Jeff Loomis (Nevermore) Clinic - NAMM 2008 (1/2)

[@Deablos]

This can never be said enough: Jeff Loomis is a badass.

[@WHOAguitarninja]

That's the chorus riff for "Born", and yes, it's one of the greatest chorus's and riff's ever written. It's also quite challenging and fun to play. I like how they start cheering at the diminished arrpegios at the end of the Born solo. That part is almost impossible but he makes it look easy here.

[@jarlaxe95]

It's not just the playing but the attitude while shredding so tastily. Jeff's the man

[@vidmohit4684]

This was the video where I first found out about him. My jaw dropped to the floor.. I was like how the heck did I not know about this guy!? Amazing musician.

[@kungfuman82]

What I like the most about Jeff Loomis is that he's not afraid to do what a lot of guitar snobs would consider "amateur", like using open strings in the tapping riff at 1:16. He doesn't let the fact that he's a skilled guitarist get in the way of exploring all of the possibilities with the guitar.

[@bensayshi]

the guy at the very end of the video "WE'RE NOT WORTHY!"

[@pzdipuing]

M sure it's you

[@remibergeron4505]

I litteraly laugh out loud hearing it!! Hahahaha

[@Despond]

Ah excellent. I love how he goes through heaps of solos one after the other. Great clip, you can tell those in the crowd are enjoying it.

[@ncskasweet6]

loomis' chops are not even human. this guy is still so young and is so ahead of his years...

[@phate161]

Shit, time to go listen to every Nevermore song

[@LHondrums]

wow! what a solo medley!! 0:21 final product 1:16 the river dragon has come 2:17 born 3:50 this godless endeavor

[@CosmicPotato]

One of the best metal guitarists out there. This guy can't get enough credit. Extremely creative and talented.

[@guitar4evr30]

I love the agression and intensity with which he plays his riffs. One of the best metal players out there

[@TheUltim8Apocalypse]

I will never underestimate anyone I see with a Visitor's pass at NAMM after seeing this.

[@Venomenn]

The thing that plays at 2.32 is insane. My ears are in love!!

[@KingOfTheRoad-n4j]

That's why this guy is my favorite guitarist!!!!! He is making that solos look easy.

[@dddddddddie]

CANT WAIT TO SEE NEVERMORE!!!!

[@plaguex1]

God I wanna see him play so BADDDdddd. Jeff is awesome.

[@tylerdees4850]

Jeff is out of this world amazing. And the nicest guy.

[@DemonBird]

all i got to say is holy shit! some of the coolest and most skilful playing ive seen in a while. a joy to watch

[@VincentFink]

one of the greatest shredders in one of the greatest bands

[@dmguitarist99]

one of the most underrated guitarists ever period

[@DemonBird]

you make a really good point here mate. It's like he doesn't feel the need to have to show off constantly, he's just all about making music

[@corbtastrophe1901]

Wow! i love jeff. can't wait till his cd comes out sept. 30th every solo was perfect!

[@MetalChild96]

the sweeps from this godless endeavor are really sick! love 'em!

[@encguitarist]

jeff has changed the way i play diminished arpeggios. he really tests them to the extreme. his arpeggio use is very innovative like that of jason becker.

[@joelhartley5108]

Jeff is amazing 🤘

[@trainzeiro]

How come it is possible to someone dislike this guy playing guitar?

[@camer138]

fucking amazing... i love at the end "were not worthy!!" jeff loomis is definately my hero

[@DrHeadification]

with jeff loomis of NEVERMORE!!!!!

[@drhenkz]

Oh my god. He plays so flawlessly.

[@myfairvanity]

i didn't listen to metal for like 7 years, then i heard loomis' solo album. thank god he's making another one. i don't know what else to listen to. wouldn't mind if he broadened his genre though. He's obviously capable of it, but that's just me, whatever caulks your wagon.

[@TimeLordGuitar]

Jeff is awesome...he has all the major bases covered which is quite rare...rhythm,lead,melody,phrasing and composition. Many guys can "shred" old Yngwie licks faster than Yngwie himself but they can't play rhythm guitar and/or write a decent riff to save their lives. Jeff is an exception...he is raising the bar for metal players in a positive way.

[@savagesanity]

Jeff Loomis has such an awesome playing style. He's definitely one of the best players in metal these days.

[@dyingwishGR]

JUST AMAZING!!!!

[@valorsa123]

Agreed. Jeff Loomis is the best. No question, he can write really fuckin well and can widdle just as good or even better than everyone else.

[@btlalor]

incredible, loomis has such a unique dark evil style and i love it

[@TobyKBTY]

amazing guitarist from an awesome band./...

[@italian316]

jeff loomis in my eyes The best guitar player in my world.

[@blackblurable]

@HeavyMetalVagabond I'm glad you liked Timewarp. Over the Mountains always melts my face though and soulmates is a super slick song with excellent phrasing and awesome choice of notes

[@jszekerj]

I feel priviledged that Jeff is allowing me :D

[@SaintAdrius]

Damn!!! This guy's sooo talented...why the hell is he so under rated?

[@kyral210]

Awesome song!!!

[@YavruuKurt]

only one word: excellent!

[@ihateguitarsnot]

that's the chorus of Born! and it's just amazing!

[@berto_the_n0ne]

ive seen him play it live perfectly...

[@fuelinject]

hes an unleashed beast noone can subdue

[@someguy9897]

Fantastic guitarist

[@7metalzone7]

just pure awsomeness

[@semaj2263]

one word. BEAST!

[@ChristophMikael]

Jeff Loomis is the man.

[@liveapostasy88]

Jeff Loomis is insane each of his fingers has a mind of its own. Cant wait for Wacken Open Air 09

[@Abslein]

Just great playing and such an nice ear for melody! I myself play the guitar in a metal band, doing ok, but not near this godlike skills.. If i ever becomes realy great at the guiter i would play solos like this.. actually the soll at the end is one of my favourites when i want to pick out the greates solos for newbies or just some one who hasn´t heard Nevermore before.. simply amazing.. sorry for the bad spelling guys

[@651Tom]

Hahaha! One of the best comments on KZbin right there my friend! On another note, Loomis' technique is incredible, how does he manage to pick/tap/sweep etc. with so much precision. Amazing.

[@RicardoFaundez]

children... don't try to do this without supervision of a good guitar teacher... if you do on your own... press 91... after one minute playin' like him you'll be able to press just 1... IMPRESIVE TECHNIC... just amazing.

[@cyphdrumbum]

Jeef Loomis is ,with NO dought,a brise of fresh air on the "new" guitar players.This guy is a fuckin'animal!Very good taste on is criations,technicaly amazing and very humble!Cheers for Jeef Loomis!

[@arfoe]

this guy is the only guy left in metal besides paul gilbert that can still come up with fresh original stuff.

[@jolly73]

Jeff is so underratted.

[@mg_williams]

Jeff is a Hero!!!

[@FlavioDrums]

From 196s to 229s is just godlike skills!!!

[@aznkriss133]

love his shred... and his hair

[@mattcommnet]

sure hope he's at NAMM 2009 i'll be there rocking out

[@7stringdragon]

These 4 songs he plays are probably Nevermore's best solos merged into 1

[@MarkWalkerMusic]

Amazing! This guy must have been shredding right out of the womb.

[@trujilakos]

jeff is the perfect guitar machine!!!!!I'm so jealous and so proud of him,haha!!!!!

[@73hNils]

That was sick. Thanks!

[@NateMchaggis]

this guy is fucking awesome first time ive heard him im gonna have to check this band out

[@sweepstrat]

Jeff is SO underrated. Many of you say oh his high gain is covering up his mistakes/sloppiness, not true. He uses high gain to get the low a/b string to be heard and besides metl NEEDS high gain. And Jeffs' stuff is some of the most inspirational. If you want to hear him at his best just wait 'til his solo album comes out.

[@mybodyisacanvas]

Speachless.....

[@metal1510657]

i swear before i die i will learn all of his songs

[@VenomK3KW]

The last one was the best. The solo for This Godless Endeavor is amazing, probably one of his best, if not his best.

[@inquisidordelarealidad681]

Impresionante y Motivador!!!! Dios Jeff Loomis Alabado seas!!!!

[@NaranjoDeChilla]

60fps is not enough

[@EdgeOfEnding]

It's born from their latest album, this godless endeavor

[@ilivill]

LEGEND!

[@DeliciousVicious777]

His guitar is a signature 7 string Schecter based off the Hellraiser. The back of the neck matches the body in finish.

[@Razrback]

Jeff is a guitar God for sure

[@nut33620]

Amazing

[@kostas2419]

why is he not marked as the best guitar player in the world? jeff is the top

[@edmega332]

It's a shame him and Chris Broderick aren't playing with eachother anymore. It's an even bigger shame they never recorded an album with eachother. That would've been LEGENDARY!!

[@sagemie]

The best Neo-classical metal guitarists ever

[@Calrazor69]

Jeff you've got fucking amazing shredding soul. Most shredders these days don't have soul. You are the man!!!!!!

[@angelodeath99]

The final comment "we're not worthy" has never rung so true.

[@VenomK3KW]

Dude, you rock. I would KILL for one of Loomis' picks, especially if it's still warm from the guitarwork.

[@berto_the_n0ne]

hell yeah final product is kickass!! well they all are but for some reason ive been digging that solo a lot lately.

[@fargenvonwitbier]

There's not too may REAL guitar heroes out there. But this dude.....is more than that.

[@ChanceSteward]

very nice list my friend

[@llanafreak44]

His right hand technique is amazing

[@SingaSon]

5:26 insane sweep picking... This guy is awsome and in the intro makes an insane tapping too

[@Omerta699]

Loomis=Amazing

[@InnovathrowerSauce]

Thanks man!

[@jolly73]

To dam good!!

[@hugo3697]

awesome!!!!

[@thralldeathh]

i just got a loomis signature!!! its soooo sick

[@punkdude543]

i think jeff has now moved to my favorite guitarist. i need to pick up his solo album.

[@plaguex1]

God Jeff is awesome. Freakin love him man, he plays Schecters just like me. :)

[@thewererabbit]

jeff loomis = the man

[@AlexandreAlagoa]

my hero

[@VilleVonFastFingers]

yeah. i was saying that the born solo that was in here was at toward the end of the actually track of born

[@ArmandoPuenteJr]

@roccoparviz Good luck finding a guy who can compose music like this. It's not just about having the ability to play it, it's about having the talent to write it as well.

[@mattcommnet]

we certainly aren't worthy... amazing
