This video is a new and creative shred instructional. You know like on all the others it’s three note per string in two string groups…. Etc. Jeff really gives a great look at this hyper technical style and also he assumes that anyone watching that wants to learn that can so he goes through very advanced licks and even got tritone shred licks. I mean petturci or vinnie Moore, nor Gilbert was that giving with their vids. Anyways over the top 🔝 helpful cool instructional video. All of his are. He even sweeps the other notes of the minor or major arps, you know in between the E and A form sweeps, all side ways and slipping sliding. That Tom coming up with his own method and techniques and approach to make that happen. Sure there are others thst do those, Becker, Jeff expands on that. Lol Jim Hall, the jazzer, does some the sickest extended chord sweep like licks. Damn ole maj 13th sweep arp, now he may only do one or two in any given solo or lead if even. Like he does some on sonny Rollins, “the bridge”, and I don’t know of too head others, I’m guessing one of two solo albums, from 70s. Should I care? Maybe is the name of one, damn I should know this I love those albums. One is like a Spanish word like Latin American Spanish, not old world Spain. Lol ancient maya looking. Anyways funny Jim does those even though he is very minimal in his approach. Not a gilmour, no Jim uses all the notes but he just, go listen I love Jim hall, favorite jazzer, and Django also shredder sweeps and all with two fingers cause of a disability from fire that gave limited movement of all but two finger on fretting hand incredible, he’d be like Jeff here I imagine with four finges.
I don't mean this rudely, but is there something about harmonic minor that is special? It sounds cool but it's used a lot and so it seems a little like a hack scale. Thanks to Yngwie we've all kind of heard harmonic minor to death. Something like what Shawn Lane and Alan Holdsworth did sounds a lot more interesting and a little more outside. Surprisingly, even whole tone scale works well in metal if you use it properly. Fredrik Thordendahl might be a little too outside for me, but you can go beyond harmonic minor and its variants. Mattias IA Eklundh might be a good place to start. I'd say using diminished, melodic minor, Phrygian dominant, etc., produces more interesting sounds than harmonic minor. It's just a matter of matching up the scale intervals with the diatonic harmonized chord scales and seeing what works without dissonance (like with the rare maj11 chord--major 3rd doesn't sound good against the 11th so in jazz it is usually a #11). I'd also recommend the QJamTracks channel for really good lessons on more exotic, outside sounds and how to use them. As far as my own scales, I like using Phrygian with a natural 7, or alternately you can see it as harmonic minor with a flat 2. Then you get three notes chromatically for an interesting sound. Not sure it has a name beyond being considered an altered scale.
I had the hardest time learning from this DVD back in the day. Now, I can clearly see Loomis was gaslighting us with every lick. Every time he plays a lick, he does it differently or he adds sequences to the fast examples that weren't in the slow example. You could say he's using his improvising brain, but these licks were previously written so there's no reason to be unclear about anything especially in a teaching scenario.
"Those who can do, those who can't teach". We are lucky to to get anything like this from him. I would not assign the term "gaslight" as that is intentional deception. He showed you slow. Play it fast anyway you like. As he said in the beginning, make these your own.
@@metalheadblues Agreed. Although I can assure @patrickbeaston3659 and others that Jeff Loomis and all other corporate entities DO gaslight as a part of daily business operations and, for fun, when considering the VOLUMEs of information at hand in demonstrations such as the one at hand, it's probably wisest to NOT expect that every note and nuance will be spoon fed to you. That is not a reason to complain- I don't believe so, anyway.
Same. But now I realise that he never would have actually ever sat down and 'tabbed out' his leads for himself. This and other instructional stuff is probably the only time he does it. I'd suspect he just more has a mental framework of shapes and when you've put so many hours and years into playing everything bar the main theme parts is replaceable within the framework.
Could you site an example in this video where he does this please? I haven’t noticed anything like what you’re saying. Seems to me he mimics his own solos perfectly but maybe I missed something? I can also tell you from years of playing experience and trying to map out my own written songs/solos, that it’s hard to slow it down as weird as that sounds. Now if you want a representation of what you’re talking about go to one of Yngwie Malmsteen’s live shows. THAT guy doesn’t play anything like he did on record. But Loomis doesn’t give me that impression whatsoever. Like I said if you could site an example in this video that would be great thanks.
Those DVD courses are trash. I got the Alexi Laiho one and all he did was play lame ass Dropped-Tuning riffs. I'm so tired of dropped tunings. They are so amateur.
For me it's the extra bass notes I'm not a fan of, I'd take an extra string on the other end for some extra high notes but if I wanted this noise I'd just use a bass
@@FrankFurther Alright, I'll take the bait. That is NOT AT ALL how it works. The 7th string is a low B, 5 notes below standard E. "I'd just use a bass" does not even come close to achieving the same results.
Yeah I personally wish he could have stayed but there’s probably a lot of behind the scenes business stuff involved. I personally love my 7 string Schecter. Also, what if Jackson came at Jeff with an endorsement that was several times more than his Schecter deal you know? Very tough to say no to that I’d bet. But I miss Jeff with Schecter it’s why I got one in the first place.
Yngwie vs. Jeff Loomis - Any input on this? My $$$ is on Jeff all day long. Weenie Palmspeed will play every riff he knows in about 3 minutes and start plagiarizing himself like a broken record. And Jeff will yawn and fugging Crush Him like a grape!
Of course many of the next gen learned from Yngwie, or at least inspired by him, and do their own stuff much better in content (Gilbert Becker, Moore, etc etc.), but at least Jeff here acknowledges first steps via Yngwie influence around 30 min mark.
@@tommilitello198 After Jeffrey dominates Weenie Palmspeed on the Geetar, I'm sure he can beat that fat old man's carcass in boxing, wrestling, the ten meter dash, corn hole....whatever you'd like....as long as it ain't a Hot Dog eating contest....then my money is on Yngwie.
Yngwie isn't even in the same neighborhood as Loomis. He's not even the best player of his own style anymore. Yngwie is the Godfather of neoclassical shred but he's nowhere near the top players in the genre anymore after 40 years of students passing through....

God: ""How insane can one man play?" Jeff Loomis: "Eat this."
Alternative answer to the above question…
Jeff Loomis: Yes.
Like his music, especially during Nevermore period;)
so fantastic
Yes
GD I miss Nevermore
Yea. Still revisit those albums all the time.
Dude can play! jamming!
His stuff is insane!
Yeah. Really good music he does.
I like Nevermore very much. I would like to write music like that myself.

pre Dead heart albums just had cooler leads. well, i like everything better on these albums but the leads especially

I have this. It’s pretty rad

I tried a 7 string guitar and hated it. Probably because I've been playing a 6 string for 44 years and it throws you off.
