  • Your a great player Andy! I hope I'll be half as good as you are some day.But i it kinda bothers me that the songs are very strongly influences by other songs. I can't hear you to well, as I just hear the song it was influences by. Or at least sounds to me like was influenced by. With the country stuff, all I hear is Brad Paisly songs like Nervous Breakdown. And one of the songs as clearly comes from Guthrie Govan - Waves. Lot of Petrucci there to. Some Andy Timmons? but I like you!

  • Pure respect. Absolutely amazing. THANK YOU for rep'in the talent TN has. I wish you the best and hope you get everything you deserve.

  • hey andy awesome playing. one thing that is cool is that you respond to alot of your fans. thats awesome man keep the great vids coming.

  • @siusforeman ah man cheers!

    A Wood

  • I really enjoy your style of playing

  • Hey Andy ive just picked up one of your guitars in the uk. Im wondering if you could give a heads up on your gain tone from 0:18 i have an axe fx ultra but no idea where to start. Cheers pal, the guitar is just fantastic. ALso is the instructional dvd available yet?

  • @Lexothphia howdy! thanks for the interest. im honored you picked up my sig model suhr and i hope you enjoy it! funny you mention the axe, as every sound you hear in this vid was a factory preset. i did that on purpose to show off how good the presets sound. sadly i cant remember which setting i used for which sound but i promise its one of the preloaded settings. i remember the country stuff being a top boost preset!

    dvd is on hold due to DFU writing and recording new demos.

    cheers!

  • @downfromup Love your playing Andy!!! would you be willing to do a demo video of how you do those insane sweep/tapping/string skipping licks like a 0:16 and 6:09 ? Would really appreciate it!!

  • @CptnBingboe sure man, after the holidays i will try to do something for you guys

    cheers!

    A Wood

  • I didnt know God looked like that.

  • Do you use redwirez in the Axe or just the factory cabs??? Great songs by the way.

  • When is the instructional video coming out? Did I miss it?

  • Brilliant ! quite an artist on guitar

  • nice use of harmonics

  • I have a gear related question - what kind of egg timer do you use?  I see one in the background. Think we could get a closeup on that in the next video?

  • Andy, your awesome!

    whats funny is these people on here posting probably don't even play and truly don't realize how great a player you are. And whats they also don't realize that if everyone tried to be someone else, then all music would sound the same. There are a lot of genres that I personally don't care for but that doesn't make them bad players. If you want to see bad players just go to guitar center and listen to 90% of the people blaring amps & trying guitars.

  • what????guthrie's crazy distorted fives lick? 2:47 and then into some sort of distorted waves...

  • Hey Andy,

    great playing.

    ...but sometimes ...sounds like a noodle soup lol.

    greetz

  • I hear a lot of Guthrie...

  • dude i hate your melodic capability ! its not memorable ! thts why i have so say i like guthrie govan better !

  • dude i hate your melodic capability ! its not memorable !

  • Hey Andy I remember watching you play live in a concert on new years of 2010 in Dallas, TX @ trees. I'm not into guitar shredding or anything like that but there's something about your talented guitar performance that catches my full attention. The sound is so perfect! Great job buddy your awesome!

  • How on earth did you get feed back w/ an axefx? Was it loud in theee when you recorded this??

  • Hey andy quick guitar nerd question, how on eartg

  • Andy have anyone ever told you that your playing sound alot like Jesus?

  • what guitar brand is that?

  • Also. That Suhr T guitar is amazing. 

  • Just bought the album!

  • GOD, your hybrid picking is killing me... nice job buddy, if you make an instructional, i'll buy it for sure !!!

  • when i searched for Andy Wood i meant THE Andy Wood from Mother Love Bone --'

  • @joaoa13portugal SORRY i meant ANDREW wood .D

  • the suhr neck's radius is obviously easy to handle with .. am i right .. i must work for 20 years to buy one of those guitars .. :(

    anyway .. Good Playing Andy .. i really dig your style

  • I recently picked up your CD. I must say it's the most inspiring work I've come across in years. Exquisite tones and musicianship. Keep doing what you're doing....this is great stuff.

  • I think your country style and tone rivals the best: Brad Paisley and Brent Mason (if they aren't already THE best)

  • I've always loved that Suhr modern but that T is just awesome too!

  • I havent seen anyone ever jam with as many unique fun styles all in one, ive been A WOOD crazy for the past year! haha i cant believe how natural he is with hybrid picking it blows my mind!

  • very fusiony progressive country rock blues love this preview of your album =] 3:03 reminds me of waves by guthrie govan love it

  • wow

  • Where have all the guitarist like this gone!!! Seems like were completely OVERRUN with players with little style or personality in their playing....just a bunch of note ramblers who say nothing to the listener with their "songs"!!!

  • @ducky811

    I understand your comment but look at societal changes over the last two decades. Look at expectations. Nowadays he MUST be what he is. He must be a professional guitarist, not a runaway from home who only cares about tonight's gig. That life for all of us today...you must be a professional to survive.

    Where is all the good music of the 80s? Studies have much to say about that, but in short: we grew up and we can't appreciate what's new. We like the same things from our teen years...

  • @filipator Damn that's a great way of putting it, I'm 37 and I really hate today's mainstream music. Must of been something in the acid back then:) J/k'ing kids

  • Wow it's so absolutely fusion man!

  • Bloody good aint he?

  • Andy I love your style, tone and technique. Your phrasing is amazing. I have had A Disconcerting Amalgam for a while and I listen to it all the time. Are you planning on doing an instrumental follow-up? What else are you working on now? The instructional DVD sounds awesome! When is it coming out?

  • @CBDPLAYER all efforts are in the new Down From Up album, but i am planning another instrumental record for hopefully next year

    A Wood

  • @downfromup Sounds great! Any information you can share about your instructional DVD and it's release date?

  • @downfromup Andy, I always wondered how much gain do you use when you do your fast/tapping stuff does it vary?

  • what are you using to record ? gear ?

  • @asxefv axe-fx for all tones in this vid. recorded on nuendo at a friends studio

    cheers!

    A Wood

  • @downfromup

    Thanks,

  • There is such a beautiful songs!!!! Amazing! Great work!!!

  • Where can i get the dvd and love the freshness in your style.

  • Is it possible to get your ablum on cd rather than download?

  • @ESPEasel absolutely :) you can grab it at cdbaby.com thanks for the interest!

    A Wood

  • You are the next guthrie govan!

  • @ESPEasel well thats just silly, im not british :b

    A Wood

  • @downfromup Yeah, but you have the same skills as Guthrie, so... ;)

  • @downfromup ah ha ha ha ha AMAZIN

  • @ESPEasel

    sorry man but i don't agree

    this is a recording not improvisation remember it

  • @asxefv but other tha n the heads of the tunes, i improvise all of the solos. they are never the same, thats both good and bad at times lol

    A Wood

  • @ESPEasel I'd have to give the next Guthrie title to Alex Hutchings!

  • Not many great players on YT. But, here's 1.

    Well done.

  • This guy is really impressive. Usually not into anything like this but I really dig his style.

  • you got skills my friend !!!

  • Those are some skillz!!!! Incredible!

  • hey andy how well does the axe fx hold up live?

  • He's f***ing good. What an asshole. :o)

  • axe-Fx with a Compressor in front for the twang guitar?

  • @JerichBlakk no comp, all axe-fx presets

    A Wood

  • does anyone have the tabs too that arpeggio chrous section in chelmsford >_< ??

    i really wanna learn that lick :\ !!

  • @haloshredder instructional dvd coming out soon :)

    A Wood

  • @downfromup Awesomeness :) !!

    Now get it out real quick >_< !!!

  • @downfromup Holy god hurry up so that I can buy like 10 for myself so i can learn every song all at once hahaha. Keep up the good work Andy, I hope I find more time to practice so that maybe I can have the same command of the instrument instead of just being a sort of casual guitarist.

  • @downfromup you have no idea how much I would love this. I've been waiting for something like that from you, but didn't think you'd do it!!

  • This is a fantastic album. It's rare to hear an instrumental album that has metal, funk, chicken' pickin', and bluegrass style songs, and they're all done exceptionally well. Definitely one of my favorite instrumental cd's.

  • i'm curious on how u get the scrunchy on cos i cant see to get mine on. it cant fit through the headstock. and if i use a bigger one its too loose to mute the strings

  • I wish you guys could see Down From Up live. I live in Knoxville, TN, and Andy is phenomenal with the band.

  • @downfromup

    Thanks. Really appreciate the detailed feedback.

    Peace

  • what is the last song? 

  • @GuitarPlaysMike a tune called 11th Hour

    A Wood

  • @downfromup cheers, I bought it :) must say i prefer the solo you did in this vid, which I suppose means you're getting even better lol yay

  • @GuitarPlaysMike thanks man! yeah some sections of my tunes are just beds for improvising, so no two solos are really ever the same. im glad you enjoyed this one though!

    cheers

    A Wood

  • Hey Andy! Wich the specs of your suhr? Thanks man!

    You´re fucking amazing!

  • Andy, excellent stuff. Technically and your phrasing was real intriguing. Question, was thinking about suhr dsh+ in bridge and dsv neck on mahogany carved top with ebony fretboard (coil splitters on both)for an all purpose guitar.

    Does the dsh+ clean up and/or split well ?

    Do you think the double space pickups will compliment the wood better than the single spaced?

    Do you think the dsh+ may be too hot and I should stick with ssh or dsh?

    Thanks

    Nick

    I love to play rock/metal/blues and also j

  • @fatherofusall hey man, i still have 1 suhr with the ssh+ ssv combo. BUT i have swapped out pickups in my 2 main moderns to the dsh+ and dsv. i think this combination is magic with my gear. it has a really nice midrange and the top end is very sweet sounding, they still split really well too! i dont think you would be dissapointed if you tried them,

    cheers!

    A Wood

  • Hey Andy mate greetings from Australia, Im a metal player & all your playing is awsome, I find myself just lovin your country sounding stuff it makes me laugh man (its really cool) keep it up brother

  • BUY THIS ALBUM IT RIPS!!! guitar excellence from Andy Wood, so glad I stumbled upon him on youtube.

  • would it be ok if i pirated your cd?

  • @thricegod1288  is this a legit question???

  • @downfromup yes sir. i have asked alot of bands if its ok i just download their band. . alot of artist i have asked have said they didnt mind, they were just glad someone liked the music. i meant no offense by it, im just asking for your permission, if you say no then i wont download it.

    p.s if you ever come to toledo i will definately buy your merch. i know bands make more in merch than cd sales.

    thanks for taking the time to answer my question btw.

  • @thricegod1288 by no means was i trying to be rude, you just must understand my instrumental stuff isnt mainstream enough to justify people getting it for free. there is plenty of free stuff here on youtube as it is. i would like people to purchase my album if they dig it. hope you understand

    A Wood

  • @downfromup no problem dude, just let me get paid first haha.looking forward to seeing you at namm this year.

  • W0o0w fantastic dude, you have a backing tracks 5:47 - 6:38 i Loove is

  • 2:50 is an awesome riff. Very Guthrie Govan

  • Great stuff, I love the cd! Wish I could afford an Axe-fx and a few Suhrs though!! I guess I have a goal after college though hahaha

  • are you using axe fx or amp?

  • @sild123 all axw-fx and all are factory presets.

  • @downfromup , OK after I watch some of your videos I decide to make a Barbecue with all my guitars ... I saw you last year at NAMM at suhr stand . you are Amazing dude.!!!

    A Wood

  • getting bored of constant virtuosity...

    JOKE

  • You rule Andy! are you going to post full videos of each song?

  • @skleung not planning on it,  i really want people to order the album ;)

    cheers, A Wood

  • @downfromup I understand. I got the album, it's awesome!!! haha But seeing you play it is even more awesome.

  • @downfromup Thats exactly why I didn't post my full song performance vids from songs off my album, and I urge you not to Andy! Especially with these free youtube mp3 downloaders people can get anything they want for free :( Great album btw! I bought it from iTunes a while back and it never gets old man. My Dad and I listen to it like everyday when we drive somewhere! Support Andy Wood and buy the album people!

    Cheers Andy

    -EM

  • 2:50 reminds me A LOT of "waves" by Guthrie Govan :D

  • @xxguitardude93xx i can hear it too, but believe it or not that section was more inspired by steve vai and his crazy slip and slide type of ascending 5th based licks. thanks for checking out the vid :)

    cheers

    A Wood

  • I don't know whether this inspires or discourages me, its so good. I have this album and Andy, as far as I'm concerned you are on par with names like Vai, Satriani, Petrucci, Gilbert, Marino, and Malmsteen.

  • You put a fellow herbert user to shame :P How do you even get to that stage man, learning songs or scale/theory practice?

  • crazy chops man! wow, I wish I could play half as good as you!

  • and... ehm Andy u really ROCK!!!

    GREAT!!!!!!!

  • best sample of the axe-fx i've heard so far....

  • Awesome video Andy I'm posting it up on Guitar Noize right now for you!

  • @guitarnoize  cool brotha :D
