You touch my heart young man. My 25 year old son passed away August 3rd from a heroin overdose ..I've been listening to your song.. this song,,,he was learning to play guitar... I played for years...so he wanted to learn so we could play together.. come to find out this song was playing on his phone when he died. I guess there's no point in telling you this...just needed to tell someone about my boy today
When I used to play the guitar, I always tried to follow the tunes you made as my inspiration...but after I lost my fingers and couldn't play the guitar, now I can only look at your performance, success always...greetings from friend Andy at Indonesia❤❤❤
I will be walking down the aisle to this song on my wedding day. I couldn’t picture any other song, it brings out so many emotions it’s breathtaking and absolutely beautiful.
This isn't music to the hears. It's music to the soul. Loved watching the spider dance on the wires and build a beautiful story. It tells the story of solitude and the relation one man can express from his soul to another. Well done Andy.
Guitar music is an art - I'm glad Andy and others keep the art of guitar front and center offering up new ideas and views. As I read all the comments, the art of guitar is not a competition as each artist paints his own - we shouldn't feel bad if we personally cannot replicate what he does, suggest other artist are better, nor bash him for a single video out of many he contributes. Thanks Andy for all you do, I appreciate it!
Agreed! Music in and of itself is simply empathic expression. What you feel is what you play. Andy James knows how to externalize his feelings into his instrument. So many people in this world could benefit from learning to play an instrument and using it as an outlet. Beautiful little ballad here!
Music has been always my drug to fight depression ..... I used to listeN to your music man since I left Iraq and on my journey towards Europe man ,,,,, thank you for this song I listened to it almost everyday and it made me always happy you are an inspiration
One of Andy’s finest song’s really sings out meaningful. I wounder what Andy was thinking when we make this 🤔 Just shows he can put a lot of soul into his playing one of the best players in modern times
This comes from within. A mixture of sadness and joy that can only be from personal experience. You can't invent this sort of emotion. Truly beautiful.
So beautiful, melodic, & smooth! I'd never heard of Andy James til now, & I'll not forget him! Go Andy! Wow! Thanks to whomever uploaded this! What a blessing!🤟😎💜🌍
Thank you Andy for that amazing performance. Just flawlessly played. I could listen to it a thousand times without getting bored. I can finally see that Gary Moore's spirit is still alive and live in one of the greatest guitarists I've ever heard. Europe had produced the greatest musicians of all time and you are nor exception. Thank you for bringing my faith in the real music again.
Goes to show what a talented guy Andy James really is ... anyone who tries to do a cover of this track never gets the bends quite right .. this guy is a hard act to follow !!!!!
Awesome composition with all the elements of a emotion filled instrumental that speaks true talent & though Andy did not write the song his collaborations with Jan Cryka are always a treat to see & hear. Those of us that do play don't really care about lame comments or dislikes at all & if you can play better share it , if you can't keep practicing but don't bad mouth & player that is better than yourself. Music is as much for the listener as it is for the musician as all art is. Rock On...
This is the first time I really listened to Andy and I couldn't listen to this just once. What an amazing player, not just his technique, but his musicality and emotion he put in this is some of the best I ever heard
U need a drum and bass background..if you're writing mucic u can never be faster then the drummer in solos or in any music writing or live you're drummer and bass better be able to keep up with you...lol
I almost forgot this masterpiece while watching guitar collabaration I saw it and once again my heart cried it's really beautiful the composition and the melody. Thank you man for this beautiful masterpiece...
This is masterly played... beautiful music, hats off to the guitarist.. let's not forget the composers Jan Cyrka and James Craydon, you are all geniuses
if I feel either alone or happy, this is something can provide me Oxygen to breath in any situation.... Andy.. you are my idol and God of music... love u sir from India
There are many monster shredders on TH-cam that can play some amazing stuff. Andy is amongst them all but very few can play with this much expression and feeling. This man is so connected to the instrument and plays with his heart and soul. To watch and hear him play is so inspiring to me....Thank you Andy. This is why I play guitar....you just reset the bar.
Speechless my friend ... I live in Brazil and I am trying to get rid of cocaine addiction. Andy ... your solos touched my heart deeply tonight. My name is Cesar. God bless!
When it makes you wanna cry, you know you are speaking the feelings language when the guitar, aka maximum level possible way above just technique and complications. Impressive.
As I get older and am watching this after few years, I appreaciate the fine details even more. I connect more. That is maybe because I do not just see this as a guitar solo but music as a whole
I had a thought on a possible cool project for you guys, I think it would cool to say, take 1 single rock or ballad backing track, and get different guys to play there versions and styles over the track, so you have guthrie, andy james, josh smith, alex hutchings all playing there own take over a single 'track'. would be awesome to compare mindsets and licks etc, could sell it like an small album..
It's a good idea! We did do something similar a while back called the JTC Mega Jam. You can get this at the site plus the video is on TH-cam. Maybe we can revisit doing more!
Jamtrackcentral.com that would be amazing! just think how that would turn out if each of them knew nothing about what the others were doing. Not a jam because it would mean they would feed off one another and there are already many jams circulating about. But! Completely separate approaches in their own special way over the same backing track. I'd buy it for sure.
Jamtrackcentral.com You could also do a similar idea but with unknown guitarists, and have it as a competition or something to get featured on your channel. Allow lesser known guitarists to download a track, jam to it and send it to you, then edit it as you see fit, including clips from your favourite solos from some of the entries like a super jam :)
Excelente composição! Andy James sempre muito fantástico! Que magnífico trabalho, realmente o profundo elo entre o exímio guitarrista e o seu templo, que é o seu instrumento, ambos se completam.
I try my best to play this (your) song James. Thank you for uploading on you-tube. Some of my friends have passed away and I play this song at their funeral. Sounds very sad and suits the occasion. Wonderful.
It was almost 3 years since I heard the first time for this Andy James song, and now I even truly lost my mood in drumming by hearing this song again, a mystical deep souls distraction for drummers mood Andy 🥴
For some weird reason TH-cam started recommending me some videos I watched YEARS ago. And I'm actually glad it did. It's like autumn came a lot earlier ;)
Ive Never thought that someday..someone...playing on a guitar with such passion would bring tears to my eyes I felt every note every Melody deep in my heart thank u sir for this beautiful masterpiece 🤘
Honestly, it sounded a bit like The Best of Times, lots of the riffs using the same models and phrasing. Pretty sure if you asked Andy, he'd say it was somewhat inspired by it. Not that I mind, I find myself coming back to this track
Man, unbelievable AJ as always. His tone is the best I've heard as well. For the JTC guys, do the individual song purchases include the solo track, backing track, and tab for that track?
Kyle Butler Turns out cock sucking is an important skill. Think how great the worlld would be if all women had good head as top priority! World Peace!!!

Andy James doesn't just "play a guitar", he tells a story, and takes you on an amazing journey, through the magic of his skills.
Exactly. Whether by just listening or watching, we get 2 different stories. Both amazing!
If u want heard best ever guitar story just goin to Bucketheadland
@@NoiseHunter-ux9vm согласен. Не ожидал увидеть тут такое
yes yes yes yes
A solid slap in the face to anyone who says Andy's playing is just technical monotonous shredding and has no feel. Kudos
Pure class!
A big shout out for Andy
I cried to this, I remember my dog. It felt like that the music itself is talking to you. This is beautiful.
I will be walking down the aisle to this song on my wedding day. I couldn’t picture any other song, it brings out so many emotions it’s breathtaking and absolutely beautiful.
so did you end up playing this song on your wedding
Im crying out loud as i listen to this...you just made me realize how much i love a person that i coudnt have....that we are in diff world🥺🥺😢😢

Coming back to this three years later and it’s still one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
I think this man is the next Gary Moore Generation, unstoppable with the music line, performance and the feeling!!!
Music has been always my drug to fight depression ..... I used to listeN to your music man since I left Iraq and on my journey towards Europe man ,,,,, thank you for this song
I listened to it almost everyday and it made me always happy
you are an inspiration
Zaid khalid mahmood but did u get oil in iraq?
I prefer cocaine
Music is a drug for me because no matter how much I try I can’t leave it
One of Andy’s finest song’s really sings out meaningful.

Just shows he can put a lot of soul into his playing one of the best players in modern times
This comes from within. A mixture of sadness and joy that can only be from personal experience. You can't invent this sort of emotion. Truly beautiful.
The composition, the melody, The Guitar playing and the emotional burst of feelings... Makes you speechless and makes you wanna say one word... WOW
Andy, much respect. Never fails to play with emotion and bring the listener's emotions with him. I still remember his days with the Blackstar amps.
This is how to play a melodic solo from start to finish! Its a masterpiece! The phrasing is just perfect!
This has got to be one of the most beautiful songs I've heard. Thanks for sharing this musical masterpiece , Andy. A true work of art !
My tutor. I learned literally everything I know off Andy James. Best guitarist in the world
The last time I came here was seven years ago. This is just an amazing piece of music and played to perfection. Brings a tear to my eye.
So beautiful, melodic, & smooth! I'd never heard of Andy James til now, & I'll not forget him! Go Andy! Wow! Thanks to whomever uploaded this! What a blessing!🤟😎💜🌍
What a beautiful composition. I love Andy's technique. He's got all the right skills to become more of a household name!
My first video of Andy. I'm blessed that I found him in my early age. Love from Bangladesh.
Tears,tears,tears...this track just give me tears, of joy.
My heart bleeding...IT's so beautyful...Memories comes over me...❤😢
One of my favorite Guitar Player

You mean “the song that BREAKS the heart”... this track is brutal in all the right ways! Thank you, Uncle Andy!
Even though I bought the album 4 years ago, it's just great to come back and watch the man at work. Utterly inspiring.
Love this! Such appreciation.

Andy James, mastering all guitar style
The titles to these songs man.....a true invitation to an art of passion!
Man, this is truly a masterpiece. Excellent composition and execution. Inspiring.
This is the first time I really listened to Andy and I couldn't listen to this just once. What an amazing player, not just his technique, but his musicality and emotion he put in this is some of the best I ever heard
Tears almost come into my eyes while hearing this beautiful instrumental! ♥♥ Hails to you Andy! ♥♥
Those simple drums
beats are enhancing the whole music.
The bass guitar too
U need a drum and bass background..if you're writing mucic u can never be faster then the drummer in solos or in any music writing or live you're drummer and bass better be able to keep up with you...lol
One of the greatest guitar pieces of all time. This song is deeply emotional and inspirational. Crazy.
3:50 Onward gives me chills every time. It feels like someone is dying and you are asking them to hold on just a little longer or some cry for help.
I almost forgot this masterpiece while watching guitar collabaration I saw it and once again my heart cried it's really beautiful the composition and the melody. Thank you man for this beautiful masterpiece...
I grew up watching legendary guitar players like andy James. U guys have inspired me a lot.
This is masterly played... beautiful music, hats off to the guitarist.. let's not forget the composers Jan Cyrka and James Craydon, you are all geniuses

2:23 - 2:50 I could listen to that first drop a million times... Strait up chills every time!
So fucking cool
Ascending 6s I think?
Easily one of the best solos EVER!!!
Andy James... Man,... Thanks for this composition...For me, It's one of the best guitars song I ever hear...
This playing is out of this world. Propably the best guitarist in the whole universe!
Andy james the best guitarist ever recorded ❤❤❤
so freaking soulful 7 years later. Andy taught me how to play and is the OG GOD of shred n soul
Tastiest, most soulful guitar solo I have ever heard. You inspire me to play from the heart even more. 🙏💯🤘
Not a single word. Just touched my soul, right away.
As I get older and am watching this after few years, I appreaciate the fine details even more. I connect more. That is maybe because I do not just see this as a guitar solo but music as a whole

10 YEARS I COME BACK HERE
Me too ❤
I cried when listening to Andy Timmons and Andy James made me sweep my tears.
Even words can't explain how i feel inside 🙏🏾 🤗 🎸
Andy Gemas playing the backing track Guitar solo is amazing 😎🤘 wow 👂🎸❤️
Excelente composição! Andy James sempre muito fantástico! Que magnífico trabalho, realmente o profundo elo entre o exímio guitarrista e o seu templo, que é o seu instrumento, ambos se completam.

2024 and still shakes the heart out
OMG! 1:00-1:04, that lick is sick! Gives me goose bumps. Amazing Andy!
me too
Yss, seriously 😎👌
For some weird reason TH-cam started recommending me some videos I watched YEARS ago. And I'm actually glad it did. It's like autumn came a lot earlier ;)
Шедевр!Ещё один виртуоз,которого можно смело поставить на одну ступень с такими как Joe satriani,Petrucci,Steve Vai.До слёз аж!👍🤘
Eargasm!! It's so beautiful
Excellent Mr.
OMG! This is beautiful, all the rock fibers in my heart, mind and soul made click w this guitar song. Handsome and talented this man.

Amazing bends, man. Love Andy's vibrato too. So clean and smooth.
This made my day. Maybe my whole year
Beautiful...Andy James, one of Favorite Guitar Players , Love His Style and Technique and Feel...BEAST!!
This song is absolutely beautiful! It goes right through me I love the tones!!!!
This has a Steve Vai touch i appreciate so much!
One of the most soul rendering and heartfelt guitar solos I have ever heard! Extremely well done!
Pretty cool. It has a very Petrucci-esque vibe to it.
Exactly my thinking ;)
I think the same !
Honestly, it sounded a bit like The Best of Times, lots of the riffs using the same models and phrasing. Pretty sure if you asked Andy, he'd say it was somewhat inspired by it.
Not that I mind, I find myself coming back to this track
has the ministry of lost souls vibe to it :D great song! andy is the man
Petucci is his main influence... He talked about it in his interview
Man, unbelievable AJ as always. His tone is the best I've heard as well. For the JTC guys, do the individual song purchases include the solo track, backing track, and tab for that track?
Yes they do!

Thank you!

Kills me .. ❤
You can see all the styles that have influenced him in this piece. Its truly brilliant, what a great guitarist!
I conceived my first child to this song. I will name him Andy. He better fucking learn guitar.
Best comment I've ever read hands down.
