New Guitarist Thrown Into Deep Waters 🎸🌊🔥 - 5FDP Profiles (Part 1) Andy James

[@joshmore7175]

Andy James is one of the original KZbin guitar legends. The guy is one of the most accomplished players ive ever seen

[@RiffsAndBeards]

Andy is also one of the nicest most humble dudes in the game. Much respect my man!

[@ethanaubrey858]

Found ya Fluff!😂

[@rek930]

Wouldn't be a KZbin video without some dork throwing out the word "humble" or "genuine"!

[@michellelambert6703]

Guys. I'm your Lyricist and I'm sworn to on my Word of Honor to Disney, Michael Jackson and Queen to Not Write Lyrics for any band that takes on Andy James. Tell me you didn't!!

[@dggoodlifemedia]

Nice to Andy get his due. Humble guy and incredible player. Absolutely one of the best guitarists in the world.

[@AINTEROL]

It was a fantastic choice to have Andy James as part of 5FDP. Seeing him play live after the online experience was so very different. HE IS GOOD !!!!!

[@FerPowerProg]

Andy James is one of my favorite guitarists since the first time I heard it a few years ago. His level of precision, technique and creativity is absurd. He fit perfectly into the FFDP.

[@donatellomega5207]

I saw Andy with his band Scared Mother Tongue about 15 years ago in a club and it was only me and 2 of my house mates that showed up to it. Crazy to see where he is now, happy to see him get the recognition he deserves.

[@jametalboy]

There is no guitarist like Andy James, seeing him with a band like 5FDP is awesome... He surely deserves it for all the years he has worked as solo artist

[@magnumman426]

Andy is one of the most prolific players! The dude is epic. To see one of my favorite instructors in one of my all-time favorite bands is absolutely amazing! You guys all rock! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@franzi5123]

Andy James is AMAZING. One of the best. Keep on going 🤘🤘🤘

[@CoyoteBongwater]

Theyre incredibly lucky to have him

[@WisconsinJason]

Andy James is absolutely amazing!

[@zusanli251]

Andy answering a lick library question I asked him on guys like Wes Montgomery was an honour. Never heard of this band but they're lucky to have him. Incredible player and a really nice humble guy

[@js11t]

I am really happy for Andy, i have been following him for a long time and i think it was a great time to have his shot with an established band. I wish him all the best, and i know he will take this chance and run with it. Fantastic choice from the band, awesome!

[@mortarsight]

I used to learn BFMV songs watching Andy's videos 14 years ago!!!!! Now he is the FFDP guitarist!!! Well deserved mate!!!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@DomTheGuitarDude]

andy james - "i dont think i can do this... their too monsterous..." ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD DOUBTED HIMSELF? man... i love seeing the humble nation of this dude. Truly a great addition to FFDP

[@fireball676]

ive been watching andy for well over 12 years... im beyond happy this dude is in the mix. He is one of the most incredible players on the planet

[@Iamshields632]

Been a fan of Andy's for several years. Always enjoyed his humble yet intense attitude. Amazing player. Hope to get to meet him one day!

[@traezaX1]

One of the best guitarist... Listened since 2012

[@JoneHoftun]

What a crazy time, 2 of my absolute guitar idols have finally gotten much deserved recognition, Teemu with Megadeth, and Andy with Five finger

[@JamesStreetStation]

They couldn't have picked a better guy. Been following Andy for several years, even back before he setup his "Academy" learning. Definitely the real deal, 100% legit. Dude is a fret-beast!

[@guitarist4485]

Andy has been an idol of mine for years!!! I was stoked when I first heard he joined up with ffdp..

[@chasemcdaniel3620]

Andy James was one of my heroes learning guitar. His alternate picking is incredible. And his tapping. Uhhgg he's great...

[@jleote]

To Andy James 5FDP song are like playing m,ary has a little lamb. The dude is legendary.

[@adambell2068]

I’m not gonna lie, Jason Hook is an amazing guitar player and his sound and tone is unmistakable. If you’re going to have to replace someone like him, it had to be with Andy James.

[@gkswift1999]

EXACTLY my thoughts as well

[@pvampman]

Jason must have been super miserable to had left that…just look at that crowd….im not sure if flat back could even pack the first few rows of that place…

[@KenY5150]

Just a great human flawless and incredible he deserves all the success

[@stevenbazan9681]

Ive met Andy he is one of the nicest guys you can ever met and im so happy for him

[@elsie9926]

Andy .....is beyond in ability......defines profiscitly to another level!!!!

[@rpf23543]

Andy James ist one of my long time guitar hero’s, I love his style, he has such a unique style. Very happy for you Andy you got the chance to join 5FDP and get the exposure you deserve! I hope you keep on with your solo stuff….and from now on I start listening again to 5FDP, your impact is clearly seen on the last album…

[@markr1070]

Andy deserves all the accolades...very humble, extremely talented guitarist,, well done mate,, persistence pays off 👍

[@2good2betrue3]

One of the best and one of my favorite "shredders" of the late 2000's,🤘 such a killer player, perfect for 5Finger Death Punch.🔥

[@KentuckyPatriot1776]

Andy is amazing! It couldn’t happen to a better dude.

[@СергейЗюков-щ8и]

F... Andy so cool. I know his guitar a few years. Hi's super. Shred+filling. Its a perfect choice of guitar player.

[@midniteyaya]

Fantastic. Everything y'all do is awesome. Great guitarist. He fits in perfectly.

[@purastijuas]

So good see that the Master Andy is getting this welcomed to a great band !

[@malspeagell1166]

My wife and I were at the Hamburg gig where Andy played his first show. I've said this to him before, but you wouldn't know he hadn't been in the band for years for that concert.

[@odintradez4]

Andy has been my guitar Idol for the last 7 years probably, and I grew up watching Randy, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Marty Friedman, and Yngwie

[@imacashew.]

Good for Andy, he deserves all the love. 🤘🏻

[@erikfelder6814]

We enjoyed your work Andy 🤘😎👍

[@sylvainbeaudoin948]

I was concerned when I heard that Jason left that the Sound of 5FDP would change, until I saw and heard Andy play. He is a very impressive musician.

[@arcocola8183]

Andy shreds. Been lifting to his solo stuff for a while

[@StaceyCook-b9s]

Congrats guys!!!! Well built unit. Its great to see unity seriously!!! The energy and positivity is amazing!!! Have fun and be safe out there. S

[@nebelziehtauf77]

Yu speak the true. God bless Yu 😊

[@bob-ov4iq]

There could not have been or isn’t a better fit for FFDP than Andy James he’s a monster player and has brought an masterful fresh taste to the band

[@lilli63]

I've been a fan for many years now and I'm so happy I finally got to see you in Copenhagen. You were so much more than I expected you to be. Thank you for a great show. ❤🤘❤️

[@PressuredSpeechBand]

Andy is a stickler for practicing and it shows!

[@brandonray8409]

Andy James is a beast and Charlie on the drums is awesome

[@kdooms]

I had doubts. Jason is unique and I really wasn't sure if Andy was going to be able to hit it. You guys came to Nampa last year and I was suitably impressed. Glad you guys called him up and he was ready to go! Way to go Andy! ---- Comon Ivan, he's not just your "old guitar player". Give Jason the credit of using his name man.

[@thecommuterzombie]

He smashed it on the night. What a show that was.

[@nahnotsomuch2292]

I was bummed when Jason left. But, having been a fan of Andy for several years before he joined, I was beyond thrilled when he got the gig. I've always said, people who say 'There are no modern day guitar heroes.' have never heard guys like Andy James and Rick Graham. I mean, seriously go watch Andy's song 'Victory' and marvel at their playing. Amazing players.

[@alfordashley794]

Andy is a true and unique guitar player and Ivan is lucky to have found this guy. 👍

[@thesaj1110]

Andy is a monster of a guitar player, very underrated!!

[@MASTERRIFFS]

Show 🎸🎸🎸máster Andy James 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 👍😁🇧🇷

[@charleskemppel5142]

He is so great and greatly appreciated him

[@emreemre369]

I always wondered when this guy would explode to the scene, glad he is getting the attention he deserved all along.

[@Wellcee426]

Light work for Andy James

[@anistepmusic]

Huge fan of Andy and 5FDP , Great Combo 💥💥

[@googleuser69]

Andy simply is just a badass 💯💪🏻🎶

[@3L3V3NDRUMS]

Awesome job by Andy! You guys all together are so cool and so inspiring! 🤘🤘🤘

[@lilian896]

My first Learn To Play Metal Guitar CD was by Andy James!★ Adore him.🖤

[@johannjohann6523]

I think Andy will be a perfect fit, and hopefully ignite some new inspiration and music with the band. Not only a great guitarist, but really seems to be a pretty good MoFo.

[@plamenpenkov2865]

I watched 5FDP open for Metallica in Copenhaggen in June. Andy killed it. You guys didn't play Bad Company but...I'll let it slide.

[@Sigma77-n2u]

He’s a virtuoso period ! What an amazing pick check out Jam track central he’s also a teacher 😮. They both lucky to have each other cheers 🍻

[@jessetate9701]

Andy James is an amazing guitarist

[@TheMetalMag]

Amazing guitarist great choice been following for years

[@dw5150dw]

I've met andy a couple of times he's super nice guy ...no ego at all

[@johnmoss3990]

So glad Andy got his big shot. Superb guitarist, best there is about.

[@widexawake_]

He's definitely not "the" best, but his name definitely deserves to go in the hat

[@MissesMoody]

Praying I will still be around to see them in them August! Last concert on my bucket list ! I hope my gut is right they are message of stay strong against the evils in this world!

[@martingreenshieldsgingerwanker]

He did amazing job hoping the guys are playing download next year the one n only time i will go

[@petrolheadIT]

you couldn't have chosen a better guitarist than him.... one of the most complete musicians I've ever listened to... with great musical taste, technique but not aseptic... color and punch at the same time.

[@DavidBrown-qp9lc]

Saw Andy and 5FDP in Tamp in 2022. In our big hockey arena in Tampa. About 30 feet from the stsge. Sound was incredible. Both Andy and Zoltan have one of the best live guitar tones I have ever heard!! But, Andy just casually talking about his new guitar?? LOL, " it's like a 6 grand guitar!!"

[@RosesUnread]

Andy James is one of the baddest dudes on the planet

[@scoobybenguitars]

Andys a legend!

[@thesoldierofequestria9266]

[@KR-mt2zx]

Love their music! My guy friends used to be the same way until my husband (and my very best friend) and we got together. Guys, don't expect us ladies to be into metal, but 5FDP is one of my favorites.

[@mwhitelaw8569]

[@seancooper779]

I used to watch Andy all the time on his Lick Library videos. Amazing guitarist and a great guy who thoroughly deserves to be in a big band

[@AdanaKiller]

i get to see him in foxborough last month, got the privilege of playing jekyl and hyde solo in front of me and i got water thrown by ivan and the bottle to my head, it was awesome to witness him shred on first row and fun to get a headshot from ivan lmao

[@dadkingcoffey8333]

First album was the one thing worth listening to . Drastic change after that.

[@douglascasey3486]

I've learned lots from the man over the years.

[@eigonguitartech]

SICK 🤘

[@trebarfield7761]

I could be wrong, but I'm 90% sure that outro lick was played by Jason Hook. He's notorious for that run and bend pattern at the end😂

[@angelapursley2811]

Soooo excited to FINALLY get to see you guys live in BILOXI MS this fall❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@johnnyjohnson1326]

Saw them in Mobile 10 years ago. You are going to have one hell of a night!
