Jackson began back in the late 1970s, when heavy music experienced a flamboyant and virtuosic resurgence in popularity and a small Southern California guitar repair shop became the epicenter of a new level of shred-approved excellence. Ever since then, Jackson guitars have been universally lauded as the metal guitars; the shred machines-highly original high-performance instruments of distinctive style and formidable substance. From metal’s chart-topping peaks to its darkest recesses, for discerning guitarists all over the globe, Jackson is the only way to go.

[@leftadrift3920]

the living legend himself, Mr Jeff Loomis! (Nevermore, Arch Enemy, Conquering Dystopia)

[@ericedmunds9488]

Definitely one of the best metal guitarists ever!

[@Mofos_of_Metal]

Conquering Dystopia lives on... a decade later and I still spin that awesome album! Nevermore are one of my all-time favourite bands too. I hope we get more original music from Jeff in future - he is an outstanding creative artist and while I do appreciate his role in Arch Enemy - his greatest gift is in composing original material as opposed to being just a hired shredder.

[@viking_sith_lord]

THIS \m/

[@EL_DUDERIN0]

Is there anyone else that owns both riffs and solos as much as Jeff Loomis. Both ends of his playing are so tight.

[@andounis]

I think that Wes Hauch is equally top-notch!! Check him out if you haven't 🙂 (Alluvial)

[@supermastater]

Dimebag comes to mind even sooner that Jeff

[@fishguru73]

@@andounis If Jeff did a collab with Wes it would be monstrous.

[@xttocx]

Turbo valid thought

[@andreiserna9166]

We need another conquering dystopia album! 🥵

[@shaharbar]

Another Nevermore would be better…

[@mammothaudioengineering]

@@shaharbar might as well ask for the impossible.

[@TheBadSpoon]

@@shaharbar I'd love new Nevermore, but lyrically, replacing Warrel Dane would be like replacing Trevor Strnad. Plus, Warrel had an amazing voice. RIP

[@TheBadSpoon]

By the way, I'm pretty sure we are getting another Conquering Dystopia album. I remember posts from Keith saying that it was being worked on, and he and Jeff are still friends, it's just taking a really long time. Jeff and Keith both got tied up with other projects and bands.

[@emt5330]

Well, now that Jeff is out of Arch Enemy and has some extra time on his hands...

[@michaelford4360]

Jeff you need to start your own band ! I miss the nevermore days. Would love to see you start something new ! So much talent ! Incredible like always !

[@DavidIkuori]

Check conquering distopia🤟🏼

[@brooksonly7337]

There are 4 guitarists i always go to when it comes to shredding but is always clear as to hear every note. Vito bratta, yngwie, reb beach and jeff loomis. Love them all.

[@Giomalmsteen]

I was lucky enough to see conquering dystopia live. I would love too see Chris Broderick and Jeff do a couple songs together for old times sake

[@tylerdombrowski6847]

Jeff Loomis is the final boss of metal guitar. Truly the GOAT

He is the hardest boss difficulty. Tightness overload.

Undo it

[@ScottD44]

Agreed My Brother 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@DivinityDown]

Sometimes I forget just how great a musician Jeff is. Always a pleasure to watch him play. Would love to see you work with Wes Hauch, think you guys would make some sick tunes.

[@danomnihility2453]

Jeff made the coolest 7 string you can buy

[@andrewmalek55]

I love my JL7!!!

[@Shawner1000]

Is it weird that i like Lommis mostly for his Rhythm playing? such a killer riff writer.

[@kiwar193]

Not weird at all, he's a sick riff writer with a great tone to complement it 👌

[@thedudeofficial69]

most of these rhythms are the work of keith merrow if i'm not mistaken

[@kiwar193]

@@thedudeofficial69 no doubt, he's great too. I was more talking about Loomis' career overall here :)

[@thedudeofficial69]

​@@kiwar193 Gotcha, you're right either way lol.

[@Guitarist19887]

Most of my favourite guitarists are riff masters, Josh Middleton being one. So I totally get you.

[@fernandonavarretenavarro9701]

I think we all agree this beast needs to release a new solo album or form a new band under his lead and leads 🔥🙌🏼

[@srcarlosmanuel]

We do need another CD album for sure!!

[@senavicente]

I need more Conquering Dystopia in my life!!!

[@warpgate_x]

The Perfect Jackson guitar doesnt exi....😍

[@bobbyosborne2375]

UNDERATED LEGEND. Jeff's an absolute UNIT. His solo on periphery's racecar is the stuff of legend.

[@JmLethal963]

Always love his Friedman-esque Phrygian (and Dominant variant) runs! So tasteful!

[@fishguru73]

All time top five contender for best instrumental metal album ever. Loomis for the win.

[@ScottD44]

They really need to let him do more in arch enemy so underutilized . We need old heavy arch enemy back and new conquering dystopia

[@lordjau3615]

so mezmerizing to watch him play. the song is an absolut masterpiece. so much talent in one video....i am speechless.

[@lucasmerieri]

Every time I hear this song, I am speechless; you are just pure talent. Thanks for sharing again

[@TheCyberMantis]

I know Arch Enemy is paying the bills... but here's the band I want to see: Jeff Loomis on guitar. Yuja Wang on keyboards. Gene Hoglan on drums. Steve DiGiorgio on bass. Dino Jelusick on vocals. 🤘🏼👽🤘🏼

[@Pentatonic_Hardcore]

very often superbands are sounding like shit, no so well as when everyone is in his specific band. IMHO.

[@TheCyberMantis]

@@Pentatonic_Hardcore Name a superband that sounds like shit. It all comes down to the songwriting.

[@Pentatonic_Hardcore]

@@TheCyberMantis exactly, I meant the material they are producing,

[@bcbitchkkv]

@@TheCyberMantis and with Jeff at the helm (as songwriter) it should be pretty fool proof!

[@GChris-ny8fp]

I see Jeff Loomis, I click Like 👍

[@archersomers]

This guitar is the best purchase i have ever made 🤘 obviously its primarily kept in Bb to jam along with nevermore.

[@chasing_dragons]

That headstock is God like. So cool.

[@martinkingston1498]

Jeff is the type of guitarist who simultaneously inspires AND depresses you, because he is such a talented player. I could only dream of reaching his level of ability. One of THE greatest metal players ever imho, up there with Jeff Waters, Chris Poland and a few others as absolute masters of their craft.

[@sergiynechay6942]

Play every day and you will see the result)

[@ScottD44]

Absolutely CORRECT 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@fishguru73]

@@sergiynechay6942 Not just playing every day but forcing yourself to master techniques and riffs that you struggle with. It's super easy to revert to what you can already do rather than pushing yourself to do an exercise over and over until you can flawlessly pull it off.

[@rm25088]

Jeff has been my favorite guitarist for a long time now. How he remembers this note for note is impressive by itself.

[@kristopherstephen5964]

I find his picking technique is very unique The way he claws the whole pick.

[@dethskullcrusher]

We need PT. 2 of Conquering Dystopia ❤

[@brianbutterworth6107]

The world just wasn't ready for this album when it first came out. I'm not sure the world is ready now. Some of us are still recovering from the shock that came from hearing this album for the first 100 times. I still call it the best instrumental album of all-time....change my mind.

[@awguitarroom8033]

I was literally just blasting this album at work

[@JayRoc17]

TRULY amazing player(pardon me) ARTIST. Top metal guitarist in my book.

[@Obi-WanKannabis]

can't believe it's almost 10 years since that album came out. Feels like it was yesterday

[@christophernaselius6266]

Holy shit he is clean! Can't Imagine much better guitar playing than this, just a walk in the park for him gives him time to be smooth and all haha

[@seba.makron]

Conquering Dystopia -->> LIKE

[@DragonBiscuit]

So sick… Is this some foreshadowing perhaps? Will there be another collaboration with Keith in the future?

[@jackcattoi]

Every fiber in my being hopes you are correct

[@MegaAndyGG]

I wish

[@bcbitchkkv]

At least he's out of mediocre Arch Enemy now, so there should be time! Although I fear an announcement from Megadeth coming soon...

[@MegaAndyGG]

@@bcbitchkkv Is he?! For real?!

[@bcbitchkkv]

@@MegaAndyGG Yeees! But coincidentally, I fear Megadeth could be about to replace Kiko (who's on leave because of family reasons), and might look to Jeff whom Dave already know, and who's just become 'a free agent'. I ofc want Jeff to pay his bills, but I hope we get more than downtuned versions of Megadeth classics in addition to their godawful new material + stiff choreographed lived performances in the coming years... :-/

[@PallesWorld6309]

Tack så J.vla mycket..Took my breath away..Så det skall vara.🙏 From Sweden.☮

[@Blackness28611]

Jeff is the master at metal guitar

[@lassala]

My favorite track off that album! I can't help but hear in my head what Warrel's voice over the chaotic riffery. On another note: I'd love to hear a collab between Jeff and Eloy Casagrande. I need new music from Mr Loomis!

[@torrezani]

he is a Monster

Loomis ripping the 7 string is always a good time. 🎉

Can't leave out Alex Webster!

[@MikeLtm32]

All we need is Jeff Loomis playing more than Nevermore, Conquering Disdophia is not doing the thing anymore...

[@TheBadSpoon]

I think he might have played this cleaner than on the album 🤯

[@dimebrad2760]

I thought the same thing honestly. Jeff is the best.

[@off6848]

The riffing is very The Faceless. Dude can play

[@stickfigure9138]

I have seen many and I mean many great guitarist live. You name it and I have seen them probably. This guy though.. Was probably the cleanest I ever seen when he was in Nevermore. Something about the sound and tone he used that night. Not saying he was the best I ever seen talent wise... Definitely up there at the top, but he was definitely the cleanest sounding.... PROPS TO THE SOUND GUY FOR THAT ONE!!!

[@michaeledmondsonrock]

Jeffs technique is insane.

Please don't @ me. This is what Jeff was made for. He's such an inncredible guitar AND SONG WRITER, I've always felt like he has been held back in Arch Enemy. In my opinion, I think Jeff is up there with Dime, Skolnick, Wilde etc....
