    This is why AJ is one of the best. Everything here is tasteful, melodic, and creative. He's not just wanking on random scales or trying to impress anyone with mindless shred. Every note has a purpose and it all flows together seamlessly. The scary part is that he keeps getting better.

    Its amazing how on every video of someone shredding there are always a bunch of comments of people criticizing technique but yet they arent the ones with videos of them featured shredding... I just don't understand. I would think if everyone was as great of a player as they act behind the comments on youtube, they would have their own videos showcasing THEM!

      It is mere jealousy on their part. It takes hard work to reach this level of skill which most of those criticizing can't do.

    I've been playing for 28 years and these "newer" players are really inspirational to me to push myself with new techniques and become a better player. Learning from the BEST always makes you a better musician IMO, so don't shy away and get discouraged. You can learn something from all types of players!!

    ESP/EMG has a great pride and joy, and that's Andy James. Personally, out of all the musicians we have in this generation now, I personally think he's the best. His technique is so spectacular, and his melodic shreds just leave me in awh. Andy James has my 100% support! I look forward to seeing him with his band touring the U.S.

  • @TylerGraybeal4

    Andy James is the fucking man. I first heard this song in a live video and had no idea what it was called. I texted the video to Andy on Instagram, asking him what the song was. Within an hour he responded. He’s a god like no other.

    Youre exactly right, anyone who spends as long as andy james did on guitar is bound to get to where they want to be one day, never say you cant do it, when I first heard angel of darkness I was iike maybe in 5 years ill play it, im 15 turning 16 and 3 months later of practicing it I could play the whole song, not perfectly, but I could nail each part individually pretty close to perfect. Think of andy james playing as something to look forward to being able to do on yourjourneytobeingaguitargod.

    Andy James is most definitely one of the most skilled guitarists ever. Not like there is any shortage of technical guitarists out there. But Andy's compositions are much more than a "technical display;" They are full and rich.

      No doubt. Probably one of the best guitar players period... Metal or otherwise. For some reason I don't think he would have a problem playing a bluesy pentatonic scale.

    • @blazereviews6374
      @blazereviews6374 Před 7 lety +1

      Petrucci was amazing in the Images And Words time (in terms of technique). The best melodic Petrucci was in Scenes From A Memory. Today Petrucci hasn't made an outstanding song or solo, unfortunately. Maybe The Best Of Times but out of that, nothing more.
      Andy in terms of technique is just a beast.

    • @virnalinebrida-sunga7748
      @virnalinebrida-sunga7748 Před 7 lety +3

      BlazeReviews to be fair, petrucci is in a band, people dont come just for petrucci but dream theater, and that is why he doesnt always need to show off his skills as often, unlike andy who has all the time in the world to do what he does best

    • @pzdipuing
      @pzdipuing Před 5 lety

      Petruci is way beter to b honst he uses lot of chord changes n play in different time signature but andy use mostly minor chord1,6,4,etc and play mostly in 4/4 no doubt he is also one of great shredder like(jeff loomis,chris boderick,rusty cooly,kiko loureiro but kiko is too gd to b compared etc
