I really enjoy the song i just think the section 4:02 to 4:56 he could have done better it was good but i felt he had a chance to take it somewhere interesting and wild but it just didnt cut it for me. Otherwise the song really sick.
andy james and marco sfogli are the best metal guitarists. they do not only shred with precision and creativity, but when it comes to low string playing they deliver awesome riffs as well.
this guy solos his way through a song....when other people get lost in a jam and throw in a bridge, or a lame chorus he busts a solo that make me wana quit playing
Im torn between What lies beneath being my favourite AJ song or Against the Gods, I think I might just prefer Against the gods, but the new album is Sick,
Hey Andy, what scales do you normally use for your songs? I'm really inspired by all your songs and I'm curious to learn scales which may help with me getting my speed/alternate picking better? thanks :)
@Mauhadeeb28 like i said you don't deserve to have ears. sarah is a phenomenal artist and if you're too stupid to see that sucks to be you. music is a personal choice you judgmental asshole.
@Mauhadeeb28 you're one to talk. all i've seen from u is negativity. i'd be more than willing to bet that the majority of the people who came here to watch this video would agree with me that you're opinion means nothing. you're flat out wrong about the lead tone too.
@Mauhadeeb28 i'm not trying to do anything. quit assuming cuz it's makin u look foolish. and quit patronizing me while you're at it. this is going nowhere and i'm done. have fun living in your own sad little world kid.
@SMDB82 Well, don't call me sad. I am as positive as they come. You are the one who has brought an unnecessary amount of negativity to this channel via name calling("asshole" and "stupid")
Just enjoy the music that Andy James brings. Irregardless if some folks(like myself) do not appreciate his lead tone. Peace.
Dear god this is beautiful, amazing song Andy! I can't wait for the album to come out! I just wish Sacred Mother Tongue sounded more like your solo work (although I enjoyed Ruin of Man).
I want to buy this new album, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding a place to purchase it. Itunes (USA) doesn't have it yet. Does anyone know where I can buy it? Thanks.
In your first version of this you used "Or I assume" were programmed drums, Are all your tracks with a session drummer and stuff? Because it sounds pretty amazing
This is sick, Is there any chance of getting 'A new Dawn' at some point in the future on itunes or something if its not on the new album, that was really good. and is dust in the wind a Kansas cover with you singing and playing an acoustic guitar??
Andy James is so damn awesome, i love his style. Fuck! I just wanna punch a kid in the face. Nah but really, amazing. The crazy tapping lick thing at 1:10 sounds a bit like a part from a solo in Bumblefoots song 'Turn Around'. Just cooler...
cant wait, all time favorite guitarist right here.. must have said that over 5000 times now.. love ya man, when your in Canada let me know were gonna get right fucked up..
Holy crap this year just keeps getting better, and better music wise! I had no idea that Mr. Andy James had a solo album coming out...talk about a great surprise! ...and to Mr. James this sounds phenomenal! I can't wait to get my hands on the full album! You sir are a genius!
men, im not kidding or saying this to suck cocks, but u keep getting even more badass, what would you consider this style of music, its like instrumental metal core or something like that, and its really awesome, i promise to buy the album
A classic A.J piece, i just love this type of compositions, AJ is becoming my new favorite guitarist. The most significant part is that he makes it all look so damn easy!
Also, he mixes up the shred parts with melodic more mellow stuff that really speaks to me, and he seems to be a really nice guy as well! Keep up the Good work m8. I will def buy this as soon as it "hits the shelfs"
Sounds Monster Andy! Its my Bday the 18 of July so I couldnt ask for a better birthday gift than a new Andy James album! Thanks man & keep us posted on your solo tour info ;)
This is beyond impressive. I've been following your activity for years because you are one of the only musicians that possesses both technicality and musicality.
wow I thought you were dead buecause you didn't show life signals in months.! but now i know what you were doing all these time!! THIS IS AMAZING CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE
That's what I'm talking about Andy!! I've been waiting for you to release this! I watched a NAMM 2011 video of you playing it. Great stuff, and Sacred Mother Tongue Rocks!
