.:OT:. Loomis videos from Guitar World

[006]

Just found these videos of Jeff Loomis using his Schecter Hellraiser C7 for his Guitar World column. MMM, I love my Hellraiser even more now. Enjoy.

Yeah, I love those videos. Seeing that all that stuff could be played on the Hellraiser was what partially convinced me to buy one. I still can't play that damned River Dragon solo-interlude up to speed though!

Not me Moonlapse. I played the BlackJack C7 at a store, and loved it, but I wanted EMG's, the sales guy said I should look on Schecter's site, and there was the Hellraiser, anticipated release only a month away. I put an order for one in at DrumCityGuitarLand before they ever came out and coincidentally...I got mine 3 days before any of the stores around here which had ordered them from Schecter months before I did, I love my Hellraiser. And this just makes it *that* much better. Seeing well known guitar players using it makes me even happier about my purchase. Cheers.

Loomis is the man for sure. To be honest, I don't really see what the Hellraiser has to do with his insane playing skills. Loomis would still rip if he played the cheapest pawn shop squier imitation that you could find. I bet my way of thinking is what Schecter's marketing department is trying to defeat

Don't get me wrong though, it is a very nice guitar
And thanks for sharing those videos!

No way dude, sometimes like when I'm asleep at night, I hear the guitar playing the Psalm of Lydia solo in its case. THAT'S how fucking cool it is. Oh yeah.

Ooooooooh the Loomis.......

the loomis is the jason becker of metal.

anyone ever hear those little demos he was doing when he was like 16 or 17? ive got thema round here somewhere...

not to ramble but.. the closer track of godless is phenomenal.

 

[Ermz]

Wasn't Jason Becker the Jason Becker of metal?

 

[EtherForBreakfast]

nah.. jason becker was the wunderkind master sweeper hero of yesteryear and shrapnel times...

loomis just takes becker to the next level with all of the becker licks but puts them into nev..

im pretty sure if you ask loomis who his hero is, he'll say jason becker.

The Psalm of Lydia stuff is pretty easy. That arpeggio thing in the end is just a symmetric pattern. What really messes with me is the note choice for the River Dragon solo-interlude thing. My brain just can't make sense of it, and hence my fingers can't follow

 

[Hammer Bart]

I think that River Dragon bit is so cool! I often use parts of it in my improv solos with a funk/fusion band:

I like to think of it as a tribute to the man rather than a ripoff. And yeah, I know it's pretty sloppy playing

Well it's just a diminished lick with some chromatic lines in it. It's cool though!
