This can never be said enough: Jeff Loomis is a badass.

That's the chorus riff for "Born", and yes, it's one of the greatest chorus's and riff's ever written. It's also quite challenging and fun to play. I like how they start cheering at the diminished arrpegios at the end of the Born solo. That part is almost impossible but he makes it look easy here.

This was the video where I first found out about him. My jaw dropped to the floor.. I was like how the heck did I not know about this guy!? Amazing musician.

It's not just the playing but the attitude while shredding so tastily. Jeff's the man

What I like the most about Jeff Loomis is that he's not afraid to do what a lot of guitar snobs would consider "amateur", like using open strings in the tapping riff at 1:16. He doesn't let the fact that he's a skilled guitarist get in the way of exploring all of the possibilities with the guitar.

the guy at the very end of the video "WE'RE NOT WORTHY!"

I litteraly laugh out loud hearing it!! Hahahaha

Shit, time to go listen to every Nevermore song

Ah excellent. I love how he goes through heaps of solos one after the other. Great clip, you can tell those in the crowd are enjoying it.

Damn, where the hell was I when this happened??? What a awesome fk'n vid, man! You were right in his face for the ultimate shred clinic! All his best solos in one kick ass compilation. Thanks for posting that!

I love the agression and intensity with which he plays his riffs. One of the best metal players out there

Hahaha! One of the best comments on KZread right there my friend! On another note, Loomis' technique is incredible, how does he manage to pick/tap/sweep etc. with so much precision. Amazing.

One of the best metal guitarists out there. This guy can't get enough credit. Extremely creative and talented.

you make a really good point here mate. It's like he doesn't feel the need to have to show off constantly, he's just all about making music

I will never underestimate anyone I see with a Visitor's pass at NAMM after seeing this.

That was sick. Thanks!

loomis' chops are not even human. this guy is still so young and is so ahead of his years...

wow! what a solo medley!! 0:21 final product 1:16 the river dragon has come 2:17 born 3:50 this godless endeavor

CANT WAIT TO SEE NEVERMORE!!!!

Wow! i love jeff. can't wait till his cd comes out sept. 30th every solo was perfect!

all i got to say is holy shit! some of the coolest and most skilful playing ive seen in a while. a joy to watch

Jeff is out of this world amazing. And the nicest guy.

I feel priviledged that Jeff is allowing me :D

Thanks man!

the sweeps from this godless endeavor are really sick! love 'em!

@HeavyMetalVagabond I'm glad you liked Timewarp. Over the Mountains always melts my face though and soulmates is a super slick song with excellent phrasing and awesome choice of notes

The thing that plays at 2.32 is insane. My ears are in love!!

jeff has changed the way i play diminished arpeggios. he really tests them to the extreme. his arpeggio use is very innovative like that of jason becker.

Jeff is amazing 🤘

That's why this guy is my favorite guitarist!!!!! He is making that solos look easy.

very nice list my friend

Jeff Loomis has such an awesome playing style. He's definitely one of the best players in metal these days.

Jeff is awesome...he has all the major bases covered which is quite rare...rhythm,lead,melody,phrasing and composition. Many guys can "shred" old Yngwie licks faster than Yngwie himself but they can't play rhythm guitar and/or write a decent riff to save their lives. Jeff is an exception...he is raising the bar for metal players in a positive way.

i didn't listen to metal for like 7 years, then i heard loomis' solo album. thank god he's making another one. i don't know what else to listen to. wouldn't mind if he broadened his genre though. He's obviously capable of it, but that's just me, whatever caulks your wagon.

That was realy enlightnening, cheers dude. I figures just fine, thanx!

Awesome song!!!

God I wanna see him play so BADDDdddd. Jeff is awesome.

one of the most underrated guitarists ever period

incredible, loomis has such a unique dark evil style and i love it

How come it is possible to someone dislike this guy playing guitar?

Just great playing and such an nice ear for melody! I myself play the guitar in a metal band, doing ok, but not near this godlike skills.. If i ever becomes realy great at the guiter i would play solos like this.. actually the soll at the end is one of my favourites when i want to pick out the greates solos for newbies or just some one who hasn´t heard Nevermore before.. simply amazing.. sorry for the bad spelling guys

amazing guitarist from an awesome band./...

thats the best list i've seen by far haha

one of the greatest shredders in one of the greatest bands

awesome!!!!

Jeff is SO underrated. Many of you say oh his high gain is covering up his mistakes/sloppiness, not true. He uses high gain to get the low a/b string to be heard and besides metl NEEDS high gain. And Jeffs' stuff is some of the most inspirational. If you want to hear him at his best just wait 'til his solo album comes out.

Damn!!! This guy's sooo talented...why the hell is he so under rated?

with jeff loomis of NEVERMORE!!!!!

JUST AMAZING!!!!

only one word: excellent!

60fps is not enough

Amazing! This guy must have been shredding right out of the womb.

this guy is fucking awesome first time ive heard him im gonna have to check this band out

fucking amazing... i love at the end "were not worthy!!" jeff loomis is definately my hero

Oh my god. He plays so flawlessly.

yeah. i was saying that the born solo that was in here was at toward the end of the actually track of born

i just got a loomis signature!!! its soooo sick

Actually is a Schecter Diammond Series 7string Jeff Loomis Signature guitar... Cheers

ive seen him play it live perfectly...

hell yeah final product is kickass!! well they all are but for some reason ive been digging that solo a lot lately.

sure hope he's at NAMM 2009 i'll be there rocking out

the title of the vid is naam 2008 but the description says 2007. which means jeff can time warp with those guitar skills

Impresionante y Motivador!!!! Dios Jeff Loomis Alabado seas!!!!

Dude, you rock. I would KILL for one of Loomis' picks, especially if it's still warm from the guitarwork.

His guitar is a signature 7 string Schecter based off the Hellraiser. The back of the neck matches the body in finish.

love his shred... and his hair

The last one was the best. The solo for This Godless Endeavor is amazing, probably one of his best, if not his best.

that's the chorus of Born! and it's just amazing!

Very, very true. I've got much smaller hands them him, unfortunately, so it makes his particular style of playing pretty difficult for me. The stuff Michael Romeo plays is more my speed due to him having smaller hands also, and using a lot of legato in his playing in a way to make up for it. I tend to go that route myself.

it says schecter its hust small and at the top so the position and lighting gets in your way

@MagicDumbledore Born, from the album This Godless Endeavor

Anybody wanna tell me what song its in on the opening tapping part. I know that I've heard it, just can't place it

i swear before i die i will learn all of his songs

It is, tyvm

Good news every one, Jeff is coming to Rock House next week to shoot his first every FULL length instructional DVDs, Check out Rock House Method for more info,

Fantastic guitarist

The final comment "we're not worthy" has never rung so true.

sometimes he uses inverted powerchords or slash chords, which basically look like drop-tuned one finger riffs. They make the song sound heavier by flipping the chord upside down.

@HeavyMetalVagabond That's from "The River Dragon has Come" on Dead Heart in a Dead World.

It's born from their latest album, this godless endeavor

Jeff Loomis is insane each of his fingers has a mind of its own. Cant wait for Wacken Open Air 09

@tujungite satin, and the neck is sick, people say its really big and think but i didnt find any difficulty with it at all. you will be happy with it i am sure of it. and sorry took awhile to respond man

@roccoparviz Good luck finding a guy who can compose music like this. It's not just about having the ability to play it, it's about having the talent to write it as well.

jeff loomis in my eyes The best guitar player in my world.

Agreed. Jeff Loomis is the best. No question, he can write really fuckin well and can widdle just as good or even better than everyone else.

Amazing

just pure awsomeness

no this is at NAMM its just him doing a compilation of all the solo's in This Godless Endeavor

hes an unleashed beast noone can subdue

These 4 songs he plays are probably Nevermore's best solos merged into 1

Jeff is so underratted.

it's not "the final product"! the song is: "The River Dragon Has Come" from album "Dead Heart In A Dead World"

the guitarist im talking about is jeff loomis. which fits what i just said decently well

i think jeff has now moved to my favorite guitarist. i need to pick up his solo album.

jeff is wicked alright, just such a pity they didn't record the sound separately off the desk. But what a wicked shredder yeah !

what song is the first thing he plays w/ the tapping?

Amazing playing as expected, spoiled by oh so shit sound quality

this guy is the only guy left in metal besides paul gilbert that can still come up with fresh original stuff.

jeff is the perfect guitar machine!!!!!I'm so jealous and so proud of him,haha!!!!!

amazing shred max

Jeff is a guitar God for sure
