And now is much worse bc warrel Dane it's dead :(

The bit that most inspires me about Jeff is how much he's improved after so many years playing. He's already great here, but on Conquering Distopia he's at a completely different level. Amazing to see such a quest for perfection on an already accomplished player!

+Chema Martin I think his playing in his signature pickup demo is even better than on Conquering Dystopia. Check it out on Keith Merrow's channel.

+Piotrek Lesiński I have seen that video and the one showing his studio setup, but none of them shows playing that is superior, at least not to my ears. Conquering dystopia is particularly impressive not just in terms of technique, but the incredible harmonic and rhythmic complexity Jeff plays lead over, plus the huge amount of minor nuances he adds (bends, slides, etc.)... It really is incredible when he can pull that all together live!

I totally know what you mean! Some of my favorite solos on that album are actually his slower more melodic ones. Nuclear Justice (intro solo), Lachrymose (the whole song), Destroyer of Dreams (the riffs in general and the outro solo). There is so much emotion in all of those solos!

Chema Martin: this guy is just a bottle of wine . Gets better with age.

I love that Paul Gilbert pattern. It's the second time now I've seen Jeff recommend it for picking development. This guy is awesome!

This Yngwie vs Jeff debate is really immature and disrespectful to both these great souls.When Jeff himself says Yngwie was a huge inspiration,it means he spent hours together learning Yngwie s stuff.He accepts it.What is even the point of the debate? Yngwie s a great showman....but Jeff has written some of the most brutal riffs ever written by a human being ,while Nevermore existed.He s terribly under rated guitarist.

This is a great interview. I really enjoyed it.

this guy is my new inspiration style changed completely and he got me into being a fan of schecter guitars before used to be a kirk hammett like style player and an esp fan but now I'm interested into playing like Mr Jeff Loomis

It's awesome to see a guy this great on his instrument that's so humble and classy. Yngwie's "I'm better than everyone" dickish attitude very much overshadows his masterful playing in my opinion.

The thing he played at 3:38 is the cleanest lick i have ever heard on that speed!Just amazing!

He's too underrated for a great guitar player who can pull almost anything on string.

I love his pick attack. It really gives him his own sound.

Killer chops!! Jeff Loomis kills!! Thanks for the post..

Good Questions and great answers from Jeff.

This is a good interview! (rare thing nowadays), leaves you wanting more. I love how he took all that influence and make it his own style, like in some riffs and melodies he sounds like yngwie, but a lot darker.

AWESOME really really good tips from jeff , his playing speaks for itself .probb the best modern metal guitar player that i have ever had the pleasure to witness.

03:37 that scales patterns are from the first section of "Jet to Jet" solo by Yngwie Malmsteen

true talent and artistry with humility - what a concept!

Awesomely amazing.

This guy´s just not human! I never saw some one play so fast, so awesome and without a stupid ego. He plays things that most just can´t and never will (like me sadly) and yet so calmly and without even breaking a sweat! This guy should be in at least top 3 in a best guitar player list.

Wow nice, as a guitar player I think I am on the right track after ten years of playing lol. He named all my favorite guitar players I looked up to an still do an well Jeff is one of them also. Keep shredding Jeff you're the first guy I have seen to evolve shredding to a new level.

That part where he slows down and does the bend, right before going into the sweeps, is pure awesome.

He is a God...

He has an incredible gift -- from God .. (and so do you and each and everyone one of us; a lot of them -- hidden) Man's (mankind) potential is practically unlimited if he "seeks" it!

I love the tones this guys has in like very video!

Wow... I really enjoyed the video!

That early VH stuff he played separates this video from most others about Jeff .. I got 10+ years on Jeff, so that was quite the treat to include probably my first guitar hero ..

4:28 - solo album riff for sure. amazing.

Great guitarist. I have a photo with him!!! Yeahh! His music has been exciting me for almost a decade... I love this guy and his work! NEVERMORE was and always will be my favorite band and the reason I got into metal.

I love Jeff so humble!!!

He has an awesome laughter..... Wish I had one like that

Wow, I didn't realize he'd had his sig guitar for so damn long. Good for him, love the Loomis

Dude Jeff easily outclasses Yngwie several-fold...not only in technique and skill but also in innovation...pretty much everything I've ever heard Yngwie do is just a small chunk of what the very colorful and diverse spectrum of Jeff's compositions. I used to think Yngwie was a sacred cow until I heard this guy...

I have no idea how the interviewer hung on...but if I was in the room there I d ve fainted and fallen on my face right after the awesomeness of Enemies of Reality and the way Jeff Played it like it was no big deal.God Damn,he s so fucking heavily talented and so humble.May he live long.

So clean.

See how his face lights up at 3:22 . He is really all about the music.

I never heard of this guy B4, he's really good

that last lick...with the vibrato....WOW!! fucking Jeff is a BEAST!!!

Godly. His guitar prowess is amazing!

Loomis is one of my favorites for sure. Michael Romeo from Symphony X is my favorite player, but I also dig Marcel Coenen. Marcel is a master of clean technique, and he is blistering fast.

Finally a somewhat reasonably isolated track of arpeggios I can use as ringtones on my phone!

Do I honestly want to replace my current "Peace Sells" with that? I'm still pondering .. But good suggestion indeed .. I might have to try that ..

Dude I literally was just about to say that but I saw your comment. How perfect a match. Not only does he say that LOL but he also plays a hella fast lick with the amp turned off which skwisgar is always doing haha. Yes!

that amp sound amazing! Jeff is the shiz!!!!

Amazing!

wtf he played the solo from rising force faster than yngwie

Amazing Guitar player......definitly one of the best in the world.

I really am just shocked at how humble this man is...you take Yngwie who is yeah, pretty damn good, but he's also like the biggest self-obsessed snobby bigot on the planet...then you've got Jeff who not only outclasses Yngwie several-fold, but acts as if there's absolutely nothing unusual about his, let's face it, LEGENDARY skill... This man is my new guitar hero. Scratching everything on my xmas list and replacing it with a schecter 7-string. Rock on, Jeff!

seems like a very humble cool dude

i appreciate it brother

most underated brillient guitarist out there, i dont know any guitarist that can match his playing tone and compositions not even Jason becker and marty friedman can top him even know there my favorite guitarist of all time.

this guys the best

WOOW jeff playing malmsteen stuff! Fantastic

legend

@varulv234 Yeah, when he's on that neck pickup, tone-wise, it's muted, but yet so clear at the same time. Jeff is so freakin' amazing.

Awesome Tone!

So glad he's with Jackson now.

He has really improved his alternate picking hand the last 1-2 years

Good god, Jeff's a beast.

Damn!!! His vibrato is so amazing. I have tried to get that sound out of my fingers but i have never succeeded.

he is a true musician.

Thanks MaryJana!!!

he´s one of my favourite guitarists "you know" :-)

i like how he says at 6:46, he will show the arpeggios in this godless endeavor slowly and than get faster, but he goes from slow to full speed, good old loomis

hell yeah man.. i got H&K vortex and tubeman preamp and.. I must say it sounds pretty killer. I'm saving money for triamp right now. I've never heard anything sounding so fuckin amazing as this amp.

@ducky811 but various guitarists doesn't have those long finguers, like malmsteen or michael romeo but i guess their technique is a bit different

God i wish i knew Jeff personally. He is my ultimate favorite guitar player.

@bombershard I definitively agree with you, he shows no condescending behavior and also shows no ego. i feel life is full of irony, the people that have egos are good at nothing and the ones that don't have egos master everything!!!!!

thank you

@Andoni666 Actually, it's Jet To Jet by Alcatrazz.

Sick. Thanks :).

hughes and kettner is an awesome brand.

This tone is so sick

I have FRAMUS COBRA and i love this tone :)

he has the same 3 favorite guitar players i have.

he respects other muscians....and that is so great!

funny it was loomis got me into studying theory with my teacher who is really good, thinking how is jazz going to help me in metal and now it has made a much better player

No, they use Engl Special Edition heads and prior to that Jeff had a deal with Krank amplifiers. For recording they have used Krank and 5150s prior to their newest album. That one they will probably use the Engls.

i'm lucky my vibrato came naturally, playing old hard rock, and listening to Yngwie and Marty/Becker helped a lot too lol

does anyone know of the paul gilbert exercise he is referring to? is there a video on youtube?

Indeed.

aw yeah getting this guitar in a few weeks when i get my next paycheck, hell yeah

@matineesuxxx oh... haha! regardless, i cant wait for his new one

there are hughes and kettner amps, because he didn't bring the amp to the interview. they're placed at the disposal by the interviewer.

He plays through Engl amps yet that's a Hughes and Kettner head he's playing through over this video. Awesome tone.

What song is it that he does at 3:40? i love this kind of shred and i havent gotten into loomis all that much yet...

Miles of Machines dude, great song \m/

Yeah, he uses an overdrive pedal to get that clicking sound, he mentioned it, when he had a clinic in our country

Point taken, it's just that the music to me, did have some context. The relative Eb minor would be an open note, and most of the time that would be the root. However, you're right, it's probably more correct to name the parent.

4:47 what guitarist arte they talking about their I couldnt hear

Whats the best way to get into this guys music.any suggestions etc?

6:30 " I can't play slow man " :)

best guitarist in the world a the moment

yep

what song is that at 3:38, i wanna learn that riff i heard him in brodeick playing it in a solo contest

they used to use them! they now use the mesa boogie now! the roadster head i think they used!

fuck yeah @3:20 I'LL SEE THE LIGHT TONIGHT!!!!

I'll see the Jeff Loomis, tonight

(1:52) I had no idea jeff did economy picking. - on the way back down the scale. he's awesome! If there was a shredder to represent all the other shredders out there, then jeff would be it.

you're a monster jeff

@TomekSCyrek "jet to jet" by alcatrazz

mine has EMG-707's VERY NICE!

they have the best tone and they sound just like the EMG-81's. trust me they are worth the hundred bucks!
