In all his videos... His Guitar actually matches the entire setting of the rest of the room. Looks like he's shredding in a scene from the movie "Blade Trinity"

[@TheUltimateSeeds]

I've been playing guitar for around 57 years now (since I inherited my older brother's Fender Jaguar back in 1963). I'm a huge fan of players like John Petrucci and Guthrie Govan and the like. However, after just now discovering Andy James, I've got to say that his style of playing where he combines soul penetrating minor scale melodies with frenetic bursts of some of the most appealing note choices I've ever heard, is precisely what I wish I could have been introduced to when I first started playing. Today's kids who are just starting out learning how to play guitar are incredibly lucky to have such inspiring sources to guide them. _______

[@R3ZZNOR-03]

do you know about buckethead ?is the real master haha

[@eshedguitar]

I really do feel lucky having discovered AJ about when I started playing guitar. I may have gotten a little obsessed with him lol, it's important to aquire various influences but he's definitely the main guitarist I've been looking up to for about 8 years now, I don't see that changing soon haha.

[@jdaniels4898]

On point mate. And, i'm also glad that thesee days youngsters are able to check out such a stunning work. I hope that one day we will have people appreciating mastercraf pieces rather than some utterly common mainstream stuff.

[@jeffsond]

@@R3ZZNOR-03 ya, Buckethead is good but Andy is on a different level above him. Andy’s song are mesmerizing beyond words

[@R3ZZNOR-03]

@@jeffsond i dont think is above buckethead haha but its personal preference and nobody cant play with the emotion that buckethead plays

[@nvaarlaviran7168]

Man i couldn’t come out of this track. Like a maniac I was repeating this all f’ing night without any sleep and then went to work and still repeated this. I cannot stop

[@TheCornerCade]

Andy james you are absolutely incredibly insane, I’ve been listening to your stuff now for a year straight no other artist, ever since i discovered you, your music rocks in every aspect.

[@dannyspitzer1267]

Insane skills and technique. Plus melody. Andy is out of this world.

[@stijnvannoort8401]

Hell yea man, i think he's one of the most underrated guitarists out there. Deserves wayyyyy more attention

[@27pugsly]

Was gonna comment the same thing !!

[@emayfrit]

Have you guys heard of AJs Insane Workouts (I would say Etudes on Stereo-Roids)? The tracks/tabs/ backing tracks for Minor Mayhem: Arpeggios, Picking, Tapping and Pentatonics are absolutely insane. I just dusted off the files a minute ago, and felt I had to share the amazement and inspiration with fellow enthusiasts!! Cheers!

[@jeffsond]

And 49 goofballs disagree...🤷‍♂️

[@irmaztamal21]

But both Andy & Petrucci shakes their head to Guthrie Govan performance

[@dragchainreaction]

Andy’s the only one who has managed to study the greatest shredders and adapt a style that is fresh but nostalgic.

[@codybranham5257]

I would counter this with a guy named Jason Hook.

[@istillsuckatguitar]

Paul Wardingham

[@zieglers4114]

Cody Branham yeah, Hook is freaking amazing as well🤘🏻

[@symphonyofshred]

He has string skipping and picking that rivals paul gilbert.

[@symphonyofshred]

And tapping that rivals Michael Romeo.

[@Edenscribable]

In my opinion you're probably the best guitarist on the planet right now, consistancy, techniques, and grace while shredding. Absolutely frigin amazing man!

[@chelosocal8704]

Oh Lord have Mercy

[@anangrysack]

This is the only reason the aliens let us live. To make cool sounding shit

[@mry82]

Haha, plausible...

[@interqward1]

This is... ...a fact.

[@eddiekingham]

Fucking love that alien shit

[@georgeramos2176]

😅😅😅

[@JohnDoe-qt8wh]

I think you're on to something!

[@kevinpena3478]

Andy James himself is a work of art so nostalgic the rythem the shredding the breakdowns nothing but unique work skills and humbleness soul rockin music

[@lamboi8537]

I'm an Indian and tomorrow (15 August) is our independence Day, I'm gonna enjoy with this song because I find this music so liberating! Salute to you man big man.

[@xaldyvaldez1026]

His speed and accuracy plus the melody is just mesmerising \m/

[@masterkingsir3714]

no one is better at that instrument than you!!!!! you create the greatest songs ever I love your songs I love your style!! your just awesome like heaven.

[@mikegaskill4591]

Andy is freaking out of this world man. Not only can he play fast, but the composition of his songs are incredible! 🤟🏼 Frickin brilliant!!

[@Patmanc6]

Andy is hands down the best guitar player I’ve ever heard! I just can’t get enough of his stuff! It’s simply mind blowing!

[@willf.85]

This video is a little bit old but I absolutely LOVE Andy James guitar playing/shredding. I also know every time I see him shredding this fast, my fingers start hurting and I feel arthritis kicking in and I'm just watching him lol. He's THAT good to me. Phenomenal skills on display here.

[@DavidNwokoye]

"An unexpected notification but a welcome one"

[@steinnbjorn7627]

You're literally everywhere, lol :D

[@pankajmahanta7493]

One of these days i will smash my head against the wall listening to Andy James if he keeps making such kick-ass tracks!! 🤘🤘 It's my birthday today and my ears couldn't have asked for a better gift!! You rock sir!!! 🤘🤘

[@midiot777]

One of the only shredders that plays music. thanks from Vegas

[@TodayTomorrowMusick]

it's very possible that he is currently the best guitarist in the world, what a techniq wow, just a master

[@MRINMOYSARKAR]

Andy james is himself a genre of music. Every time spot on as expected , Lots of love and respect to the metal master ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@victorhayes5471]

Man, it is like I can feel my pineal gland open listening to this.

[@japrapetroz3437]

Man, love your tone so much

[@JD-pw1ww]

This why he has been one of my biggest influences for years 🔥🔥🔥🔥 nobody can shred with such precision in my opinion

[@adamspringer2442]

Best guitar composer and guitar player I have ever heard! And I have heard thousands!

[@ctpmark]

Excellent Song Structure, groove, melody and some of the best chops around.. Perfect!

[@rickyb9119]

The lead tone on this album is incredible. The etherial aspect it has completely sets the atmosphere of the music.

[@julius-thewiseloner7040]

20 seconds and I was already on it! What a nice riff!

[@emayfrit]

Julius, what do you think of the new album, man...I think its incredible!

[@WarPwny91]

This man is the only guitarist that matters anymore...🤘🏾

[@sarcasmoassholio2801]

Seriously...he has all the elements of a balanced shredder combined with the most precise melodic technique. Reminds me of the Racer X and Cacophony days with Gilbert, Friedman and Becker on Shrapnel records

[@SpykeZ0129]

You're not wrong. I don't follow any other guitarist like I do Andy.

[@CoolStuffDad]

SpykeZ0129 I resemble that statement- watched his YT channel frequently, got his albums, saw him live, chatted up guitar with him- best guy you’d meet!

[@gtyrone83]

Kiko and Stevie T are cool too

[@DigitalLoom]

What are u talking about!! What about Andy Timmons what about Steve vai what about all these Kissel artist their in a nother level!! The truth is we’re all god like it should be called die a god

[@timtandy9129]

melodical just like my life. I resonate with you Andy James. you are my hero

[@OrionMelodyMusic]

Ugh! That lead guitar tone is so smooth!

[@jhonmontiel105]

Buenos aires,Argentina presente 🤩 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

[@Sheppard2030]

Nice. I've been looking forward to more since "Arrival". Great work, sir.

[@MetalGuitar06]

Thank god andy is still going, been a fan for many many years. Even bought a 7 string years ago because of Andy. Freakin beast.

[@zaviercadorin6244]

This guy has become phenomenal would love to see him live with a band behind him!

[@nidowl9285]

Amazing melodies combined with amazing techniques, that's Andy James.

[@jomesias]

Andy I’m officially calling for a release of the backing track for Die as a devil! Amazing, this song has so much feel, it’s so refreshing! Like to support!

[@emayfrit]

Mr. Ortiz, its the army of guitarists like you and me that make it worth it for AJ to release tabs and backing tracks. I've been working on all those licks with the backing tracks since two days ago, go get it already man at the andy jamesstore.com, hahahaha

[@emayfrit]

Andy James, the chorus melodies and verse variations all stand tall, classic Andy James sound and vibe while absolutely unique. The opening riff and verse combine to sound like a build up to a serious showdown. I must say then, after a killer 2nd solo at 1:21 from start to finish, that bridge to the the last solo, tells you its game over to all opposition, and impresses into the listener's experience the triumphant foretelling of an absolutely vicious TKO, and in ferocious fasion at last the arsenal is unleashed in the form of a flawless and beyond expert 3rd solo. This material is in the groove the whole way through - we love the dedicated product of absolute determination!

[@kellyford8832]

i really love how you manipulate the melodies. and then CRUSH THEM with metal HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA all your music has DIMENTION that NOBODY is ready for when encountering your AMAYZING music. you ARE truly A GUITAR GOD

[@ericodiot2915]

One word : phenomenal ! Andy is from another world . And 5FDP are so lucky !!!!!

[@mascot5943]

You nailed it with your every chords.🤩🤩🤩

[@angrydwarf6563]

In the realm of “balls and chunk” that backing riff has spuds like bowling balls. Awesome Andy.

[@TonberryGames]

Andy, you have this way of just changing my mood within the first second of your songs

[@rawraj239]

All time favourite Sir Andy James..Lots of Love from India. Stay safe.!

[@R.E.A.P]

[@sarthakmadhur2533]

The redder shredder -Andy james Love from India bro

[@5kolakola]

Andy - ты как всегда лучший!)) очень технично сыграно и грамотно) красавчик!))

[@dannyspitzer1267]

I like Petrucci too, but Andy is the only modern day shredder that I really listen to. Such a beast!

[@skateebee]

You should check out his guitar lesson in the style of Petrucci. The lesson is based around a piece that he wrote and totally nails the JP style. The first few min of the vid is that demo piece and it's awesome.

[@lifefarer2633]

you should try Angel Vivaldi, i mean the away with word album, personally i prefer the melodies instead of thecnique

[@istillsuckatguitar]

Paul Wardingham?

[@jasontodd5953]

Andy Gillion is a must listen ...album Neverafter

[@Henry-et2bb]

[@emayfrit]

Did you pick the new AJ album CSIL on Bandcamp? I've got to go dig into this new Die a Devil tab and backing track for the next two or three hours, Right Now! Hahahaha!!

[@davydtune]

His playing is ripping but still has so much soul and feel.......the tastiest shredder :)

[@charleschad1004]

If there have 5 list my favorite guitarist Andy James would be no.1 🙌🔥

[@tonyrobertsguitar]

Those Heavy AF intro chords get me every time

[@droidfan]

What can you expect from a guy who part of his legacy are instructional videos on how to play like Yngwie, Vai, Petrucci, etc? A monster amongst monsters! Huge long time admirer!

[@scotchgod8478]

The speed and technical skill is just insane, well done mate!👍👏

[@adalbertusignatius4967]

And dont forget the song writing skills. He does everything by himself.

[@skateebee]

Another track of superb quality!

[@paulpetersen4401]

Best lead player ever

[@Redwan_Shishko]

[@michaeltwiddy88]

Honestly the only virtuoso where I've liked all the songs! This guy is inspirational 👏 🙌

[@thefingerwitch]

Just plain insane👊👊👊 I have been around since it all started- from Yngwie to Satch and Vai- Holdsworth and the fusion guys- Macalpine and Vinnie Moore- Gilbert...Guthrie... but I gotta say my man here has wicked ridiculous technique-BUT it’s the linear melodic content that puts him far above everyone else...those bends and slurs are spot on. . Now THAT is “Not of this earth” !!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@rmanor5508]

When a song gives you chills!!!!!!!!!

[@nuclearkibbles]

It blows me away that you consistently make me go "classic andy" This time it was at 0:56

[@alphaomega7330]

Perfect as always!

[@jlira01]

I favorite every damn song. Maybe I'll just set this channel as my home page.

[@ashlyace438]

I play your songs to my mom, and she likes it. That's a sign of quality, man)))

[@TonberryGames]

I was rocked out from the first note. And then 0:22 happened and I'm like yup. This is all I need. I'm good. Thank you Andy I'm so glad I found your channel.

[@osamasatari401]

Insane Song Man

[@JeffSanchez19]

That was so sick man, great to see new content!

[@RIMOCEROS]

Great Playing as always! I think you can also definitively hear some influences of his time playing with 5FDP.

[@TJ19_Forever]

My Goodness !!! Mind blown away.... You're the perfect Shred Machine !!!

[@fyremaelstrom2896]

That melody. Heaven.

[@lianghu6298]

[@1Mr.Qman1]

Looks like Five Finger Death Punch style with technic Andy James

[@rovmendoza]

[@MurkyWaterCentral]

Definitely!! Takes what he learned from Jason Hook and blows it out the water!!! Andy is Awesome!!! Jason Hook is awesome too in his own!!

[@27pugsly]

Murky Water Central is he still in five finger ?

[@MurkyWaterCentral]

Mike Guitar Player yes he was just out for a bit

[@Destrozz6D]

Oh, this aged well

[@TheSurviver72]

Just what my ears needed. Excellent work, Andy. 👍

[@amoincof]

Dude. Andy, you are such an inspiration and truly one of the best 7 string players i know of out there at the moment, IMO. Just thought you should know.

[@OldMysticFantasist]

Only 2 words come to mind, DAMN DUDE!

[@jaycue7641]

Dude I was psyched to see this pop up in my feed! AJ is definitely one the best new shredders to start breaking out. Love his tone, chops, composition and musicality. His instrumentals dont sound like wanking. They're complete songs. They have so much emotion and power. He mixes melody with shredding better than almost anyone. Loving it dude! Keep it up!

[@dragchainreaction]

I wish I was 10% as good as Andy, I spend my time fangirling on every video instead of practicing
