The entire Jeff Loomis guitar clinic at Allans Billy Hyde, 27/09/12. Jeff was amazing. Special thanks to my bro who recorded it and also won the guitar raffle. Enjoy!

This guy is seriously the consummate professional; not only a brilliant guitar player, but such a nice and humble guy who treats his fans so well. Love you Jeff!

[@leftadrift3920]

Yea ...Jeff is one of a kind, he has a great sense of melody in any project he's involved. Those songs have great structure.

[@BobbyBeckum-js9cs]

Shouting fire

[@martonkuklis408]

I have never seen/heard such a great guitarist like Jeff Loomis who performs his songs so perfectly like the studio record. I'd like to see him with Andy James on stage!!

[@metallicaspiker16]

Ok, the dude is a BADASS guitar player, he basically did everything on his solo albums, he plays piano, and now he can growl? I'm done.

[@danielpaquet3963]

his work on Nevermore and Arch Enemy is unbelievable

[@Bricklinsv1970]

Hung out with Jeff so mellow and down to earth. Would love to just sit and watch him writing music and just noodling aimlessly I bet it mind blowing!

[@DirtyHarry771]

I love the attitude and attack of his playing. Amazing!!!!

[@AirGuitar]

JEFF IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!! HE'S AMAZING!

[@behemothokun]

thank you for uploading this! He pretty much says what I often see on youtube. Young guitarists who practice so hard to get some tight fast picking and sweep techniques and everything but kinda skipped the basic stuff like vibrato and bending technique. So kids, don't forget your vibrato technique, it's ultimately the most important solo technique.

[@saikathbose8120]

U gotta love the guy! Not only is he an amazing guitar player but also the way he answers questions. .

[@RobOsman87]

Started watching this and couldn't stop. Amazing how modest and down to earth he is despite his epic talent.

[@mrchow5047]

what wholesome and talented man, you can easily tell he is really passionate about the instrument.

[@jasonjasniewski5925]

WTF planet does this guy come from? Jeff Loomis is so fun to listen to. Even though he comes from the same sweeping "harmonic minor camp" that Yngwie does I still find Loomis much more interesting to listen to. I like Yngwie but find that you can take a solo out of one song and drop it into another song and it's hard to tell the difference much the way EVHs solos are interchangeable.

[@NavidKhan84]

its his vibrato...freakin brilliant

[@CrackaDon1]

YNGWIES GODSTEEN

[@yazeedyasser7618]

Give this man a cookie

[@UdaraGamage]

these 51 minutes of my life is worth living for ages to come.

[@williammorris7895]

Jeff is a truly amazing player and very down-to-earth. Credit where it's due also, this was a great crowd. They were very respectful, they listened, and they asked some great questions.

[@mpmp5111]

i met him backstage in 2012 during the last tour with nevermore, they toured with symphony x ,this man is just respectfull so gentle and kind, as mickael romeo was too, one of my best meeting with a guitar's god

[@dedeklordworm6489]

Loomis... One of my favorite guitar hero.. godspeed 🙏🙏🙏

[@leandrovila5748]

He looks like a real nice guy. If I played as him, I would be happy man as well , instead of a frustrated guitar player. Same as P Gilbert, both great player and the coolest guys around!

[@edkar3472]

I love the minor scales and sweeps. My favorite.

[@darwinbocalbos]

Thanks for sharing this. Awesome!!!

[@CristianoTonelFetter]

It's awesome that we have a great super talented shereder like Jeff today, following the steps of the great Jason becker but with his own personality.

[@DalvaWolf]

The man is coming to my country (peru) in a few days I've already got my ticket!

[@Simpaiii]

[@mrollg]

Best 51 minutes ever spent on youtube

[@WilfridRUN]

Thanks very much for this great moment bro'!!!! i'm living reunion island and,i hope one day ,i'll see Jeff before my eyes!!!!

[@bigmattybennett]

He looks like he has so much, I envy the man. And I love him! What a musician :)

[@metalheadjayeff8232]

Sickest modern day guitarist bar none !

[@Cantshred777]

I bought the Engl he used for his Australia clinics. After his last clinic in Cairns it was left at Billy Hyde's for sale. Still got his settings on the dials. Didn't make me play any better though.

[@Nate-qb8ws]

Which amp model was it and can you share the settings? :)

[@tonycahyono7453]

Hey Jeff when you release new album conqueting dystopia coz i'll waiting this album so much

[@BlakeSmashed]

If Jeff Loomis doesn't go down as one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived this world has failed.

[@bradhienzachary]

The Ultimatum, now that tasteful! Lovely arpeggios!

[@TariqRLaamiri]

What a great human being he is .. Thanks for sharing dude.

[@istillsuckatguitar]

Great video. I feel like I am in the front row, but I'm half a world away. Thanks very much for posting.

[@WilfridRUN]

Jeff played the tony macalpine's solo perfectly,into the song: "The ultimatum"!!!!!IT'S UNBELIEVABLE!!!(around 33-34 minutes).he's fucking amazing this guy!!!

[@HastOsth]

Just watched the whole thing through and through and i must say,besides form beeing a musicial genious you really seem like a nice guy! I love all your songs man,keep up the good work!

[@deathfluxofficial9933]

Tis awesome!

[@ryker6richard]

Your on top of the fire dude

[@Elias_mariutti]

Our jeff loomis you play guitar too, you're the best, is very virtuoso guitarist, has a talent and very much wanted you to use that talent offering to God. But I'm your number one fan I really like your style of music. I'm from Brazil really wanted you to come here one day, and you want to see another virtuoso John Petrucci on guitar together.

[@MetalMetz88]

thanks for uploading this, really enjoyable watch.

[@NutsButsMayhem]

Makes selling your soul kinda worth it really

[@AirGuitar]

44:04 my computer glitched up!

[@rogermelly8194]

[@beano1eye]

great player, great person!

[@ashtweth]

Oi fanx 4 the upload buddy

[@bigmac51290]

The part that starts just after 8:20 reminds me of the part in This Godless Endeavor that starts at 7:09.

[@chinmoylahkar6731]

this dude is a guitar god in today's generation. an institution himself.

[@erwinalarcon1355]

Awesome !!!

[@squirlybmx]

Anyone know what he asked at 16:31? I can't make it out exactly but it sounds like something I want

[@samophlangetwo]

It's actually Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb. That is of course if he still uses the same tuning as he did in his Nevermore days.

[@Despond]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck he plays really well here.

[@razzo3456]

Missed this because i went to hervey bay in that week D: But so glad you uploaded man n.n

[@RunawayThumbtack]

He asked "What do you think of the Axe FX and do you use it?"

[@JeffLighttt]

Люблю его!!!!!!!!

[@farisrosni9989]

[@DarshanParajuli]

thanks mucho for uploading this :)

[@rzproject123]

Реально бог своего дела ! Удивительная музыка !

[@MrMusicvideoperson]

Jeff loomis is coming to my town but i cant go because its in a bar, and im too young. Any ways you guys can think of to sneak in?

[@chrisking6695]

I got crushed when he said it takes years to get the vibrato right. I know it's tough and I'm working on it but years? C'mon. For real? I'm 37 and just started out. I'm not 5 anymore. I want it yesterday not in years lol

[@damienhelmold6978]

Should picked up guitar almost 25 years ago dude.

[@jfo3000]

Practice your vibrato everyday. Make a tape with all your favorite player's vibrato and play along with them as a guide. Have a friend with good vibrato critique you. It should only take a few weeks if you do it like this.

[@unholymerlin]

Man, wish I can play guitar atleast 1% like Jeff does.

[@kevinkraft5480]

face.....fucking....melted.

[@FollettoLuk]

What is the name of the last song?

[@othneildrew]

Lukas Folletto Miles of Machine

[@corrupted650]

[@chrisfaust93]

[@chinmoylahkar6731]

After dimebag it's Loomis.

[@Mostunwelcomed]

Facts

[@MirkoLoncar]

What's the name of first song?

[@AkisM]

That's probably due to the fact that the camera was being held from a guy standing in the front row. :P

[@Ardgent]

You can tell Loomis listens to a ton of Vinnie Moore. Even down to how he phrases the speed of bends and uses his Floyd.

[@BELIAL666DEMOGORGON]

FACT:Jeff Loomis tried out for lead guitar during megadeth so far so good so what era but bc he was only 16 dave mustaine turned him down and that's when jeff told marty friedman about the audition..

[@Timmy_1011]

How he tunes his guitar?

[@testinggamesandgameplays]

Very heavy yeah ^^

[@steve1982n]

4:59 That riff is dope

[@donottawaguitar]

nice guitar

[@tdang9528]

I always thought this guy was norwegian

[@thunderkill]

He will do an album with Keith Merrow! Fuck yeah :D

[@razor333sharp]

Wow awesome \m/

[@user-rd5ps8xy8ss]

Wow...

[@crissosborne5971]

His vibrato sounds like a fucking unicorn mating with a panda....so epic.

[@AirGuitar]

i'm trying to envision that in my head and i'm just cracking up haha

[@a601lbcatfish]

Jesus fucking christ that play of Mercurial

[@rohanclassic]

Shouting fire at the funeral. :-)

[@321321Arturo]

5:41 Jeff: " betcha cant play this fu**ers" : D

[@luthiervandros]

6:20 homage to candlemass

[@hatemaker6673]

Seven strings of vampire!

[@dinowhisperer2008]

I'm sure Jeff slays it with the ladies, but let's face it, that guitar has been "pick-up" deep in vojj, it's literally a health hazard. God bless America. Also, I have a hunch Jeff is Dimebags spawn...just a personal thought 0_o

[@AirGuitar]

Thank you! Dime is favorite guitarist followed closely by Jeff. Sweeps sound awesome but Dime proved that you don't need to be amazing at sweeping to sound amazing...his left hand was very strong (used more legato then alt picking everything) and so was his right hand. Both he and Jeff can/could shred insanely well, but i also admire them for their abilities to produce very soulful slow solos. Dime: Cemetery Gates intro solo, The Sleep, Floods, 10s. Jeff: Lachrymose, Destroyer of Dreams outro solo, Nuclear Justice intro solo, Sibylline Origin harmony solo. They are both my two most influential guitarists. I love Dime's ability to improvise and his use of pentatonic but making it more of his own sound (using notes outside of the scale). I love Jeff's ability to improvise and also his scale choices (harmonic minor, diminished, exotic scales; Japanese and Indian). Yeah, that's it...lol

[@bradleyrayson3432]

Dude is so insane,check out his work with Keith Merrow, Love Sibylline Origin and Jato Unit so much man..... FUCKING shit Lucifer could not even keep him in his band, some men were black smiths, Loomis is a Lick Smith, he forges them from wood. Riff Raff MCGEE

[@eRrePeGebajopre]

dat guitar

[@jf160297]

Fly in from a helicopter, parachute down on top of the roof. Go inside air vent. Crawl your way through into the toilets. Come out when toilets are empty. Shake off at the urinal and casually walk out the door into the bar.
