[@wolfhorsky]

Andy is so underrated. He should be in top 5 metal players of all time. Melody, tasteful licks, power - everything. Deepest respect.

[@Cheximus]

All time..? lol.

[@wolfhorsky]

@@Cheximus For me? Yes. Along with Dime, JP, EVH (if considered as "metal")

[@mello2029]

Been a fan since his “Lick Library” days and he’s grown into one of the most beastly guitarists on the planet. 🤘😎

[@pzdipuing]

But andy says he can never come close to jason Richardson....

[@SeanTenney777]

Dude you're bringing me back mentioning Lick Library!

[@Eddieside]

and since this days pinky finger still flying 😁

[@scientia_redelcon8735]

Richardson has no melody in his shredding style. A lot of notes with no sense, like Rusty Cooley.

[@mattb6646]

Same here, I used to love his metallica styles

[@GarrettPod]

The cleanest shredder of our day and age! Amazing man.

[@Localbrobrahma]

He is perfect tion

Jason Richardson: “Am I a joke to you?”

[@C_Kawla]

@@saltyshrimppasta All Jason does is noodle boring notes, he just plays what Malmsteen has already done in 80's yet Jason has no melody in comparision to Yngwie

[@saltyshrimppasta]

@@C_Kawla I agree, but he still has a high level of technical ability. I find Jason’s shredding more interesting than, say, the guys from Avenged Sevenfold

[@user-mo2ct1bh4e]

ladies and gentlemen, this guy is a super genius, thanks to people like this guitarist, life on planet earth is becoming more interesting and colorful! Thank God for such a gift!

[@dustinandcassiepayneandher7688]

Watching him play blows my mind. He’s in a league of his own.

[@azathoz]

Everytime I listen to a new Andy James song, my jaw drops. His technique and sense of melody are from other world.

[@rickschneider3887]

One of Andys best compositions. So melodic and technical! I could listen to him play all day. I've been playing guitar over 3 decades and he's one of the very few players who inspires me!

[@Tariqmajeedofficial]

simply Awesome

Perfection as always Andy. I’ve heard so many guitarists during my 20 year metal journey but you are by far my favourite guitarist of all times. King Andy 👑

[@rahikmeghla2649]

words cant describe what kind of a guitarist Andy is , his playing and composition is beyond our imaginations

[@777zippy777]

Probably the only guitar player I've ever heard that leaves me shaking my head in awe..... after EVERY song.

[@johnm.4655]

2:37 Onwards was just pentatonic shred heaven! Super excellent playing as usual Andy! FYI: What I love most about your playing style is that I hear so much Tony MacAlpine in your hands, which is just so cool for an old school shredder like me. I still remember the first time I bought Tony's "Maximum Security" album on "cassette tape" (whatever those things were!! LOL!) and was totally blown away from start to finish. You remind me so much of him! Thanks for keeping his spirit alive in your own music!

I have been studying real material this time. Last time I didn't study. Should have kept it up over the past 9 years. Could be pro right now.

[@indranilchowdhury1826]

@@archkarr18 yeah I agree with you , nonetheless if listen to "Bella's song" or the intro of "welcome to the crazy maze"( the intro only upto the point Andy starts to shred) or his earlier works on a six string you would have to agree with me that he is a master melody maker. I'm saying that he should do more of the melodic stuff mixed with his shredding skills. After all Andy is known for his shredding techniques. Having said that I miss his simple melodic songs.

[@dracandros]

amazing. the melody master ✨

Struck in awe not only by his fluidity but his fretwork. I swear I find myself staring at his fingers and I can't find a single ounce of slop. Not one mistake. This is what it means to be an impresario virtuoso.
