Never realized Andy James is like my favorite guitar players. He has the power of Dimebag, Syn, Mark Morton, Kirk, Adam D, and Zakk Wylde in his hands. If I were 1/3 as bad as this dude..Well I would be pretty badass.
dear andy james, i hate you. I have been trying to learn this for about a month now and i fucking give up, the 7 finger tapping is way to damn technical. congrats andy, i surrender, your too damn good. Ima go sell my guitar asap and buy a new stereo to blast your new album out of. however, there is one guitarist i really would like to see you break down..... buckethead.... not hippy style buckethead, but an album like "coo coo clocks of hell". And yes.... thats a challenge, you guitar bully
@yamahaing7737 man, never really listened to that album, can you reccomend me some of the best delicious shredtastic tracks from that album??
also don't give up lol, pretty sure Andy James is like the leading metal guitarist of our generation lol, he can do anything
What I'm trying to say is, if "not being able to play a Andy James song" was a reason to give up on guitar, then the majority of guitarists would be in BIIIIIIIG trouble ;) especially me :'( I struggle with 4-5 finger tapping :'(
@Artybruh hahaha thanks for the encouragement man, honestly tho i could never quit guitar, its like sex without the risk of aids haha. and as far as songs off that album i recommend: "Spokes for the Wheel of Torment"(has a very disturbing music video tho), "woods of suicide", "the treeman" and one of my favorite Bhead songs ever "fountains of the forgotten". You keep on shredding too man, dont let guitar bullies like andy james, yngwie malmsteen, and buckethead discourage you haha
@alekszanver I started to play at 15 years old, and I have been playing for 4 years. But I still do not get how to do the sweep picking technique.
But remember, a guitarist not only be just technique, must be creative, dynamic and versatile. Know how to use all these resources is what makes them great.
Just this year I understood the true meaning of it.
Yes i like all of Andy James solos because they are not noisy but fantastic beautiful sounding solos while incorporating various melodic techniques and fluid style. And no offence to Rusty Cooley who has good speed on him, but in my opinion Rusty Cooleys solos sound rather noisy and a waste of speed. But Andy James is fast enough with great tasteful licks and chops all nicely put together, Andy James really hits the spot on his solos. He gives meaning to shred with a divine purpose and reason
Wonderful. Just awesome. Really enjoyed it. I do have to point out though, there are a LOT of times you could have been using your pinkie instead of making a huge stretch. Clearly you didn't need your pinkie to play this but not being able to use it is a huge handicap... =(
One of those few technically-supreme players who play cool notes. most just play lots of notes, period. this guy plays fuck tons of beautiful ones. good shit.
Wow Andy your really amazing you are mean and clean a very rare combonation I have been friends with chris broderick and have admired his playing for years you remind me of his playing alot keep up the great playing ... cheers
this is actually completely insane. I think that andy james is a LOT better than many famous guitar players that you may know from other bands. This solo include so fucking many techniques, its just mad. FAR better than i've heard in a long time. I'm proud
@Raziel236 where the hell did you find Knight of Cydonia in this song dude. Anyways it was probably the scale he is using, Matt Bellamy uses the same scales/chrord progressions to get that sound he gets in songs like KoC or Stockholm Syndrome, which is not that usual, thats why msot people playing the scales "sound like muse"
@bluegang3 You Do Not Know Me And I COuld Care Less To Know You So STFU And Mind Your OWn Business, Was not asking you btw. I Bet I Can Make Better Noise On 1 String Than You Can ON all 6
Andy James is teaching and performing with his band "Scared Mother Tongue" at MonkeyFest 1st - 3rd July in Woking, UK MonkeyFest tickets here: monkeyfest.co.uk
