Perfectly said!!!!! That's what I have always thought of him as well. He's not just a one trick pony highlight reel shredder. His shredding is properly placed in spots along with rhythms and melodies. That's what makes him so elite in my opinion.
Silky runs.. tasty licks.. enough crunch to satisfy the Cookie Monster... On a serious note.. If you haven't heard his solo stuff, Andy James will be your new favorite guitarist when you do..
@@gouedallica nope. He sounds just like this live actually better. Seen him 6 times live. By far the best live guitarists I've seen. He really is just ridiculously talented.
I'm not saying you're wrong here but as a matter of fact "practice practice practice" is a little bit overrated and being gone extreme with by most of guitar players, that's why most of them give up on guitar convinced practice isn't getting them anywhere which is true, simply because you need to know where you're headed and most importantly HOW to get there the fastet/smartest way possible before you even begin to think of warming your hands up for practicing, in order for you not to be mindlessly practicing given exercises without paying any attention to your technique which is actually the thing that makes your playing happen, and in case you're not lucky enough to be randomly doing it right, you're not getting anywhere again, like most guitar players nowadays. So stop wasting your time if you're a struggling self taught guitarist and look for Mike philippov or Tom hess on RUclips because they're Gods not teachers, or look for a good teacher to help you face to face, plenty out there..
FFDP are very fortunate to have Andy as the best guitar player in the world I know of only a very few great guitar player but reall Andy is a perfectionists give him the time to let whoever listens gets an Understanding of the power of a one man band cause it doesn't get any better
I’m glad I’m one of the first people to see this. Been an Andy James fan for years now and it’s nice to see this dude is still just slaughtering expectations.
It’s nice to see him getting the recognition he’s always deserved. I remember watching Lick Library when I was a teenager, he’s come a long way and he’s sounding better than ever these days.
On a different level all together. Speed, precision, articulation, feeling, flash, dynamic, etc... I could go on forever when describing Andy's ability.
Heard this the first time today after a YT Music auto-generated playlist for Angel Vivaldi put me on. I was tired on my lunch break but pretty much played it on repeat the whole time. Got me so pumped up that I shaved almost 25% off my average time for installing a ballistic strike plate in a vehicle door and set a shop record. lol The energy of any song that Andy creates is consistent and carries a certain mood to it. This one screams badassery without being thuggish, like The Protagonist has appeared, and he is having *none* of it. Spot on.
Just imagine, You are on a sports motorcycle in a long wide road, speeding at a high speed and this song is being played in your earphone. What a thrilling experience....
🔥When the tab and bt becomes available, I guarantee it, that anyone who masters the song at half speed with an hq slow-down program like song-surgeon will be the coolest 😎 guitar 🎸 player in town, unless Tramaine or AJ are in the area! !!🔥!! Hahahaha!
AJ is truly in the league of his own. I really can't think of a modern guitar player that has such great tone Melody and technicality as he does. And then to put the icing on the cake this guy puts out incredible tracks. I just haven't heard any Masters like this lately... It's like he's the only one doing it. Keep it coming Andy don't stop! MORE TRACKS MORE TRACKS!!!
I think Andy is a cyborg with robotic hands. Never seen anybody move that fast in a fretboard and be so accurate. Not to mention his tone….it’s so heavy and so damn clean at the same time. I’ve learned more from watching Andy James than anything else in the internet, teachers, or whatever. He’s unique and gets you to think out of the box. Greatest thing since satriani and petrucci.
One time… just one time… please tell us your signal chain and plugins/programs you’re using…. Please. If I had a genie that granted me 3 wishes one wish would be to have your creativity, knowledge and your brain. You’re a genius. That is all
Thank you so much for posting that video of father in laws retirement, we all greatly appreciate what you guys did for us. Also thank you for signing my guitar
HE77 YES!!!!!! Killer song and playing! Andy WOW WOW. Holy crap that run at @2:28 !!!! INSANE and that Kiesel Black/Yellow fade axe is SWEEeeeT!. Greta job Jeff Kiesel!!. Love EVERYTHING you do Andy. not ONE bad song in your entire catalog!!! Keep it up. Cant wait for the next new full CD!!
This right here is some sick ass shit. You seriously know how to make someone's day by posting this play through. FFDP are blessed to have you Andy Keep it real 🎸💥🖤
NekroHatred yeah, Zoltan's been a fan for years and their new drummer Charlie Engen actually knew Andy from when his band Scale the Summit toured with him so when Jason Hook had to have emergency surgery during their last tour, there was no question who was going to fill in for him (it was no question for Andy either because one of his favorite bands specifically chose him out of every guitarist in the world, which must've been pretty mindblowing). Since Jason officially left last October, Andy is now a permanent member and he is now in the process of recording their next album. I can't wait. If their first song with him is any indication, I believe that that will be their best album yet m.ruclips.net/video/pf8ztcsJHis/видео.html
Man, Your skills and melodic creativity is a Masterpiece. I have improved my guitar skills just by learning Your songs. Thank you for that. Your the best. Keep it up 🤘🔥🔥
If I could be in a legendary band, I would want this guy Andy James or mark tremonti! End of story.. even both would be surreal that would be a dream come true to any singer! You Rock on every damn time I love it!!
Can anyone in Egypt confirm we have no mummies suddenly coming to life? On a serious note: another badass piece of metal shreddery with some new spice thrown in. As always, looking forward to what’s next as I blast the latest on repeat. Keep on keeping on!
Andy you are a huge guitarist player and music man. Sometimes think that you are an Alien. Always your videos, tones, melodies and sounds are amazing. Thanks for this gifts for our hearts.
The song is amazing. Thank you taking the time to produce and upload a playthrough. These videos make the songs become even more alive and they are an exceptional experience! Keep it up no matter what any hater might say! Cheers!
I love how he is not a typical shredder just blazing along at a 1000mph. There is melody to his soloing.
his song structure reminds me of jeff loomis instrumental stuff or conqureing dystopia
Agree!!!
exactely ! there are a lot of real music !!
Perfectly said!!!!! That's what I have always thought of him as well. He's not just a one trick pony highlight reel shredder. His shredding is properly placed in spots along with rhythms and melodies. That's what makes him so elite in my opinion.
@@chadfeltman9565 yes he s not an machine to do scales
Andy is the one metal guitarist who could walk into any band and get the job.
Silky runs.. tasty licks.. enough crunch to satisfy the Cookie Monster...
On a serious note.. If you haven't heard his solo stuff, Andy James will be your new favorite guitarist when you do..
Enough crunch to satisfy the cookie monster 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love that the comments are so full of encouragement, compliments, and goodwill. We all could use a lot more of that right now.
🔥Upbeat fans indeed, indeed no coincidence, great!🔥!
His sound is so rich and controlled.Andy is a mind blowing guitarists for real..
I love how he makes all of those individual notes resonate for a sec
You see kids… This is what practice, practice, practise gets you. Andy is an absolute master of the guitar.
Yeah, its perfect practice that makes perfect performance, though, try that!🔥!
Practice and a tonne of natural ability.
@@mattcarpenter6986 and tonne of post prod effect

Seventeen hours late to the party...better late than never! Hahahaha
🤘😎🤘 Excellent 🔥🔥🔥
It’s nice to see him getting the recognition he’s always deserved. I remember watching Lick Library when I was a teenager, he’s come a long way and he’s sounding better than ever these days.
same here, he's my fav guitar player of all time and I'm 56yrs old
He plays the guitar like it owes him money
This is the classic Andy James
My favorite guitarist, Rock on my friend \m/
It’s not just mindless shredding… it’s got mad feel and groove… and it’s mad shredding 🤘🏻
🔥With AJ its Always The Art of Shredding, nothing less!🔥!
and that's spot on best shredder around
Agree!!!
This is one of the reasons I'm subscribed to one of the world's best guitarists alive. Andy James you're a bad ass.
You really do have the knack of creating amazing, singalong melodies for the choruses to your songs. '85 still has my favourite melody, though !
I FULLY agree! 85 is my favorite melody too! It has perfect dynamics of highs and lows at all the right times and places!
Same
This song is sick 85 is my favorite as well
I love your playing man, '85 is my favourite too!
Same!
I began each day with this song playing in the background as I repeat my daily Mantra
Andy is God - thank you Andy
That bend at 2:37 tho…. that hit hard! Fantastic
Seriously? For me the whole song hit hard 🤣
Awesome very 5 finger death punch 🤛!
Excellent Andy, il y am drummeur from Québec !
beast mode never goes off with him!
My favorite guitarist
Starting today
Это божественно! Рифф, ударные, соло-гитара, все вместе звучит невероятно!
One of the Best Players Worldwide!!!!!!!Hell Yeah!!!!😊
AJ never dissapoint us...
That's just bad ass!
earth stops rotate when andy plays ..
Nice song!! Andy James ... you are an alien!
🔥He might just be a Sitchinian from the 12th Planet, hahahaha!🔥!🎃🎃🎃
That guitar is just as stunning as the playing
Andy James makes me forget about the pentatonic scales and drives me and forces me to go further, master ... My entire admiration
Mind blowing!
On a different level all together. Speed, precision, articulation, feeling, flash, dynamic, etc... I could go on forever when describing Andy's ability.
Badass! You never disappoint Andy, your music has inspired my own playing
"The Falcon God" By ✨The Guitar God✨🔥
Exactly!
my favorite guitarrist since 2012
Oh, what have you done to me Andy James...The melodic line has haunted my head... Na na na naaa, na na na naaaaaaa! 😂😂 What a song!!!!
Вот это я понимаю рубилово! Митол жив! ✌️
ух,согласен
Фак йес брадерсс 😎
Andy james оххуенный гитарист и композитор конечно же
попса
Энди не очень риффовый композитор, но шредер отменный
I remember the days we were on some guitar forum in the early 2000s, we used to have guitar solo wars...and here you are. Still awesome!
До сих пор мурашки по телу идут от кайфа. Шикарная музыка, Энди 🔥👍👍👍👍👍. Ты мой любимый гитарист на планете!👍
Still in awe of getting high. Great music, Andy 👍👍👍👍👍. You are my favorite guitarist on this planet!👍
I enjoy the culmination of Satch, Via, Zack Wyld, and so many more awesome artists wrapped up in one man.
🔥Satriani, WAM, EVH, Beethoven, hahahaha!🔥!
I think EJ, eric johnson too, the running pentatonic.. so delicious, his trchnique and execution..
Time and time again vibes, love it
love this diversity of tapping @ 3:12 onwards
Heard this the first time today after a YT Music auto-generated playlist for Angel Vivaldi put me on. I was tired on my lunch break but pretty much played it on repeat the whole time.

We love Andy James!
Rockin' guns...keep up..✌👑 U ROCK🌟
My favorite guitarists of all time!!! MR. Andy James! 🤘🎸
Absolute legend, every time Andy James makes the perfect music with his melodic techniques. Thank you! 🤘🏻
Just imagine, You are on a sports motorcycle in a long wide road, speeding at a high speed and this song is being played in your earphone.
What a thrilling experience....
🔥This is a memorable comment, virtual moto-psycho!🔥!
No words. Just thanks Andy James...
What a track man 👌🏼🔥 it truly tells a story, and the playing is fucking unobtainable as usual, excellent man 🤩
🔥Wow, what a compliment coming from Tramaine!🔥! The Guitar is calling 🔥🎸🔥!

Been a while Andy. Good youre back

And then to put the icing on the cake this guy puts out incredible tracks. I just haven't heard any Masters like this lately... It's like he's the only one doing it.
Keep it coming Andy don't stop! MORE TRACKS MORE TRACKS!!!
This song + the 5 Finger Death Punch band with Ivans vocals would hit even harder than what it's already hitting! Great work Andy 🤙
That was a spiritual experience
Awesome!
FREAKIN AWESOME!
Old school Andy James "Burn it down" vibes!
I think Andy is a cyborg with robotic hands. Never seen anybody move that fast in a fretboard and be so accurate. Not to mention his tone….it’s so heavy and so damn clean at the same time. I’ve learned more from watching Andy James than anything else in the internet, teachers, or whatever. He’s unique and gets you to think out of the box. Greatest thing since satriani and petrucci.
Yes!! Favorite guitar player drops a track the day before my birthday what a present to me!!
One time… just one time… please tell us your signal chain and plugins/programs you’re using…. Please. If I had a genie that granted me 3 wishes one wish would be to have your creativity, knowledge and your brain. You’re a genius. That is all
Mr James continues to set the standard for clear and consistent song writing and execution!!! Just crushing it every time. Without fail!!!!!
i always enjoy watching a very skilled guitarist
Yassssss.... It's out before I head to sleep. Thanks for being the amzing guitar god you are

This right here is some sick ass shit. You seriously know how to make someone's day by posting this play through. FFDP are blessed to have you Andy
Keep it real 🎸💥🖤
Wait wtf? He's in 5 finger death punch?! Since when?!?
@@nekrohatred9547 yes it's been months now since they announced it.
@@ravenblackfeather4028 I just looked it up. Holy shit I never thought he'd be in 5fdp. That's insane!

I find it impossible to listen to Andy’s music and work at the same time,
As it causes involuntary air guitar at random intervals. 🤘🏻
My Guitar Hero... 🤘🏻
Hope to see you LIVE sometime!! Your Audio Sound Scaping - is some of the BEST on the PLANET! Thank you for the chance to watch!
Falcon god by guitar god.Great work!
This guitar is absolutely awesome!
Man, Your skills and melodic creativity is a Masterpiece. I have improved my guitar skills just by learning Your songs. Thank you for that. Your the best. Keep it up 🤘🔥🔥
sick song! believe it or not, I started playing in this genre after watching Andy jammed on EMGtv and i have come a little closer since then!
The originality composition.Bravo Andy !!!
Perfekcja i mistrzostwo tak jak za każdym razem.
Absolutely friggn phenomenal. Would LOVE to see a James/Loomis collaboration. A solo trade off between them would be legendary.
🤘🏾😣🤘🏾
Andy James is the only metal guitarist I can listen to all day long after Jeff Loomis
One of the most beautiful song I'v ever heard in my life! And that RIFF. KILLER!!!
