His amazing technique is something every guitarist should aspire to, weather they play blue, metalcore, jazz, or whatever. That dude plays fucking CLEAN
Propbably explains why he plays passages slightly different from the studio take in lesson videos so often. I started to think he did it on purpose lol
you can express some feelings through playing blues or ballads, but you can also express anger and evilness through this kind of song. So the discussion about feeling is pointless. as long as you play it right and honestly there is always a feeling being expressed. This guy is awesome
@MrNeosantana :O I didn't know that about Diary of a Madman! What is exactly the Algerian scale actually? :/ In any case, it's hard to translate a real Middle Eastern melody to the standard Western notation system since there is no substitution for the 2nd minors between two notes ;)
Anyone attempting the diminished string skipping part, don't do it. You'll stretch your hand too much and turn it into a flattened pancake or something. That technique fucks up your hand and it's only something Jeff can do. I don't know how he does it but he just does.
it sounds the same? every player has there favourite musical qualitys. Loomis likes Diminished and whole tone licks, and mixes them up frequently. He also likes going up in Minor thirds for alot of his riffs like the verse riff in "Born"
@Ningirsutyr I know that he probably never even heard a not from a Middle Eastern track, but nevertheless it sounds familiar to the Oud or Qanoon. But Randy Rhoads for example played the entire solo in "Diary Of A Madman" in the Algerian Scale, But if you go to something like Maiden, It's sometimes the Augmented 5th
Jeff Loomis, why? Why do you make things so difficult? Why? But do you know, that old Jeff was so smart and so slick, he thought up a lie and he thought it up quick. :P
@R1ronin Well, about Gilbert, he just has a really long pinky, and Brendan can stretch too. Look for Technical Difficulties (He plays a red Ibanez with a fixed bridge, so you can recognize the vid" And for Small, watch his "Betcha Can't Play This"
Every time i see his hands im surprised..Jeff is the person on Earth who have exactly the same hands and fingers with me, both in length and shape...our hands are brothers hahaha
I accidentally skipped to the slow intro where he is doing the chugs slowly, WHAT AN INTRO any ways, try listening and accenting the intro SLOWLY, its brutal as F. here look 0:56
@HuberttXXX17 Alright, and theres no need to apologize as you did nothing wrong, I was just asking for a reference :). Further note, I still disagree...
Just a heads up for those trying to learn this. The solo rhythm is significantly different on the actual record than he shows in this video. It's more like this: |------------------------|--------------------5|----------------------|------------------------| |4444_5444447|5444_544443|5444_544442|5444_53333_5| |2222_3222225|3222_32222--|3222_322220|3222_31111_3|
"everything he does sounds the same" Let me reveal a very true phrase to you guys - "jack of all trades, master of none". I'd much rather have Jeff make 1 awesome style of music than a bunch of medicore styles.

Love jeff Loomis. He is my all time favorite. He can't be beat
fuck man gotta love how he gets cleaner as he gets faster
I can do this in my sleep. But only in my sleep. This dude is wicked!!
Wow, I'm surprised Jeff says he improvises a lot in the studio. All his solos seem so well composed. Just goes to show what a monster musician he is.
Propbably explains why he plays passages slightly different from the studio take in lesson videos so often. I started to think he did it on purpose lol
Awesome! , more Jeff Loomis videos Plz
amazing violinist!!!!!!!
4:11 impossible task for me
that is a beautiful guitar

@Lentax If I'm not mistaken he's tuned down a half step so its Bb standard.
I love that guitar *-*
@MrNeosantana :O I didn't know that about Diary of a Madman! What is exactly the Algerian scale actually? :/ In any case, it's hard to translate a real Middle Eastern melody to the standard Western notation system since there is no substitution for the 2nd minors between two notes ;)
Killer Tone!

that stretch at 4:15 is just no for me, at least on an extended scale guitar(Loomis sig). Curse my average sized hands.
Dude its ok i knw u r gd player too jus wrk it out slwly n u wil get it
You can tap the notes of the stretch parts if its difficult
very good.
it sounds the same? every player has there favourite musical qualitys.
Loomis likes Diminished and whole tone licks, and mixes them up frequently. He also likes going up in Minor thirds for alot of his riffs like the verse riff in "Born"
lovely, i love u jeff!!!

His hand looks like a "rake" during the last solo shapes.
JL is insanely talented. I could listen to him play all day.
What's the song in the beginning?
Sounds like he's playing the gypsy scale, one of my favorite scales.
The intro riff... is that from a song? If so whats it called plz?
Termination Proclamation, Nevermore. Your long wait for an answer is at an end! :D
This guy really knows how to incorporate Middle Eastern flavors into his playing
Jeff Loomis, why? Why do you make things so difficult? Why?
But do you know, that old Jeff was so smart and so slick, he thought up a lie and he thought it up quick. :P
@R1ronin Well, about Gilbert, he just has a really long pinky, and Brendan can stretch too.

And for Small, watch his "Betcha Can't Play This"
what model schecter is that. it looks sick nasty. must be a signiture model
@guitarfiend797 yeah, Jeff Loomis signature model
he has scary big hands
saw him in person at NAMM. can confirm, large hands
@Niallphillips
it all sounds awesome
1.37 the smile on his face = PRICELESS (yeah i nailed that solo ROFL!)
Those notes aren't there when I play.
Maybe your guitar didn't come with them. He has the platinum model
😆
is this regular tuning?
JEFF?????? How come you had to quit Nevermore????? Hope the solo record sounds good. Dont leave your fans behind!!!!
como se llama la cancion??
freeze at 4:28....he has the demon hand!!!!
jeff loomis is living prove of god
listen to Bach's Mass in B Minor ..
It is also the intro to SX "The Divine Wings of Tragedy" ..
@25jonathan
Well said, but it's not exactly phrygian :p
It's Phrygian Dominant, which is a mode of harmonic minor.
That stretching lick must have been Shawn Lane inspired.
Every time i see his hands im surprised..Jeff is the person on Earth who have exactly the same hands and fingers with me, both in length and shape...our hands are brothers hahaha
@Ningirsutyr I'm not sure. that's at least what Guitar Pro 5 scale finder told me.
@Lentax lol sorry bro, knew you were joking about the Z but i thought you really wanted to know lol
And I thought the stretch on Andy James' "Diary of Hell's Guitar" was big.
@grievous56 I found out, right after reading your comment.
@EnemyXofXreality666 Shawn Lane used to do it as well
@Niallphillips Thats a fair point but this is a piece of music, not mindless fretwanking.
@Lentax probably b flat standard
Bb,eb,ab,db,gb,bb,eb-low to high
nice
This guy is heavier than a rain of axes! once you have enden to listen his solo album your personality changes (into heavier of course)
@Rrrrobbo A dimished string skip lick like this is painful even on frets above 12
I accidentally skipped to the slow intro where he is doing the chugs slowly, WHAT AN INTRO any ways, try listening and accenting the intro SLOWLY, its brutal as F. here look 0:56
@hellion786 He does have big hands
@R1ronin I'm just saying "If this is wide stretching for you, then you'd be scared if you saw X"
I'm not insulting you in any way, dude
Jeff Loomis eats haters for breakfast.
so smoth could be on a starbucks menu
@Nameless164 isnt it " a jack of all traits, is a master of nothing"
That rhythm riff sounds rhythmically similar to the beautiful people
4:06 i was like, what happened to his pinky?! Where is it? Than i realised that he was using his pinky.
@nght5tlkr w8 for the video its still processing
1:50 basically he's saying "because i'm jeff fucking loomis and i'm better than you"
EVH FTW.
@Thardus616 cool
@jpjdo1212 No, a trait is like a part of your personality.
@YggdrasilEtLeCruxis i have a six string you can still play 90% of the solo you know
1:30 + What big hands you have.
@Navarre1994 He IS highly influenced by Friedman, and Jason Becker
@BaphometStudios i use 1.5 and its perfect for me
0:47 ''for this next bitch...''
he is a long-haired guitar playing vampire!
@HuberttXXX17 Alright, and theres no need to apologize as you did nothing wrong, I was just asking for a reference :).
Further note, I still disagree...
1:38 he's smiling because he knew that nobody can easily play that
@mortemdrummer and still the sexiest man alive as long as he has a guitar in his hands...
6:25 Impossible....
pikinge paling keren ....
@sonicgeetar to blow a whole through your point..Milli vanilli Toured....so shows what that logic means
Just a heads up for those trying to learn this. The solo rhythm is significantly different on the actual record than he shows in this video. It's more like this:
|------------------------|--------------------5|----------------------|------------------------|
|4444_5444447|5444_544443|5444_544442|5444_53333_5|
|2222_3222225|3222_32222--|3222_322220|3222_31111_3|
Thanks! I was trying to figure out why I couldn't get it, so this hopefully will help.
hands of a giant
This is absolutely Arabic mode called ( Hijazi - Phrygien dominant ) 😀
i miss the hair string mute
@R1ronin You've obviously never watched Brendan Small or Paul Gilbert play, then you'd be scared
@Nameless164 guthrie govan is master of all styles...
that busts my organs ... *_____________*
@gnrcr
Dude, Jeff quit Nevermore along with their drummer Van Williams. =[[
@gdbangrenbehemoth666 Lucky you! My hands are rather small so its almost impossible for me
4:08 ARE YOU SHITTIN ME?
The moment he said phrygian dominant I came, that's probably my favorite scale. Sounds edgy as fuck though.
"everything he does sounds the same"
Let me reveal a very true phrase to you guys - "jack of all trades, master of none".
I'd much rather have Jeff make 1 awesome style of music than a bunch of medicore styles.
Sorry it took 9 years to reply... But.. FUCK YEAH 🤘
@denerpunkrock who the fuck is JUSTIM BEIBER!?
@IloveRillettes
i know brutal
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
damn long fingers.. longer that mine... O_O
@brendanollie ...down a half step
@genud0414 i think it was a joke....
4:15 what the fuck man I can't do that shit.
@ThexXURIELXx Half-step down on a seven-string, A# D# G# C# F# A# D#
@Niallphillips His solo album disagrees strongly.
C# Phrygian Dominant. Sounds scary.
@nght5tlkr works for me
