INSPIRE A NEW GENERATION OF CUSTOMERS , Jeff Loomis, Guitarist

[KickflipKickflipx3]

HOLY SH!T GUYZ! look up for JEFF LOOMIS info at WIKI! he plays ALL FOUR INSTRUMENTS! and VOCALS TOO! dam hes so epic

[loki8lelouch7]

Sqisgaar Squigelf...

[6Blu6Storm6]

Ok Dude, but can you play Smoke On The Water?

[TurkeyTuck]

@6Blu6Storm6

Don't talk shit about Smoke On The Water, that song has a groove that Jeff Loomis will never be able to create.

Still, he can shred, but I think there's plenty of other talented guitarists that deserve more credit for their style.

[blackmetalrockdeath]

Jeff is like Kane WWE. lol

[Scracar]

0:33 "Who is pushing theboundrieoftheinstrment... like NEVER Before!!"

[koumatrix]

not impressed... GUS G FTW

[quarzogenify]

@koumatrix erm. no.

[freddy692000]

YEAH Like with that DVD u would be able to play like Jeff!!!

[Sickness796]

this guy should be doing hotdog commercials, i think he would make a living.

[MachineHeadDissent]

Yep....Jeff and Paul Gilbert and Marcel Coenan.....G3 for sure.....

[Incisionator]

@MachineHeadDissent Marcel Coenen is indeed a beast. Seen him live a few times.

[jewelfewel]

its not about how fast you play. its about the sweet, sweet music

[williamindragunawan]

@jewelfewel well wouldn't it be nice and awesome if we can be (or harness the ability of) playing fast while making sweet music? ;)

[JFKaiser]

its a bagel...

[8element]

I love the acting

[jacksonshredder123]

fuck the toaster how much for a jeff loomis?

[motorfuckers666]

jeff loomis is dumb (cant speak, not stupid), poor guy =/

[000metalhead000]

@motorfuckers666 You could also say mute.

[lildude234]

JEFF IS FUCKING EVERYTHING METAL IN THE ASS!!!!!!! :DDDD

[synchroflip123]

lol wow

[SamuelHasBigEars]

He does not talk,he only plays ... he has a sweep that means "wife make me dinner".

[boubito]

LOL Jeff look like a killer with is guitar. But he is funny at 30 secondes XD

He Smiling and..."ohh be serious jeff..be serious!"

[cerelilqt]

Anyone noticed most good guitarists nowadays are in their mid to late 30s? Even when they are considered the new generation.

[freakguitar1]

when he says "WOW" he looks and sounds like Elmer Fudds :DDDD

[joaocarlospalhinha]

in a scale from 0 to jeff loomis how good are you at playing guitar?

[RileyHull]

@joaocarlospalhinha Good question.. watch my Betcha can't play this lick and you tell me :)

[bombershard]

i thought ieff always soloed in the bridge. this is a first i heard him solo with the neck pickup. :/

[DhieP9]

the best way to master guitar is lock yourself in your room, and perform guitar meditation 12 hrs a day, everyday. only come out when its a holiday

[lunasnuvs]

i luv him!<333 lol

[bytedildo]

wow..i so don't want to play like this jeff loomis

[ryankuisti]

@bytedildo why not?

[virusdetection]

jeff looks so bored xD

[ChewyCervantes]

If Jeff Loomis is a God, I wonder how good the Devil is at guitar...

[MANBATCOW]

@ChewyCervantes jeff is both the god and devil of guitar.

[cholo11]

@ChewyCervantes The devil is good but he already got beat by Tenacious D.

[summatsnotright]

i want a brand new jeff loomis

[xMrBumpyx]

The secret is practice with a fucking metronome and put the time in to your playing. its not hard.

[Requiemxtoxinnocence]

if you made a norifumi shima one or batio one that would be nice.

[theindians190]

eeeeeerm GIANT ?? xD

[zekefender]

omg jeff makes this guy look little, i think its his shoes lol

and jeff absolutly destroys guitar hes soo good!!!

[alabalaportocala29]

needn`t you say WOW!!!

[TheRadman28]

You know....my *personal* opinion, and you're all welcome to disagree, and the (more negative comments the merrier), I don't think Jeff is a *new* *generation*, par se. I think he's one of billions of people past, present, furutre, who's found a/ his own way to *connect the dots* and put it into to metal to make it more plaeasant to listen to...cuz metal without jeff and nevermore's art thrown was starting to take a kind of dreary and doomed course....wouldn't you t**hink??

Eh, whatev...

[HPrototype1]

After the guy said "This is a toaster, this is easy!" I seriously thought he was going to say "This is Jeff Loomis! He is Hard!"

[ChewyCervantes]

0:30 AH! WE SAW THAT JEFF!! YOU... JUST... SMIIILED?

[yaman1987]

he isnt that good, but still good for new players i guess

[smiley261963]

My son is a serious guitarist. I bought him this two -DVD set (Jeff Looms Extreme Lead Guitar) and Also Leads and Riffs with Michael Padget. Both of which were great investments in my son's love of guitar. Thank you Rock House for your amazing collection!!

[KrankItVZ]

0:20 that was soooo priceless lol

[TheRadman28]

I just shat myself 50 times watching Loomis!!! Jesus!!!!

[psychosis25]

:50 the justice league of metal

[Born2Rock1987]

look at the guitar and then look at jeff he must be tall......

[SystematicChaos08]

john petrucci is shred lord

[theindians190]

@SystematicChaos08 nooo. petrucci is just awesome! but shred lord is definetly

Michael angelo batio!^^

[matrixman770]

If Dethklok was to have a live tour with the characters actually be played by people who look like them and play just as good or better than them, Jeff Loomis would be the perfect Swisgarr

[megaluisdeth]

@matrixman770 Hahaha he does sort of look like him! But loomis is way better than small. I could actually learn dethklok solos. I tried learning Jato Unit and I was like fuck that.

[MICKGROHL]

Is Jeff really tall, or is that guy really short?

[Pulsuhundur]

the dude looks like a midget next to Jeff Loomis

[25jonathan]

this is not easy : *melts my face"

[Zigz94]

Is there a dvd on how to play LIKE jeff loomis?

[thegr8HarV]

haha i love how relevant the toaster is. i wouldn't call it a new breed tho, just advanced neoclassical

[sk8nguitar4evr]

Loomis is the best

[ErgoDM]

I struggle when I use even a toaster, no goddamn instructions of use.

[crissslavior]

So there's a bald, short, fat guy, next to a long-haired, medium-sized guy. Marketing, anyone?

[4everRock666]

why is there a cookie in the toaster?

[nneevveerrmmoorree]

therockhouse...you are right ..so many pople still think that Clapton or Van Halen is the best technically lol....I guess people dont care anymore...which is fine because now we (Thje guitar fans in the know) can see them ( Batio Vinnie Moore,MacAlpine etc) live for $20 or less in a bar dpending where you live

[Gtrplyr1]

if jeff shaved his head he would look like that wrestler Kane.

[cipher619]

Rofl Jeff looks HUGE in this ad (and he looks like a total badass)

Did anyone else catch the smile at 0:30 that disappeared real quick?

"O shit, Im smiling. No smiling. Im a badass in this ad... Seriousness is the key"

[TurnOnDistortion]

0:19 he stole the words right outta my mouth... love jeff loomis' work with nevermore and his solo album

[marrag1]

holy shit im gonna get this dvd

[FinalFight323]

I am SO buying Jeff's DVDs. DO WANT.

[Curoch]

When is the dvd coming out? I need my fix!!!!

[telkmen]

jeff loomis is god!!

[Ulquiorra068]

Why does he call him "Jeff Loomis" and not "Emiglio"

Look at him! He stands like a robot! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh god I love this guy!

One of the best guitarists in the world in my opinion!

[berserker213]

MUST.  HAVE. NOW.

[TheWhocares233]

LMFAO look at jeffs face. He looks like a blond metal shredding G.I JOE

[darkmrpopnfresh]

One of the people who inspired me on the guitar, and I defended him. Fuck you, kill yourself, no one likes a troll, go die,

[darkmrpopnfresh]

Just for you. Did my comments hurt you to where you deleted them? Aww, poor little guy, couldn't even take a comment, I'm keeping yours proudly. I told you thanks for the criticism so I don't think I'm very buthurt. I don't turn my bass up, your ears suck, my bass is always on 2 max. I'm not cocky at all, no one thinks I'm cocky but you. I never said I was better then anyone, you just got mad that I corrected steve on a misuse of the word "Dynamics" when he was trying to insult

[darkmrpopnfresh]

I'm not cocky, I never said I was good at the guitar, I never said I was better then anyone. Music is a way to express yourself, and if I like to express myself through gain so be it. Where do you get this idea of cockyness? Steve was bashing on some guy and I was just saying he didn't know what he was talking about. You jumped in and ran your mouth. Also I play classical pieces like air by jason becker, so I don't always use gain. I have nothing to prove to you, I'm not going to upload a video

[guenwhar]

jeff looks bored lol how tall is he? his hands are HUGE

[joethemetaldude]

wtf is up with jeff's feet? hahaha

[gotmayhem]

For further commercials: No talking, just shredding.

Good commercial though

[blacjack11]

Jeff Loomis is not A guitarist, he is THE guitarist

[Den1sVengeance]

@blacjack11 you said if man... HE'S A GOD!!!

[linikratyo]

@blacjack11 I lol'd

[therockhouse]

you miss the point, this ad is not directed at you that is number 1 and number 2 there are loads of people who still do not understand what is going on and who the new players are.

[Metal4Life911]

Sweet jesus.

[circleofpit]

video is a bit ridiculous, but the dvd will be fine

[Mucolytic666]

this is not easy?^^ this is impossible =D JEFF LOOMIS!!!

[geicowithdagheko1]

Lol dickride! Jk Jeff loomis is amazing

[mack88888888]

check jeffs grin at 0:30

hahahahaha

[JamalBojangles]

loomis kinda looks like an albino black guy with seaweed on his head. not hatin, i love loomis and nevermore, one of my favorite bands

[FleshMeltingMetal13]

Sadly... I totally see that.

[therockhouse]

come on dude, my kids have to see this. But you should not be to pissed at me I am the getting all these guys to tell their secrets and telling every one out there how good these guys are. HAHHA happy new year!

[dehdehderzz]

is it just me or does jeff always look pissed off

[matineesuxxx]

jeff plays that one little sweep bit A LOT dont get me wrong he is my fav guitarist but i still find that one little 3 string or so sweep to be a little redundant now...

[todor15]

yea he does do that but thats his style, and its an awesome style

i look at it that way

[TokyoNoize]

Jeff Loomis!!! <3

It's because he writes A LOT in B flat Diminshed...

Or rather any Diminshed scale. And that one little 3/4 diminished sweep is the best when paired with a good backing.

[TheSorrowedMan]

lololololo fail :D

[Vguitar777]

jeff looks like some kind of action figure here hahaha

[gnrcr]

@Vguitar777 Made my day. I just remembered this vid where they made a commercial about a John Petrucci action figure hahahaha, look it up !!!

[Gatecrasher12]

@Vguitar777 I want that action figure!!

[Scorpiuszeroone]

@Gatecrasher12

OMG Loomis action figure! Sick!

[DanTheGuitarMan1994]

I would so have Jeff Loomis back me in a street fight now haha :-).

[shadowhacker190]

Damn so much sweepina wtf

[NeverInOrder]

what happened with the dvd? wasn't it suppose to come out in october?

[Manowar4life1234]

Is Jeff like a giant? He looks wicked tall in this video

[SonicSpeedsMyGame]

and his legs aren't straight loll XD he must be hell of a tall

[heminder]

jeff loomis is awesome.

but in this video, all i heard was the word "corporation"

[MasqueradeOfLies]

corporation? rockhouse isnt a corporation. maybe theyre trying to reach out to corporations like sam ash or guitar center etc. to sell their dvds but that's business. and Jeff is finally starting to get the attention he deserves, he's been underrated for too damn long now!

[RikkudoSennin]

He has been. I remember listening to him back in 2004 and thinking: What the hell? This guy is amazing! And then after I discovered youtube, I found very few videso of him. ;( But now hes getting some attention. I just wish Broderick was too.

[666MetalMatt]

Broderick is,but now that hes in megadeth,hes playing all the solos with more skill than marty but still everyone focuses on dave cause they think hes the brains behind all of it.

[ArchieIsted]

he isnt the brains he is the 'do what i say or your fired behind it all'

[Spenceros]

I love how Jeff is like "The Terminator of Shred" in this XD Just stands there, melting face :P

[PrivateSnowballTFC]

Yeah, some douchebag plays a sloppy cover of the "Born" solo, and Jeff walks in and plays the real thing..."You are terminated!"

[6rosebudX]

umm jeff loomis is a great guitarist and incredible songwriter, but id never say he "pushes the boundaries of the instrument like never before"

i mean, hes a shred guitarist, and shred guitar is nothing new

[mooch666]

yeah but it's like nothing before kinda, you know ? he doesn't just do mindless shred. all of his notes are perfectly calculated where they are, and his technique is something everyone should shot for.

[guitar4evr30]

hes an amazing songwriter, and has taken melodic soloing to the next level my friend

[barret707]

I wouldnt say a shred guitarist when his songwriting is written more around the song rather than shreding but he's definately more than just a shred guitarist

[TheHorrorInside]

whats wrong with the dude ?

If I stood by Loomis watching him shred I'd shit my pants..

[REDTEARS667]

jeff looks really young in this : /

[freakondaleash91]

0:23 i love how Jeff is standing! lmfao!

i <3 Jeff Loomis and Nevermore!!

[ibanezxiphos700]

i cant wait for these DVDs to come out

[8stringerr]

they should have got rusty cooley to stand next to jeff hes such a short guy it would be awesome

[MaLaKaThIsS]

@8stringerr Lol that would be like David and Goliath

[sixpounder6169]

is thier gonna be a video for alexi laiho too?

[ProgressiveGuitarist]

Maybe if you go back 10 years when he could play guitar again, then yes there would be a video for him. Shame what he's like now.

[juchel]

jeff } laiho

[MorePie1]

fail,

[megadethrule1]

the fat dude would be small like 5"4 cause im 6"0 and just bigger then jeff loomis-i stood next to him at his loom of doom tour in manchester ruby lounge =]

[pandy445]

when does jeffs dvd come out?

[Manowar4life1234]

Is Jeff like 12 feet tall or what?

[SlavesShallServe6]

He's gotta be a giant to contain so much awesome.

[grievous56]

Great commercial guys!!! I love the toaster part. =D

And i also love Jeff in a guitar player kinda way. =)

[ELotion]

The tone Jeff Loomis has in this video doesn't give him any justice what-so-ever.

But I'll definitely vouche for Rock House. Loomis AND Cooley? for sure.

[Slashe50]

I LOVE Rock House, I learned how to do what I do now on the guitar from it.

[thebigboss1212]

1-Do you guys have a DVD for people who just bought a guitar?

2-Will you make a commercial with Michael Paget?

[therockhouse]

yes we have loads if beginner DVDs we have Rock Guitar Beginner, Blues Beginner and metal Beginner. you cna get them on line a musiciansfriend or in guitar center. We may make a padge one sometime

[Sjusovaren]

I can't wait for the Alex Skolnick DVD!

[blitzen762]

brilliant! reminds me of the shrapnel days! and i know you remember those days!

[SECONER1]

rob arnold :D

[SanitaryEm]

thanks for sharing! jeff seems like such a nice, cool guy with incredible talent.

[VilleVonFastFingers]

it would have been so fucking funny if he was literally standing on a pedestal

[therockhouse]

dude, I was saying that after I saw the finished piece, I should have been on a box or something and then when the camera pulled back you see it.We have a bunch more of these comeing out and I think they will get better and better.

[aquamarine118118]

is there gunna be an alexi one of these ?

[therockhouse]

yes , we'll do it when he gets here in January

[traklep]

i can play that , is so easy to me :D

[ibanezfan1014]

did a chocolate chip cookie pop out of the toaster? lol

[stephane696]

thanks joe for this fantastic video. it's stephane from france. i can't wait ot get this DVD.

stef. therockhouse RULES!!!!!!!!

[espChris93]

cant wait to get this DVD loomis is one of those shredders that still knows how to clearly explain the techniques and concepts that hes trying to hit

[therockhouse]

There are all Rock House Guitar Instructors John McCarthy, Jeff Loomis, Rob Arnold, Rusty Cooley, Kiko Loureiro, Mark Rizzo & Alexi Laiho

[Gtrplyr1]

THis reminds me of that car insurance commercial where there is a famous person next to the "Car insurance" client that makes noises or talks only after the client talks.

[realguitarshredder]

fuck how tall is jeff...

[therockhouse]

I should have stood on a box. I am 6'3" so he must be like 7 feet, I guess!

[realguitarshredder]

Ur 6'3?? lol.. I thought you must be 5 or something, ofcourse I compared u with jeff.. but Jeff is 7 feet tall? damn, he should be in wrestling.

[therockhouse]

JK Jeff is about 6 3

[z0mgzt0m]

WHAT? your 6"3, holy shit jeff is the tallest shredder then???!?!!

[ibashred]

rock house is awesome!! i have both rusty cooley dvds and you better believe that i'm pickin up the loomis one as well!! just a thought for your consideration though... CHRIS BRODERICK!! need i say more??-jonny

[therockhouse]

Jeff is going to connect us with Chris Broderick.

[ibashred]

thats stupid!! haha.. who gave me a thumbs down?? because i think that rock house is great or cause i like chris broderick?? idiots!! thanks though joe... can't wait for all of these instructional dvds to come out! -jonny

[shredfactor7]

i live in canada.. can i get any of these in canada?

[staticxfrk]

yes

[LordOfThisWorld74]

is jeff that tall or is that dude short?? he looks like a big man

[supersax92]

haha whats up taylor?

im deffenetly gonna try and get this dvd

[lawlz01]

When is the DVD expected to be released?

[therockhouse]

Jeff's DVD will be out early October

[lawlz01]

In the meantime, how do I toaster?

[shredfactor7]

Where can I order a DVD of Rusty and Jeff?? :D

[ibanezdudeck]

musiciansfriend . com

music123 . com

guitarcenter . com

[drawnacrol]

Is Jeff playing in E or Eb on the DVD???

[Loomis467]

half step down. on all strings.

[aligatorsandwitch72]

How tall is Jeff Loomis? That is an extended scale guitar and it looks small on him, plus he is like three feet taller than the short bald guy.

[therockhouse]

maybe I should have stood on a box!

[aligatorsandwitch72]

MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE!!!!

Haha, i will probably check out the Jeff Loomis DVD. What would you recommend the Jeff Loomis one or the Rusty Cooley one?

[coreyvf]

John has taught me everything I know... and he taught me everything through your DVDs... Jeff and John are both awesome!

Thanks so much guys, keep doing what you're doing!

[heMANshred]

jeff loomis is WAY better than john mcarthy!

[therockhouse]

Come on, now is that Nice, Jeff and John are totally at different ends of the guitar spectrum as far as styles. Also I bet you do not realize that John is the guy who TRAINS every single artist who comes to Rock House to teach. Why do you think they teach so well. Ask any one of them and they would tell you how they feel about John!

[heMANshred]

i know, i know. what can i say? im just a jeff loomis fan. and no i didnt know all that stuff. thanks for being kind!

[bulletfmvrocks101]

first o yeh
