Other dude was just another EVH wannabe.

nice ill be waiting for april for the next installment like the guy at the end said.

Seems like a nice kid. Hope he does well

Scott was pretty damned badass! 🤘

Is he the same Jay Roberts, guitar player that's working with Ben Lacy in these days?

amazing! 🙂

Stellar

@ 3:01 lady: "you're about to get destroyed leave the building..."

That lucious hair ❤

this is one thing i find the most discouraging when learning an instrument...most of my musical heroes were already gods in their teens :D. sean reinert comes to mind who recorded the drums on death - human when he was just 19. some people are just madly talented and put in enormous effort. really amazing.

Now he is a god

I have to admit I had never heard of Jeff until the last year where I found him on YT playing through Jason Becker and Malmsteen stuff and man was I impressed. Jeff is a machine

You can tell he was a Jason Becker worshiper. He owes that man his life hahaha

Rob schooled me in tuning and taking care of guitars and basses .Mistrust, Alice in chains, Sanctuary, War Babies, Forced Entry and many others. Your teachings earned me the trust of many great Seattle bands ! Jeff Hubbard

That hair, though...

Do all these guys still play?

First guy nailed EVH routine. Jeff came in and cleaned the house of just pentatonic... Both were great but I see why Jeff won...

Gifted 😂😂we see a camel toe 😂😂

It's surprising to hear that in this improvisation you can hear in advance some riffs and solos that he then wrote years later with Nevermore! Jeff Loomis is an amazing guitarist! Thanks for existing Jeff!

The gap between first and second place here is not measured in seconds but years.

It's pretty amazing how much more skilled Jeff is than the other player especially referencing part 1. Jeff was already a world-class player at 19. Amazing.

Hes almost the same fast as paul Gilbert here. Jeff is the mannnnnnm.

slop

Best teacher I've had. Taught me how awesome playing the guitar could be

You know it's game over when the other dude turns into yngwei lol

If Jeff keeps practicing, maybe one day he will place higher than Joan Jett in a Rolling Stone magazine guitar player survey...

He is like Jason Becker, he was just there from the start.

How was it initially tied? In this video Jeff made the other dude sound like nick Jonas.

It wasn't fair. Jeff had his hair helping him. What an animal. They're all good. Jeff though has that something a little more melodic, even at mach 9 speed. Brilliant.

I can see why Jeff is with Arch Enemy. He was and still is a bad ass.

idk man i thinks emmons slayed that one but loomis is a beast too. emmons just had the eddie sounds bro

Now that I hear it, that SAils of charon part is almost identic to some passages he uses influences marked, but he developed something very special.

Metal metal metal JL🎸🤘🏻

Loomis was shredding on a Robin custom..?

i studied under Jay Roberts for a few years back in high school, more of a jazz guy but he can shred too

Major Racer X influence !!!

Boring af, but of course skilled.

Imagine, At This Time In His Life, Jeff Had No Idea He Would Turn Into One Of The Greatest PLAYER'S EVER 🎸🎸

Fun stuff! Great meeting you at ITB 2023

Is that Eddie van hallan . This my first time checking this footage

What kind of guitar does loomis have?

A 19 year old Jeff Loomis plays guitar better than I ever could. Even with more years of experience than he was old at the time, lol. Man is an absolute beast!

Jeff Loomis, The River Dragon

✌️👍🖖

Holy shit! He had that Born riff sitting in there since 19yo!

If people could just stop to belittle the years of dedication, practice, willpower and motivation it must've taken to arrive at that level of skill with just 19 years old by talking of "talent" or "god given gifts". FFS, the dude spent 10 hours a day practicing and grinding to become the legend he is and was even back then, people could simply honor that and not brush the hard work aside and attribute everything they can't wrap their heads around to magical gifts or higher powers. Jeff investet a shitload of time and effort and he earned his place in guitar history by doing so by himself.

Besides winning that shred-off, Jeff really should have gotten an extra award for that great head of hair!

Some of his lick and his picking is remind me of Paul gilbert from racer x Era's. Paul gilbert in the 80's is beast

wtf he was playing the born riff when he was 19

You watch Scott Emmons and just KNOW he worked at a Guitar Center, probably until Bain Capitol bought them out and got rid of guys like him
