Jeff with a scalloped strat is something i never expected to see tbh. I like it!

[@ohayoueveryone7954]

It would be even weirder if he comes with non scallop strat

[@gregorp8406]

It wasn't scalloped from factory.. He scalloped it himself.. by shredding!

[@Anton_the_Vampire]

That's a Malmsteen signature strat, unless I miss my guess.

[@remnant24]

Yngwie's signature is literally visible on the headstock.

[@Cheeseboiga]

@@Anton_the_Vampire definitely Malmsteen's, the nut is brass

[@23darknexx]

Jeff Loomis is more than a person. He’s a revolutionized style of playing in itself. This pedal is cool too.

[@gregorp8406]

Amen! Exactly! Jeff has redefined what heavy is, what technical is, and most of all what personal songwriting is.. The man besides the obvious is one of the greatest and tightest riffmakers/rhythm guitarists ever !!

[@Hell_Inc]

Dead Heart in a Dead World still is one my favorite albums with some of the coolest guitar work ever

[@marks9197]

Yes. One of Nevermore's best.

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

My first Nevermore album, and probably my favorite.

[@greendragon2471]

Fuckin the river dragon melts faces and heals souls

[@petereime9551]

I couldn’t agree more. Saw Nevermore twice ! Loomis is one of the best ! Needs a new band definitely!

[@felinekaiju4517]

@@greendragon2471 River Dragon was my first Nevermore song. And man, The heart collector!!.

[@tjhooker824]

Oh man does this comment rule

[@WarmthandMischeif]

Best KZbin comment I have ever read

[@WiktorA96]

Every time I see Jeff I cant stop watching him playing. There is something unorthodox in his style and very humble guy.

[@SerhioTKM]

What a solo! Jeff's playing is simply incredible, as always!

[@marks9197]

Thanks Jeff, for showing Yngwie how to play his own signature model Strat. Bwaaahh!!!

[@VomVomar]

Actually it's not a malmsteen model but a strat assembled by Jeff in person... Not every scalloped instrument is a malmsteen signature...

[@marks9197]

@@VomVomar if you can, zoom in on the headstock. I swear that's Yngwie's signature on the front. And you're right, not all scalloped neck guitars are Yngwie signature strats.

[@Sunedosa]

@@marks9197You're correct: It is a malmsteen model, his signature, brass nut and the larger headstock gives it away.

[@Brimen03]

Fuck... such an amazing solo!!!! Loomis perfect and clean as usual.

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

dude rules

[@mishasuh8838]

What a solo!! Lots of Malmsteen, Becker and Friedman.. it is definitely the mighty jeff loomis!

[@SilentMoriah]

That tune is absolutely killer!

[@omgwasgeht]

i want that song on spotify, now! great playing, great pedal

[@KevinFlynn1967]

I had the pleasure to sit down and talk to Jeff before a show back in 1999. What a great dude! Very humble and an amazing guitarist. Thank you Jeff for everything you do for the music world.

[@fxexpert4541]

You cant deny how good that fender sounds.

[@jefftrvecvlt1819]

Is arch enemy ever gonna let him write? This destroys anything arch enemy has every done lol

[@JZ1917]

I could not agree more.

[@kevinmckeon2543]

For guitar players yeah, but for pulling in a crowd and getting paid it's the Arch Enemy songs all day.

[@petermuller161]

Sometimes the job of a musician is to be a supporting member and do their best to make the music sound awesome. Jeff has an incredible catalogue of work to his name as it is. I'd bet he's quite happy to show up and execute and perform as a non founding member! It's a sick gig really!

[@douglasmoore8033]

@@petermuller161 very well put! I think Mr. Loomis would agree.

[@chrisking6695]

Of course it would destroy it bc it wouldn't be true to arch enemy's legacy anymore. And that's not a good to bad thing. It just is. I think arch enemy sounds good. They have their thing going. Why change it? It's not Jeff Loomis it's arch enemy.

[@shannonjennings1454]

And this is a perfect example of why I love Jeff Loomis!!! My Lord what a guitarist!!! Definitely been my favorite guitarist for a while now and he just keeps getting better. Come on Jeff, release that long awaited solo album!!! Please!!!

[@brianrollins7275]

The player matches the pedal perfectly here, they’re both pretty awesome. 🔥

[@bojangles4704]

I am dying for vintage Jeff Loomis, I understand Arch Enemy pays the bills I can't fault the guy, he should of been ten times more famous than he is and if he's finally getting some mores spotlight good for him. I'm still waiting on The Ultimatum 2.0, Jeff I know you are reading this comment and I am not playing around.

[@GreekkAlex]

Jeff's cool! intelligent man, avoids any dirty words, and amasing guitar player!!! i adore him!

[@jonbuckley]

Just ridiculous! I look forward to some new solo stuff.

[@LorcanWard]

Jeff you beast!

[@zcustomcarnesi]

Very intense guitarist , one of the best

[@mrmisterman999]

loomis is a beast. Anyone that can play perpetual burn note for note has my respect

[@louiejones4092]

Jeff Loomis is amazing

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

true. Thanks for watching!

[@TheJMan1K]

That solo was godly

[@TheBadSpoon]

Sometimes after not watching Jeff for a while, you forget what he's capable of, and your jaw hits the floor once again.

[@sundeflector2402]

Hii this is Jeff loomis, the father of shred and i am living in form of human being with you all guys on earth. Man, no matter what, I have and will always worship Jeff loomis. He sounds exactly what my ears crave to hear. Wish could play even half the notes he plays, in my lifetime.

[@mooferoo]

I'd love it if Jeff had a youtube channel. I'm not even into lead playing in general yet i love his stuff. Also, that wall of amps behind him is godlike.

[@purplehaze9154]

Damn Jeff looks great with a Strat!

[@Mainelyoffgrid]

Hi my name is Jeff Loomis I've been playing guitar for 38 Years old and I'm only 21. Guy never ages. Such talent. 🤘🤘🤘

[@greendragon2471]

definitely going to get one! :) and jeff is a monster of a guitarist!

Finally someone demoing the pedal that does it justice! To be fair though, Jeff could plug into a box of fruitloops and sound amazing.

[@alexmarek5410]

Wow, did Jeff write this just like that? This is an incredible piece of music.

[@chuckkirby4197]

100% agree with Claudio. Been saying it since he joined that band. This man can incinerate a fretboard and should be doing it as a solo artist so his fans can be happy. Arch Enemy is an anchor around his neck.

[@Chimairakid21]

See a prs mt15 in the back. Beast of amp that one

[@ricardojose5333]

Perfect!!!

[@eliebertderon]

Jeff 😍😍😍😍

[@imageofchaos]

Such a phenomenal guitarist. I remember my introduction to Nevermore back in the late 90’s with the Seven Tongues of God. I was blown away! The man is a legend and Michael Amott needs to let him in on the Arch Enemy writing if he wants to take the band to the next level.

[@headkickko609]

Would you like to have the riffs you are about to play, to be written by Loomis?

[@imageofchaos]

Michael Amott is better than modern Arch Enemy. The first few Arch Enemy albums are proof of that. They just need to spend some time riffing and writing together and I bet they could come up with some great stuff that would really breathe some new life into the band.

[@FuzzImp]

It’s one of the most perfect pedals ever.l

[@EarthQuakerDevices]

glad you think so . thanks

[@langsfordmusicltd283]

yeah...exactly what I was thinking

[@Niki_B_Lee]

One of my students brought this Earthquaker to check out after he met The Mighty Mick Thompson of Slipknot..who suggested to try it as this is what Mick uses live.. I fell in love with the sound.. I'm not a big overdrive pedal player but this is much more versatile Oh yeah Jeff Loomis is one of the most underrated musicians RnR
