The thing with Jeff Loomis is that his riffs sounds like solos yet so dark and melodic. His alternate and economy picking are second to none, and he can sound melancholic given the circumstances. When he write the stuff, no single note nor riff are wasted, and nothing is out of place.
This guy always has everyone's best interest at heart, he reminds me so much of Dimebag Darrell in this way, compassion must make for some of the heaviest riff writing imaginable. 🤘
Dimebag was a guitar virtuoso absolutely but he was racist and played a guitar with a confederate flag on it... compassionate is not a word I'd use to describe him...
He was born in the 60s, in Texas no less. It's no surprise really. He's also been dead almost twenty years, so doesn't really matter anymore does it. @@havenless3551
Just the "essential" (switch + volume), my kind of setup! Not to mention the rest of the specs, what a great guitar, I wish I could get one, I always loved Jackson since I first saw it +30 years ago...
I love Jackson snd Ibanez,i own a Jackson soloist pro series #7 Mick Thompson Slipknot w active Seymour Duncan blackout pickups,hardtail with floyd tunability,drop beast! Your guitar is sic ,looks and sounds like it! Now gotta grab one for myself...
This is not a knock because I absolutely love my Jeff Loomis SL7. For all my waiting wanting something that passionately inspires me just looking at it... Jeff came through. I agree that the hard tail for some is desired depending on one's playing needs, but I was curious to see with the new pickups if different color options may be on the future menu. If not... I was thinking about purchasing the hardtail and painting the body white, silver, or gunmetal grey. Between Jeff Loomis and Christ Broderick axes... all my bonus money from work is virtually spent (LOL!!!)
Jeff and Jackson have created a truly great selection of guitars. Unfortunately, my desired configuration is not there yet: A Kelly with 7 strings, a fixed bridge (ideally with Evertune) and the Noumenon pickups. Please make this possible!!!
So i guess Jeff is more comfortable these days as a solo act? :( He created *MAGIC* with Warrell Dane and Nevermore i still say he needs to get the rest of the band together and go get Matt Barlow and make something new and refreshing. As much as i like "some" solo albums it is nice to hear some vocals on songs . Man...to hear a Matt Barlow on a Jeff Loomis record would be Majestic. DO IT Jeff! ;)
I'm really looking forward to listening to the future album that you're working on in the shadows. From one of your French fans and guitarist (by the way, I was hesitating between your SL7 HT and a luthier's guitar [obviously more expensive, but I think I'll save up for this SL7-HT after buying a set of Nounemou microphones to put on the guitar I'm currently using].
OK, so I'd rather have a Floyd Rose on a guitar than not because of what I like to play even though changing strings is a chore. But, other than that, why I really like the guitar in this video is that it has a 3-way toggle and the passive pickups. I have a tone knob in my Jackson but I never use it. It's always turned fully up. Perhaps I'll try to experiment with it occasionally but I wouldn't miss it if I had Jeff's guitar.
What song is that he’s playing at 4:50? It sounds chunky and huge. I never listened to Nevermore or Jeff Loomis. I’ve always heard his name thrown around but I never listened. Don’t know why but I want to now lol.
I don't recall ever hearing this, and I'm pretty sure I've heard everything he's ever done. So I'm guessing something from the new stuff he said he's working on...which I can't wait for :)
It might be new stuff, atleast I don't recognize it. I'd recommend to check out his Zero order phase solo album. There's this kind of chops and of course Conquering Dystopia which he did with Keith Merrow.
OK... I rethought my earlier opinion. Black is the ideal color, but I'm probably gonna buy the hard tail with passive pickups and paint the body white. I need my heaven and hell conflict of the soul vibe.
He just confirmed... Working on NEW SOLO ALBUM!!! FINALLY!!! Cant wait! \,,/
man has been saying that since before arch enemy
He waited for Time II to come out first
@@shaharbar😂
I’ve been waiting for his solo album for a decade now. IT WILL HAPPEN….IT MUST HAPPEN
I have been waiting for more than 10 years. It is very nice to hear that!
As someone who's not a huge FR fan, this makes me very excited. Might have to grab myself one.
I wish it would come with evertune bridge.
The thing with Jeff Loomis is that his riffs sounds like solos yet so dark and melodic. His alternate and economy picking are second to none, and he can sound melancholic given the circumstances. When he write the stuff, no single note nor riff are wasted, and nothing is out of place.
Yes he’s sick, but get off his dick
"Fridge logo" is so accurate lol
Toothpaste logo... fridge logo... they all make me laugh since they make sense LOL!
This thing looks solid. I don't need a guitar but as soon as I saw it I was like "wellll.... maybe I do need another". Fuck
His playing is so insanely aggressive and precise… and he’s so articulate and soft spoken when he talks. What a pro… top notch human being.
jeff loomis the best human of the world
No that's Jesus, he's in prison in Mexico right now but he's just going through a phase. Otherwise, solid dude.

@@havenless3551 LMFAO
Jeff and Jackson, for the love of God make a 6 string version of this beast. Badass playing. Badass guitar. 🤘
I think they already did
7 is da way
I can agree that 6 string players need access to this beast,... but 7 strings is just perfect, trust me...
This almost feels like a 6 string, the neck is amazing. It feels very natural to play and near plays itself
There's already 6 string version of Kelly!!
FINALLY THIS IS JEFF LOOMIS HAS TO BE!!! GIGANTIC MONSTER TONE 🔥🔥🔥,...BRING BACK NEVERMORE AGAIN!!!!
Your wish is Jeff's command🎉
Jeff Loomis is a really big inspiration to take my guitar and shred 🎸🔥
It’s a breath of fresh air to see a metalhead who speaks well and has no tattoos.
his playing speaks for itself,
4:59 - "I just like to really keep things... simple"
5:07 - ~start shred like a maniac~
God damn Jeff Loomis...
Jeff back to 7 is such a fantastic thing. I missed his Schecters when they were brand new so time to try this
Jeff Loomis is the real deal, and I love Jackson Guitars too! Loomislay side dots! Sorry couldnt resist.. haha
His Kelly is a 6 string, that's it.
lol 😆 love it
Just needs a reverse headstock and its absolutely perfect
Congratulations for the new signature model!
Premier Metal guitar by one of the premier Metal guitarists! Thanks, Jeff, for the music!
Makes me want mine back! Killer guitar and killer company. Stay well and cheers from The U.P.
This guitar is gorgeous! The pickups in this would be amazing, primarily being an acoustic player, it wouldn't feel so sensitive.
one of the nicest guys ever! I want one now!!!
hes total class and badass
Jeff is the man
I guess it's a song from his new album ! delightfull
Im trying to find it!
Man I would love a full playthrough of what Jeff is playing there, is that an excerpt of something from the upcoming solo album? Sounds tasty!
Hardtail, passive seymour, 26,5 scale, killer look.. close to perfection for me!
The shred master!!!
This might be my first Jackson The 6 string.
Just the "essential" (switch + volume), my kind of setup! Not to mention the rest of the specs, what a great guitar, I wish I could get one, I always loved Jackson since I first saw it +30 years ago...
legend
Sandblasted and black, YES!
Yess, Exactly this one with the hardtail bridge is the way to go .. 🤘💀
Next Solo Album!!!!!
I love Jackson snd Ibanez,i own a Jackson soloist pro series #7 Mick Thompson Slipknot w active Seymour Duncan blackout pickups,hardtail with floyd tunability,drop beast! Your guitar is sic ,looks and sounds like it! Now gotta grab one for myself...
What a beautiful guitar 😍👍🏻
Cheers from Austria ✌🏻
Pretty slick guitar, honestly. Big fan of the HT and passives.

new solo album!!!
Looks Amazing 🎸!
Love the black wood grain on the guitar 🎸
Ive always wanted a loomis passive pickup. Im really into.dynamics in my playing and actives are just too clear for me. Im digging this.
FINALLY, new music ❤
This looks DOPE AF!
Definitely wanted the other version as well and this one as well
This is awesome Jeff
Yes thank you! I was just wishing for this variation literally the other day.
This is HUGE! now I know my next 7. 🤘🏻
His guitar is one of THE BEST looking signature guitars ever!
Actually, this is the perfect 7 string. From now on, everything new will never compare.
It's a fucking beautiful electric guitar!
So i guess Jeff is more comfortable these days as a solo act? :( He created *MAGIC* with Warrell Dane and Nevermore i still say he needs to get the rest of the band together and go get Matt Barlow and make something new and refreshing.

Conquering Dystopia 2??? Love the axe. Beautiful.
So awesome
Ohhhh hell yes! That's killer 🤘🤘🎸🙏
Still like his Og shecter 7 made in Korea. I have 3 ❤
🤠🤘🏻EXCELLENT!!!!!🤠🤘🏻
We need a Pro Plus version with reverse head stock! Please and thank you!
Premier metal guitar is a FACT. Love the fridge logo too. Cheers.
That’s a really cool guitar. I want one!
I wonder that Jeff is recording a new album!!! :D
Damn I want this
🖤 strategies of an axe wielding warlock.
There it is! Sick 🤘
Wow. Jackson loves taking my money. Would love to see an Ebony fretboard juggernaut pro series and a 26.5” Dave Davidson warrior 7 come out please!!!!
Hi how are you rock on dude l am learning to play guitar basic power chords you are a perfect guitarist.
Loominlay!
Hell yes 🤘
Such a humble awesome dude
I want it.
Nice guitar

"I like to keeps things simple"
Makes a song called Miles Of Machines
... :D Jeff, you're too good for this mortal world.
Looking healthy Jeff
Aw man I want a seven string and this one has the hardtail bridge now! If it only had stainless steel frets...
love it
He confirmed it 🥰🥰 new solo album
Wow nice, i want one 😎
Zero order phase is one of the best shred albums of all time. Fight me.
Oh we can fight, but it'll still be the best.

For the love of satan, PLEASE make a Kelly 7 string 26.5 with SS frets!
God is infinitely more powerful than satan
@@notnoaintno5134 there is no god.
Guys an absolute unit…..a jato unit if you will 😉
Damn Jeff, take your inspiration to Ibanez! An Ibanez RGRT 6 string would be so sick!!!!
Volume knob should be close to the bridge and low in height. 3 way pickup selector is great.
🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤
Jackson! No stainless steel frets again. This is a standard feature on guitars far less expensive.

He looks younger than how he looked like 15 years ago :) Props to him.
🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Will the FR version get the new pickups too ?
IMO not doing a jackson kelly 7 string was a miss opportunity.
The new Baritone Kelly is dope I just got one 🤷🏻♂️
@@KrisBishop78 the warrior one looks cool too.
Apparently they tried but couldn’t get the neck dive under control.
@@RiffFlair I can see that being a issue unless they try making the body super heavy lol.
OK... I rethought my earlier opinion. Black is the ideal color, but I'm probably gonna buy the hard tail with passive pickups and paint the body white. I need my heaven and hell conflict of the soul vibe.
Working in a new album Great
I'd like a Experiment Fear reunion.
You think when he inevitably switches to ESP that those will be the "best" in the world?
Great guitar player. A god of a salesman.
Nice! Will it be available in left-handed config?
Appleton, Wisconsin... If you know you know
Yum!
Damn. He gets a guitar every month.
Could u do this for left handers please !!!!!
What about the nut?? Material,etc
