I've heard that Mr. Loomis doesn't like the people who post random crap on this forum and all that, but I was hoping maybe you could get him to answer a serious question for me. I was wondering what kind of modes/sweeping patterns he uses to get that ultra-badass sound on his solos and leads. A lot of his sweeps sound very diminished and a little bit of it sounds like the melodic minor to me but I really don't know. This would be one kick-ass favor and I would be forever indebted to you if you could hook me up with this info if at all possible. Thank you very much for even reading this.
