[@zacharylawrence]

For anybody curious about the inspiration behind the licks, this is my best guess. 0:00 - 0:15 As I Am intro 0:15 - 0:40 Glass Prison intro solo 0:40 - 0:50 Constant Motion (main riff) 0:50 - 1:15 On the Backs of Angels solo 1:15 - 1:25 As I Am solo 1:25 - 1:50 I have no idea, sounds like a solo from Black Clouds 1:50 - 2:35 backing track from In the Name of God but solo sounds like A Change of Seasons 2:35 - 2:50 Constant Motion riff 2:50 - 3:10 This Dying Soul ending

[@vincebos7915]

Zachary Lawrence thx

[@anindyarajbaruah5528]

U are awesome bro

[@DavidNwokoye]

This man is a hardcore fan

[@LeGrandManitoutTest]

1:25 - 1:50 is definitely from black clouds and man... isnt this the best riff ever ? i mean it is almost as powerful as kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3LRep2DaLKKi6c (which is my favorite) not in the same way ofc don't you think ?

[@dandavidson1704]

zacharylawrence pattern at 2:31 is from the first solo in endless sacrifice, and the pattern at 1:22 is from damage control

[@jeffsond]

There are not many humans on earth that can mimick so many different styles and have the of accuracy as AJ does. Well Done Andy

[@Apocalypse_Dude]

That arpeggio solo run at 1:25sec was simply melodic and outstanding.

[@andysalter7192]

More String Skipping then straight Arpeggios. But yes , outstanding indeed.

[@diegosmarinhobr]

I just went to a Dream Theater show in my city and it was amazing! All band members have a lot of technique! Petrucci is certainly one od the best guitar players ever, and Andy James too!

[@tomg2217]

If I could "like" your comment from this app then I would do, many times!!

Spurs :D You shouldn't compare god to Andy* fixed

[@Hafer_]

This dude is the 3 finger wizard

[@justinbowen2003able]

A majority of scales, particularly in jazz, heavily emphasis economy picking which incorporates the use of 3 notes per rule

no matter how many times or what video i watch with andy james in. im still amazed at his playing, by far the best guitarist ive ever seen

[@NytronX]

My guitar doesn't do that.

[@SuperSossossos]

***** yeah. andy uses it when recording, but he can play without it and still be as clean.

[@Reflix91]

***** Things like that are always possible but harder, guess you just need to be tighter right

[@chunkyfudgelover]

***** It's a combination of the picking hand dampening the strings, the available fingers on the fretting hand also play their part too (especially in sweeping from the high E to the low E). After watching such clean shit like this I decided to completely overhaul my playing after over a decade of bad habits. Play it slow AND clean then go from there.

[@LorenzoCappuccio]

0:10 the glass prison, 0:40 and 2:36 constant motion. awesome playing!

[@noah12314]

Andy is the beast His touch is just unbelievable Effortless yet looks so beautifully complex.

[@licklibrary]

Hi Hasan Basri Cekem, Andy James has been playing a very long time, theres no easy way around it, the best way is to practise practise practise! Will send you a link to a list of videos which Andy James explains learning guitar and tips for guitarists. Hope there helpful!

[@dimed2338]

Hate to state the obvious, but this guy is a very good guitarist ..

[@HarrisLorenzo]

and then "constant motion'"s riff and "this dying soul"s at the ending...really nice...it's really on John's style!

[@RumikXxeno]

that solo between 1:50 and 2:37 is awesome!!!

[@likeabuckethead2315]

RumikXxeno what is this song?

[@andysalter7192]

John Petrucci is as good as you get but Andy James is right up there in skill level ! Amazing solo !!!!!!

[@scorpionz44]

just bought this DVD, totally worth it, such great excersises and andy james is just amazing but everyone knows that, whoever was thinking of getting, def a good idea

[@licklibrary]

Excellent! Glad your finding the DVD helpful - even if it is killing your pinky! All the best!

[@fjk1138]

Killer playing, Sir. The part from 1:27 - 1:51 is pure beauty!

Go to a crossroads 😂

[@renzoaronichavez1693]

I will find it TOO

[@EetFuk8]

at crossroads.

[@mykemztr]

Best guitarrist in the world in terms of techcnic and feeling!

[@dhmig88]

I would love to see a G3 with Andy James, John Petrucci and Jeff Loomis!!

[@tonyrobertsguitar]

Wouldn't that be brilliant!!

[@skateebee]

Maybe g5 w/ Satch and Kiko?

[@eallenlobo5302]

Amazing! Andy is reserved in heaven. Used his life to the best possible.

[@gtrpimp76]

Sounds like themes and variations from Glass Prison, This Dying Soul, Constant Motion, As I Am, and Pull Me Under. Did I miss any?

[@leadguitarofmayhem]

metropolis, hell's kitchen maybe ...

[@jwcorcoran9838]

i've picked up some innocence faded influence because of the string skipping but otherwise you're spot on!

[@martinronningyt]

Maybe panic attack?

[@JasonDeCarloGuitar]

Pretty damn accurate, definitely heard the intro to constant motion in there.

[@nickn4620]

On the backs of angels

I appreciate his skills, talent and knowledge. I feel lucky to be able to discover his music

[@TheAcousticProject93]

I could watch Andy shred forever..

[@1pizzapop]

This is absolutely majestic! the constant motion variation is so killer! and every other part too! Loved the first slower part after the glass prison variation!

[@sandarpanmukherjee1165]

Technique wise I'd say AJ's in the same league as JP.

[@uchihamustaine]

Cool jokes around here.

[@chaos5014]

Nah.... andys better way betterrr

[@martijnvanspaendonck7989]

Sandarpan Mukherjee I would say he is in a far higher league.

[@socksareharder3663]

I have to disagree with that

[@hans-peterjoachim7489]

@@martijnvanspaendonck7989 The thing is he may be way better technically but dont forget what john has already written down. He composed all these beautiful solos riffs and songs. In this case john petrucci is better but just my opinion. Didnt really heard any andy james stuff, i know hes hell of a player but so is john. Johns stuff brought tears of sadness and joy to my eyes. He really can do both.

[@oleksandrchykalo8140]

I never heard anything better than before! Thanks so much and good luck you in the future!!!

[@4572dk]

these licks probably won't be quick to learn

[@Qingskinator]

When you play it slowly to a metronome or a drum beat, which I prefer, then you will learn it faster than you think :) I already got the intro cleared!

[@ChessCat1500]

well, there's John Petrucci's replacement if he ever leaves DT

Either him or Marco Sfogli

[@jfo3000]

No Pettucci, no Dream Theater.

[@MattyyyM]

Andy is so much better than the rest of the licklibrary team

[@athoxos]

Oh my god.I ll throw my guitar out of the window.Nice performance.

[@Sickz666]

When he plays parts like that he is normally following the chords, doing different kind of arpeggio extensions (minor, major, minor 7th, major 7th, 9ths etc) aswell as blending in some passing notes that does not belong to the arpeggio. He often play the same thing through octaves aswell.

[@kamikazikaizer]

This is more like andy james style

[@vincentmasterbassist6784]

kamikazikaizer yeah

[@tylerdees4850]

He mixes his style with other guitar players.

[@Pslams119]

I recently purchased this DVD. Andy James slows down and breaks down each section of the solo featured in this video. My only complaint is the lack of tab. However, I just make my own using power tab editor. From my experience, lick library doesn't include tabs which is disappointing. But, it's a great resource to learn some amazing licks.

[@phantomofoaktown]

andy has some really strong hands

[@user-hj5je3vi6c]

1.27 - 1.50 ! DAMN it Mr Andy James...Excellent JOB!

[@HommaKnarf]

I never understood why he didn't use his JP sig in this video. He uses it alot in other quick licks videos, but not in the actual JP lick vid ;p

[@vincentmasterbassist6784]

Frank Homma because the EC-1000 kicks ass

[@michaelgriffin5304]

Lmao dude have you ever played a JP? It stomps the EC-1000 as far as craftsmanship and attention to every small detail. They are really a joy to play

[@zubiecup]

The EC-1000 does kick ass, but it’s no JP.

[@nickn4620]

I think it’s mostly because of them pickups that he has on the esp

[@RylesPaul]

Hi , I totally agree with you in this point and I really want to practice, so can I have the link to the list of andy james's videos. Thank you

[@brian17xd]

2:37 constant motion mode on

[@maxman2324]

Andy does Petrucci licks! a great motivation boost :D when are we gonna get Andy doing Andy James licks?

[@mahmoudnaguib473]

More like Andy James style quick licks performance

[@scorpionz44]

BEAUTIFUL, OMG exactly like petrucci, andy james is freaking talented i just cant

[@t0xicrouge192]

This is basically just the glass prison

[@ЕленаНиколаева-ж5д]

No fucking way, noob, it's not "basically just the glass prison". First licks are easy AJ version of GP, but the rest are likcs from different DP solos, don't talk shit, u fat fuck xD

[@t0xicrouge192]

Thanks for the comment!

[@t0xicrouge192]

DT*

[@ЕленаНиколаева-ж5д]

I mean Deep Purple lul

[@joelcoool]

Yeah and the end is This Dying Soul, even the time signatures are similar

[@licklibrary]

So any one of the metal edge DVDs or Shred Concepts? ;)

[@nikitaprosin5022]

Andy James style played by Andy James

[@darthzippykins]

When that melody kicks in its so inspiring. Nailed Petrucci's style!

[@dossman6]

1:50 money!!!

[@D0nkamill0]

wat

[@mudwiser1391]

This is where I quietly put my guitar down and walk away, with my head down, in defeat. Incredible playing!!!

[@Macsk8ing]

I love that motherfucking guitar, it's even prettier than a Gibson.

[@denholmrobert528]

as you go along you start to realise how unbelievably overrated gibson is, there are so many better guitars than gibbys out there

[@andreasw2676]

DENHOLM theDRUNK word

[@Johnfranorge]

What make is it?

[@everrest8830]

Johndude that would be an ESP Ecplipse II or I not sure, but they are custom and fucking expensive, however you can get a cheap ESP standard eclipse II with the same features for about 1000 i think, though i am not sure or you could get the LTD version which would be above 500, cannot remember the exact price

[@Pslams119]

Johndude It's an LTD EC-1000

[@SamuelLovesJesus]

It almost looks sped up in a fast forward. Those licks are awesome!

[@JoelSebastianMoreno]

The first part sounds like Megadeth.

[@nicke4900]

Exactly...XD

[@vincentmasterbassist6784]

JoelMetal lol and the part after the dissonant bends

[@jeffreydauhmer385]

Hearing those first couple of notes, I thought, "I think they got title of this video wrong.." That's was some Megadeth-ish shit for sure.

[@izdethdethizthebassist]

2:06 and same the song dread and the fugitive mind.

[@indigoclean]

just love it how Andy nails JP style all the way. Amazing, juste awesome!

[@cbut2262]

lol REALLY suprised you didnt use the music man for this video.

[@nugrohosetiawanpriyandono6863]

Cody Butler me too, the sounds like jp

[@nickn4620]

nugroho setiawan priyandono i was thinking like tone wise

[@alexpetrucci5]

So good, so clean is out of this world

[@epicvsfvror]

This is BETTER than Petrucci!

[@r2r322]

I dont know if anyone already said it but this is a neoclassic perfect adptation of the intro to sugar plum fairy by tchaikovsky. Its so good of a lesson that Indont have words.

[@guitarreilly]

even petrucci isnt this clean

[@xXzulu24Xx]

Petrucci doesn't use a dampener at the nut

[@guitarreilly]

thats what she said

[@SirLoin187]

HA!!!!!!

[@ocyrhys1]

Zac Thomas with or without Andy is A clean player dude :)

[@subutaynoyan5372]

Obviously you haven't listened to Lost not Forgotten.

Thanks for melting my face off @ 1:18, 2:10, 2:30 and finally @ 2:49

Been learning this piece for two years now. Still can't touch it at full speed. INSANE!

[@SixStringsOfWonder]

god...

[@nathanlebovits8264]

The beginning of the solo is ionspired by "the glass prison" great understanding of petrucci's mechanicals, real sound, great ! Real great solo !! Great riff at the end !
