A decent candidate for best guitarist to ever live...is paralysed...becomes even more humbling and inspirational.

A tragic and phenomenal story. I cant say that I'm looking forward to seeing it, but I'm gonna watch it.

A very inspirational guitarist and person.

I remember the first time that i saw the american news special on Jason (via Youtube) and i was almost in tears, but his refusal to give up is nothing short of amazing.

That is going to be hard to watch but that is insignificant to what he has dealt with. Inspiring and humbling.

I've been amazed by him and his story for years & this is a must watch.

such a shame to have all that natural ability taken away from you, but he's dealt with it in the only way he can by getting on with life and somehow still managing to write music of that caliber, such an inspiration.

Although I don't care for the finish, it's for a great cause and is signed by Guthrie Govan. If only I had a few thousand $ to throw around.

They've reposted this thing like 5 times and haven't recieved a single bid, which sucks. I really hope someone picks this thing up.

Just watched the trailer. Will no doubt be a difficult watch it also looks utterly fascinating.
