Damn Andy, it hurts to see a video like this!! I feel like with all the guitar lessons of the world i'll never be able to play like you. In fact I feel like no one can play like you. You're THE guitar god. Your playing style is bad ass..! I really think you're on the top 3 guitarist of the entire world!
1:26 & 1:39 onwards are otherworldly speed! 2:26 is even more terrifying tapped string skipping arps! BUT (but), if I may say, if you get a TH-cam Video "speed reducer" (like "Enhancer for TH-cam" Chrome extension), you can watch/hear the licks at like 40-70% of their normal fast speed, essentially slowing them down WHILE maintaining the A440 pitch, you can easily see that these are simple repeated patterns and sequences. But, Andy's genius is how FAST and CLEAN he can play those sequences without getting boggled and mixed up, and being able to have enough dexterity and endurance to get through all 50 licks without stopping!! "Shred" is really an art in itself.
In order to reach this level U have no life gotta wake up early while everybody sleeping and start practicing you will only stop to piss and eat then keep going till 12-1or 2 am in the morning Not only u developing the skills but your brain is leaving to attain the memory capacity to remember it all From age 13 -17 I got to 10 levels under Andy doing that type of practice Now if I kept it up j would be as good as him but Once u get married and have kids it's overs
I'm a guitar-obsessed dweeb who has been playing for dang near a decade and I might be able to reach like a third of his skill level. So yeah, we're talking about a pretty niche audience right here.
Hi RethleZ - its all down to practice and building your finger muscle strength up, don't kill your hands if they feel strained you'll do more damage than good. If your already nailing some licks then sweet - just work one by one with a metronome and you'll find that over time it becomes easier. You'll be shredding your way through these licks like no tomorrow it just takes time! Hope that helps!
Hi BigWilmson, thats a good suggestion we may even have something in the archives here, if not will put it forward to someone to explain! All the best!
For the more advanced players just turn the video down in speed and they're quite easy to work out. If not so confident Andy is definitely a superb teacher and I have a couple of the dvds
This is exactly what it sounds like in my head and Andy James can put it on the fret board. Great job man you nailed it, I have gotten so much better by watchin you play i gotta say thanks, your playin gets me fired up and the speed and precision cant be matched. After a year of playing my frets were gettin wore down and i had it pleked. I was thinking about going to a stainless steel fret. Any thoughts on this ? And how do your guitars
This guy doesn't make mistakes..
Andy is one of the most technical shredders in the world... He has a perfect shred technique and banding intonation on the instrument, i love him .
2:11 insane phrase
his playing is like a dream come true
Just when I think I'm doing well in guitar, I have Andy James over here to prove me wrong
Danny Brown Same here dude :(
I understand. Just keep honing your skills
Andy James is one of the best melodic guitars players AND very fast and never boring !
Got a hand cramp just playing "air guitar"...And when he does use his pinky, it flies man, it flies! Rock on champ!
Five and a half minutes of pure awesomness. Even picture after Andy's perfomance is awesome.
4 minutes of "fuck you BASSISTS!!!!" xD

Rusty Cooley comes close.

That rhythm backing track is like Holy Wars😂2:40
This guys playing is out of this world , it’s like all the big names in metal guitar as one
This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

Surely one of the best pickers ever. Even more impressive than my nose picking.
Thats why you can't play ..
Everything Andy plays, is a masterpiece!
Crazy good. Never seen anything like it, except Jeff loomis. I would want to see these two throw it down
I would bow down to a guy who could cover this precisely!
You'd suck a guy off if he could play this? Sick shit man.
Andy is friggin amazing I don't care if other people get mad and say he has no feel just cause they're jealous.
Even my eyes cannot catch his fingers.
Jaw dropping shred! Nice work Andy
its a pleasure watching and listening to him
So clean and creative.

Really nice shredding. Don't like the tone but that's personal. The shredding more then makes up for it.

The baddest metal guitarist on the planet ladies and gentlemen!

So clean. Jesus Christ 🤯
