*Very good!!! Good times in metal guitar virtuosity.* 🎸💥

2nd place is more my like....en...

So fast and clean at the same time. Absolutely majestic.

"wow this guy can shred" "wow this guy can shred"

I studied classical guitar with Jeff at DU in the early 2000s... What an amazing diverse player... When he walked out on stage at the fillmore in Denver with Mega a couple years later I didnt know who was gonna be playing and I was like holy shit I know this kid... My jaw dropped.... Great player..

Jeff only won because of his hair, let's be real

Threw _Sales of Charon_ in there. Peak shred.

Had a little Sails of Charon solo section descending in there - he’s in the vein of the incredible talent pool of guitarists that sprouted in the 80s to 90s derived from the predecessors of the late 60’s - 70s. He has a style akin to Sykes, or Becker talent wise, but it’s his own thing being formed. Guys like Yngwie and Marino were established in their teens too. I think just about every major city had the chain stores or a predominant local store doing these contests. They were fun, but you had a real separation of the men from the boys as far as development, musicality, technique and style. It takes a great deal of confidence as well as focus in skills and knowledge to get up and play through a setup already there cold. Plus, I think it really alienated other true talent players in other genres that were a different type of ‘shred’ like SRV, Moore, Rory. In which case, these were more typed to a metal genre mindset than anything IMO. Still, cool to see. Thank for the post.

just a bunch of scales and noise

Back when Cousin It was the hair style. (‾◡◝)

Can I say something That's not going to be popular. But Jeff sucks. What a bunch of wankery

The other guy didn't stand a chance

bigger the hands better the ability

You could literally hear faces melting as soon as he started sweeping those arpeggios mid shred 🤣🤘

Noone in that room could touch that.. Clear level or two above second place.

Of course Jeff Loomis won the contest. He has the biggest hair amongst all.

Other guy is better.

In the 90's if a guitar player had a hair like Jeff its a sign. 2024 bald = Riff monster

what was the prize? a hair cut? 🤣

Jeff got some Sails of Charon in there. That was a cool lick.

Hmm, that’s all I can say.

Shawn Lane!

He auditioned for Megadeth when he was only 16. Dave wanted him in, but said he was too young to tour. Now , that is crazy!!

God Bless Jeff Loomis and RIP Warrel Dane

And 10 minutes later Nirvana & Pearl Jam released major records......and Camp Noodle became irrelevant.....

Can he play blues like SRV??

Who played thru the Boogie!?

What guitar is that

Both guys were really good. Lets be real. No one plays this ripping any more!!!

Hey look ma no internet just ears

Jeff was underage, and only that's way Marty Friedman got the gig with Megadeth before Rust In Peace album.

Now thats some big ass hair!!! \m/

Yeah this Jeff Loomis is a great guitar player! The other guy is too! But Jeff won best guitarist that day.

Awesome guitar players! Badass long hair to go along with it! What helps very much to achieve this ability at a young age,is parents have a lot to do to make the child believe in himself or herself.

My vote goes to Scott Emmons

Loomis and brodrick never got the credit they deserved imo

NO ONES TALKING ABOUT THAT FKN PRIZE??? what lol. 15 million $ guitar??? what the shit haha

The first guy should lighten up on the Floyd. Sweep picking and tapping is also a boner killer. Not Eddie tapping, which gets old, too, I'm talking about the that comes right after the sweep picking. Modern "shred" is as annoying as Boogie Woogie piano 🎹 at the airport. After about 30 seconds, you're looking for some rope and an unsteady chair.

That is Sanctuary: into the mirror black album cover on his guitar that’s so bad ass. I miss whirl so much.

Those were the best days of my life-skateboards, guitars, and smokin weed!!!

and he plays second fiddle in the band he is in,shame

Anybody need a mop or two??? 😂

Dude, that blew my hair back!!!!

I’m a firm believer in “either you got it or you don’t” Jeff has it for sure

It’s about music, not speed. The Grateful Dead filled stadiums for 40 years without any 16th notes. Same with Hendrix. It’s all about humming a melody, not how fast you can play. It’s all about pussy. All dudes in that audience. Plenty of hippy pussy at the dead shows.

This is not even a competition. Guitar master vs a good player

How come America idol isn’t like this ?

Daaaaamn cousin It can play!!

Metal Guitarist > All

Five thousand percent awesome.
