Dude wrecked a string on a Floyd which means it likely jacked up the relative tuning of all the other strings and he just improv’d through it and compensated by ear. What a beast.
@yoteslaya11 Actually I find I get more sustain and resonance with my floyd Rose guitars over my fixed bridge guitars when I install a big brass trem block. You get more high end note clarity (treble) as well which is great for leads. Not sure how the intonation is a problem when the string length can be adjusted to perfection the same as a fixed bridge.
Brilliant. Jeff's shredding skills are immaculate. There are little to no effects and playing on a tube amp. He played very clean to a difficult to hear backing track. Jeff's songwriting is the best in heavy shred. 10/10
Jeff playing this tune live again must really keep his chops up. I saw him at a clinic with Merrow once and for about the first 30 seconds of technical stuff he was on the verge of being a bit loosey goosey when playing technical passages. then he locked in and played to inhuman perfection the rest of the clinic. So cool to see
Even right after Nevermore split, he had trouble remembering a lot of their lesser played songs. Now that he’s been with Arch Enemy for around 8 years, he’s had to push out a lot of his solo work from his memory bank. You can tell he doesn’t quite play them with the touch he had 14 years ago
@@coffinfeeder7732 to add to it, there was a lesson where he was going over this song and he said it’s one of those “either I get it or I don’t” passages in the song, which is unique for such a perfectionist. I prefer to see the human side myself, which can sometimes be the difference from economy picking mixed with legato vs machine like alternate picking. JP and Jason Richardson comes to mind there. Sometimes a bit too mechanical, if that makes sense
@@dougleydorite Another name that comes to mind on this subject is Yngwie Malmsteen actually. Extremely talented and gifted - but not always perfect like Paul Gilbert, Petrucci, etc.
but it's awesome to see that those guitars gods also make mistakes, it shows that they are real humans too lol , what makes a guitar noob like me to not feel so bad xD
@@NathaliaLimaMusic your skills are above and beyond. Unfortunately people don’t acknowledge an actual play-through.. they are more impressed with the fake stuff. I would highly recommend that you get into recording and join Nail The Mix and in 4-5 years, you’ll be able to write your own ticket. The gear needed to get good results is not expensive.
Man I hadn't seen any jeff's performance since prob 2012 of this song, brings so much memories back. Thanks for recording this, now in 2022 with how much everything's changed for all of us, refreshing! :)
Believe it or not : i came there long long before the performance to get the best place. So long before that i really saw dinosaurs and talked to them. (They were really nice and played heavy metal @Heavysaurus #heavysaurus)
Anyone that plays guitar knows how ridiculously hard it is to play a transition like the one at 3:14/3:15 where he goes from the higher frets to the lower...w/o missing a beat....all in time....CLEAN.
The thing that gets me is his string came out of the saddle throwing the whole guitar out of tune, but his true his musicianship and sheer talent as a performer shines most there. He didn't get frazzled by it he keeps it going . And some how got his guitar to keep sounding good afterwards, true craftsman in my eyes of music. Awesome
Idk if it's me. I like his tone better with the schecter guitars... I know that it's influenced by his playing but the schecter guitar had more that rounded sound and raw power.
Ich frage mich, wenn seine Haare in die Saiten kommen und sich umwickeln um die Saiten, schneidet er die Haare ab oder die Saite durch? Das hätte ich gerne mal gewußt....
im just a new fan of arch enemy .about 4 years i think ? and this sounds way waaaay more badass than what AE sounds now .they sound too generic nowadays .border line boring and the pattern of song writing seems off ..i know that michael ammot is also good ( back then ) but just let this man do his thing on the song writing part .sorry for my bad english
Cool to see Loomis again. I wish he stayed with Schecter instead of Jackson but ultimately it's choice. For 1k you get one the best guitars for the money. Jackson sells these at like triple the cost. Hope my first 7 string is Loomis' Schecter
Always wondered why JL never uses the neck pick-up. All of his guitars had neck pick-ups but he never used them, not even when playing cleans. His shredding (especially in this video ) would sound much better on the neck pickup
You know that's his signature Jackson, right? It was made with the specs of his liking. I'm sure he loved playing it just as much as his old Schecters. Personally, I've never been a fan of Schecter. The necks on Jacksons are much smoother and faster, imo.
EVH may have made tapping mainstream and his thing but there are many guitarists today that are miles better as far as technique and ability. Just because someone does something first doesn't automatically mean they are the best at it. That's why some people still say Jimi Hendrix is the best guitarist ever. Clearly that's not true anymore.
thats by the most respect so wrong! there are 10000s of guitarrists that tried to reach a good level but always failed. And sometimes when someone does first can be so good that none comes near!
@@DavidKrautscheid lmao you are such a clown. Jeff Loomis's technique & writing is absolutely professional. Are EVH & MAB incredible guitarists? Yeah. So is Jeff, one of the best to ever do it. He's doing stuff that neither of the guitarists you mentioned could. MAB is still killing it, and EVH was a pioneer but come on, man. Being one of the first to innovate a style doesn't make you untouchable.
I mean...that's like... your opinion, man. But calling one of the best guitarists and composers a dwarf compared to someone, whose most famous solo is copied by thousands of 14 year old kids is laughable. Sure, EVH was one of the best in terms of innovation, but as a guitarist, he was already overcome during mid 80s...

Sorry that there isn't more footage
that's just enough and very much appreciated, thank you! truly made my day :)
I mean seriously. One of the best shredders of all time
His technical abilities are God like but I hate his music
@@universefriend check out his solo for the regeneration song from 7 horns 7 eyes. also check out sacristy (his solo album)
Technically insane. Brandon Ellis kind of reminds me of Jeff. they have similar skills. Very north/south arpeggio orientated leads.
@@universefriendmakes me think you didn't even listen to the whole thing. Dude has major melody and writing chops all over this
@@donaldmacgregor2628this godless endeavor, dead heart in a dead world, and neon black are essential metal imo
My favorite guitarrist.
Same here!
I want more Jeff in my life.
Dude wrecked a string on a Floyd which means it likely jacked up the relative tuning of all the other strings and he just improv’d through it and compensated by ear. What a beast.
Lucky it was at the end of the tune or else he would've had to stop.
@17 Damage I have no issues.

@yoteslaya11 clearly u just suck with floyds lol, they are awesome for me, maybe learn more about them before buying
@bigcoomerloads I just hate re-stringing them lol. Did it once then after that I went back to hard bridges.
Brilliant. Jeff's shredding skills are immaculate. There are little to no effects and playing on a tube amp. He played very clean to a difficult to hear backing track. Jeff's songwriting is the best in heavy shred. 10/10
This dude is freaking amazing 🤘🤘🤘🤘
And he played all these leads on his bridge pickup.
Clean as hell.
That poor string went out in the best possible way. RIP
@Wes Liggett He went out with knowing that he was in good hands 🫡
Ladies and Gentlemen, JEFF... LOOOOOMIS!!!

miles of machines was one of my favorite songs of all time, i thought i would never get the chance to see this in video ever
Jeff is one of the best absolutly, seriously.
Thanks for exist ❤
Melted the strings !! Literally 🔥
Damn, that tone is just boss!!
I AM a serios guitar playera anda a Big fan of Loomis ,i love people play this way dedication of guitar
Awesome speed passages.
Speechless! 😮
Que maestro!!!!! se cortó la cuerda y aun asi con guitarra desafinada resolvió excelentemente!
Holy s**t! Jeff kicks serious a**! This is how we should shred like this 👏.
Legend has it that after Jeff Loomis Popped a String he Ripped a hole in the Space-Time Continuum!lol
#BUFFALO

Unreal video thanks for sharing !
Loomis kicks ass!
I like his music , i love fast melodies
Мощно👍
this was so clean that it disinfected my room
Cool to see another angle to this song. Thanks for posting. much better view of his fingers.
Believe it or not : i came there long long before the performance to get the best place. So long before that i really saw dinosaurs and talked to them. (They were really nice and played heavy metal @Heavysaurus #heavysaurus)
Thank you for your kindness! I'm glad ziu like it :)
@@Stevin13 Haha you are a prehistoric hero for us all. 👍
Maestro do not freaking out in any cases amazing
I can hear the Becker in all of this soloing, fucking legendary!
That whole album is fun to play and sounds so killer. Glad to see Jeff dusting off some of his solo stuff here lately for us.
Such a happy guy!

Love Jeff, wish he was in a band I was into. Love how well he uses his pinky as silly as that sounds.
Wowee!
Idk if it's me. I like his tone better with the schecter guitars... I know that it's influenced by his playing but the schecter guitar had more that rounded sound and raw power.
It was probably that amp he was using for the clinic. Wasn't his usual ENGL Fireball.
How the f*** is this humanly possible??!! I mean...those insane arrrgghpeggios!!
Bravooo!
Genius
Hello brother you the best I love you ❤️
Wish I was there 😪
I like it
I wish they made a 6 string version of this guitar. Excellent shredding as always 🤘
Get an 8-string
They do
@@therealalexmullins I thought the six string was just the Kelly body shape.
I wish they made a 7 string version of his Kelly.
Crazy multi-solo
Entspannend.
Why isn't it possible for floyd rose trem systems to improve those brackets that clamp the strings? It's always at this spot where the strings say bye
New video from my idol "Jeff Loomis"!!
Holy shit. I can shred quite well but this is amazing. Makes me want to get better.
You just need steadily disciplined hard practise for 10 ours a days for few years to be clean like this constant for a long time
beast jeff!!!!!!!
Great Jason Becker riffs!
The Jackson can now rest in peace.
Scary stuff period
👍👌
Eeeeexit liiiiight
god
That little e just couldn't take the wild bends along with the tremolo any longer. It was holding on for its dear life for over 5 minutes. Poor thing
great
Masih di bawah firman al hakim lampung
Jeff is looking ripped these days
Ich frage mich, wenn seine Haare in die Saiten kommen und sich umwickeln um die Saiten, schneidet er die Haare ab oder die Saite durch? Das hätte ich gerne mal gewußt....
THE STRING BROKE AND HE KEPT SOLOING
His hands make a 7 string look like a broomstick. Also, the nerve playing this stuff without giant reverb and delay to hide slop.
Jeff loomis should play together with mick thomson
dont forget to practice your 16th note triplets kids!
free jeff loomis from arch enemy
I second that!
im just a new fan of arch enemy .about 4 years i think ? and this sounds way waaaay more badass than what AE sounds now .they sound too generic nowadays .border line boring and the pattern of song writing seems off ..i know that michael ammot is also good ( back then ) but just let this man do his thing on the song writing part .sorry for my bad english

Cacophony?
wowwwwwwwwwwwww
OMG 🤭
Este brother esta bien crazy jjejej

Seeing Jeff with a goatie is weird. He's always been almost womanly smooth
towards the end string got broken 😮
Just say hello, Yngvie))
What mode is he using?
Jeff looks like dave mustaine
One string less. We need a Schecter guitar now!!
Intersting , Sounds better when you play in the Schecter
Lots of jason becker licks
Yes, that's what i thought
5:03 lol
Screw that first string he don't need it!!!
He is not a "shredder". He is a genious MUSICIAN and a real hard worker.
And a shredder.
Buenisimo guitarrista junto a Arch enemy

Using that pick up to that parts you said makes more easier to play it
Maybe he likes the slicing tone of the bridge pup. I do, I only use the neck sometimes if that "chirp" on the high E is really annoying me.
👀
String.......
Brocken😱
Jeff licks and adeas... yngwie problems
So i think we have the new aproach notes and 7M 8J Harmonic minor 😯😒😞😠😠😳 fuckin splain... vinnie, jason
Huh?

@@SoaresSantosWashington huh?
@@GeorgeZimmermen whats happen... what you want with thats HUH? Whats mean?
git
Serious case of abuse on those strings ‼️‼️🤣😄😂🤘
Poor string could not handle the presure.
The inhuman guitarist
He's fast, strong, good licks and much more but no feel at all!! I know a lot of people will be mad but this is what i think🤷♂️
must be disgusting for him play this jackson instead of his schecter
It’s one of the most comfortable guitars I’ve ever played. I’m sure it’s even better for him because the neck was sanded to his preference
why? the neck of an jackson is way faster and i prefer the overall feeling to play a Jackson... doesn`t like thoose thick necks of an Shecter
You know that's his signature Jackson, right? It was made with the specs of his liking. I'm sure he loved playing it just as much as his old Schecters. Personally, I've never been a fan of Schecter. The necks on Jacksons are much smoother and faster, imo.
Better than Joe Satriani. Incredible.
Schecter was better Jeff 😅
Just playing some scales. The technique is on top, but there is no soul in the music.
As if in an exam, he plays a pre-assigned part.
Muita fritação, zero melodia...
Aí é o que entende kkkk
you never heard michael angelo batio or eddy van halen..this guitarrist is a dwarf compared to mab or evh
