becker)

Today's Instrumental Metal Track is Jewel by Marty Friedman (featuring Jason Becker). This is off of his 1988 album Dragon's Kiss.

"Jason and I were in the Orange County airport waiting for a plane so we opened our guitar cases and wrote this in about 10 minutes right there at the gate in the airport. It was nothing unusual for us to just start playing anywhere. We really didn't care about what else was going on, if we wanted to jam, we just did. As we wrote this, we knew immediately that we both loved the piece so we began to fight over who was going to get the song on his solo album. This was right as we were both gathering material for our solo records, but we knew only one of us could get the song. Neither of us wanted to give it up! Eventually we decided to flip a coin and I won." - Marty
