[shredderguy45]

What is the hair band for?

[BigAUnderground]

@shredderguy45 i think it makes it easier to solo or something like that :S

Synyster Gates uses one in the studio but i forgot why :P

[TheRationalRant]

@shredderguy45 To stop strings reverberating when he's not playing them.

[michaeltroke]

Is Andy signed with ESP because he seems to have alot of there guitars?

[SDudderz]

Does this DVD include the intro to Angel of Darkness? That song is incredible!

[SteelbathXBL]

I got this DVD because I was interested in "Burn it Down," but I came to find out that James doesn't go into the slow solo/harmony over the clean section at the end. Was there any special reason behind this? That was the tastiest part of the song, imo.

[doom666kratos]

This remember me the Viking Kong by Paul gilbert.

[mirroredguitarist]

He tends to favour his third finger over the pinky for licks. A rebel guitarist who doesn't follow conventional finger positioning :P Regardless of what he's doing. Andy James is so diverse and is on a session level. I'm lucky to have a guitar teacher of his level.

[grytoria]

Steve Vai has 12 accounts at youtube.

[USchwarzenegger]

5:06 amazing

[asuncarlos12345]

andy james is the best

[MrOrion92]

Hi, I can do anything I want with a guitar. - Him

[AllHailHelms]

This dude is GOD! He's seriously the best guitarist I've ever heard. @_@

[MatheusdeSah]

lol

[11910blackops]

How can you solo so quickly?

[phrygian3rd]

YEAH!!!! This cat is a dyed-in-the wool, honest-to-God, bona fide SHREDDER!!! Very impressive stuff!!! Brutally awesome technique!!! Rock on, Mr. Andy James!!! You, sir, are a M****r F****r!!!

[Bguitars724]

I've picked up a lot of stuff just from watching these videos, they're very helpful! For some proof, check out my "My little Jam Track" video :D thanks so much licklibrary! You've taught me a lot!

[Danmoreno12345]

wow very clean playing

[ParkourKid2009]

OH MY FUCKING GOD! SACRED MOTHER TONGUE GUITARIST!!!

[AVFC0711]

will there be a volume 4?

[SAINTPAINTBALLER]

Radical ^_^

[phrygian3rd]

EXCELLENT SHIT!!! 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!!!

[lopez1172]

what song is the solo at 1:50 from

[OliverMazur]

HOLY SHIT YES!!! finally a dvd for this song! :D:D

[Guitargodjosh]

Hey! Right i bought this DVD, i think its great, but the song "Burn It Down" it doesnt show you how to play the actual verse, such as the very begining part in this video :/ I was looking forward to learning how to play that lol! He just shows you a load of diminished tapped arpeggios not the actual verse as shown in the performance and here :/ Im guessing you have to put those arpeggios into the verse?

Some of the techniques are AMAZING! I cant wait to get stuck into it :D

[raulgx]

@Guitargodjosh dude it's hilarious but i have bought the same dvds you have without knowing you so i have a question: i have already bought this dvd but haven't got it yet so i was wondering if this is a complete guide that shows you how to play the complete solos, or if it is just an instructional dvd that shows you how to achieve similar licks for creating your own ideas. Thank you so much, good luck. Cheers

[Guitargodjosh]

@raulgx

yeah its ust an instructional dvd that shows you how to achieve similar licks for creating your own ideas basically and learning the really simple verses in his songs :/ Bit disapointed in it tbh!

[zombiecheese11]

love this guy! does anyone know what guitar he is using here?

[highintel]

29 sec... Is that a petrucci riff? I like it a Lot.

[loginer761]

This man is a GENIUS.

[ShadowSoulMetal]

What guitar and amp was used in this video?

[SomeoneStoleMyPants]

oops... k andy james is the best! he should be more famous!

[GUITARISTKRC]

what kind if amp did you use to record this with?

[Piecakesman]

woaaah

[LoserMillionaire]

i didn't hear a word he said.

[Josh425635]

what is that on the third fret i know its to deaden the strings your not playing but i was curious to know what it is?

[ekgerke]

@Josh425635 a hair tie

[xlukatsx]

maaaan you should play forbidden city by marty friedman, that would make my life

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

His strings look REALLY bendy

[kineticn]

[Stinnie89]

The string skipping bit is sooo crazy. Loving it

[xsupernazix]

he never uses his pinky :O

[F4TB0Y69]

@xsupernazix he does, but very rarely, because of his "Three Finger Technique" =]

[Rofltmb]

[Videoguru184]

Will this truely TEACH ME something?

[licklibrary]

@Videoguru184 Hi there - yes depends whether this is what you want to learn? The Dvd is an easy to follow DVD and Andy James is not only a great player - but a great teacher - this is volume 3 - so might be worth looking at Vol 1 & 2 to have a look at what is covered in those aswell. Will stick an annotation in the Vol2 video - you can click - unfortunately we don't have a Promo for Vol1 - but will send you a link to read up about it. Hope that helps. Scroll to 0.10secs and click the annotation.

[Videoguru184]

@licklibrary Thank you! Ive just always wanted to learn how to shred and do this type of music. And to solo like that without looking at a tab would be a great accomplishment...

[licklibrary]

@Videoguru184 cool - thanks for the comment - if you get the dvd - lets us know how you get on! all the best!

[SanctumZero]

@Videoguru184 I would say, depends on how willing you are to learn ;D Don't ask what this DVD can offer you. Ask what you can sacrifice for this DVD!

[MParseface38]

here's a testimony and i'm not being paid for saying this: andy is such a great teacher and it has really helped me developing both my speed and my creativity. hands down, it's worth the 20 quid!

[dbikeguy]

Andy James, you are obscenely good at guitar.

[Shazlyyy]

[kwiatekzgniezna]

this guy know how to make a solo

[phrygian3rd]

Hey, listen here -- I finally checked out the DVD for this clip... I rate it a buy! (10)

Andy James does an excellent job of demonstrating all the techniques shown on the video. Of course, you have to have some chops to begin with, but it's very interesting to see his approach (for ex., he favors using his ring (3rd) finger where I would naturally use my pinky (4th) finger.) But all in all, he does an excellent job of demonstrating the ART of shred.

[Sxrule]

@phrygian3rd I like that you need chops to begin with!!! thats cool because there are so many dvds that tll you how topick and do legato etc, but not alot that take it techniques to an extreme level!!

[phrygian3rd]

Hello? Anbody out there?

[phrygian3rd]

Holy Crap! I stumbled on this video by accident, and I coudn't stop watching... AMAZING! Andy James is living proof that 1st-rate shred is NOT dead!!!

[phrygian3rd]

Superb technique -- the more I listen, the more I'm impressed!

[phrygian3rd]

Holy Crap! I stumbled onto a clip of this guy playing -- I was immediately hooked into it! Technique: Excellent. Tone: Excellent. I ordered his DVD, "Metal Soloing Volume 3" within 1 day of hearing his playing. I'll let you know what I think of it.

[jaymz1809]

this sounds like it would be a Trivium solo

[MalevolentSeb]

at the beginning it sounds a lot like petruucci i think...

[Simen0303]

he is pretty Petrucci inspired, but at the same time he is showing his style too! obviously.. :P

[AVFC0711]

@jaymz1809

no because the trivium guitarist whoever he is could never play like this

[evergreenrocks]

MAB uses a "string dampner"(is what he likes to call it) when he plays live. guthrie govan uses a hairtie too :)

andy rules!

[zer0dahero]

Using a hair scrunchy on your guitar, on the 3rd fret in this case, is just cheating. No self respecting metal guitarrist would to that to hide their sloppy picking. This guy is good so why does he need to cheat? Did anybody ever see Dimebag do that? or Slash, Hammet, Zakk etc... Anyboy correct me if I'm wrong on that.

[floevo]

no your not wrong. Their is a ton of videos on the net that show that I dont use a hairtie for muting. The shred this too vid for example. I. Plus if you notice, I use it alot more when im sitting down as it is hard in this enviroment to get everything as clean especially when most of the stuff im playing is insanely difficult. When im playing live I dont use it as it is far easier to play standing up.

[notsominidude]

wow. so you find it easier to play the harder things standing up? does that just come with practise because i need work on playing standing up

[lawson25303]

man your just crazy, Andy is by far the most advanced player Ive seen and ive been playing metal for 20 years.

and the guitarist you named are all my favorites and I have been playing all their stuff for years.

since watching Andy Ive tried useing the hairbow thing myself and yeah it does help a little with extra string noise, or unwanted feedback, but in no way does it wave a magic wand and make a sloppy player clean. andy is one of the best in the world, dont knock him if you cant keep up.

[chillichomper]

True. But this guy has to learn SOOOOO much soooo fast that I would give him a pass. Look at it this way... Ppl use a capos because they want to play campfire chords on every fret. Its a minor cheat but in the end only other musicians care. The audience doesn't give a crap as long as it sounds good and thats what counts.

[hiitsmcjosh]

Actually, most guitarists record their song like that. They just don't use them live, it looks kind of silly.

[johnaiton]

@zer0dahero It's actually to mute resonation from the tremelo springs behind the guitar.

With such high distortion, a guitar with high output pickups becomes an untamable noise machine.

Believe me, his TECHNIQUE is fucking amazing, he can mute selectively perfectly well. This is a studio production and as such requires utter perfection.

guthrie, lane, howe, marshall harrison

are they cheating?

Maybe I'll hairtie my guitar and play like them with no practice. Yeah?

fucking retard

[quasarwaves]

this is insane, i want this dvd!

[ShredReviews]

Another "must buy" - I'll just direct all my funds to LickLibrary from now on :)

[trfsrfr]

the thing on his fretboard is like a sweatband cut down. all it does is keep accidental string hits from sounding. It mutes the strings unless theyre fretted. I want one on each of my guitars, because I have some slop to my playing.

[blissbomb1988]

the thing around the neck is a dampener to stop string noise.

[chillichomper]

This guy has soooooo much stamina in those hands. Either he's using .008's or he's doing finger push ups! sheesh

[blastoise0poliwrath]

do put in mind that andy james is the most advanced guitarist to this present day but one of the reasons that andy james plays so perfectly is his pratice and also you will sometimes see like you can see on his guitar in this video that there is a capo looking thing at the 3 fret it's not a capo it mutes all that open notes so that everything sounds perfect but gunieuly andy james has the best technique so far and is very strong in his hands and he does use very heavy guage strings

[virtuastudios]

what do you mean the most advanced guitarist? why make up silly facts, really what is the point? there are other guitarists who are just as advanced or even better.

[ShamrockROI]

@chillichomper He uses .010's so he says in one of the dvd's so i think hes doin the finger pushups lol

[ajax99p]

@chillichomper yeahhh dude i noticed tht too!! its amazing!!

[Shanejulien]

how are some people rating this less than a 5????

[jonnyXrice]

@Shanejulien Cuz the lesson wasn't free XD

[LordOfThisWorld74]

This guy plays so clean. Id like to hear some solo stuff from him

[sebsoju]

what´s that on the fretboard?

is it a capo?

[SilverCider]

I've seen someone use a hair bobble on the neck before - to stop unwanted ringing on strings not being played, hence giving a really clean tone :)

[Thommxz]

It's for muting out his open strings so you can't really hear it when he makes a mistake ;)

[mrsexsymbol]

thats some hardcore shredding!!

[tonstagnant]

nice..

[jpollock1000]

what is that around the neck???

[wishiwasbuckethead]

@jpollock1000 a hairband to mute the strings. luke from protest the hero uses one too

[WeezerFan4Ever]

Andy James never fails to blow my mind.

[drawnacrol]

Your a machine andy!!!!! I wish I had had your technique, great tone aswell!

[reverweb]

Yeha metalcore shred , awesome tracks!

[Shyuum]

@reverweb

Haha yes sir

[sportsportsport]
