#shred #guitar #lesson How To Play Born by NEVERMORE I had a lot of fun shooting this video and thought you all would like to see it! Links are coming soon so check back!
It really was a milestone in my understanding of what "metal" can contain without getting overloaded with nonsense. It is heavy as fuck, melodic, brutal, calm, frenzied, virtuosic, simple, et cetera, but there's a thread running through the whole thing that ties it together perfectly. Plus, the riff at 5:53 in the title track is damn well the best riff that ever was!
It's so refreshing to see Jeff visit these old Nevermore songs! Loved Nevermore and love Jeff's playing but we have been starved of some awesome content. Glad to see some of these being played.
Not just how to play it but the thought process behind HOW you came up with it is just as important, if not more important than learning the actual riff itself and is something rarely talked in most artist lessons. Born was my favorite track off the LP, but Dreaming Neon Black is one of my all time favorite albums. Also a huge fan of Andy and Sabbat. 🍻
That's an often overlooked detail with these videos. This is very important for everyone, especially beginners whom may of not learned much guitar yet... I know when I started. I fundamentally didn't understand this stuff and most guitarists who 'break down' their songs never go more depth beyond just playing it.
Bought this signature 7 for my 24th birthday this year. Absolutely monstrous guitar. Performed the River Dragon Has Come, and a few other songs, as an opening act for my dad and it was a great time.
A true master of his craft. He has the technical ability to play fast and precise, but also the humbleness to listen to others and try to change things up. A true great.
The riffing you did ESPECIALLY on TGE is IMO some of the best metal riffing ever written. I love every second of it. Thank you for sharing your thought behind the riffs, and how we can attempt to learn them.
Wow what a great song and Jeff is one of the best guitarist and songwriters ever! Really hope he starts his own band one day! I know it probably gets old but a hired gun in Arch Enemy just doesn’t cut it for someone of his talent! He is honestly no exaggeration more talented than that entire band put together! I really miss his unique songwriting genius and I really don’t want to hear anymore instrumentals either Lol! I think he’d be surprised of the following he would get if he started his own band! Not only metal fans but you’ve got to realize every single guitar player who likes metal would buy his stuff blindly! I truly don’t believe Jeff realizes the impact his playing has had on people? Almost every metal guitar player I know mentions Jeff Loomis as either their favorite or top five guitarists!
When I go to the show of Nevermore in Japan and saw your solo of this song, I was impressed and almost crying. This solo is very dramatic and perfect in melody and technique!! I love it!! I’m one of fun in Japan!!
I remember around 2008 my friend grinding this song a ton and then we went to Tuska festival to see Nevermore. What a great time that was. The song is also kickass.
Great to see this lesson, Jeff! Would you teach us "Next in line" in the future? First Nevermore song I ever heard, that string skipping riff blew me away
"What tomorrow knows" live version have an awesome chorus riff as well! Thank you for the tips, when i studies some music i like to figure out how the composer done the part, how he thinked and this was very helpfull ( nice to have great musician friends to give you some ideias. RIP Warrel)
The first time I heard of you was when you did an instructional piece for " The river dragon has come" for Guitar world magazine (Remember those, lol). But as a beginner guitar player it was very much out of my wheelhouse, fast forward a few years and I'm knee deep learning Death and Cynic tunes when I pick up a new release from a band I'd never heard of "This Godless endeavour" from a music shop that's closed down since. This song, opening that album, I was like "Holy shit". It's just fantastic playing and production from everyone involved. Thanks Mr Loomis.
Greatest metal guitarist making the greatest metal albums showing one of the greatest riffs of one of the greatest songs..🤘👏👏👏👏 Thank you for visiting your extensive catalog of greatness lately..
I find it refreshing that he's just showing everybody how to play it in standard tuning. On the recording it's a half step down (if you're wondering why it sounds terrible to play along with the record) [G#, E, C#, D#] if you wanna play along.
Fantastic lesson! I'd love to see many more like this for Nevermore or solo songs. One note: I think recording in 60 fps would be beneficial to the viewer.
Please let it coming ! Exactly those lessons are ones that bring me further on ! Keep it up @Jeff Loomis ! Maybe you should consider playing in a band but bedroom.
I Thank you so much in sharing the details of the song writing of this masterpiece. I always wonder how masterpieces like this are made but noone shares like you did here 2:37 hero
