The Captain Meets Andy James (Five Finger Death Punch)

[@karmaandkerosene_music]

So glad he's having this success. He's always been a monster player.

[@Professional.Bro.777]

Nolly getgood would be an awesome guest

[@ir8dudefpv]

Andy James is a fantastic player. I'm glad he is finally getting the recognition he deserves!

[@JimsMusicJourney]

Need an interview of the guitar tech. That guy must have some great stories.

[@Chris_Nouvelli]

Met Andy at the London Guitar Show in 2005/6. He was performing on the Ernie Ball stand with his debut solo album ‘Machine’. I remember it vividly as he was playing a MusicMan JP50 - I’m a huge Dream Theater fan. Bought his album there and then and he signed it. I was hooked on him ever since. Years later, my mate lived in the flat opposite him in Norwich. Glad he’s doing well. I do miss his band ‘Wearing Scars’. They had a killer song called ‘Butterfly’ that I still love listening to.

[@michaeldschutte]

I loved that song as a teen in high school too acter watching tons of Andy's educational videos

[@MercutioUK2006]

Andy's always been a down to earth bloke, and one hell of a player. All the hard work clearly paid off, so props to him and best wishes for the future.

[@carbonlord]

Great Job! Andy Rules, so humble and never even speaks of the tons of instructional DVD's he's made for tons of bands, which I have along with his AJ Academy which sadly just closed, but he's a MONSTER player!

[@nickshepley2566]

Arrival is my favorite AJ album 💿

[@1000nthInLine]

Love Andy's solo stuff. Great player and artist

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

Always great to see Andy James! Could you possibly do a 'Captain Meets... Rick Graham' if Rick is up for it?

[@MK-tj5bf]

Andy James is that guy who inspired me to play the guitar. I was learning a few Steve Vai’s solos and Andy was a teacher there. Thanks and respect for this conversation!

[@groovecartell]

Love how chilled he is, great interview.

[@DennisFeinsteinCEO]

Andy has been one of my favorites since his EMG TV stuff 👌

[@jaberahmad5183]

Great interview. Glad to see Andy is getting the recognition and opportunities he deserves. Just hope he’ll continue making the instrumental gems he’s known for too!

[@progdude]

Solid interview. Andy seems really happy with his current gig. Glad he’s doing so well.

[@SteveHatzman]

Andy seems very personable on stage. I’ve seen them a couple times within the last couple years and will see them a couple times later this year. I’m looking forward to watching Andy again.

[@jowen1096]

Awesome interview. Been a fan for a while and watched nearly every one of that guy's instromental play through videos. It's really cool to see that he seems like an awesome dude and not a dbag.

[@bstafford11]

Best Andertons interview EVER! Informative, entertaining, funny, and featuring one of the best modern shredders.... Andy f&c*-ing James!

[@chrisworland7754]

I feel like he is very much overqualified for the position but glad he is happy doing what he's doing at this point in his career

[@kwak_rc9792]

Top bloke. Fantastic player. He defo deserves all the success coming his way

[@fredpastukh3460]

This guy is Brilliant for humanity!

[@jametalboy]

Andy james, A really Good guitar player, A great teacher & a guy with respect. The information he has about the Kemper and the profiles and STL tones is awesome... Even zoltan agreed to his setup... Hard work really pays off... From Lick library to 5FDP. Stay blessed

[@sixty4guitars]

[@seancooper779]

Great guy, awesome guitarist. I'm so pleased he got this big break. He deserves it.

[@Sigma77-n2u]

[@iaing2030]

Great interview Lee. Brilliant to see Andy doing so well in such an awesome band as well.

[@davidp6007]

Cannot say l liked 5FDP....but Andy is a top bloke and an amazing player, really quite special..let's hope is gonna manage to get on with a new album....that would be a treat!

[@flaelna]

I first discovered Andy while watching Lick Library videos about 12 years ago. He quickly became my favorite instructor. An absolutely massive player.

[@crystaloffrost]

Thats one of the best headstock designs I have seen for a long time. They should make a 6 string version though.

[@My0wnSavi0r]

there is a 6 string version. there is link in the video description

[@tragically1969]

Saw these guys support Metallica in Copenhagen, listened to a bit of their stuff but they were a different animal live, crowd was well into them, they nailed it!

[@ruiseartalcorn]

Great stuff!!! :)

[@mobeus84]

These guys have toured relentlessly for over a decade now

[@GarryParker]

I miss Andy in Sacred Mother Tongue.

[@Aussieknuckleheads]

Andy is such a killa player 🖤🔥🤘

[@fullmetalsal]

The world needs an Andy James and Gus G collab album.

[@TristanL585]

I can’t believe he ditched Kiesel a high-quality guitar brand for BC rich

[@Lowend_Chug]

Followed Andy since his Lick Library days. Used his videos to learn KSE tunes. Awesome player. Thanks dude 🤘🤘

[@markbeavers5747]

Great interview!!!

[@GarryParker]

I can't tell which of the three of you loves your job more!

[@si-borg_guitars]

Well done Andy🤟

[@ezekieljarek7705]

One of the best modern metal guitar players, and also a very humble guy 👊

[@TheFlacidFlamingo]

"I knew the parts of the songs but I didn't know who was doing what." That means he was feverishly learning two guitar parts for all of the songs! lol

[@CompleteProducer84]

Andy's demonstration of "50 Killer Metal Licks" for Lick Library is still the single most impressive of 3 and a half minutes of straight up picking I have ever seen. The sheer speed and cleanliness is just on another level

[@tk75jo]

There's not thousands of guitarists on the level of AJ. Maybe 100 tops.

[@Born2007]

I was at this gig!!! 🎉

[@ФилиппКвасников]

In FFDP Andy James, in Megadeth Kiko Laureiro but in Metalica Kirk Hammett😆

[@Disco-Terry]

I want that lamp!

[@tgstk2]

Great down to earth guy. Loved hus lick library days... but i thought he was the age back then which he is now 😂

[@robertlafferry3455]

I’m diggin that lamp. Where do you think I could get one?

[@Yi-pj2lq]

[@markinthemix6055]

[@Vitya_Dotsu]

Did Andy has return to the EMG 57/66 set?

[@vorpalblades]

Fishman Moderns.

[@cmcculloch1]

I know Andy - I thought oh god how much bleeping is in this - 2 seconds in f-bomb warning hahahaha

[@Mister_Hijinks]

Seems like a nice guy. Five Finger Death Punch is absolutely horrendous though.

[@guitargeek1984]

"This video will contain the occasional F word" ... Fender ?

[@dark666shredder]

Nice playinng....

[@theruminator691]

Chairs look kinda Minionsy

[@DoctorFish10]

That’s a high standard…..

[@rossauce12]

" how does a englishman fit into one of the most american bands ever"...... zolton the founders accent must be a souther. Accent😊

[@akwamarsunzal]

Sorry, had to go away and see what this band is! Never heard of them! 🤣

[@robbieegan9203]

Lee. Ask a question. Practice it. Love your work but there’s no harm in practicing the art of interviewing.

[@karolszymanski4791]

Does anybody else think that the cutaway on the headstock looks like a butt plug?

[@boddumblues]

Takes one to know one 😁😁😁

[@antonkishkin]

Didn't lnow that he plays in real band)

[@bl00dy1ng]

Fuck yea Pepsi max

[@fullbodyunibrow7383]

butttttt roooooock

[@roathripper]

[@jutukka]

Of course, because both Five and Finger are f-words.

[@BosGaurus05]

1st comment!

[@GabrielFernandez-qc9jj]

Second

[@BloodBoughtMinistries]

Jesus Christ is Lord

[@parkerohio6424]

Incredible guy……. other than the snorting and lip smacking

[@Mr.Nabil.Belhaj]

I'm convinced that in the last 3 or 4 videos, andertons are deliberately making sure that a pepsi product or logo is in the video. Subliminal ads anybody!! #BDS

[@sgt.grinch3299]

I heard of this band, but I don’t know their music. I don’t listen to music made after 1995.
