I uploaded you another short clip, thank you for the kind words and support. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OV2h-kTEaAw.html Sorry that there isn't more footage
Dude wrecked a string on a Floyd which means it likely jacked up the relative tuning of all the other strings and he just improv’d through it and compensated by ear. What a beast.
@yoteslaya11 Actually I find I get more sustain and resonance with my floyd Rose guitars over my fixed bridge guitars when I install a big brass trem block. You get more high end note clarity (treble) as well which is great for leads. Not sure how the intonation is a problem when the string length can be adjusted to perfection the same as a fixed bridge.
Jeff playing this tune live again must really keep his chops up. I saw him at a clinic with Merrow once and for about the first 30 seconds of technical stuff he was on the verge of being a bit loosey goosey when playing technical passages. then he locked in and played to inhuman perfection the rest of the clinic. So cool to see
Even right after Nevermore split, he had trouble remembering a lot of their lesser played songs. Now that he’s been with Arch Enemy for around 8 years, he’s had to push out a lot of his solo work from his memory bank. You can tell he doesn’t quite play them with the touch he had 14 years ago
@@coffinfeeder7732 to add to it, there was a lesson where he was going over this song and he said it’s one of those “either I get it or I don’t” passages in the song, which is unique for such a perfectionist. I prefer to see the human side myself, which can sometimes be the difference from economy picking mixed with legato vs machine like alternate picking. JP and Jason Richardson comes to mind there. Sometimes a bit too mechanical, if that makes sense
@@dougleydorite Another name that comes to mind on this subject is Yngwie Malmsteen actually. Extremely talented and gifted - but not always perfect like Paul Gilbert, Petrucci, etc.
but it's awesome to see that those guitars gods also make mistakes, it shows that they are real humans too lol , what makes a guitar noob like me to not feel so bad xD
@@NathaliaLimaMusic your skills are above and beyond. Unfortunately people don’t acknowledge an actual play-through.. they are more impressed with the fake stuff. I would highly recommend that you get into recording and join Nail The Mix and in 4-5 years, you’ll be able to write your own ticket. The gear needed to get good results is not expensive.
Brilliant. Jeff's shredding skills are immaculate. There are little to no effects and playing on a tube amp. He played very clean to a difficult to hear backing track. Jeff's songwriting is the best in heavy shred. 10/10
Man I hadn't seen any jeff's performance since prob 2012 of this song, brings so much memories back. Thanks for recording this, now in 2022 with how much everything's changed for all of us, refreshing! :)
Idk if it's me. I like his tone better with the schecter guitars... I know that it's influenced by his playing but the schecter guitar had more that rounded sound and raw power.
Anyone that plays guitar knows how ridiculously hard it is to play a transition like the one at 3:14/3:15 where he goes from the higher frets to the lower...w/o missing a beat....all in time....CLEAN.
Believe it or not : i came there long long before the performance to get the best place. So long before that i really saw dinosaurs and talked to them. (They were really nice and played heavy metal @Heavysaurus #heavysaurus)
The thing that gets me is his string came out of the saddle throwing the whole guitar out of tune, but his true his musicianship and sheer talent as a performer shines most there. He didn't get frazzled by it he keeps it going . And some how got his guitar to keep sounding good afterwards, true craftsman in my eyes of music. Awesome
Ich frage mich, wenn seine Haare in die Saiten kommen und sich umwickeln um die Saiten, schneidet er die Haare ab oder die Saite durch? Das hätte ich gerne mal gewußt....
Cool to see Loomis again. I wish he stayed with Schecter instead of Jackson but ultimately it's choice. For 1k you get one the best guitars for the money. Jackson sells these at like triple the cost. Hope my first 7 string is Loomis' Schecter
im just a new fan of arch enemy .about 4 years i think ? and this sounds way waaaay more badass than what AE sounds now .they sound too generic nowadays .border line boring and the pattern of song writing seems off ..i know that michael ammot is also good ( back then ) but just let this man do his thing on the song writing part .sorry for my bad english
Always wondered why JL never uses the neck pick-up. All of his guitars had neck pick-ups but he never used them, not even when playing cleans. His shredding (especially in this video ) would sound much better on the neck pickup
I will sound old but i prefer this kind of shredding, just good old fast picking, some sweeps, nice slow breaks. Nowadays its goes too much over the top that you cant comprehend it anymore
You know that's his signature Jackson, right? It was made with the specs of his liking. I'm sure he loved playing it just as much as his old Schecters. Personally, I've never been a fan of Schecter. The necks on Jacksons are much smoother and faster, imo.
