Jeff Loomis - The Merchant of Menace #4

[rrgert4]

does the guitar come with the hair ?

[Elite7555]

fucking great guitar player and an extremly good teacher. it's a shame that i have not seen a video of him erlier.

[DarkKnight896]

Jeff Loomis is easily my favorite guitarists, hes fucking incredible, he has a incredible signature guitar, and god damn thats some awesome distortion.

[25jonathan]

i like how he just kinda improvises over the an idea instead of playing the EXACT same notes every time. some players care much about playing the exact same thing every time.

[BCRichJunky777]

@Deependra2 : 1st song from Obisidian Conspiracy album called The Termination Proclamation

[Deependra2]

what's the song dat is played during d intro?????

[heavymetalhippiebear]

sooooooo, why does he shave his eyebrows off?

[e3axordos]

@heavymetalhippiebear

he's blond 

[greensp4rk]

@heavymetalhippiebear the fact that he is blonde probably makes them difficult to see

[heavymetalhippiebear]

@greensp4rk idk in Guitar World they had a close up and I still didn't see them, I mean it doesn't change the fact that he's a great guitarist, I was just curious.

[sonas76]

@heavymetalhippiebear Jeff has eyebrows, they are just really blonde and hard to see. My kid sister is the same way.

[jackthexplorer]

ever seen halloween?

[lineriderlord]

is that a schecter blackjack 7 fr?

[dimeowns100]

@lineriderlord It his signature guitar :)

[Santaslave666]

@lineriderlord Schecter "Jeff Loomis" C7 FR sig.

[Den1sVengeance]

Im trying to play the second part of the solo and it's ridiculous..... Loomis is awesome!

[LeetManify]

I want that guitar so badly that i'd punch a baby for it. Get me a fetus and i take the pedals too!!

[matyasd88]

good lesson

[tiuri95]

is he gay?

[KwinsieGrooten]

@tiuri95

GAY? wtf... dude, this is Jeff "he fucked your momma"Loomis!

[tiuri95]

@KwinsieGrooten well, i didn't said that he plays bad, but he's looking like..... like such a guy one...

[KwinsieGrooten]

@tiuri95

hmmmm oké it's your opinion man.

[dimeowns100]

That is the beefiest tone i've ever heard

[wariomt]

@dimeowns100 i wouldnt call this no mids, gain all the way a beefy sound mate. his sound is great, but beefy? no way :D

[bigrock007]

I played his guitar a few weeks ago and really fucked up!

[KG739]

if schecter made that guitar with an ebony fretboard.....instant buy!

[guitarherorawks20]

EMG's don't do justice



[MrCwillies]

@guitarherorawks20 if EMG's are good enough for jeff loomis, than they are good enough for anyone.

[nugma]

@MrCwillies No. They're good for people who play like Loomis. Contrary to popular belief, there are most likely better suited pickups for your style than EMG's. I wish people who stop putting them in everything

[guitarherorawks20]

@MrCwillies I'll stick to my Handwound Amalfitano PAF's.

[dimebagisGOD866243]

wow jeff has massive hands!

[WalrusDoom]

@dimebagisGOD866243 A tragedy for a man with such a small metal cock

[greensp4rk]

@dimebagisGOD866243 something you'll see often in guitarists that play mad fast... for example paul gilbert. his pinky is al song as my middle finger lol

[GreenIcyTea]

what tuning is this?

[eyeoftheterrible]

@GreenIcyTea 7 string B standard

[RyanMartinIsForYou]

@GreenIcyTea 7 string B flat tuning, so half a step down from B

[F4TB0Y69]

@GreenIcyTea yeah it is B flat, half step below the standard 7 string tuning =]

[TurtleyPompato]

hooooolyyyyy shiiiiiiiit.

[KingMooseSLSK]

Finally someone that could play heavy and not sound like crap...Jesus I long awaited this day

[metalvocalistwanted]

so this is what it sounds like when you sell your soul? ^_^ \\m//

[bastischlonz]

why do these guys always use words like "just, simple, only, easy..."

[HappyDictator]

He keeps wearing the same clothes lol

[WalrusDoom]

@HappyDictator He's actually trapped in a basement there and they only let him out to play terrible riffs.

[FullSolo]

i love hearing that flat 5th in metal

[mTruck15]

ive played that guitar and it didnt make me anything like him..what the hell?

[sartaajhussain]

@mTruck15 You need the hair. :P

[CharveI]

could use some tab for this, cannot pick it up by rewinding all the time

[leothedrawer3]

@CharveI USE YOUR EAR

[CharveI]

2:32......this is for me to keep rewinding it until i can play it

[davidmckenna96]

Love this guy!

[chuchahan]

freakin sweet!

[maneatingtoilets]

2:40 sounds like the floods solo. A bit. I like it.

[metachozoite]

this is amazingly easy?...im guesing it is all in song riting these days? Or is it who you know?

[TheMetalHeaD256]

@metachozoite watch his other videos... his other shit is anything but easy. you're right, this is really easy. the real meat is in his solos.

[metachozoite]

@TheMetalHeaD256 humm ok I think teh only thing making these challenging thsoe is sweep picking...but Im more of a eric johnson satch type player...but stiil....I wanna learn how to do sweep...good place to start?

[TheMetalHeaD256]

@metachozoite i don't really see any sweep picking in there. he's mostly picking once and hammering on as he goes up the scales fast.

[rickyjshiznit]

i cant be the only person who thinks he looks like david st.hubbins from spinal tap...

[Nameless164]

@rickyjshiznit He totally does :D

[FE1261]

[FE1261]

[FE1261]

LOOMIS LIKE FAST! (Yes, it is a joke, before people get on my case)

[WalrusDoom]
