I’m being honest when I say this song is my favorite riff/solo instrumental of all time something is very special about this song Andy put his heart and soul in this one you can feel it I have been playing guitar for 26 years and heard it all but Andy James is something special
Me too, it's a perfect balance or harmony, tone, emotion, technicality without getting too bogged down in any one of them.... A perfect electric guitar instrumental. TY Andy
Name all the best guitarists on earth, none of them play with as much feel as this guy. Andy is every amazing guitarist on their best day, on any given day
Andy..you inspire me..thank u do much for all u do..it means a lot to me...not just musically..granted I only know u thru your music but that alone helps me know u.. I've been thru good n bad times and your music helps me...as well I'm also getting more advanced on guitar and your playing insides the f*** out of me..thank u so much for all u do! My new born says thanks as well for helping her daddy!!
I really think that this is his best balade song. It just goes to show you that you don't always need to play 300 notes a minute to create a magnificient piece. If only Mr. Malmsteen understood that! That's what I love about Mr. James, he covers a large array and can play different styles and can play super fast or slow. well done and come to Canada. I live in Ottawa (capital of Canada) and would love to watch you play
AJ is my favorite instrumental guitarist. That's saying a lot. I'm 55 and have been a guitar instrumental afficianodo from the 80s to today and to my ears AJ is the best "modern" player. I know he needs to eat but frankly AJ being in 5FDP is about like Randy Rhoads playing with KISS. Talk about being WAY overqualified for a job... I just hope he keeps putting out BRILLIANT guitar instrumental releases like "C. S. I. L" and his earlier instrumental masterpieces. I'm very familiar with MANY guitarists and there are many many outstanding guitarists out there but Andy's melodicism over super-heavy chord structures is just next level to MY ears. Another player that very few probably even have heard is David Valdes. Listen to his INCREDIBLE modern neoclassical releases "Paradise Lost" and "Imhotep." Thank me later. 🤘
This song alone, well kind in addition to "stay-Shakespeare's sister's" and his actual song "stay"... These three without a shadow of a doubt saved my life, from self harm, heroin addiction and an overwhelming sense of "I'll never deserve to be happy...". This man's emotional and wide open heart felt choruses absolutely grabbed me down from the edge.... If you only knew brotha what your music has done for my just, my inner love and respect. I owe that to this man 🤘😝🤘
Andy has become one of my faves , I have this and listen to the CD. Yes CD in my old 1991 Honda accord. Love all of his material, especially " exit through the ashes" (not from this album) all of his songs are absolutely amazing and melodic. I can hear andy soul through his playing .
Yup Im sure Satch and possibly Petrucci were influences. This song in particular sounds like something off Pink Floyd's Divison Bell album, but Satch instead of Gilmore
Indeed it does, and I’m glad, we need more guitarists like Joe. I don’t care if someone is the fastest or most technically amazing guitarist ever. If they can’t reign it in to produce something melodic and with feeling, it’s just boring.
Metallian81 i agree casue someone like jason richardson is far more technical than andy and petrucci however i could listen to petrucci or aj for way longer and thier wore interesting
Love Andy! Taught me how to play with fuzzies on my strings. Has great instructional videos, first slow speed to FAST, which will blow your mind! Thanks Andy.☮️🎸☮️
Some people look down upon using "fuzzies" when playing live as it's kind of cheating since you don't have to worry about playing clean enough to muffle strings and whatnot. I personally only use them when practicing hard lead stuff or recording lead stuff since,well, recording is hell incarnate lol. Andy's still a monster player though, love his stuff.
@@ryanschindler923 There is no cheating, just other guitarist that needs to complain about others success. Why not use the string fuzzies if it makes the sound even cleaner? it's like fucking a ugly woman rather then a hot one.
One of best modern metal guitarist really amazing Andys songs dnt need a singer his guitar can talk, i would love saw a lot of their compositions in movies or games idk
I´m not complaining when people go super technical but keeping it rather "simple" and playing super clean is much more enjoyable for me. And he still has some juicy licks in there. Awesome performance.
ВЕЛИЧАЙЩИЙ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ .....что бы так все играли лет 4000.... .000❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Watch 0:35 - 0:38, he makes a mistake he moves a whole step back but meant to go a 1 1/2 steps back. Minor mistake; I respect AJ a lot. He is one of my favorite players to watch. It's nice to see they are human like the rest of us and still make mistakes.
He is probably the cleanest player alive when u factor in the complexity of his paying.......... phrasing, technic, musicality. Truly one of the greats...
my right ear loved this song
Ali Shahbaz shut up and enjoy
im deaf in my left ear fucktard
Hahaha
Ali Shahbaz because he knew that?
Song or Melody?
Haha, the conversation with the sound guy while he's playing...
0:44 Eww, that's rubbish!
0:48 Aye, turn it up!
0:57 Now we're talking!
I’m being honest when I say this song is my favorite riff/solo instrumental of all time something is very special about this song Andy put his heart and soul in this one you can feel it I have been playing guitar for 26 years and heard it all but Andy James is something special
Yes, I share the same thoughts. This is my favourite too 😁
Vinai T
When I run this song makes me speed up every time. That is so true. I can feel the emotion flowing out of this song. It's unbelievable.
Same, especially the solo after the tapping part, it's insane the amount of emotions put into it.
Me too, it's a perfect balance or harmony, tone, emotion, technicality without getting too bogged down in any one of them.... A perfect electric guitar instrumental. TY Andy

This comment can be forgiven given your age......
Feel??? You haven’t seen steve vai and joe satriani yet? Hahahaha
Dude, no one is the best. This is a fine one, but Andy is the best hahaha
This Man has some serious Talent!!!!
Conheci esse cara agora, estou viciado nesse solo.
Ele conseguiu algo no nível Steve Vai, quanta emoção nessas melodias.
Muito bom!
His live tone is so good 👍🏻
The tones all in the chained wallet!
Great comment !

Add another “thanks for sharing/posting” to the comments- damn, he’s good!
He needs to keep writing stuff like this.

Absolutely. You are not alone.
It’s always an instant like whenever I see Andy playing. And this guitar is beautiful. I want one!
Good stuff. Can't do modern melodic guitar instrumental without sounding a bit like Joe Satriani. That's a compliment!
Yup Im sure Satch and possibly Petrucci were influences. This song in particular sounds like something off Pink Floyd's Divison Bell album, but Satch instead of Gilmore
Thanks for upload this video.
this song does have some of Sach sounds in it
absolutely
Indeed it does, and I’m glad, we need more guitarists like Joe.

You mean Satch.
Vince Yang yah. He is really good. His sound is Satriani
Metallian81 i agree casue someone like jason richardson is far more technical than andy and petrucci however i could listen to petrucci or aj for way longer and thier wore interesting
Wow, Andy James! You are really amazing. I can listen to all your solos all day long.
Andy James...je découvre ce soir et je prends un pied d'enfer... quel feeling... et quelles fulgurances mélodiques [ 4.25 4.35]... un très grand......
What a brilliant performance !! Great post my brother :)
This is why it's good to be a perfectionist. AJ, this is so well crafted
Love Andy! Taught me how to play with fuzzies on my strings. Has great instructional videos, first slow speed to FAST, which will blow your mind! Thanks Andy.☮️🎸☮️

You got it James. Sound wonderful.

So Beautiful
My feels have been touched...
What a beautiful music...🎶
Andy James: impecable 👍🏽
It's beautiful!
Not even one mistake. Are you human, Andy?
No mistakes but, some notes are different to the original record
@@DouglasRivitti doesn't matter. It's a mistake if a note is off-key or out of tune
@@MarkyPaligs Yeah, makes sense
@@MarkyPaligs tell that buckethead hahahaha
Simply ridiculous majesty
Feeling extraordinario
I love this melody piece
One of BEST!!!
Damn andy....nothing less i can say bout u man....real smthg, indeed.
Its over andy! 😁 Nice guitar solo 👏❤
hes so amazing
Me enamoré
Simply beautiful playing
I need this tone.
For those who used to say he is just a shredder with no feel, Andy James officially proved you wrong! This is fucking cool playing.
Great job.
Super spectacular AJ

Мой любимый гитарист в деле!))
The Voice of Planet Earth

Andy is the man

Pfft! that doesn't even register as a mistake, that intro is improvised and not on the studio album nor is it in the tab.
Except that wasnt a mistake lol
Marco influenced... Great lovely melody.... Thanks andy
He is probably the cleanest player alive when u factor in the complexity of his paying.......... phrasing, technic, musicality. Truly one of the greats...
Esse cara virou inspiração para tocar guitarra.
Ele também tem me inspirado, terminei de pegar essa música ontem, muito boa a melodia
Freaking Killer Man!! Amazing tune and it's always so much fun to watch you play 😎👍
That feeling!
sounds just like the recorded video exactly :D
it's just a perfect tone :o
awesome
Coolest guitar on earth!
The Best"
My idol🎸👌
Superbbb
Nice 👍
So glad I got to hear this genius, perform a tune that sounds like 30 songs Joe Satriani wrote 15 years ago.
Damn man. Can feel your jealousy from here. You might want to try practicing your guitar instead of shit posting on TH-cam..
@@chrisdigiuseppe7717 I can do both, and that wasn't an argument.
@@aaronmajchen982 but you can only do one well. Choose wisely.
@@chrisdigiuseppe7717 Do you have any clue how dumb that was?
@@aaronmajchen982 I guess you've made your choice. The guitar gods gently weep at the skills you will sadly never attain.
Muy bueno en verdad!! Link del video completo pueden pasar por favor??
The bend at 4:28 is so fucking tasteful! And also...that tone...wow.
Very gooddd...
