For anybody curious about the inspiration behind the licks, this is my best guess.
0:00 - 0:15 As I Am intro
0:15 - 0:40 Glass Prison intro solo
0:40 - 0:50 Constant Motion (main riff)
0:50 - 1:15 On the Backs of Angels solo
1:15 - 1:25 As I Am solo
1:25 - 1:50 I have no idea, sounds like a solo from Black Clouds
1:50 - 2:35 backing track from In the Name of God but solo sounds like A Change of Seasons
2:35 - 2:50 Constant Motion riff
2:50 - 3:10 This Dying Soul ending
Zachary Lawrence thx
U are awesome bro
This man is a hardcore fan
1:25 - 1:50 is definitely from black clouds and man... isnt this the best riff ever ? i mean it is almost as powerful as th-cam.com/video/AAnIjM3MWUE/w-d-xo.html (which is my favorite) not in the same way ofc don't you think ?
zacharylawrence pattern at 2:31 is from the first solo in endless sacrifice, and the pattern at 1:22 is from damage control
There are not many humans on earth that can mimick so many different styles and have the of accuracy as AJ does. Well Done Andy
I just went to a Dream Theater show in my city and it was amazing! All band members have a lot of technique! Petrucci is certainly one od the best guitar players ever, and Andy James too!
If I could "like" your comment from this app then I would do, many times!!
Spurs :D You shouldn't compare god to Andy* fixed
That arpeggio solo run at 1:25sec was simply melodic and outstanding.
More String Skipping then straight Arpeggios.
But yes , outstanding indeed.
no matter how many times or what video i watch with andy james in. im still amazed at his playing, by far the best guitarist ive ever seen
This dude is the 3 finger wizard
A majority of scales, particularly in jazz, heavily emphasis economy picking which incorporates the use of 3 notes per rule
Profit Potato
Funny cause that's my nick name... but for a different reason
I think you meant Michael Schenker
4
Yeah
petrucci is love petrucci is life
DENHOLM theDRUNK He is not shrek okay?
0:10 the glass prison, 0:40 and 2:36 constant motion. awesome playing!
Andy is the beast
His touch is just unbelievable
Effortless yet looks so beautifully complex.
My guitar doesn't do that.
Mine as well. I think I need to fix this broken guitar
Lmfao
jajajajajajajajajaja
It could
just bought this DVD, totally worth it, such great excersises and andy james is just amazing but everyone knows that, whoever was thinking of getting, def a good idea
and then "constant motion'"s riff and "this dying soul"s at the ending...really nice...it's really on John's style!
Killer playing, Sir. The part from 1:27 - 1:51 is pure beauty!
John Petrucci is as good as you get but Andy James is right up there in skill level !
Amazing solo !!!!!!
I appreciate his skills, talent and knowledge. I feel lucky to be able to discover his music
This is absolutely majestic! the constant motion variation is so killer! and every other part too! Loved the first slower part after the glass prison variation!
that solo between 1:50 and 2:37 is awesome!!!
RumikXxeno what is this song?
I would love to see a G3 with Andy James, John Petrucci and Jeff Loomis!!
Wouldn't that be brilliant!!
Maybe g5 w/ Satch and Kiko?
Hate to state the obvious, but this guy is a very good guitarist ..
only person who can manage the speed and accuracy while covering any kind of song is Andy James ! U rock Andy James !!
I could watch Andy shred forever..
Best guitarrist in the world in terms of techcnic and feeling!
Where did you get your pact with Satan?
+Hewparu its hard to tell but he actually has a pic of destiny
Fr i need a spot on that list🙏🏼🙏🏼👀
Go to a crossroads 😂
I will find it TOO
at crossroads.
It almost looks sped up in a fast forward. Those licks are awesome!
Oh my god.I ll throw my guitar out of the window.Nice performance.
When that melody kicks in its so inspiring. Nailed Petrucci's style!
Technique wise I'd say AJ's in the same league as JP.
Cool jokes around here.
Nah.... andys better way betterrr
Sandarpan Mukherjee I would say he is in a far higher league.
I have to disagree with that
@@martijnvanspaendonck7989 The thing is he may be way better technically but dont forget what john has already written down. He composed all these beautiful solos riffs and songs. In this case john petrucci is better but just my opinion. Didnt really heard any andy james stuff, i know hes hell of a player but so is john. Johns stuff brought tears of sadness and joy to my eyes. He really can do both.
Amazing! Andy is reserved in heaven. Used his life to the best possible.

***** yeah. andy uses it when recording, but he can play without it and still be as clean.
*****
Things like that are always possible but harder, guess you just need to be tighter right
***** It's a combination of the picking hand dampening the strings, the available fingers on the fretting hand also play their part too (especially in sweeping from the high E to the low E). After watching such clean shit like this I decided to completely overhaul my playing after over a decade of bad habits. Play it slow AND clean then go from there.
Hi Hasan Basri Cekem, Andy James has been playing a very long time, theres no easy way around it, the best way is to practise practise practise! Will send you a link to a list of videos which Andy James explains learning guitar and tips for guitarists. Hope there helpful!
Sounds like themes and variations from Glass Prison, This Dying Soul, Constant Motion, As I Am, and Pull Me Under. Did I miss any?
metropolis, hell's kitchen maybe ...
i've picked up some innocence faded influence because of the string skipping but otherwise you're spot on!
Maybe panic attack?
Pretty damn accurate, definitely heard the intro to constant motion in there.
On the backs of angels
I never heard anything better than before! Thanks so much and good luck you in the future!!!
I never understood why he didn't use his JP sig in this video. He uses it alot in other quick licks videos, but not in the actual JP lick vid ;p
Frank Homma because the EC-1000 kicks ass
Lmao dude have you ever played a JP? It stomps the EC-1000 as far as craftsmanship and attention to every small detail. They are really a joy to play
The EC-1000 does kick ass, but it’s no JP.
I think it’s mostly because of them pickups that he has on the esp
just love it how Andy nails JP style all the way. Amazing, juste awesome!
well, there's John Petrucci's replacement if he ever leaves DT
+R Bharathkumar I hope he never leaves DT as well. if he does, I'll have to cry myself to sleep for a month
David Lyons I did it when Portnoy left but it lasts forever! :'(
Either him or Marco Sfogli
Petrucci is irreplaceable
No Pettucci, no Dream Theater.
Excellent! Glad your finding the DVD helpful - even if it is killing your pinky! All the best!
This is more like andy james style
kamikazikaizer yeah
He mixes his style with other guitar players.
1.27 - 1.50 ! DAMN it Mr Andy James...Excellent JOB!
andy has some really strong hands
Been learning this piece for two years now. Still can't touch it at full speed. INSANE!
these licks probably won't be quick to learn
When you play it slowly to a metronome or a drum beat, which I prefer, then you will learn it faster than you think :) I already got the intro cleared!
Daniel Harvey 3 years later....
any update
@@ChessCat1500 Still Intro :v
i agree with you too
Were you able to?
BEAUTIFUL, OMG exactly like petrucci, andy james is freaking talented i just cant
More like Andy James style quick licks performance
You can hear influences from so many great guitarists in this piece :-) Vai and Satriani at the top of the list. Damn, Mr James knows his instrument!
Wow, so beautiful, excelent technique, so clean, excelent timing, perfect performance... The world needs more guitarrists like you
This is basically just the glass prison
No fucking way, noob, it's not "basically just the glass prison". First licks are easy AJ version of GP, but the rest are likcs from different DP solos, don't talk shit, u fat fuck xD
Thanks for the comment!
DT*
I mean Deep Purple lul
Yeah and the end is This Dying Soul, even the time signatures are similar
The beginning of the solo is ionspired by "the glass prison" great understanding of petrucci's mechanicals, real sound, great ! Real great solo !! Great riff at the end !
2:37 constant motion mode on
I just ordered the DVD. It's amazing. I'm playing every day!
1:50 money!!!
wat
i honestly have no clue how you're able to sound that clean, awesome job
Andy James style played by Andy James
So good, so clean is out of this world
I love that motherfucking guitar, it's even prettier than a Gibson.
as you go along you start to realise how unbelievably overrated gibson is, there are so many better guitars than gibbys out there
DENHOLM theDRUNK word
What make is it?
Johndude that would be an ESP Ecplipse II or I not sure, but they are custom and fucking expensive, however you can get a cheap ESP standard eclipse II with the same features for about 1000 i think, though i am not sure or you could get the LTD version which would be above 500, cannot remember the exact price
Johndude It's an LTD EC-1000
The glass prison, love that song:) You nailed the sound of the man himself, JP, cool ending with the "This Dying Soul" lick:)
The first part sounds like Megadeth.
Exactly...XD
JoelMetal lol and the part after the dissonant bends
Hearing those first couple of notes, I thought, "I think they got title of this video wrong.." That's was some Megadeth-ish shit for sure.
2:06 and same the song dread and the fugitive mind.
This is where I quietly put my guitar down and walk away, with my head down, in defeat. Incredible playing!!!
lol REALLY suprised you didnt use the music man for this video.
Cody Butler me too, the sounds like jp
nugroho setiawan priyandono i was thinking like tone wise
this solo is just amazing! i think i will download it as mp3 to listen to it all the time!!!
god...
Andy does Petrucci licks! a great motivation boost :D when are we gonna get Andy doing Andy James licks?
Megadeth wouldn't be this complex
I dont know if anyone already said it but this is a neoclassic perfect adptation of the intro to sugar plum fairy by tchaikovsky. Its so good of a lesson that Indont have words.
even petrucci isnt this clean
Petrucci doesn't use a dampener at the nut
thats what she said
HA!!!!!!
Zac Thomas with or without Andy is A clean player dude :)
Obviously you haven't listened to Lost not Forgotten.
AHAHHHHHHH Guitar rules the world ! It was absolutly incredible ! Thanks for the licks !
This is BETTER than Petrucci!
Andy your amazing brother.
Petrucci style? Sounds better than Petrucci hahahaha
Rodrigo Kobayashi petrucci licks better than you face
Andy is so much better than the rest of the licklibrary team
Betcha John Petricci can't play this
You don't know John Petrucci then.
John petrucci could play this with his pubic hair dude
Petricci... lol
Actually pettruci is robot..he can reading any solo in this planet...including krypton planet
My God those arpeggios!!
Well played Mr. James, well played.
This is so awesome. Love it. Great shredding.
man..... just one word..... AWESOME!!!!. congrats
I have this DVD and this is an awesome work by Andy...Congrats guy and thanks for teaching us :)
I listen to this ones a week because it's so good
Andy killin it once again!
When he plays parts like that he is normally following the chords, doing different kind of arpeggio extensions (minor, major, minor 7th, major 7th, 9ths etc) aswell as blending in some passing notes that does not belong to the arpeggio. He often play the same thing through octaves aswell.
Sonho de qualquer guitarrista tocar assim tão bem. Resultado de muita dedicação. Parabéns.
Andy James is a GENIUS!!!
Andy you are unbelievable. Amazing
This is pure Metal!! 🤘🏽
I recently purchased this DVD. Andy James slows down and breaks down each section of the solo featured in this video. My only complaint is the lack of tab. However, I just make my own using power tab editor. From my experience, lick library doesn't include tabs which is disappointing. But, it's a great resource to learn some amazing licks.
Andy James is my Guitar Hero!
the chorus is amazing
This is just incredible.
Sounds much more like Andy James than JP, which is a good thing!🔥
my favourite of all of them hes done.
Awesome,amazing,beautiful..., I like Andy James 😍😍😍
Wow,, amazing! My favorite guitarrist.
I listen to this everyday :)
its a hairband and its used to reduce the buzzing noise for when he switches the string
Great practice piece
omfg.... the whole shit sounds amazing and flawless and amazingly flawless.
while im watching this im just like just looking and perfectly amazed goodness this is the first time i know him!!!!!!!!!
Real melodic beast mode on guitar
Really liked this video! All the best!!
Love the view. That is one gorgeous fretboard.
andy james is honestly a beast
AWESOME that's an amazing performance man!!!
