That's the chorus riff for "Born", and yes, it's one of the greatest chorus's and riff's ever written. It's also quite challenging and fun to play. I like how they start cheering at the diminished arrpegios at the end of the Born solo. That part is almost impossible but he makes it look easy here.
This was the video where I first found out about him. My jaw dropped to the floor.. I was like how the heck did I not know about this guy!? Amazing musician.
What I like the most about Jeff Loomis is that he's not afraid to do what a lot of guitar snobs would consider "amateur", like using open strings in the tapping riff at 1:16. He doesn't let the fact that he's a skilled guitarist get in the way of exploring all of the possibilities with the guitar.
Damn, where the hell was I when this happened??? What a awesome fk'n vid, man! You were right in his face for the ultimate shred clinic! All his best solos in one kick ass compilation. Thanks for posting that!
Hahaha! One of the best comments on TH-cam right there my friend! On another note, Loomis' technique is incredible, how does he manage to pick/tap/sweep etc. with so much precision. Amazing.
jeff has changed the way i play diminished arpeggios. he really tests them to the extreme. his arpeggio use is very innovative like that of jason becker.
@HeavyMetalVagabond I'm glad you liked Timewarp. Over the Mountains always melts my face though and soulmates is a super slick song with excellent phrasing and awesome choice of notes
i didn't listen to metal for like 7 years, then i heard loomis' solo album. thank god he's making another one. i don't know what else to listen to. wouldn't mind if he broadened his genre though. He's obviously capable of it, but that's just me, whatever caulks your wagon.
Jeff is awesome...he has all the major bases covered which is quite rare...rhythm,lead,melody,phrasing and composition. Many guys can "shred" old Yngwie licks faster than Yngwie himself but they can't play rhythm guitar and/or write a decent riff to save their lives. Jeff is an exception...he is raising the bar for metal players in a positive way.
Just great playing and such an nice ear for melody! I myself play the guitar in a metal band, doing ok, but not near this godlike skills.. If i ever becomes realy great at the guiter i would play solos like this.. actually the soll at the end is one of my favourites when i want to pick out the greates solos for newbies or just some one who hasn´t heard Nevermore before.. simply amazing.. sorry for the bad spelling guys
Jeef Loomis is ,with NO dought,a brise of fresh air on the "new" guitar players.This guy is a fuckin'animal!Very good taste on is criations,technicaly amazing and very humble!Cheers for Jeef Loomis!

This can never be said enough:
Jeff Loomis is a badass.

It's not just the playing but the attitude while shredding so tastily. Jeff's the man

the guy at the very end of the video "WE'RE NOT WORTHY!"
M sure it's you
I litteraly laugh out loud hearing it!! Hahahaha
Shit, time to go listen to every Nevermore song
loomis' chops are not even human. this guy is still so young and is so ahead of his years...
Ah excellent. I love how he goes through heaps of solos one after the other. Great clip, you can tell those in the crowd are enjoying it.
I will never underestimate anyone I see with a Visitor's pass at NAMM after seeing this.

i didn't listen to metal for like 7 years, then i heard loomis' solo album. thank god he's making another one. i don't know what else to listen to. wouldn't mind if he broadened his genre though. He's obviously capable of it, but that's just me, whatever caulks your wagon.
ive seen him play it live perfectly...

Jeff is so underratted.
Jeff Loomis is the man.
jeff loomis in my eyes The best guitar player in my world.
Agreed. Jeff Loomis is the best. No question, he can write really fuckin well and can widdle just as good or even better than everyone else.
Loomis is a heavy metal Messiah! 🤘
It's born from their latest album, this godless endeavor
:O weyyyy el mejor guitarrista que hay!!!!Sin duda alguna.
i swear before i die i will learn all of his songs
Amazing! This guy must have been shredding right out of the womb.
i just got a loomis signature!!! its soooo sick
THE MAN!
wow. that it lterally mesmerizing
60fps is not enough
that's the chorus of Born! and it's just amazing!
what song is the first thing he plays w/ the tapping?
The final comment "we're not worthy" has never rung so true.
sure hope he's at NAMM 2009 i'll be there rocking out
From 196s to 229s is just godlike skills!!!
Jeff Loomis is insane each of his fingers has a mind of its own. Cant wait for Wacken Open Air 09
God Jeff is awesome. Freakin love him man, he plays Schecters just like me. :)
this guy is the only guy left in metal besides paul gilbert that can still come up with fresh original stuff.
These 4 songs he plays are probably Nevermore's best solos merged into 1
what song is it that he is playing from 3:50 to 4:25?
amazing shred max
Loomis=Amazing
The last one was the best. The solo for This Godless Endeavor is amazing, probably one of his best, if not his best.
Jeff is a guitar God for sure
Anybody wanna tell me what song its in on the opening tapping part. I know that I've heard it, just can't place it
can anyone please tell me the name of the song at the end of this video, heaviest riff i ever heard!!! it s right at the end
Jeef Loomis is ,with NO dought,a brise of fresh air on the "new" guitar players.This guy is a fuckin'animal!Very good taste on is criations,technicaly amazing and very humble!Cheers for Jeef Loomis!
