Yeah, we want more content with Loomis
He is such a nice guy and of course a legend.
Abi söyle adama altitudes official playthrough çeksin
I met Jeff when I was 21 and we talked for a hour before the show
Dead heart in a dead world is definitely in my top 5. One of the heaviest tones I'ever heard.
Hell yes it is, that album is easily top 5 for me too.
100% Agree.
That's because he used a bass string for the seventh string on the guitar
srsly
I was thinking this the entire video
Yeah, let's have more Jeff Loomis videos please, the man is a pleasure to hear talk music let alone play, amazing!!!
Nice to see Akira getting some props. He’s maybe the most under-rated 80’s shredder. For tone, I can’t argue with this list at all, except maybe Yngwie on Rising force. Raw, beautiful tone.
Yngwie has beautiful tone despite a fairly simple signal chain- it’s his touch that makes it sing too
@@TheEnderBand He most certainly does. One of the best tones that I've ever heard is Yngwie's _Mistreated_ cover on the _Inspirations_ album.
Perpetual Burn is an absolute masterpiece...in the truest, most accurate sense of the word. Otherwordly playing and composition. Jason Becker is a transcendent talent. Jeff himself, had to lock-in with all his focus and ability just to cover the song Perpetual Burn. If you understand how unbelievably fantastic Jeff is, you can begin to understand the ethereal talent and abilities of Jason Becker.
@@adamdevo7179 You're certainly entitled to you opinion. I can tell you this: in 35 years of practicing, playing, gigging, I'll never begin to even approach Jeff's level. Nor will 99.99999999% of guitarists. He, along with other virtuosos are born with something that no amount of dedication and practice will ever yield.
Yea, and I think he even wrote some or alot of the material when he was 15-17. Jason was and still is on another level. He has to get other guitarists to play for him now but what he composes (in his head mostly before actually getting it down in the ways he still can) is still fantastic
"The godless endeavor" is my favorite tone of Jeff's ever and one of my all time favorites too. Probably Top 10 at least.
dude after the intro when the isolated guitar riff comes on
@@MaestroJericho Yes Sir or the intro/arpeggio lead in "Psalm of Lydia."
@@HunterRouth a more underappreciated part of that song is the sick pre-chorus riff at 0:50.
When they palm mute it from 0:57-1:04 it sounds so tight! GREAT guitar tone!
Zero Order Phase was awesome as well!
@@incitatus634 100% agree.
Early Eddie an obvious pick. Akira Takasaki and Michael Schenker are a bit more obscure but two of my personal favorites for both tone and melody. Nice to see them remembered here.
So many videos with Jeff... Don't stop! ❤️
Shawn Lanes tone is the SICKEST ❤️🙏
I knew that Akira Takasaki had to be in there before I even watch it! Jeff is one of the big guitarist that still recognise how amazing Akira was along with Paul Gilbert I feel like. Thunder in the east is a beast of an album
Loudness DEFINITELY rocks hard!!!
Along with Marty Friedman
Akira is a good friend of Friedman
Didn't expect him to say Akira Takasaki. I concur. To me that album is one of the best metal tones ever put on record. Probably my favorite. Thunder in the East, Bark at the Moon, In Trance, No Parole From Rock and Roll, pretty much anything by Michael Schenker. Oh yeah, Mick Fuggin Mars' absolutely skull crushing tone on Shout at the Devil actually.
Cacophony - GO OFF!!! was full of amazing tones too. This was a fantastic list. Cool vid, thx!
Jeff is the man. Can’t ever get enough. Anything Jeff, I’m there.
Please please keep the videos coming with Jeff. He's such an awesome guy.
Never heard of Loudness before. Totally digging that album now. Thanks Jeff!
Eric Johnson Cliffs of Dover was so dirty tones!! plus Stevie Ray Vaughn had some phenomenal rough tones!!
Always loved his tone, all these tones he mentioned are so raw that I could see why his tone has the rawness and grit to it as well.
Jesus Christ keep the Loomis content coming fuckin love it
Thanks for the video!!
becker definitely, but also Marty Friedman's clean tone on Scenes
Awesome Jeff! Eddie sound has always been one of the best in the world! Loundness is quite an amazing band and sound! Becker is one of my favorite guitarists alongside you and presumably he has been your big direction shower! Queen, Brian is an awesome guitarist with his own amazing sound! Shencker awesome guitarist! Great video and good commenting! Thank you.
Keep the Loomis videos coming 🔥🔥🤟🤟
spot on!
"The riff" in the river dragon has come combined with the dead heart in a dead world tone is beautiful
Love all of your picks awesome!!
Nice! Love to hear and see Jeff showing his personality. Guy is a MONSTER of a player!
Petrucci's tone on Images and words is 10/10. Nick Johnston is where it's at for modern players
His tone on Awake is even better. Love his organic tone on Falling into Infinity as well
wooow no malmsteen on his list! i didnt expect that at all!
Sweet mention of Loudness Thunder in the East!! One of my top 10 metal albums ever!! Brilliants songs and yes such a unique tone and timbre!
EVH + Jason Becker = 2 Goats
Jeff should cover “Mabel’s Fatal Fable”!
@Death to all marxists Mable is a favourite of mine. So I had to learn the 12/8 section. Needless to say it took “a bit of practice”
I'd love him to cover the entire album, to be fair. His Perpetual Burn cover was excellent, in his studio in the background is a photo of Jason on the wall. You can tell how much of an influence Jason was to Jeff
Yes, Akira is the shit! Glad to hear him name dropped.
Vinnie moore "minds eye"
VH1 - you started this properly but Akira is amazing
Check out Bill Nelson's tone and playing on Be Bop Deluxe's album "Futurama" (released in the mid-70's) A lot of players aren't familiar with Nelson's playing, but he was cited as an influence by Randy Rhoads and others. Incredible lead & rhythm playing and guitar harmonies in a progressive melodic rock context. If the guitar playing in the intro to the first song "Stage Whispers" doesn't blow your mind, I'd be surprised.
excellent selection of albums
Great choises!
Glad to see he has Thunder in the East up there. That album shocked me when it came out. I saw the video on MTV and was immediately struck by the guitar sound and the solo. I went out and got the album and loved everything I heard. Takasaki just did a great synthesis of a few players styles. The record is packed with riffs and solos. I even have a KG Prime in my collection. lol!
Greta to hear Michael Schenker in this list ! His playing is so full of soul, phrasings, bendings and vibratos. All the things that matters when it comes to finding your own tone !
One of my favorites is THEM by king diamond very good tone killer album too
I LOVE seeing talented players geek out over the guitar/tone.
No matter your level of playing your at (I’m a hack🤪). We have a common 🥰 for the rabbit hole we all share and voluntarily dive down.
My top 5 tones
1. David Gilmour/Dark Side of the Moon
2. Wilton,DeGarmo/Rage for Order
3. Dimebag/Far Beyond Driven (most aggressive HANDS DOWN)
4. SRV/Live at el Mocambo
5. Stephen Carpenter/White Pony
I heard Perpetual Burn back in 1988 when it released. I was as blown away as much as I was hearing Malmsteen for the first time.
Narada - Garden Of Love Light (1976)
Raymond Gomez on the guitar. Stunning!!!!!!
Best tone I´ve ever heard.
I completely agree with one addition from the same era. Vivian Campbell on Dio's Holy Diver & Last in Line. My honorable mention is Dimebag on Pantera's Cowboys from Hell album.
YES!!! Akira, Jason and Edward!!!! I had all those (Albums) plus Tony Macalpines "Maximun security" and played them over and over and over!!!....and I'm a drummer!!
The only thing I'd add is George Lynch's tone on Back For The Attack and maybe the first one or two Lynch mob albums, I attribute that to that ever so famous purple Marshall he tried to steal at one point because it sounds so good, there's just something about that amp. Has an interesting story. Also if you like Becker's tone on Perpetual Burn, try the pickup of the same name, it can nail it, and just about anything else. One of the best sounding pickups I've ever bought, and I've bought and got a lot and done a lot of switching around but goddamn that Becker pickup has some sort of dark magic in it that just makes it something that can do anything and you still hear every single note no matter how much gain you run or fuzz it up to the eyeballs. Very reactive to the volume knob and coil split, has even more amazing sounds. It can nail just about any tone you want and harmonics fall out of it like butter at any gain level.
Man, I remember when my guitar teacher, back in 2005 I believe, showed me Serrana Arpeggios from Jason Becker, it was magical.. But when I got home and listened to Altitudes and Air, holy fucking shit, that was the most mind blowing moment.
Oh boy, I still remember the exact experiences you just described like they were yesterday. I was floored. Listened to the Perpetual Burn album and the two Cacophony albums pretty much on repeat for years afterwards, now I have the Becker pickup in a number of guitars because in all honesty it's just a magical pickup, and I got a lot of different pickups in different guitars. You can go as heavy modern metal with it as you want and it retains such incredible clarity, it reacts extremely well to the volume knob, does just about any genre, coil split gives you even more amazing tones, The backstory of how that pickup came to be is rather interesting, it's easy to find, and also included in a number of videos of Danny Young demo'ing some of the pickups tones. I gave away an EMG 80/81 set (I had to run at 18v to stand, then I just threw in my Bill and Becky Bill Lawrence L500XL, Dime's original pickup that SD made the Dimebucker from only the Dimebucker sounds kinda crappy to me. The Becker pickup is even more harmonically rich than the original L500XL that, don't get me wrong, I still love it, it lives in a different guitar now) to a friend for free after getting it, harmonics just fall out of it like butter at any gain level
The use of the cocked wah you talk about in the Schenker section is largely attributed to Mick Ronson. Others had done it but he made it a big part of his sound during the early Bowie work.
Cool!!
MOAR.
I had that MSG album on a vinyl picture disc Japanese import haha. There was a shop near me that always had cool stuff.
Very interesting you mentioned Schenker.
Please have more videos with Jeff in them
Akira no shit! I've been in love with his tone and thought it was special. Glad to hear this confirmed. Listen to 'The Everlasting' absolutely phenomenal tone that punches you in the face!
I'd love to hear Jeff makes some music with Michael Schenker. Joey Sturgis, make it so.
All great picks. I'm all about Becker (have a signature model guitar) and Schenker.
Loomis rules🤘🔥
Yes
Can we get a "Top 5 favorite guitar solos" from Jeff?
Throw in Yngwie and Gilmour and It’d be pretty comprehensive... I also dig Iommi and Rhoads
Akira had a beastly sound. Awesome.guitar.
Jeff Loomis geeking is what i needed without knowing :""")
thank you so much for showering us with content including "the God" every second of watching him is fun I appreciate it a lot.
I thought he would pick Fredrik of Meshuggah. 😁 I like how he always mentions Jason. 🤘
My Greatest Tones Ever:
#1 White Lion - Broken Heart (Mane Attraction)
#2 Marty Friedman - Be (Introduction)
#3 Extreme - Song For Love (Pornograffitti)
#4 Pantera - Cemetery Gates (Cowboys From Hell)
#5 Jason Becker - River Of Longing's Guthrie Govan part
Greg Howe's debut album had a crazy tone to it. Much different than his later change to Fender Dual Showman amps.
I forget how got it. Something to do with a mini Marshall amp plugged through another Marshall head. weird.
Come on Jeff we all know you LOVE Heartwork from Carcass
Jason Becker was amazing he really raised the bar for shredding guitarists with his virtuoso playing so sad he got ALS. 😪
This needed to be thirty minutes longer.
Great choices, I would like to add Skid Row: Slave to the Grind, also killer guitar tones.
I think somewhere in Jeff's list Criss Oliva has a place
Funny how one of Metal's most beloved guitar tones in the world is Nevermore lol
What about George Lynch. His tone always seems really warm and rich to me.
Considering his general taste in tones, I'm wondering how Jeff has never used a boosted/modded Marshall in his career :D.
Scale the summit V album is my favorite tone.
Yes!!!! Akiras tone is mental on TITE. Always thought you must of had wicked taste Jeff. And assault attack. Hell yeah man.
My favorite guitar tone of all time is Ride the Lightning.
Carcass: Heartwork. Hard to beat
funny he used kirk hammett for the schenker example cause schenker is kirks idol
Even though the tone is kinda shit in some ways, the straight dryness and heavyness on AJFA just fits the songs and the album. The tone on Clayman is also so fat and chunky and makes the album sound huge.
Not that anyone asked, but here would be mine (in no particular order):
5). Van Halen 1
4). Metallica's Black Album
3). Nevermore's This Godless Endeavor (or any Nevermore album, really)
2). Dimmu Borgir's Death Cult Armageddon
1). Dream Theater's Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From a Memory
Randy Rhoads diary of a madman interlude riff tone should be here ;)
amazing seck TONHS , for my personally jason becker tone its the best and you miss the greatest tone, the NEVERMORE tone i cant remember the name of the guitarist though haha
yngwies early tone. For some reason I was expecting him to say that lol
This is very lead-centric. Hard to believe he doesn't have a single top 5 favorite tone from a rhythm player.
Lol you're kidding right?
-Metallica - Black Album has the greatest riff sound ever in history.
-First 3 Alice in Chains albums.. I mean yeah I said Black Album has the best tone ever but the recording also makes the difference but Jerry Cantrell has the greatest natural guitar sound in the world for me.
-I'm in love with the tone of "Heaven and Hell", the song itself. That intro sound, my god..
-Opeth-Blackwater Park
-Dream Theater-Awake
I'm actually surprised that Jeff didnt mention yngwie Malmsteen tone in rising force or no parole from rock n roll
syeah Loudness was a great album
Jeff, maybe it's time to do a new cover? like "perpetual burn "
You mean the song? or another song from the album? Because he's already done Perpetual Burn :)
@@DomicidalCovers yeah, he done PB, i mean, new cover for other song for some song, for example Patrick Rondat - Life Force )) or Petrucci, MAB, Gilbert etc.Why don't pro guitarists cover other guitarists at all? especially other styles. They probably play at home, but they can't record it on video
Mountain had the tone,,, queen tried to get that in my opinion
Eddie Van Halen is the American Akira Takasaki
Tusk of jaguar
I'd rank Joe Satriani 's Surfing With the Alien as one of the worst tones in rock guitar history. It sounded like a bunch of Wasps circling through your head
Michael Schenker. His tone in Phenomenon came from a powerlead marshall as far as im concerned.. its almost like a vocal sound or an old synth keyboard trying to mimic the sound of a guitar. Amazing... days of tweaking the knobs on the mixing desk. And the sound in LIPSTICK TRACES?? its ridiculous. 🤣. Its heavenly.. that reverb delay its.. come on.. give me a break.
Loudness - explorer
Check out skinless: trample the week hurdle the dead. My god it’s just nasty
Randy Rhoads Tribute album
Whoever edited this video should have kept the background music playing when the video ended and just made it louder instead of switching back to the intro music.
Yeah. It’s hard with all the stupid copyright rules on TH-cam. At least this way they can’t take our whole video.
Makes sense. Would be kinda funny to get copyright striked for that since it's Jeffs music playing anyway. I just know the part of the song that was about to play before the outright music is good and would have ended the video well lol.
Rad
