▶ Get the full Alexi Laiho guitar course here, and shred just like him: www.licklibrary.com/learn/courses/quick-licks-alexi-laiho Master the style of Alexi Laiho with this online guitar lesson taught by Andy James! Learn a series of Licks and techniques used by Alexi Laiho and add them into your own playing!
To all the people saying "wow, Alexi should use these ideas, too bad he can write this good".... Every one of these licks comes from an Alexi Laiho riff, lead, or melodic phrase.
I am a BIG fan of Alexi and this guy (who impresses me with any of his interpretations) doesn't only have fast fingers, but good ears! He's been able to put everything Alexi plays (phrases, scales etc) in one melodic, original and authentic demonstration. You are awesome dude!! :)
Everything about this is amazing, including the backing instruments, theywork really well with it, but needless to say Andy James is how I'd like to be playing in 5 years!
Although I have personally made a tab for this solo, currently we're still working on how to include them with the DVDs, in the meantime, Andy teaches this solo note for note on the DVD, so check that out :)
@cykoxy Hi Cxkoxy the Quick Licks series are solos in the styles of an artist so they aren't actual licks from specific songs. Any other questions just ask! Hope that helps.
I love how in these videos Andy plays things that the person whose style he's recreating would have problems being able to produce. He plays their styles better than they can haha.
@LedKenji666 The entire solo is pretty much "Living Dead Beat" There are a few parts that are not exactly "Laiho-ish" but for the most part, he nailed it. This could pass off as a new Bodom song if i didn't know better. 1:00 - 1:40 is exactly a Laiho lead.
@riseagainstrul33 Hi there, yes the dvd this piece comes on is a full lesson on various licks that Andy has created in the style of Alexi Laiho. He does go through the licks at a pace where you can follow him, breaking down each section -plus you can always pause the DVD at any section your not 100% sure about. hope that answers your question.
That's a pretty incredible reproduction of his style. If someone posted this video claiming it was a CoB guitar tutorial video the only way I'd know it wasn't is the absence of the ring finger snake tattoo or whatever it is. Well, that and this is about twice as clean as most videos of Alexi playing. Pretty amazing playing.
@miramar2011 Hi there - with the Quicks licks DVD what your taught is around 30 licks the chords and drums are the Jam track that comes on the DVD for you to play along to once you master all the licks.
Anyone's who's seen Andy's other DVDs or heard his albums knows he absolutely blows Alexi away. And that's not to take anything away from Alexi, who is amazing in his own right. But Andy is one of the best out there, period.
It's something we're seriously working on, the only problem is (as you mention) getting it to everyone who already purchased the DVD, it's a really sticky one but we're bouncing some ideas around

It's incredible how much insight Andy got into the actual style of Alexi Laiho. IT really covered every aspect of his sound.
It's a proud day for me as a long time Bodom fan to see people recognizing Alexi Laiho as his OWN style.
can we get an andy james style quick licks???
To all the people saying "wow, Alexi should use these ideas, too bad he can write this good".... Every one of these licks comes from an Alexi Laiho riff, lead, or melodic phrase.
The only thing that missing is the black painted nails!
Oh my god.. look at the ring finger at 1:12 ._. wtf?!?! ahahah
.... I'd sell my soul for this ability
"what you see before is a pair of hands crafted to perfection...and a mindset to master the most epic of shreds"
1:11 was so freaking clean and accurate, amazing technique!
I cant stop listening to 1:25 to 1:50
That's typically how Alexi styles his solos, amazing playing man, it's a great demonstration
Every licks, phrases, ideas etc comes from Alexi Laiho! Don´t forget ´bout it
this sounds exactly like something alexi would write/play. amazing.
I am a BIG fan of Alexi and this guy (who impresses me with any of his interpretations) doesn't only have fast fingers, but good ears! He's been able to put everything Alexi plays (phrases, scales etc) in one melodic, original and authentic demonstration. You are awesome dude!! :)
Although we don't currently include tab, Andy takes you through each lick telling you the fret numbers one note at a time.
This guy is my f***ing hero !!!!!!!!!
One guitar god playing in the style of another guitar god... this is amazing
You know Andy James really makes some of these other players look a lot better than they actually are...
This actually sounds a lot like an Iron Maiden and Children of Bodom Hybrid type thing.
I've just watched all the vids this guy has on youtube, he's so damn talented to copying styles so perfectly like this. This guy is truly a legend!
The first licklibrary DVD I ever used! Thanks LL and Andy James for all your awesomeness
Everything about this is amazing, including the backing instruments, theywork really well with it, but needless to say Andy James is how I'd like to be playing in 5 years!
Alexi may not be the most virtuoso but the dude has style.
One of the greatest guitar performance i've ever seen!
Although I have personally made a tab for this solo, currently we're still working on how to include them with the DVDs, in the meantime, Andy teaches this solo note for note on the DVD, so check that out :)
dude, you are absolutely amazing. you can take anyones style and completely mimic it and do a hell of a job. i look up to you sooo much!!!
To lick library can you do a jeff loomis or jason becker style if possible
wow! Andy is an INCREDIBLE guitar player!!
that sweep is beautiful...
this is the cleanest you'll ever hear of alexs playing style! hahah
he's amazing. one of the best guitarists around
I encourage the 70 guys who voted down to play the TABS which are in Songterr, and think what they did by voting down this amazing shredd work.
Dude ,you've earned so much respect from me.God bless u immensely,though i think ur already blessed.
This was written by Andy in the style of Alexi :)
One of my fav guitarists.......Alexi Laiho's pretty good as well.....
this is insane.. this guy in insane.. crazy good , such nice flow
Phrasing is Superb!
Such a fluid style with such melodic overtone...
Shred it!

Hope that helps.
this guy is blowing my mind with his AWESOME SKILLS
That would actually be quite epic.
Andy should paint his finger nails black and add about a pound of bracelets to his left wrist - that would make the illusion of Alexi perfect
if i wouldnt be watching the video i would think this is Alexi playing, GREAT JOB man!!!!
Can Alexi even do that? this guy is f-in crazy.
THIS IS SO SICK!
underrated! your a phenom!
@56EnTiTy Hi there - yes on this DVD what you see above is taught on the DVD. Hope that helps.
Essential Guitar Practice Routines: Sweep Picking DVD by Andy James could be just the treat :)
oh my fucking god that speed of those fingers! Amazing!
I love how in these videos Andy plays things that the person whose style he's recreating would have problems being able to produce. He plays their styles better than they can haha.
some zakk wylde stuff at... 1:10
