Andy james - War march

My favourite andy james song ever. This contradicts everyone who said that andy cant play as clean without a hairband. enjoy!

[@reeklopedia367]

Life was very complicated then I started listening to this badass guy.❤ This is my fuel

[@yabo2424]

I dont care if he plays with or without "feel", because I "FELT" it... awesome work....

[@eyekaramba]

Damn, this guy is so damn accurate in his playing! Every note can be heard. So precise work. True earcandy. And seems to be very humble fellow too.

[@MaliceOfRites]

Andy James is honestly one of the best guitarists in the world right now

[@80sShred]

Yeah, he is up there. I still think Guthrie Govin is ahead. He could do all this with his eyes closed, plus his jazz stuff and lick choice is off the charts.

[@themiddleagedcyclist9609]

Fantastic!! This generation is better than the 80s with this! Bring it back!

[@JaimeAndresJaramillo]

Each time I come back to listen to this absolute amazing song, my faith on music replenishes to infinity. When you compose your shred with beautiful melodies, with a dynamic & harmonic contour, with direction and feel... this is what you get: Beautiful speed music. More is more, Shred is Feel.

[@Profeus]

this was unbelievable....!! wicked guitar playing!

[@warhammer265]

someone in the comments below basically saying eddie van halen can stomp this guy? ill say eddie was a legend, but that was the 80's, guitar has changed. those people then changed the way the guitar was played (especially eddie) but in doing so laid down the guidelines for more to come along later and change it some more. yes eddie and some of the other shredders of the day were amazing, but there are people today who come up with things like this, which there really is no denying that a player like andy here plays things they could only dream of.. just saying, i love the oldies, but many of the modern day players go way beyond the technical limits of them... oh and to the guy who said that eddie van halen's eruption is so much harder to play than this.... i seriously couldn't read those comments without laughing my ass off at your ignorance and cockyness, i am sure many here did the same thing if they saw your comments haha :p

[@TheWPgamerS]

Düşüncelerimi cok guzel dile getirmissin. You are absolutely rigth, i was sick of the overrated old times. Yes they were great and made the guitar what it is today. However, these new generation guys really nailed

[@TruthSpin7]

AJ needs a better publicist. Doesn’t get the cred deserved. I been playing guitar for decades and first heard this cat 5 or 6 yrs ago. Satch n Vai should invite AJ on their next G3 Tour.

[@paulajacobs2612]

Absolutely fell in love with the pure awesomeness of his skills. Love it!!!💜

[@iancanty9875]

I’m amazed that for a guitarist who plays like this, he seems hardly to use his little finger. If he’d been born without it he’d still be one of the worlds greatest guitarists. His playing is so fresh it’s like breathing pure oxygen!

[@RathOfficial]

Andy James, you rock! Awesome! Cant wait to see you in the U.S

[@DrsJacksonn]

He's a poet on that thing. He's like a renaissance artist.

i firstly heard this song in the live of Mr. Big in Hong Kong and that was outstanding and sensational. Keep going mate!

[@shREDhead44]

Wow! i love his phrasing and interval choices he sounds so different from all the other 3 note per string dudes. truly unique, i love Rick Graham too.

[@9169enjoi]

Go listen to "Envision" by Polyphia, Rick Grahams guest solo is fucking EPIC!!

[@madkins77765]

Andy James is a world class guitar player! One of the best on the planet when it comes to taste and technical ability. He is personally my favorite guitar player hands down!

[@unreleasedbeast]

Michael Carter I'd say he's my third. Slash number one, always. Second is santana, dude is beautiful. Then Andy, he's jus a beast. Crispy everytime

[@charlehpock]

Say what? You are missing out on some serious guitarists - Slash? What about Chris Amott, Tosin Abasi, Jason Richardson, Mark Holcomb, Paul Gilbert, Nick Johnston... I mean I could sit here for hours naming people going through genres etc and I'm sure some of those could easily replace one or two of your top three! Then again, it's subjective :)

[@unreleasedbeast]

Mean thats fine, but everyone has their own taste my dude. Lol it's the style in which slash plays that draws me in.

[@charlehpock]

Lol check out some of the above though if not familiar :D

[@unreleasedbeast]

I'll do that. Always open for new music.

[@guitarreilly]

play this vid on 2 times speed on youtube settings !

[@dstproducer1]

Thats how Andy originally recorded it but they had to slow it down so we felt like maybe one day we could play it lol

[@guitarreilly]

Dan Stone haha also mate slow it down to half speed and you actually realise how accurate he is like on the really fast passages he doesnt miss a single note !!

Thank you Andy James for writing this masterpiece.

[@aiyka_music]

Making faces while playing doesn't mean that you're playing with feel or passion... There's loads of feel in his playing...

[@doofapotamus2323]

sykhophaunt7 I wouldn't agree. If you're making facial expressions you're feeling the music. That's pretty simple

[@maidenforever999]

Doofapotamus Gaming andy james face speaks 1000s of emotions when he plays, not his fault you cant tell where his head is at. I see his soul shining threw out all his videos, this man feels every note he plays. Just watch his eyes and mouth/cheeks. He shows plenty of signs of ‘’feeling’’. Also anyone who even gets close to this level of guitar playing quite clearly has soul and heart or else one could never achieve this level in the first place. So quite frankly my friend, you dont know shit about art and body language. Only talentless losers can possibly claim an andy james type of player has no soul lol, you must be one of those dudes that think jimmy page is the best guitar player ever. No offence to Page but guitar has evolved too much in the last 25 years to even consider him a top player today.

[@bradleyduncan8919]

Great job Andy,,,,,once again another great tune, keep it up bro you inspire me to play even more difficult riffs,,,nice driving song

[@michaelz7998]

Вот что бывает, когда Macalpine, Petrucci @ Malmsteen собираются вместе, в одном лице :)) А если серьёзно, то если бы A. James был-бы учеником вышеуказанных уважаемых товарищей, то они точно бы им гордились. Смотрел 25 раз - каждый раз с искренним интересом. Браво, Andy!

[@christam24]

[@whatsittouya1937]

Andy James is an awesome guitarist. Good compositions, technically perfect, and certainly all achieved with dedication. Now "to like" or "dislike" is a right that people have. And if somebody do not like what's the point?

When I first saw Satriani 20 and more years ago he was considered "Not of this earth", well if that was true then this guy is star trekking the outer space. Everything is just perfect, his logo, his custom guitar and look. I only wish to have the opportunity to shake his hand at the end of this performance. I think it could heal my guitar related distress for being such a minor human being in comparison. Thanks Maestro.

Seriously, I don't want to hear "he plays without feel, soul etc." anymore. This is so dumb. He is great and way too underrated.

[@clegions96]

If you're better than someone the initial reaction is hate, and he is obviously amazing, so they're just jealous of his skill

[@clegions96]

[@flagmuffin1221]

[@stickdude566]

the pickups are fine. it just seems like he had too much mid on his amp

[@flagmuffin1221]

***** He's an endorsed artist, yes. But I highly doubt a musician would say "Wanna make a sweet deal?" and play gear that they hate, right? Andy has to like and prefer playing EMGs, otherwise he wouldn't be using them, ya dig? If I Marshall said "Here, have an endorsement" to me and I've never liked playing a Marshall in ever, being a musician I wouldn't want to play something that I've just never liked, so I wouldn't go with them.
