Extreme Metal Pentatonic Licks - Guitar Lessons With Andy James Licklibrary

[licklibrary]

@borus55 This isnt a DVD for someone starting out, we have this labelled on our site for Advanced players. We would suggest looking at our absolute beginners DVDs. Lead and Rhythm, Danny Gill teaches you all the fundamentals to playing guitar. Will send you a link to the DVDs via your YouTube Page.

[DustinAndNatasha]

I look up to Randy Rhoads, Syn, Malmsteem, Alexi, Dimebag, and Zakk. Andy James is all of these in one!

[jevusxhim]

heartagram

[IMaDEM0N]

(surrounding) 1:20 "a lot harder...because it requires a lot of left-hand stretching".....I have HUGE hands...I was able to palm a full size basket ball when I was in 6th Grade (1996)...okay, 6th Grade (for me, anyways) was before puberty...NOW (early 2012) I'm 26 & a Half years-old...my hands a fucking HUGE...Stretching isn't ANY problem for me....

[oogercrackle]

Wow that's the fastest pinky I've ever seen

[motoacker]

Jamie oliver of shredding hahaha

[TheJamesyBoy971]

how can you actually play all these riffs and everything. I'm going to sound weird but I'm going to look up at u from now on

[Mothersun000]

LOve it

[willworkformoney69]

He can play legato better than he can say it haha

[TheFurryMetallicaFan]

THATS WHAT HE SOUNDS LIKE? LOL thats hilariously awesome

[VoraciousBlood]

I think extreme metal is like Black Metal, Blackened Death Metal, Brutal death metal, Technical death metal, PornoGoregrind, Grindcore etc... but does not sound like that.

[Vasckin]

what dvd do you guys have for gaining finguer dexterity and streching?

[licklibrary]

@Vasckin Hi there, yeh we have Guitar Aerobics DVD series which focuses on stretching. Will send you a link to the Beginner / Advanced DVDs so you can see which you might find more useful.

[DemirGuitar94]

@licklibrary Can you send me that link to please

[Ljthepunisher]

@licklibrary could you send me one too?

[darcys91]

@Vasckin save your money learn major and minor scales

[DustinAndNatasha]

I am definitely no beginner. I don't consider myself an expert either so this dvd would be perfect for me. I have been playing for about 9 years now. I love metal riffing and I have been trying to do better with solos.

[ilovepizz]

A lot of strength in my left hand? OH MY, all those years of masturbation have finally paid off!!!!

[BadFinger1997]

This dude should make 2 billion a year, drive a bugati, have a hot wife, and a guitar made out of the wood on the cross(for those of you who watch Metalocalypse).

[guitarplaya1035]

I want Andy's babies... That is all.

[SGawesome]

I didn't know Jamie Oliver played guitar

[jakeyyvampiree]

Hey man, how long does it take to master these licks? on average would it takeweeks/months? 

[badbig123ghuf]

what kind of les paul are you playing in this video

[NeroXxTheXxlost]

@badbig123ghuf It's actually an ESP EC-100 In vintage black

It's worth about 700$ to 2000, depending on where yo ulive and if you get in online seocnd hand etc, bad-ass guitar dude. for really heavy styles

[insanocide123]

turn on the captions. nuff said

[zzerovisibility]

bad ass player.

[nlo13]

Andy James, you are amazing.

[kungfudragon99]

@nlo13 no. it's white.

[MrDeepakSubash]

Do you have a DVD on How to play Andy James ?

[useronuralp]

lemme guess his favourite color black ?

[MrMaDaFaKaR]

I'm in Tahiti - French Polynesia, can you post dvds to tahiti?

[licklibrary]

@MrMaDaFaKaR Hi there, Yes we deliver to the French Polynesia! All the best!

[realdealteal1]

hey, are these dvds really user friendly, i mean im no expert so i was wondering if they are broken down nice and slow.

[licklibrary]

@realdealteal1 Hi there, these dvds are broken down, but he doesnt start form a beginners perspective, he teaches to someone with knowledge of already playing for sometime, if this is something your after then this should be good for you. Let us know and will email you with some more options. Hope that helps.

[zzerovisibility]

F@#@$% can this guy play!

[metalvampire660]

Please anybody, tell me why isn't this guy hellish famous?

[rmramos76]

As cleanly as Andy plays i would like to see him do a cover of cliffs of dover could u ask him if he would be willing to?

[scottfree6]

@rmramos76 why would you doubt that a guy like andy james who has a picking technique and speed that is really on par with greats like mr. alernate picking himself paul gilbert who himself concedes to mr. james" proficiency as being amongst the best in the world. i mean it sounds like you think that he would be afraid of that?, or in some shape or form start stumbling around the neck, come on dude, i mean eric j is one my alltime favorites but there are quite a feew people that can play cod ttt.

[3rdemon]

who said Zakk Wylde???? ME!!! try those penthatonics dudes ;)

[arskawowwow]

he is a metal Jamie Oliver!

[tacoia]

i love these techno licks so much :)

[ellis0896]

[steelattack]

Are you brother of Jesse James?

[f2kflyer]

This, or the shred in 6 week series? Can't decide.

[neverlandneverfly]

@f2kflyer go for this the shred in 6 weeks is also good tho..

[f2kflyer]

I am considering buying this DVD. Possibly the whole set. I like Andy's style, but I am torn between something like this, and maybe his Pentatonics DVD, or Nuno style DVD. I've been playing for many years, but I'm in a rut. Stuck at an intermediate level.

[blondiebabae]

Look at that flying flailing pinky!!!! You sir, are damn good, even if I can't quite grasp why...

That's ok tho, you guys would all cringe if you saw my "Jimi-thumb" lol.

[nate12779]

can i order this from Canada by any chance?

[licklibrary]

@nate12779 Hi yes you can order this from us and we will deliver to Canada!

[ChanielDang]

I love it when he uses that guitar. it looks cool

[usetheforce93]

I have been playing guitar for about a year, and this guy makes me feel like a noob. He's a good teacher though.

[soadruleztheworld]

A hairband is used by pros such as Greg Howe to minimize strin noise.

[nate11star]

@soadruleztheworld thanks for the info....I was just asking myself why the hairband lately.

[mateo2711ify]

NOTE TO SMART ASSES: If maybe someone here play guitar better than this guy- Record some videos, make response and show us how to play metal pentatonic licks.

[xaeptyy]

seriously. you are obviously a petrucci fan, why dont you make a dvd with petrucci ?:D

[licklibrary]

@xaeptyy Hi there we do have a Dream Theater DVD For release real soon! This is also by Andy James!

[DisturbedBitBox]

@licklibrary This is something I would like to buy

[BowlingWithGrenades]

What guitar is this?

[CapnPuff69]

Holy... Fuck...

[burnsometrashcans]

DAYVEDAY

[kohit7]

beautiful guitar

[Akinnss]

I would buy it if I liked the way it sounded, I don't Stop shredding!!! You are awesome, but stop shredding, everyone does it and they all sound the same.

[HitaroX]

@Akinnss not everyone does it, and not everyone sounds the same, that's stupid to say, and you are clearly a guitar noob or just raelly arrogant and unintelligent for saying that.

[licklibrary]

@Octane2009 Hi, we sell DVDs not books. But if you go to our website the shipping will calculate in the shopping cart.

[dolofonostousaranta]

what pedals i need to play good thrash metal?

[BladeSkater64]

@dolofonostousaranta If your looking for the early 80's Thrash movement sound (Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer) I would go with either the BOSS MT-2 (Metal Zone) or the BOSS MD-2 (Mega-Distortion). You could also try the Metal Muff from Electro Harmonix. Thrash is by far my Favorite kind of Metal :)

[MH50RemoteNation1]

@dolofonostousaranta Hardwire metal distortion. (tl-2) it's a very versatile pedal and it has true bypass. it's the best distortion pedal i have ever owned.

[dakotamanomgwtf]

@dolofonostousaranta boss metal zone mt-2 thats what i have and it kicks ass

[HiImJerry8]

@dolofonostousaranta get a boss mt-2, a dunlop crybaby wah and a boss ns-2

[Videoguru184]

Gosh i wish i could do that.Theres so many dvds i wanna buy from u guys but i dnt got the money! I wanna be able to write my own stuff to. And i dnt recognize much difference with the hairband trick. I have alot of fuzz coming from my amp and i dnt see any other amps dong it but mine and its brand new. Any suggestions?

[lotrringereras]

its not that i am lazy but i just dont know how to not hit the other strings with my tapping hand when tapping

[str8organic38mm]

hahah look at his bum pinky

[pissballs]

This guy is quite amazing I just found Andy! Very articulate and humble. I'm a big fan of Guthrie Govan to. That was a huge compliment! I'll be checking Andy more in the future! Excellent find.

[2strong2cool]

this guy is a mindblowing player and a good teacher too

[GamingLeeLee]

well I'll be getting this then, my speed lick inventory is really lacking

[premkumar241]

sexy!

[edwardtang1977]

what is that muting thing on the neck ? what is it made of? thanx

[licklibrary]

@edwardtang1977 Hi there, this is a Hairband / hair tie. Helps mute out the unwanted noise on the strings when tapping etc.

[clarkied]

@licklibrary Wouldn't it be a good idea to show how to mute string noise with the right palm without using a head band, not knocking it or anything, just a suggestion to the guitar players out there =]

[Sunderlanding]

@licklibrary It's the perfect tool for someone who's too lazy or incompetent to learn how to mute on their own!

[licklibrary]

@Sunderlanding We disagree with you there.Theres some great guitarists who use this method of muting, Andy being one. You need to understand - half of them use this method for recording purposes and not necessarly 'live' -and if they do use it live - big deal.Lick Library is a recording environment and thats why some of the tutors here use one.We can tell you for definate Andy is completely competent playing without the hairband and not at all lazy.Id say that goes for alot of guitarists aswell.

[Sunderlanding]

@licklibrary If they use that method of muting they are ok guitarists at best. In order to have total control over the instument you must be able to mute at any point on any string. This is what a great guitarist is capable of I'm sorry but if you can't do that you're only ok. Muting, like speed picking, is an essential tool for any serious guitarist. It's an important technique that gives your playing more dynamic control, but obviously Andy James only cares about playing fast.

[lawson25303]

@Sunderlanding i would love to see your video of your playing better and cleaner than andy, seems you talk alot of smack but dont post to back it up, Andy James is simply one of the best guitarist in the world, get over it.

[PutItAway101]

@Sunderlanding unfortunately you're retarded

[SweetNoteage]

@Sunderlanding So you are calling Guthrie Govan a OK player?

[f2kflyer]

@licklibrary

Agreed. Why are so many people making a big deal out of this. Like it's some kind of magical crutch that is allowing him to play so well. Whatever! AJ is immensely talented musician - the hair band is inconsequential.

[metalhead6777777]

@Sunderlanding maybe you should stop judging other musicians on how they play their own way to sound good.Every musician has their own unique way of playing and of feel and speed with technique even if they use something to mute the unecessary sound.Andy is free to do what he wants with his music like every other guitarist should.I like to see you try using the tapping technique without getting the unwanted noise that andy is using...Ive been playing for2yrs but play 3-7hrsa day cause I love it.

[Chaz6993X]

@Sunderlanding Michael Angelo Batio patented his own string muter thing.

[guitardude7]

you need make a john petrucci dvd and a joe bonamassa dvd

[HolyGK]

Andy James Is Gentle !!!

[Prismace2009]

No....... Dean Giutars are the shit. lol

Well atleast my custom Dean is. I don't know about everybody else. All others suck like Dave Mustaine, Michael schenker, and Michael Amott. Ironically the're my IDOLS!lol man i love being sarcastic

[lumaric01]

@Prismace2009 Right on Dean makes quality and low end shitty guitars like every other company

[MRWHITE3535]

Andy James is a great guitarist but makes himself look like an amateur with that hairband on the neck of the guitar to deaden the notes, you couldn't play a gig and coming up to a solo stop to place that! Most guitarists use the palm of the picking hand to deaden the notes they not playing not hairbands!

[DoomScytheBand]

Gibsons ARE overpriced I agree But the guitars arn't bad. ESP is just the choice more metal people made Like Behemoth and Dimmu. Personally I'm more of a Jackson guy BUT I'm also sporting Rondomusic's Hornet 7 and SX LP copy w/ floyd

[acewing24]

can i hear this guy play anything but metal shredding? i wouldnt mind hearing some other styles ,,theres a million people doing this shit out there ,,but he does have raw talent ,,i just wish he played other stuff ,,

[licklibrary]

Within the Metal Edge range - Andy James only plays Metal. Anything specific your looking for?

[licklibrary]

If your after more stuff on Pentatonics - we have a Power Pentatonics DVD out by Jamie Humpries. Hope that helps. :)

[acewing24]

was more or less hopeing he played other styles or rail some sweet melodies down ,,none the less a great guitarist ,,

[DoomScytheBand]

@Xenorocker73 & Coathung: Or Matt Heafy of Trivium

[jagcag123]

@coathung ok dude...

[xenorocker73]

Go and tell that to Angus Young Man!!!

[jclp777]

he sucks ass i'll tell him that shit

[Metal666Killz]

I'm just saying, Ibanez JPM P4! :P

[mrbones410]

He's rockin a heartagram beanie.

[Canabolism]

lol ESP are the jizz. i have a ec1000 and its the SHIT!

[eveguitars]

no, you mean its shit

[dayiiv]

no they are not. the pentatonic is a simplified version of other scales. they are just a five (penta) note (tonic) version of other scales.

[koolakron]

wrong try again...

[rasenganlord217]

Where is he from cuz i saw him in Norwich last week and Man he is tall,

[cmcculloch1]

@rasenganlord217 Andy James ...? he isnt tall! he not short but he aint tall lives in Norfolk he said on a recent interview

[RippinSkullz]

@cmcculloch1 Norfolk where?

[scotty688]

His ESP is mad! I'd rather one f those instead of a Gibson, honestly.

[xXlYlacXx]

ESP is the best just look at the one i have, its a amazing guitar i love it =D

[guitarherolover666]

me too... me too

[eveguitars]

not once you play one next to a nice gibson. I used to think that but they just sound crap compared to most gibsons. I've had several of both and always end up back with a gibson

[HigherBecker]

me too!

[homesauce69]

ESP is way better quality than Gibson. Gibson is still using old ways of building and are way overpriced...but whatever I can go on and on about overpriced/overrated Gibsons...

[AhsanU]

Have you ever played an older custom Les Paul? There is no comparison what-so-ever. ESP's Eclipse 1 was pretty good, the Eclipse 2 is decent too but I'm sorry, neither of them compare to an older Gibson Les Paul.

They may be overpriced, but you get what you pay for. Nothing, and I mean nothing, feels like an original Les Paul.

[sasdori01]

@homesauce69 hah ty sum1 hu gets me lol amen bro

[MrdacPrdeli]

@scotty688 It is LTD...

[12inchvertical]

he's not short of technique this lad

[wilbo121]

you see.....english are just the best...

[guitarfetish342]

yeah except they're not

[LayerONEVIZ]

he is like a fat jamie oliver

[Umaiketsu]

Dropping the Pentatonic scale is just as much of a handicap to your playing as knowing nothing but it.

Stop being a shred-elitist.

[MetallicaTriviumLoG]

@Umaiketsu maybe thats just how some pple wanna play man

[aznjt]

ahhh.. hes English!!

[AdamBlack88]

And??? What does it matter where he's from???

[devilsmonkey1]

whats so bad about being english?

[saumier1]

I like the box scale, I know it's elementary, but fuck, After a nice toak, I warm up with the pents! put a smile on your face everytime!

[thelordofthestrings]

Children's Scale? LOL, I guess Zak Wylde is just a big baby to you then ;)

[pfizer]

Interesting video here. I'm thinking of getting either this or Pentatonic Concepts by Alex Machacek also by LL. Anyone have suggestions on what I should go with?

[Rg1527]

this one is amazing i have it and its the best pentatonic DVD out there

[nikogodlesstree]

ESP LTD EC 1000 BLK

[Unknownbmxr]

not an emg fan, but that's a real nice guitar

[6footginger]

[livepunx]

[Esbanez]

ESP LTD EC-1000

[Rrrrobbo]

[dbikeguy]

nice extreme metal pentatonics, might as well have just said how to play like zakk wylde haha thats what he does, pentatonics.

[jclp777]

hahaha zakk cant play this bro

[GitarrPwnz]

yeah zakk wylde sucks

[Interkomkomind]

I'm pretty fucking sure he can ..

[lintball0190]

how do you guys know what zakk wylde can play ? unless you are zakk wylde you don't know his ablities..

check out his stillborn acoustic video..he shreds better than many can an electric
