Jeff Loomis: "Shooting Fire at a Funeral" Guitar Lesson

[@s0ulfire]

Omg I love this guy. Easily in the top 5 metal guitarists of all time!

[@MireWolf29]

I love Jeff Loomis. He's one of my favorite guitarists alive. I love the way he makes his riffs and melodies have so much life and atmosphere. Zero Order Phase is an amazing album. Go pick it up if you haven't yet. Also, -1 to Guitar World for messing up the title of the song in the vid title and description.

[@skatefallen15]

can't say I've ever really listened to Nevermore, but this was sick

[@weissgyz]

I really like this riff a lot.

[@AntaresX9]

Thanks Jeff for showing this great riff. Wasn't very hard to learn took me a few minutes to get the hang of it. And for the rest of the song :D

[@MistahhB]

Most epic song title of all time.

[@twistswitch]

This guy is so fucking good. You gotta check out his CD, there are so many wicked licks going on!

[@SantomPh]

there's another video here on KZbin where Jeff is showing some German fans his half-step down signature guitar. It's Bb,Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb and Eb.

[@xboxnissan]

@smacman68 Jeff Loomis, Jeff Loomis rocks. It's not a nevermore song but Jeff Loomis's first song on his EP.

[@smacman68]

Badass. I actually like it slowed down. Not quite as slow as he goes, but I can imagine a Black Sabbath type riff using the same notes. Nevermore fucking rocks.

[@edward892]

Brutal!

[@fredthebluetakman]

Duude sweet thanks! =D

[@edoardomolinu397]

I

[@Boosty_Boost]

Haha! I allready have this DVD! =P I allready know this lick! =D So cool.. haha..

[@x0XCruSaDerX0x]

@IloveRillettes sure, sometime. I already held this piece of heaven in my hands, absolutely awesome! schecter does a great job, not only with loomis' signature, i like the brand ;)

[@TheMetallkylling]

i like it, sounds interesting...

[@Darkserpentes]

@dimeowns100 He uses a seven string with all strings tuned down 1/2 step i think. So it is Bb Eb Ab Dd Gb Bb Eb

[@fredthebluetakman]

Does anyone know the song at the start?? =)

[@JadeIsBunny]

Somehow I find "shooting fire" pretty amusing. Like "fuck you, I'm a wizard".

[@mee887]

nice guitar

[@megabassmasta]

What happened with the official website of nevermore?

[@Ithyphallics]

His tone is perfect.....along with his playing lol.

[@SantomPh]

it's half step down, he says so on the DVD itself and demonstrates.

[@rippinkorpse]

doesnt he look the Irate gamer? Man, this guy is fucking sick!

[@dimeowns100]

What tuning is this song in?

[@mastodon1314]

@CurtisRoxAtGuitar it is

[@BartvanOort1995]

@x0XCruSaDerX0x Lolz, I grabbed my guitar and just played the riff as he does it on the 5th and 3rd string... The fuck do I know if Drop C is good for that, but hey, at least it sounds cool xD

[@youdamanyoudaman]

i figured out how to play this on a 6 string its harder than the 7 string way of doing it but it sounds better than copying what he dose on a six string

[@DeathMetalMikey]

@Hellonfrets it's a 7 string but probably B/E/A/D/G/B/e

[@xiPickz]

It says shouting in the video, but the title's wrong.

[@TransylvanianWinter]

The title may be "Shouting Fire at a Funeral," but I find "Shooting Fire at a Funeral" very......interesting nonetheless lol

[@kitsune10000]

@SearchInSun Just tune your guitar to the tuning of the song...but then you should set up your guitar and probably get some heavy guage strings

[@megaluisdeth]

Man I wish I had a 7 string to learn Songs for Zero Order Phase! =(

[@CaseyGarnerPDX]

shooting fire would be fucking metal too!!!!

[@Eturnal718]

@fredthebluetakman Jeff Loomis - Jato Unit

[@RevisedTV]

the video title says shooting fire at a funeral, but when the vidoe starts it syas shouting fire ata funeral. Title fail

[@septimusdsx]

Don't really like the tone, but damn the riff is heavy as hell. Kick ass!

[@Shyuum]

@flamen89 Muse sounds like Jeff ;)

[@DanThornton01]

A Cheryl cole advert on a Jeff Loomis video? what the fuck is wrong with KZbin?

[@SeventySevenScars]

sounds mad

[@themodernguitarist]

He's probably using a Engl SE 670.

[@jneild93]

well done, someone knows there octave shapes!

[@x0XCruSaDerX0x]

I grabbed my guitar, switched the amp on, took the pick and I was about to start playing before I realised that my guitar had only 6 strings...SHIT >-<

[@funnyguy1321]

Don't count a beat if you can't keep it constant.

[@didgeman987]

sounds fairly similar to map of the problematique.. but kickass band

[@youdamanyoudaman]

it works on a six string just use the 4th and 6th strings starting on the 7th fret turn to drop c for the best sound dont do it in d you can but it wont sound as cool

[@XavSch]

little notes away from "come to life" by alter bridge lol

[@Logstudent1988]

this dude he just make riffs the way i wanna hear it... it's angry.. annnnnnnnnngggggggryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy riffs. and some pride stuffed inside.

[@GlockenspielSAS]

This riff can be played on a 6 string:P

[@luizpaludetto]

dontfearthesweeper : yes, is

[@CreeCore94]

nevermore pwns

[@flamen89]

cool lick, actually sounds kinda muse-ish imo

[@IloveRillettes]

@x0XCruSaDerX0x Dude, save money and buy the Schecter Loomis Signature. It worth 1000$. Ten times.

[@RevisedTV]

@Altered6Chicken whxih is y im a les

[@suihkubad]

Then you have not been listening to jazz alot. And the point is not guitar playing. It's the notes, not the instrumen they are played with.

[@PaulOuzounov]

An ENGL.

[@xxmcpxx]

@H3lloSE ne

[@weissgyz]

TUNING, ANYONE?!

[@c0p13dn4m3]

I thought I was the one with the fucked up file name.

[@Mrshreadies]

id like to see jeff loomis mess up on guitar........ but i think its nearly impossible

[@treykilgoreiscool]

i hate those spikey parts in the bottom of the banana. i think that makes bananas the deadliest fruit in the world

[@mikemassimi]

HATERS 'R U

[@anamethat]

Let's see some IMPRESSIVE Rhythm sections now, instead of just a sweep-tapping driven solo and mediocre Rhythm parts.

[@secretconstantine]

@x0XCruSaDerX0x sucks huh? >.<

[@xxmcpxx]

whuat the hell ar u think u are talking to ?!

[@dimgrav]

@simpsons2170 There are two things that one can't deny about Loomis, (a) he is TOO fast (b) his riffs have a heavy overtaking atmosphere, definitely nothing similar to 80s hair metal, so please, stop embarassing yourself and speak with some arguments instead of meaningless irony.

[@taj334]

Lolz guitarworld failed at the title.

[@NielsBeier]

Nevermore is so not Hair Metal; Motley Crue, Poisen etc though, that''s hair metal. - And besides Jazz, there's not many guitar parts that's cool; Jazz, Blues and Metal -imo all other is just plain boring

[@MNmetalhead]

sweet song and great playing but that tone is garbage compared to his actual tone!

[@TrippyTheShroom]

Ginger...he has no soul

[@MrPikhoofd123]

raw haring sucks
