I love how he never uses his pinky, I have a hard time using my pinky it is encouraging that one can truly play great music without having to use your fourth finger. Truly a testament of hard work and determination.
@constantinedanos The point is that you have something to work towards. Dont give up because someone is way better than you (right now). He saw someone who was better than him and worked to be better than that person. AND now look at him. :)
i've got the DVD metal soloing techniques (vol 1.) and it'll easily spice up the playing of everybody who's buying this, it's really well made and filled with great music. andy is a beast and probably THE most underrated metal guitarist of our time.
LOL, I just love how noobs think they can't "shred" on a les paul. Though I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he must not have played an ec1000, yes they look like an lp but they're a completely different animal. Of course I still have to laugh at such ignorance.
@JBaileyism I will. Also even though I’m pretty very much sure, that my next one is a completely hot IBANEZ RG 2560 limited edition from 2010. Go take a look at it on google.
I've never seen a shredder bothering on shredding like that on a pathetic Les Paul thing. I have a Les Paul too but after I have converted to shredding, it is doing nothing else than collecting dust.
@rambot11 Sorry Rambo, I want say something like that again, I no it hurts…. But my 7-string Ibanez with 24 frets and Floyd Rose weights nothing compared to my Les Paul from 94. It’s like comparing an American fat McDonald’s woman with a trimmed hot Japanese tall babe :-))
nah... i didnt like it, sure he can shred good and pick really fast cleanly, but he didnt out the different phrases together well. thats all i got to say.
HEAR ME,AND HEAR ME GOOD!!! I KNOW GUITAR PLAYING...THIS GUY, AND NOTICE I'M NOT SAYING SHOULD BE A SUPERSTAR, I,M SAYING,HE IS (ALREADY) A SUPERSTAR,AND (WILL BE),A SUPERSTAR!!! (MARK MY WORDS)...ALL I CAN SAY IS, (DAMN)!!!
@Rapterr15 Could you imagine how more incredible of a player he would be if he did use his pinky. EVH discovered his pinky back in the day, and look where it got him.
I don't think words can describe this, but I'm gonna go with HOLY FUCKING-OMG-WTF. Seriously, that was some of the most beastly guitaring I've ever heard. \M/
aw... metalcore? after seeing this guy emulate so many different guitarists and playing in so many different styles through brutally accurate phrasing, speed, and feel, i expected much more than just some metalcore... still thrashing though! it's like ear candy.
It's great that you can play fast and all, but can you use all 4 of your fingers? Lol no offense but I see it flopping around and it looks like you're purposely trying to not use it when you play.
@randyward1985 o so u can play like this??? wow u are awsome! -.- and btw... 2:00:2:10, 2:35-2:40, 3:22-3:23... this man is amazing, if u are that good too, then upload a video and stop ctiticizing... if u already uploaded one, let me know, or else u can just suck my cock
@randyward1985 who cares if he doesnt always use all his fingers, he always uses his pinky for power chords. watch the afterlife video to see it in action
Hi! Me and 4 other people have now formed a METALCORE BAND called: Down a winding path! We have 10 songs that we made by our self. The songs includes: Heavy riffs Melodic metalcore riffs Slow & melodic riffs Sweep solos Clean intros And much more... We will soon release our first album. The almbum will be FREE for our fans on Facebook. So just type ''Down a winding path'' on facebook and hit the LIKE button if you want the songs for free when we have relesed them. / Down a winding path
How sick is this shit? Andy IS one serious mother fucker -- HAND to GOD! I've been playing for thirty years (+) and still can't do runs that FAST and CLEAN! Andy is a FUCKIN' MONSTER! God bless you kid!
Even though the sound quality on this video is rather lacking, I'd still much prefer to listen to this, than the version on his new album...................
THE only thing missing is that Andy needs to physically explode right at the end with the guitar neck smoking.....fuck this guy is unreal. I just went and sawed my hands off so I can never play again ;(
@thegodphreaker Rofl fuckwit it was a joke people these days always taking things seriously can t you see the (:P) or are you to blind and dumb to see that
anyway those 3G guitar legend, they are also the best on their way... but i love more to Metalcore technically... that"s why i choose Andy James... :)
By the way, I found out where all the "dislikes" are coming from -- a deaf, dumb, and blind fellow stumbled over to his laptop and accidentally landed on the "dislike" button; it triggered like 50 HITS!!! What other explanation could there be? I refuse to believe that there are that many jealous, unappreciative, clueless assholes out there! LONG LIVE ANDY JAMES!!!
Love the part at 0:24!!! It's STUPID GOOD! It's Andy doing a SICK AND GROOVING Harmonic Minor/Diminished segment that rivals (if not surpasses) anything Malmsteen, Gilbert or Norum have ever done! It's clean (awesome picking technique), creative (interesting runs) and PACKED with feeling (in both left and right hands)... Andy is KEEPING SERIOUS SHRED ALIVE! GOD BLESS this KID!!!
fucking guitar hero in reality... Andy, if u ever read this comment.. dude I owe u alot... I can say I learnt how to handle my electric guitar from u... awesome work...
