[TheDoneroll]

nice playing Mr. Andy !!!!! what's the model of this guitar?

[VanPokeDamme]

@TheDoneroll It's an LTD H-401FM (2009 model)

[Parkway808]

there isnt a troll alive that can talk shit about that.....fuck :D

[TheKHeavy]

The shred starting at 3:34 is the best thing I have ever heard, thought the fretboard was going to go on fire

[CreeCore94]

iv been playing guitar for 3 years now.. and i can say that im pretty good.. after watching this.. im going to rethink my playing style.. the spaceyness of those sweeps and stuff are amazing.. not to mention the tapping is great also..

[metalmikebot]

It's so weird that he stretches so wide between his first and third fingers, and hardly ever uses his pinky. But hey, it's not like anyone's dumb enough to tell him he's doing it wrong!

[tenhundredkills]

@metalmikebot Actually, if you read far back enough, you'll find a few idiots that say that his lack of pinky use is "wrong". But like I said, they are idiots after all.

[meshuggah220]

I need more Andy!!!

[Think567]

All I can say is wow.

[MyGreatFall]

Paul gilbert wouldn't need to tap in this song, he would just use his pinky!

[YnoT0207]

3:34 - 3:41

All you need to know.

[borus55]

o fuck this is good 

[LUKASAPOHLOSA]

@borus55 I think you want write "god" ;))

[borus55]

@LUKASAPOHLOSA good and god;)

[LUKASAPOHLOSA]

@borus55

yeah :D :)

[Admosus]

know a lot of these techniques thx to the synyster gates dvd! hahaha

[ProvokingYoVillian]

@tenhundredkills

Its a hairband and it mutes the open strings so the dont cause extra noise (that happens when theres lots of distortion). And theyre good to use with fast playing with lots of string crossing and crap

[tenhundredkills]

@ProvokingYoVillian Hmm. That's a pretty good idea. I might give that a try.

[promalec86]

Andy "Goldfingers" James, the bright side of the Force!

[tenhundredkills]

What is the rubber band looking thing on the neck of the guitar?

[TheDewapurnama]

[Dystopia95]

Is he using an LTD H-401FM?

[CSmaarten]

I really like your tone, what kind of amp do you use?

[givemeajackson]

@CSmaarten im quite sure that it's some kind of blackstar, andy is endorsed. probably an ht5.

[CSmaarten]

@givemeajackson thanks!!

[Ezequielsuperior]

[Brentypooz]

@Ezequielsuperior He has a black hairband around the neck to stop other strings ringing and buzzing

[RRNG1]

tabs?

[BadVolume]

how does he get that sound at 1.04 - about 1.16?? and yer Andy is amazin!!

[MuffinMan6661]

@BadVolume It's either a harmony part on the backing track, or he's using a POG or something. Probably the backing track man

[BadVolume]

@MuffinMan6661  Thanks!

[1guitarrox1]

Im so happy there are no dislikes on this, for once the trolls have left one masterpiece

[grungeboy31]

@1guitarrox1 CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

[1guitarrox1]

@grungeboy31 WHY??????????????????????????

[grungeboy31]

@1guitarrox1 lol coz u just couldnt leave it alone, btw i dont actually dislike it, andy james is beast! haha

[1guitarrox1]

@grungeboy31 ya he's a tank! my fav part is :39, when that riff starts i just gotta headbang

[1guitarrox1]

@grungeboy31 ya he's a tank! my fav part is :39-2:02, when that riff starts i just gotta headbang. Btw is it just me or does 2:28 sound like forsaken by dream theater at all? (im not saying he stole it or anything)

[grungeboy31]

@1guitarrox1 lets just say he took some inspiration from john petrucci bro

[JJLipton]

You sure it's not drop d?

[jefersonlongplay]

One of the greatest artist in the world. Congratulations for your impressive technique and sensibility! More than skills, ... pure art!!!



[JohnChaosVirtue]

I can say at ease tha Andy is one of the most interesting modern metal guitarists. He doesn't just shred, he makes art in its best form.

[Trickyman95]

Soooo wunderschöön!

[riprandy318]

What is he tuned to ?

[TheSentinals101]

@riprandy318 E standard



[TheSentinals101]

@TheSentinals101 drop d sorry

[Akiachrounoumena]

Best song featuring Andy James ...hands down... the solo sections are so powerful and the harmony of the riffs complement them so perfectly ... if any of the other songs on the new album sound like this then I don't even know....

[ahvaimusicom]

@Akiachrounoumena the new album is just sick, the grooves are there, the melody is just insane, and its a 10 to me.

[Akiachrounoumena]

@ahvaimusicom that's funny that you should say that because I heard the new album and thought it wasn't worth buying let alone listening to ...especially the way he changed the best part of this song on it .... it was like the greatest disappointment to me I was waiting for it for such a long time with such excitement and I was slowly turned off with every song I heard . . .

[ahvaimusicom]

@Akiachrounoumena really?! no way! what was the part he changed that you didnt like? are you a guitar player? coming from a song writing aspect, the new album blows the other ones away IMO. but to each his own ;)

[Akiachrounoumena]

@ahvaimusicom I'm not sure, it just sounded too much like regular metal / rock. In the Wake of Chaos had riffs that gave me the chills some of them were in odd time his leads were really inspiring ... it had it's own unique Andy James sound and the shred was really outstanding, AS WELL as the Chaos 7 demos. Those straight up sounded like Planet X on steroids. He even upped his playing on it so that's kind of what I thought this new album would sound like plus Angel of Darkness blew my mind....

[ahvaimusicom]

@Akiachrounoumena ah yeah, i could see that, but even still its just epic, lol

[Akiachrounoumena]

@ahvaimusicom I mean it's by no means bad ... it just wasn't anything I expected in a bad way.... I"m listening to it now just because I started this discussion and I definitely hear that he's getting way better even though he's already like the cleanest guitarist I've ever heard .... his speed is remarkable and the licks are way out there it's just the generic beats and the way he almost vamps under the solos that gets to me I get that it's like a guitar shred record though
