Serrana is a solo guitar etude that relies heavily on arpeggios and the technique of sweep picking. It was written and composed by neo-classical metal guitarist Jason Becker. Though the final orchestral trumpet version appears on his 1996 album Perspective, its roots can be traced to almost the mid-1980s. History Serrana was composed in the late 1980s while Becker was in the band Cacophony. Around this time, the guitarist began to incorporate the composition into his solos, using complex sweep picking techniques. One such performance was filmed during an April 1989 concert in Japan.
