Awesome, but not Satriani.

[@canadianloon6433]

No one beats Andy on a technical level. He's simply the best today.

[@bananasty9334]

What shout Guthrie? And alternate picking Both Gilbert and Petrucci are still considered the top dogs generally.

[@humanbiker]

There might be a few. Manuel Gardner Fernandez, Jason Richardson, Ichika Nito, Tim Henson, plus some lesser known guys like Tramaine Jonathan. But at a certain point technique becomes less important than musicality, and this guy has that in spades.

[@KimKim-001]

@@humanbiker actually you can count Steve Terreberry since he's more talented than you think, it just his goofiness that overshadowed his actual talent.

Polyphias guitarist on a technical level is ahead of this. Do I like it better though? Nah Andy is better.

Andy James is so incredible, and really the only instrumental guitarist that I never get bored of listening to. He has the ability of creating melody in his songs, just such an amazing musician.

Angel vivaldi too?

vivaldi quite boring( BUt awesome song too

Don’t worry your both legends for discovering his art 🤘🤘

I listened to this song the day this album was released - and here I am again watching and listening. Andy's solo albums are friggin fantastic. His combination of tasteful melodies and shred are unmatched (in my opinion). All his music is absolutely worth you time!

[@ItsSauIGoodman]

Man that part at 1:23 is such a beautiful resolution. This dude OOZES emotion in his writing.

[@powpowudead]

My favorte thing about his music is how the words are replaced by these beautiful riffs and they still feel like vocals. This dude is majestic as fuck on a guitar.

[@Satchafunkilus]

Speechless! Mind boggling melodic shredding that's simply flawless with impeccable accuracy.

[@BrettFunkGuitar]

Yes, this.

[@robaxl3088]

A pure treat for the eyes and ears..Andy takes you on a journey in another dimension

[@thebarkermc]

One thing I love about Andy is; there's no wasted moments. Everything is efficient. He doesn't try to be overly impressive for the sake of displaying his technique, he delivers incredibly thoughtful sound consistently and that to me is better than him trying to convince me he's the most talented guitarist out there, even though I believe he is regardless.

[@rogerwoodgate2595]

I just love Drifting the moment with these instrumentals,simply a massage to the ears/Mind/Body and Soul,I could never get tired of this Style,it's Dynamite in my Universe>>I love the FX of what his hand looks like playing and I call it "The Spider Racing The Fret Board"

Andy is just on a completely different level when it comes to the emotion behind his songs. Truly one of a kind in this world. Keep it up brother!!! Huge inspiration to myself and many friends!!

[@ryanz2814]

Man this guy is absolutely incredible. I have been watching playthroughs all night and my goodness. Has to be the most perfect blend of technical prowess and emotion that I have heard in....maybe forever. I am telling friends and can't decide what songs to send them for their first time lol. Mine was after midnight, still probably my fave but not a single piece is bad. At least a part of every one of his songs catches me right in the feels. Thank you Mr. James for making the world a more beautiful place with your music.

[@StevenMcFlyJunior]

Dude, MAD respect! This guy floored it for the Killer Instinct theme. Never payed much attention to his insanely HQ skills. Jeezus! Rock on my man! Gonna toss some of your stuff streaming over to a BluTooth speaker & jam it for Memorial Day weekend, cookout & think of how my Dad would have loved it (he passed last week). Did he EVEN break a sweat here? No! I'd have been blistered 6 ways from Sunday on this even TRYING 1 minute in! :-)

[@Demonicator]

Man, his skill level is nuts but you can feel such a soulfulness in his music. I bet he is a pretty upbeat but chill person with a slight bit of melancholic.

[@NytronX]

KZbin algorithm just recommended me you. So far all your songs are ridiculously good. A motif I am noticing is unbelievably uplifting melodies. The choruses I've heard so far are usually a basic Swedish-esque soaring melody. LOVE IT!

[@peterepabi11]

in my humble opinion he is the best heavy metal guitarist in the world today, because he is complete, has speed, feeling, aggressiveness and precision, all in the right dose and at the right time.

[@pauloalexandre-dd4nl]

What i find unreal is that Andy plays with a super high action what makes a better tone but compromises the ability to go fast. And yep. He can go fast. Great job. Wonder if was medium to low action. He would run a guitar at speed of light

[@kungfuman82]
