Antropzs💯😇🎃🤠🤔
-Who is your favorite guitar player?
Others :- slash, synister Gates, kirk Hamet.
Me:Andy James 🙌
Who in their right mind would dislike something as beutiful as this?
I don't understand why people who are so talented like this aren't as famous as those who don't have even half this skill.
He needs blond hair and boobs.. like Nita Strauss
nowdays andy is in five finger dead punch and plays shows with metallica 🤘
Jfc, 10 years already? Been listening to this song so much that I missed the fact that it was released so long ago. Andy's music makes time fly.
The album that the song is on was released in 2011, 12 years ago. Best album. Raw pure Andy James.
And im still unable to play this!
It's absolutely amazing to see Andy play! Some people may think he is emotionless because he doesn't do to much of those weird faces guitar players use to make, but believe me, if you were to play something like this masterpiece, you would be so concentrated that those faces would be almost impossible to make! However... if we look closely, Andy does something pretty astonishing. By looking at him during the entire video instead of the guitar you'll be able to see his jaw muscle tightening with the music. Even his headbang is expressive... This tells me that the guitar player is, not only aware of what he's doing but that he is completely conscious of the song, what is being played and what comes next. This guy is phenomenal!
as you have said, smiling playing face is bullshit, just go and check out instagram boobies guitar girls players , stupid faces and playing awful ... in the other hand playing such a high level virtuoso style must be very focused and concentrated
Bruh, that yes, but also the little 'pick hand' thumb adjustments that he makes here and there, wild!!! The amount of pick control that he speaks on learning from Shawn Lane (snap picking)... He's insane
He is legend, this song is one of the hardest songs that i ever played in my life, I tried to learn this song on Rocksmith 2014 and i only had 36%.. xD
i didn`t know that Ragnar Lodbrok kicks ass on guitar. wow. Such Viking, very solo!
I'm thinking Jax Teller. Just sayin'...
+Anaximander29A Was gonna make this exact comment :D Spot on, friend!
Amazing that this godlike performance is free to us...
@MetalicBluz It is accurate, I okay'd it lol. Your obviously not understanding the tab is for the album version not the video. If you wanna learn the video version then watch it and figure it. It will make you a better player
the rhythm riff at 4:05 is the bees knees, one of the best feels i've ever heard out of all metal
His facial expressions rule. Sometimes they say "Maybe, maybe", and others are like "Nice". Sometimes they say "I am totally THE shit." He is correct.
Thor Thunderlungs was just thinking the same thing haha. His face says it all
Not that I ever thought Andy was anything less, but this composition and performance cemented him in my mind as one of the best ever.
Breathtaking as usual... but this tapping was totally insane! Never ever heard anything so clean and beautiful. Sick!
It's sad that a guitarist like Andy James is underrated. He should be invited in G3 and jam with Petrucci, Vai and Satriani.
I get a feeling it has to happen soon, this vids at a million hits now.
Andy james no 1
Up
I totally agree with the G3 tour having AJ on it. His style surpasses Steve and Joe though. Kind of like when Guthrie joined them. It was phenomenal how Steve and Joe had total command of the instrument, then Guthrie comes out and it's like God came to play. At 45yo, it's amazing to me to see how players have progressed, as well as how standards of main stream music have turned to crap.
Agreed!
This guy really knows how to boost my domaninergic system to the highest level.
Amazing guitarist,No words
"download backing track and tab now" hmm i'd love to when i'm reborn as Steve Vai!
The tapping part its just magic
The string skipping riff at about 3½ minutes into the song is by far my favorite string skipping warmup/practice ever. Everytime I play it, other guitarists are like WTF? And I point them to this video for like the last 10 years or so.
He really is underrated probably the best ever
whole lot o technique in there...and flawless
Whenever Chuck Norris hits someone with a falcon punch, this music plays.
THIS!!! ^^
maeboh yo ang gimao
He makes it look easy, Elaborate tapping, and some kickass pedal points too. He's a credit to the genre!! Like a freakin' machine!!!
"I’m proud to say that I’m Officially signed to Kiesel Guitars. Very much looking forward to working with Jeff Kiesel and his amazing team moving forward in 2018 and beyond ." - Andy James - Facebook post 02/20/2018. Thank you for the upload.
If I hadn't known that he was english, I could've sworn him to be the Norse God of metal.
Most Englishmen are of Norse descent. That's due to Wallace taking over England. It's where the blue-eyed blonde haired Englishmen come from and most people in England carry the recessive gene for blue eyes and blonde hair.
Us norsemen were born with guitars in hand, obviously.
mxmeta Looks pagan indeed ;p /,,/
mxmeta He's the guitarist version of Ragner Lothbrok,he even wields an axe.
Oh and John Petrucci looks like Rollo,lately. xD
noah odum I'm half danish and can confirm that last part :D
Andy and swisgar Swigelf (taller than a tree) should have a jam session to prove to odin who is worthy to rock to the warriors of Valhalla and Asgard.
For real this guy is top the way he incorporates shred with the beautiful melodic melodies he combines to make songs is incredible he really is top in my book and yes it has too much feel it’s insane
This guy is so good to watch.
This is sick! You are one of the best that ever lived! Long live Andy James!
Vey... Eu vejo esse vídeo desde que ele foi lançado aqui, uns 10 anos atrás, e sempre me impressiono! Foda demais.
Cara eu também kkk mt louco
Idem
Eu também
Awesome. He is absolutely the servant of metal . .
metal is his bitch, come on man, get your ear-shit together :P
Alwan Rosyidi huh, he rules over all that is Metal. He’s no servant.
I get the chills every time I view this... Absolute beast on the guitar...
Andy James, you truly are an inspiration.
this song touched my heart and my soul, holy shit, that amazing.
2:06 reminds me of the main lick from Building The Church by Steve Vai
The greatest. He's a freaking legend. Face melting, beyond sick🔥
Finest guitarist of the decade.Very clean sound and hell of techniques he uses out there.Salute u bro Andy
John Petrucci + Zakky Wylde = Andy James
wow totally agreed
Wow! What an amazing performance!
He is the perfect creation from the Guitar Gods, sent to us to share his amazing gift!
Genius.
And then there are people who say Zakk is good musician.. THIS is good, real, intelligent shred playing that is actually really really good. Cheers
Wenn man Andy spielen sieht dann könnte man denken er macht nur seinen Job. Man sieht keine Leidenschaft beim Spielen ABER wer so spielt liebt was er tut. Absolut fantastische Riffs. Ein Gigant an der Gitarre mit Potential zur Legende!!! I'm in fcking Love with this Song!!!
Amazing and inspiring! 53 seconds is unreal! Andy James, I must say you are progressing guitar in a new and innovative direction.
the melody of this is so fucking beutiful and reminds me of some old stuff Tony Macalpine did...love it.
I have been forever changed, as a guitar player and a person. But I am confused and wondering what in the hell those other 67 people were watching.
Absolutely stunning!!!
My favorite song from Andy, it's very welcome on my soundsystem for years already. :)
If that video doesnt put a smile on your face you know its time to take up ukulele.......
Did you sold your soul to devil to be able to play like this? 'Cause this is insane!!
Andy James ,é fantástico!!!!!!
Andy you simply keeping my brain to liquid. LOVE this.
77 people rotated their screen by 180° to give the thumb up twice :D
i like more this version than the record one :D!!
Andy just gets better and better....I love the way he shreds.
this is a masterpiece, you're a genius Andy james
This is what happens when Ragnar Lothbrock meets guitar
Thagirion I’m watching Vikings again and everytime I hear this or “burn it down” that’s all I can think of haha
Woooow!
Show (literalmente)!
nice
I feel on fire when listening this song 🔥
Good Job Andy James ❤
this song is 1 of THE best songs i ever heard
there's some kind of 'dark magic' beyond the 1:13 tapping. It's impossible to play it so clean! XD
It's not impossible...
If you're Andy James, that is
No man, it just takes practice. It's a tap harmonic. It took me a few minutes to perfect it once I learned the sequence, which is the difficult part to learn, and to keep the time as well. Keep practicing, you'll get it.
OK seriously! How does he get that tone?
with a guitar
yan ya Very inquisitive reply my dear sir. Thank you for answering my question.
Tony Silva
you're welcome
He is using many effects to create the tone. Drive Pedal, Compression Pedal, Delay Pedal, Reverb, Maybe using very very minimal Chorus aswell, but not enough for us to hear, just enough to effect the EQ. You might want to check out what amp/Pick-ups he is using as that effects the tone aswell.
Pedals can be expensive so I use a Line 6 POD 2.0 & Boss GT-8 multi effects processors. I can get most tones by using one or the other. I use an Ibanez PGM for most of my metal stuff. & I use a Fender strat for a more lighter tone. I have put in custom pickups for both guitars to give me better sustain. nothing worse than stock-pickups struggling.
StrothTV Oh Just to add, This tone sounds pretty close to Michael Angelo Batio's standard tone. so check his gear out too. Might give you a better idea how to dial in the tone you want
Godlike. I've strived for many years to reach your brilliance. Still tryin
been about a year since i first saw this vid, its still the most impressive piece of shred music ive ever heard by a mile, the licks make me want to throw my guitar out the window while at the same time make me want to practice 10 hours a day, andy your an inspiration o us all!
Ey, God wants his hands back
I think Andy James and Jeff Loomis should make a baby!!
HAHA!! I'm agree!! Both are gods of metal!! You mixt the arpeggio and rythm technique of Loomis with the tapping and phrasing of Andy! You would have the Ultimate Metal guitar player of all times!!
that would be overkill. their kid would rock so hard that it would put humanity in danger
the pre-verse section is insane, i love it
I cried when I see him play...hail Andy James
He will be mine, oh yes, he will be mine
4:45 :) face express
Andy sos magnífico!!!, Exelente todo tu trabajo.
unbelievable..AMAZING!
Mr. Petrucci, this guy achieved reverse of time reverse
+Pavlos Pavlou petrucci is a rookie front of him..
andy is unique
+XDX your statement is retarded
berkin gergin
you think so?
i know personal 3 guitarist who are better than any famous guitar player
berkin gergin to write a song dont make you the best guitar player
+XDX "i know personal 3 guitarist who are better than any famous guitar player" I actually lol'd. I want whatever you are smoking, my friend, 'cause that statement is just plain retarded. I highly doubt that any of your "personal 3 guitarist " could outplay even someone like Stevie Ray. This is the internet; proof or it did not happen, champ.
"to write a song dont make you the best guitar player" so you can actually be the "best guitar player" without writing a single song? Are you even reading what you are posting? How can you be the best when your fanbase is the local Guitar Center or a small group of friends. The best to YOU, maybe, and that would be fair to say. But to just say "best" is moronic. No one single player is the absolute "best".
And you should probably listen to LTE before you shit on Petrucci. If you were truly familiar with him, you wouldn't be saying he is a rookie compared to Andy James. Two different playing styles and genres of music. You wouldn't compare Alvin Lee to Johnny Winter.
Really you just sound like a jealous, casual guitar player who bought a $700 guitar 15 years ago and never learned past Smoke on the Water chord progressions.
Chills....chills all over my body.
Gorgeous tone!
He uses his pinkie so rarely it's so weird
Big hands long fingers. He doesn't need his pinky as much, I think.
i think it's much about preference
I play the same way. My dad use to say I had alien hands and fingers. lol
My ring ringer stretches like 5 frets with no problem plus its much stronger leading to cleaner note when used. But not all licks allow you to not use your pinkie.
from what i have heard from one of his DVD tutorial video, having blues his primary influence in which the left hand is slanted towards the body and basically where the pinky is rarely used since that finger is actually where the slider is placed, allowed him to play in that particular manner.
You are all wrong.He mentioned in an interview that he broke it or something like that and he can`t use it that much now,if at all.
Someone tell me of one of his songs where he plays slow or melodic? Like with heart? Cuz don't get me wrong this dude is sick af... But you know how many people can shred? I wanna hear some soulful melodic soloing
time and time again
shredding can be soulful and melodic aswell, it can be even more melodic actualy (because there are more notes, more melodies obviously) in the hands of any talented shredder
60millionaire time and time again was exactly what i was looking for haha :P
What lies Beneath is such a melodic and beautiful song... Just listen and change your mind.
You want something melodic? and with heart? what have you been listening for 6:11 minutes?It has all of that in spades.If again you are one of those people that think soul and heart lies within only bluesy playing and resuffled doublestopy-bendy licks that have been done to death then obviously this video isnt for you....
Vejo isso fazem 6 anos e sempre me impressiono… é realmente incrível essa pegada
Absolutely Amazing!
speed 1.5 is how he original played it but he slowed it down because no one watched it
I was looking for Justin Bieber... But I guess this will do
I've done a few shows with Andy's old band Sacred Mother Tongue, and Andy is genuinely a really nice down the earth guy. Very humble in what he does, and is, you know, half decent at guitar too......
Coming back after so many years damnn
He has amazing technical ability but I would never listen to this. Music is for your ears and not your eyes and this sounds stale- there are no dynamics. I feel like he has the skill to be one of the best but less is sometimes more.
I agree, I'd take a non technical player like Slash over this any day.
I can see where you're coming from. Me personally, I like to listen to technical stuff like this. I think Andy James is a phenominal guitarist. Slash is cool and all, and I like him a lot. But like the other guy said, he's not very technical.
I seriously am confused by you saying you would never listen to this? If you are a fan of good guitar music than i have a hard time understanding who you could not like this.
Music is for your ears indeed, and my ears love this. Each to his own I guess.
That is an opinion I guess. There's a lot of shredders' trash nowadays, but besides some heartless parts in Andy James' music, a lot of his songs are very melodic. But maybe that's just me.
Amazing❤❤❤❤
shredding with musicality.. a rare site these days
I could be wrong, but i believe Andy spent most of his time making stuff like this - Lessons, backing tracks and in general spending his talent to earn money directly, without relying on album sales.
Regardless, he deserves to be just as well known :)
That riff at 1:13, gives me the sensation of floating through the clouds collecting coins 🪙
Andy James you rock!
Seriously WTF!!! This one take, is blowing my mind!!!
Andy James for president !!
This man definitely knows his guitar!!! Awesome technique and speed!
Andy , guitarrista virtuosissimo,, conquista
cada vez mais rapido o espaço da musica mundial ... Parabens Andy James
