Andy James - Victory feat Rick Graham (Official Playthrough Video)

[@rickycurtis8690]

everyone saying oh "Andy is way better" or "Rick just blew Andy out of the water" you guys are dumb because these guys are complimenting each other's playing. Guitar is not a competitive sport it's self expression and everybody expresses themselves differently. 2 great players, amazing song I've been waiting for this since they first hinted about a collaboration 👌👍

[@guitarist4485]

Ricky Curtis thank you!!! well said

[@Chritter]

Ricky Curtis I agree! Everyone knows Andy is fucking trash and Rick is daddyy 💪😍👂

Ricky Curtis well said!

[@DBoyyxD]

MrChrisEngl everyone also knows andy james is 100x more talented than you so...

[@chriszoupa7898]

Holy biscuits... That tap riff. So inspiring guys. I cried a little.

[@thomasmiller6266]

You deleted my comment...I cried a lttle

[@joshuagerth1979]

😂😂

[@MrJellyBOMB]

Rick's left hand control makes his playing look so effortless

[@tobinhobbs4375]

You're right; and it makes me totally Jelly. (See what I did there?)

[@MAGAMAN]

I was just going to comment on that. Andy's fingers are flying all over the place and Rick's fingers never move on that half an inch from the fret-board when he plays.Both are great players, but the technique that Rich has is amazing to watch.

[@rhythmicstu]

Get over that Wall Andy rarely uses his little finger which is why his fingers look like they are all over the place haha. also Rick focuses a lot more on right hand techniques such as hybrid picking

[@seanmiller7889]

Get over that Wall Yeah Andy is amazing and the worst case of 'fly away pinky' I've ever seen but I'd give up both of my nuts to be 10% of the player he is.

[@mutantkoffee]

Get over that Wall obviously not comparing that two players, both are ultra - great, but what I see is mr. Graham refined his technique to the max level. And that is a foking top nocht achievement.

[@EST91SDK]

Why are so many people sleeping on this?!? Screw mainstream I’d rather listen to this all day every day!

[@chuckchang5021]

... I do listen to this everyday ...

[@jametalboy]

2 different person, 2 different tones, 2 different method of playing guitars but fuck it syncs so well.

[@strangereastern6832]

Rick's solo should go into the list of greatest guitar solos of all time.

[@sbdogg716]

THE greatest of all time...at least so far I've ever heard

[@RFWMusic]

Yea it was crazy! His hands barely move for all the notes he's hitting!

[@bedross2859]

To anyone who is doubting this, go watch Rick's breakdown of his solo and come back to like this comment

[@Davison199x]

Watch roberto barros - ancestry

[@Chrime71]

I absolutely agree with that ;-)

[@nikhilkanojia7039]

Rickgrahan just nailed it.. that starting and the solo.. so much feel and andy james ur 👌👌

[@jesus4pincho]

2 Beroozgaar what is "feel"? I read a lot of comments talkimg about it but i don't understand what they refer to

[@yonikup2865]

@@jesus4pincho that you can get a certain emotion out of the persons playing and it doesnt feel like it's automatic and soul less

[@marcsee4072]

2 best shredders mother England ever produced... and i am afraid they are the Kings of guitar ruling the whole world.

[@nichaju1]

Two of my favorite players of all time playing together. What a pleasure!

[@shredgod6394]

True musicians don't argue who's better. They appreciate the style and skill of the other player. Andy will never sound like rick. rick will never sound like Andy. that's the beauty of it. They both know more than all of you and they see eachother as equals. When you get to this level, there is no better. there is only different style.

[@mr501mc]

Preach on

[@aeterna5000]

well said.

[@japrajaps4908]

Both amazing

[@aliongaboobagus6933]

Exactly ...thank you

[@strangereastern6832]

Rick Graham has taken guitar playing to a great new level. This solo of his is like a slap on the face of everyone who has ever played the guitar till now. I wish I could take him on a time machine to the 50s and 60s and make him play this and look at the expression on the faces of those people of that time.

[@kungfuman82]

Calvin “Marty” Klein did something similar and the people back then didn’t appreciate it, but their kids loved it.

[@ethanpederson]

@@kungfuman82 Haha

[@lukedavies6646]

2:19 I love how, despite the happy backing track, Rick was able to sneak a nice, dark arpeggio in there. Dude is just the best at those things.

[@nekibuzzaman2471]

Bruh that's a minor arpeggio

[@vivekkiran73]

observation on point

[@tobinhobbs4375]

Damn. These two need to do this on a regular basis. I could listen to this all day, in fact, I HAVE BEEN listening to it all day!

[@wilsoncheung8278]

[@TenPester]

2:40 is the most emotive part of this song. The rest is phenom, but that part kicks you right in the stones.

[@tonypowell250]

Ikr

[@ajwadrahik2586]

Andy and Rick what a combination ❤️

[@TobyKBTY]

From making an entry to an Andy James competition to actually JAMMING with the man on a track. Rick is one hell of a player.

[@MrRaiden182]

My guitar doesn't do that.

[@acmv71192]

MrRaiden182 mine too. 😢

[@varietycontent2784]

MrRaiden182 😂😂 my guitar does😂😂

[@svogender]

I have also bought myself a hopeless guitar.....:-)

[@rmanor5508]

, just practice everyday, any guitar is fine , all AJ does is play in studio all day, if you wanna play like the greats, practice more than you think.

[@jonathonbabcock1671]

MrRaiden182 my dick does that

[@Chdk24]

There are numerous points of Rick’s solo where I actually just laugh… such an odd reaction to have to an amazing piece of music but when something is so good, so seemingly impossible yet executed so perfectly my brain almost doesn’t know how else to react so I just have to laugh! 😂 Gonna try learn it like a fool so won’t be long before it has me crying! 😂

[@brainynbrawny9562]

MIND-BLOWING! THESE TWO ARE THE NEW BREED OF GUITAR MONSTERS!

[@nikkontech789]

Nobody gonna talk about how awesome the part in 3:05 is?

[@copykonsmusic1065]

it's not about who is "better". It's about the music itself. Andy is fantastic and melodic.

[@samrt-boro]

Andy james knows how to keep it metal!!! ❤

[@docoftheworld]

The pinnacle of artistic sensitivity, ingenuity and majesty of human innovation is reflected in Rick's facial expressions between 2:40 - 2:47

[@slashrishi]

Finally both of our most favourite guitarists/teachers playing along!! 😍🤘🏻🤘🏻..cheers to all those who wanted this to come along for all these years! 👍🏻 Awesome!!

[@used019]

Man. Rick's solo is just unreal. Those bends? Holy shit.

[@DonovanDeans]

Rick Graham's back with another lick to make the guys go: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@daxcartar5667]

Donovan Deans ...and the girls go..................

[@sdiabr6792]

well it's not really a lick is it?

[@Justinator1]

[@Ignore14]

It's more of a pentatonic impossible shred type thing

[@heterodonto060810]

[@abhishekchawla7633]

Effortless playing. Andy and Rick, strong combination right there....Absolute Guitar Domination

[@Bdevonhewitt]

Still bloody brilliant playing. Great guitarist and musicians.

[@tripx7823]

There's something magical, even superhuman about the way these guys play. I'm in "awe" is an understatement. I'm mystified.

[@kashishsambyal3391]

Thank you. I am lucky to have listened to this master piece and experience such brilliance. You are awesome Andy...

[@AromiErotici]

Outstanding playing by both. Great to see ( and hear ) guys of this skill level occasionally collaborating with each other. Would love to see it happen more often.

[@imglidinhere]

I've always loved how powerful Andy James sounds in his recordings. I think that's why he sits in my mind as a modern take on Zakk Wylde to me. The flat EQ that Rick employs here is absolutely out of this world though, it's always something I've enjoyed to no end. This tune is heavenly to listen to.

[@erencelikkanat7421]

Melodies that Andy put in solos are just amazing. Goosebumps..

[@aleksandarmatovic8794]

One of the best Andy's songs i've ever heard. Fantastic!

[@manmythlegend078]

I'm watching Aliens ! As I sit at home watching this while I strum a G chord on my guitar.... I sit and watch this for 5 mins and have no clue what's going on. Absolute fucking legend !

[@GeneSchmidt]

This never gets old

[@Scuba_Bro]

It’s doesn’t matter who you think is better... both of these men are truly talented and skilled! This collab was nothing but pure awesomeness! So be appreciative that 2 great artists worked together to make such epic music for everyone to enjoy and appreciate.

[@redevil4evr]

2 years on I still can't get over Rick's playing in this song. Gosh darn thankful I found his channel years ago.

[@pauloalexandre-dd4nl]

Andy have such a clean tone. You can hear all notes. Rich, his legato is out of this chart. Amazing both

[@Proguitar1010]

Andy James and Rick Graham Gods amongst men !

[@psychoskwurl]

This guy does a great job of putting emotion into his instrumentals.

[@GermanViking]

3 years later and still don't want to pick up my guitar again seriously...

[@danzzmusic1]

Wow both of these guitar legends in one video! Awesome song as usual

[@chasemcdaniel3620]

Everyone is talking about technical ability... These two guitarists KNOW music. They GET it. The breakdown at 3:05 was foreshadowed. The melody was already placed in your mind in previous choruses. its great. The solos were both played over great chord progressions to creating INSANE solos. The solos themselves were flawlessly executed. Great players STRIVE for perfection. This isnt just some "cool jam" its FUCKING AWESOME MUSIC.

[@garygaray7774]

There are many words that I can use to describe the excellence of these two virtuosos...but if I had to pick one it would be INSPIRING! Both magnificent players and their collaboration is beyond amazing. Thanks for putting this together so we can all be inspired by your hardwork and talent!!!!!

[@PrismaticCS]

Wow Rick the way you play I can feel you man that was so moving I can't hold back my emotions

[@alexjackson8841]

THAT bend at 2:46 was soooooooo satisfying

[@sbdogg716]

Wish his volume was up a bit there, its almost hard to hear👂

[@mutantkoffee]

The world barely holded this level of epicness, if you do that again, the world would explode, so start stopping with the awesomeness.

[@toddmudrick98]

You’ve got AJ, king of melody. Then, you’ve got RG’s backing to just absolutely blow the minds of every guitar player, with his seemingly effortless, nothing short of godlike phrasing/musicianship to guide you through this shredtastic escapade.

[@nathanstevens2416]

anybody that truly appreciates music, should only be in awe of this. draw no comparisions.. cos this is dedication and love for music.!!

[@kdxracer184]

The fact these guys can tell stories without words is beyond incredible.

[@wutherer]

Mind blown what a song! These two are incredible shredders/musicians but most importantly phenomenon song writers!

[@axisdriftguitarworks1384]

Sublime levels of technique. The grail of contemporary shred.

[@redlion2893]

[@aaronhall4520]

Guys, music isn't about who's better. Music is about making something that touches someone. Music is supposed to force a reaction, thought, emotion ect. that wouldn't have happened without it. Stop passing judgment on people who are already so far above you in skill level that your judgment is futile, and listen/enjoy what was made.

[@arlo081]
