no one is better than andy in the style of music he plays, he can outshred any human on this earth cause andy is a shred robot from outer space
It would be awesowe if he recorded this track with his nowadays sound
already nowadays sound :)
Agreed
This is Vintage James hehe
I still like this tone
Was expecting Iron Maiden song..but wow! did not disappoint. Great shredding, awesome feeling
This is Andy James, I'm only Andy James when I am asleep dreaming. I haven't posted any videos of myself yet but I have covered a lot of andy's stuff
I play this in my sleep. This is my bedtime lullaby.
Facemelting achieved.
15 minutes after watching video... face still melting
Andy James is the Highlander. He's axed off every other guitarist's heads and has added their powers to his own.
I love these jams, full of soul
Can't stop watching this video.. every time I watch I'm just as amazed at his playing as i was the first time I saw this. Andy James is a GOD!
such a pleasure to watch play !
this right here is truleyy amazing,all of andy james muzic is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like how he's managed to fuse both modern techniques and that old school feeling in his playing. One of the best things to happen to guitar, this guy.
virtuoso is an exact descriptive of this person's abilities
now that was pretty cool, never heard of him before and found this randomly but very happy i did, will have to look for more.
all of it is amazing
love the annotations
this is simply beautiful!
He just makes it looks soo easy..
i really love the medieval feel of this song. andy is such an amazing artist!
andy... man your solo in 2:48 - 4:05 is outstanding and amazing!!
sick!!!! good groove to such a powerful song
Andy should be admired, but it's easy to say fuck, I'll never play this good, and just give up
if you can't play it, become better until you can, it's just hard work but at least most people can do it with enough determination. i play for two years now and i can't play this yet, but i'll keep on improving myself til i can. it'll probably take some time, but i have time.
When I was young, I practiced everyday with a metronome trying to break the speed barrier. I just couldn't alternate pick really fast. By my late 20's, I realized that I would never be a shredder like all my heroes. Instead of trying to emulate them, I applied the things that I DID really well and found other ways to play fast. For instance, using more legato, mixing up note groupings across scales and altering my picking hand in certain ways. By doing so, I created my own style. My point is, that eventually in your music career you have to stop trying to play like others and be yourself. Though I don't listen to this stuff anymore, I can appreciate Andy's talent and love the way he rips it... so aggressive, but at the same time I feel I may even have some qualities that he may not. We all have them, it's just a matter of when we discover them
MrRupsiee
If you've played for two years it's not a probem to can't play his songs ^^
I've been playing for 3 years and i can play angel of darkness, but i caught a tendinitis cause i played about 3 hours per day... it's up to you :)
kickthechair35 hmm, that doesn't sound too healthy, but i don't play as much on average. i know a guy who also plays a lot every day and he's often seen with bandages on his fingers because he's been practicing too much.
Never give up, buddy!
All of it dude, it's all incredible
this guy is amazing
Meltdown still one of my fave guitar CD's to listen to.
Love it!
Double chills during solo!!!
Andy James is truely amazing.. One of the best.
way too awesome for words
Virtuoso performance!
In the dvd of this, he explains all the parts but the bridge note for note, and putting it together in guitar pro would take a couple of hours max.
I love his vibrato in bendings.
thx a lot for the great tab !!!
amen to that bro i take much of my playing influence from him then again theres tons of guitarists i take influence from
wow what an amazing song. it represents the whole flight of icarus. first the rise and fun and then in the middle of the solo he crashes down. crazy^^
Awesome man, post it ASAP, love 2 see!
i love this song
Wish i could play like him, such skill.
Just discovered this guy. A friend at work was telling about his yesterdayt. Very good player with cool original angular lines. I usually hate tapping but has a unique approach to it!
One word: Virtuoso. And great composer. One of most beautiful song ever.
He doesnt compose these songs are 30yrs old. The same song as vai satriani and andy timmons. It has a million names. Every song is the same. Just different speed. He wrote none of it.
@0xxTheMessiahxx0 Yeah. Andy does some different types of picking techniques, so I thought I'd throw them in there. Thanks brother!
He seems so relaxed through the whole thing. Damn it....
Ledmetacdc being relaxed while playing is the key
and not a single fuck was given that day :) honestly one of the best tune's I have heard
omfg..you are a real genius. i wish i could play like you.
Awesome playing and tone!!!!!
3:16 Holy shit... That is so clean.. his technique is amazing.
It honestly did to me. Andy James inspired me to start writing my own instrumental stuff :)
This should have way more views.
Man this guy is mind-blowin'
Great performance. Like it.
incredible.....Bravo
You are awesome man!
amazing!
Glorious
I LOVE THIS
This song is so awesome that I really think about Icarus everytime I hear it, and imagine how his traveling would have been if he had and iPod. Anyway, he would be proud of Andy!
You are the best man ! just incredible
This is the best Andy James song..
Listen to After Midnight
What a Virtuosso.
Amazing !
fabulous
wow man your playing is awesome, keep it up
Great playing.
Now i've seen what the people call perfection... this song is awesome
Great song
very nice sound!!!!!!!!!!!
and beauty, all in one
This is such a cool song
That one is great but I also love the Maze.
Man! i saw a couple videos of you and I'm already your fan!!
This solo is fucking badass!!! I really hope to be as good as you in some years.
You ,Sir , are AWESOME!!!! keep rocking !!!!!!!
o melhor solo que eu ja ouvi !! parabems andy
That was awsome
my face was melted when i read andy james
This could of almost been on John petrucci's solo record. Mode and rhythm wise great clean playing yet again Andy love it!
Bravo!
A link to a tab will be in the description soon.
wow this is a great exercise! and song obviously :)
beautiful (y)
I saw a quantum leap in my playing when I quit smoking, started eating better and promoted healthy blood flow. Practice and decent equipment are only two points of a triangle. Wish I took that more seriously early on because this guy still inspires me!
"I play this in my sleep, it's my bedtime lullaby"
Hahah best thing I've seen all week
@0xxTheMessiahxx0 The backing track comes with the DVD.
Indeed!!!
Anyone know where I can get a copy of this track??
i dotn know wich guitar i have to buy i wont one with a floyd rose system and 25 frets or 24 dont know between 500 and 800 euro but i dont know wich one is good i play different stuff heavy like pantera or steve vai.... etc
Does anyone know which scale is andy using in this song?
@bnino1216 The wristband doesn't do anything. It removes excess noise, but it also makes the guitar strings a lot more rigid, hard to play, AND hard to bend. Andy is a great guitarist, the hairband doesn't mean a thing or affect his playing skills or sound in virtually any way.
this guy is pretty intense i won't lie. even his slow stuff sounds great and everything mixes good
Great!!!!!!!!!!!!
awesome
@tyronegodfreyraman It's not a capo. It's just a hair band (ironic for andy) that is used to limit excess string noise when doing fast passages like sweeping. It also gives your tone a more suppressed clean sound because the strings don't vibrate as much.
hey godphreaker could you tab the solo part right after the first bridge. im using your tab on ultimate guitar but it skips from the bridge right to the faster part of the solo. i got it up to the sweep-tapping but i can't even see what he's doing after that.
@AllShallStand Yep, I'm making a Guitar Pro tab right now.
Cuore forte!
@klummster88 Thanks! I had to do more than half of it by ear because I lost most of the files from the DVD. I hit replay like 10,000 times, lol.
You should stay, and listen to this guy play, he's really talented.
shit i clicked on this thinkin it was Maiden! nice technique though.
@ The annotations, is it hard to alternative pick? I've always alternative everything ever sinced I started playing guitar, and am actually quite 'bad' (relative to alternative picking) at down picking. I've always considered alternative picking as 'normal', so is it supposed to be considered somewhat advances normally?
Cool!
03:20 wow! Amazing! MASTER!
perfect dud
vc é muito foda ...
admiro muito!
