So I heard some rumors here and there and now its finally here:)

Jeff is IMO one of the best guitarists in the world - you know, that kind of guy, he can talk like a mere mortal, knows theory as jazz god, plays like beast and his technique is just Godly.. Those sweeps he plays here are IMO SO ORIGINAL.. you know, its not just standart up and down but he really plays with it... I must get this:)



And now the best part - it costs 10.00$...

Really cool.... Maybe i should buy it

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Mar 30 2009, 12:24 PM

Looks pretty cool! It's not my style, but looks nicely made. Anyone know the price?

Posted by: Artemus Mar 30 2009, 12:24 PM

Ah cool. I do have lots of respect for Loomis and his work in Nevermore. I'll have to check this out when I can. Thanks for sharing

Posted by: Jerry Arcidiacono Mar 30 2009, 12:29 PM

It looks really cool, I will check the DVD in the future.

Posted by: Jakub Luptovec Mar 30 2009, 12:53 PM

@ Ivan: Its 10 bucks - sure buy for me, once it gets into this small toilet, called Czech Rep. in middle of Europe... Gold heart of Europe? Pche.. Everything is here too late and too expensive:D

Btw. What I Dont like on it is the background... It seems too chaotical for me. Just plain couch and some wall with nice pictures would look so much more professional...

I ordered it when it came out and it's great! Just a little short...

Posted by: Guitarman700 Mar 30 2009, 01:02 PM

Got it Yesterday. Freakin sweet. And i have lots of time to practice it over spring break!

Posted by: AlexLion Mar 30 2009, 01:37 PM

10$? o_O i need to get that..

Posted by: 29a Mar 30 2009, 02:02 PM

I want it. But I don't have a credit card and shipping + import taxes is probably going to cost me a fortune. Why is there now downloadable version

Yes, I will!

Posted by: Jakub Luptovec Mar 30 2009, 02:17 PM

You will what?

Posted by: DeepRoots Mar 30 2009, 02:21 PM

I have it and must say it's pretty cool. A must-buy if you're a fan I can go into more details about whats on it if somebody is considering buying it.

Posted by: Jakub Luptovec Mar 30 2009, 02:26 PM

Deep: Is there something about his picking technique etc(that talking kinda stuff, that David Wallimann does in his lessons) , or its just about theory stuff/his favourite shapes/patterns and its uses in his songs?

Posted by: DeepRoots Mar 30 2009, 02:55 PM

Its mostly about favourite shapes and patterns etc- though he does throw in a few bit of advice like try starting on an upstroke and staying relaxed while picking, probably nothing you haven't already heard though.

Posted by: Praetorian Mar 30 2009, 03:07 PM

Wow...that guy plays clean!

Posted by: audiopaal Mar 30 2009, 03:37 PM

Nice, I gotta get that

Posted by: David Wallimann Mar 30 2009, 03:55 PM

Wow, that's cheap for that kind of DVD,
Thanks for the link!
Jeff is amazing...

Posted by: Emir Hot Mar 30 2009, 03:56 PM

Sounds great !

Posted by: Pedja Simovic Mar 30 2009, 04:41 PM

I like a lot some of the runs I heard in there. Definitely worth checking out in my opinion !

Posted by: Marcus Siepen Mar 30 2009, 05:45 PM

Jeff is one of the most talented players I have ever met. Back in 1995 Nevermore were opening up for us in Europe and I was blown away by his playing.

Posted by: Jakub Luptovec Mar 30 2009, 05:47 PM

Yes yes, Jeff is awesome indeed:) I already learned a bit from Jato unit - a lot slower than he plays it, but it has very creative ways of using even the most basic sweep shapes, so it sounds beautufil, looks complicated and is easy to use

Posted by: Marcus Siepen Mar 30 2009, 05:56 PM

Just ordered the DVD, shipping to Germany was only 4,75 bucks, thats a great price for such a DVD

Posted by: Jakub Luptovec Mar 30 2009, 05:58 PM

:-O Where? (which web)

Posted by: AlexLion Mar 30 2009, 06:17 PM

You didn`t watch trailer accurately http://secure.nps1.net/guitarworld/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=35

Posted by: Marcus Siepen Mar 31 2009, 06:43 PM

True, you can find out the address at the end of the trailer, or you just use google My DVD was shipped today

Posted by: Lian Gerbino Mar 31 2009, 06:47 PM

yeah, he´s an awesome guitar player! and this DVD must be killer!

Posted by: Pedja Simovic Apr 1 2009, 12:47 AM

Awesome Jakub man !
Post a video when you can so I can check out how you are doing

Posted by: Jakub Luptovec Apr 1 2009, 08:26 AM

@Pedja: :-O I didnt think, anyone will be interested in this:D Right after I get home from school, I will make a upload for you:)

I appreciate your interest very much:) Just dont expect it, to be fluid, not even talking about clean:D He is unbelievably skilled player and I am just 1.5 year playing apprentice

Posted by: slash48 Apr 2 2009, 09:03 PM

I wouldn't suggest buying the dvd if you don't have a seven string guitar because more than half the stuff Jeff Loomis plays in it is for seven string guitars. but it is a very well put together DVD.

Posted by: Schumi Jr Apr 3 2009, 12:39 AM

Yeah, I'm totally on the fence on this one myself. I've loved Jeff's playing ever since I heard him in Sanctuary in the early 90's... and I really love his new solo album. But sadly I sold my only 7-string a few months ago (decided I have enough problems with 6 strings lol) and already have too many other DVD's, GMC lessons, and books/cds to keep me busy. But just knowing that this DVD is out there... ugh... I'm sure I'll cave eventually (after I track down the person I sold my 7-string to and beg for it back!).

Posted by: Pedja Simovic Apr 3 2009, 12:49 AM

I would like to hear it slowly
There were some nice lines in there. Does he demonstrate it in his video ?

Posted by: Jakub Luptovec Apr 5 2009, 04:38 PM

It will take me a bit more time, than expected, since we are changing internet provider and thus I am off net for some time...

Posted by: TreyDeschamp Apr 5 2009, 04:44 PM

I love this DVD I bought it like a month ago at the grocery store actually haha.

Posted by: kjutte May 6 2009, 07:49 PM

YOU like loomis?

Posted by: Jakub Luptovec May 6 2009, 07:55 PM

Yes, I was surprised too, but Pedja is shredder in disguise :NINJA:

Posted by: ErikEklund May 6 2009, 07:58 PM

cool video

Posted by: Alexiaden93 May 7 2009, 04:11 PM

Wow, this guy really masters shred guitar ! I hadn't actually heard of him until now !

Posted by: kjutte May 10 2009, 01:53 PM

I downloaded it, and it wasn't very cool :/
