oh my god andy james from tutorial videos of lick library , i always followed him this guy never failed me . every song is pure orgasmic to my ear . and he delivers again
There might be a few. Manuel Gardner Fernandez, Jason Richardson, Ichika Nito, Tim Henson, plus some lesser known guys like Tramaine Jonathan. But at a certain point technique becomes less important than musicality, and this guy has that in spades.
@@humanbiker actually you can count Steve Terreberry since he's more talented than you think, it just his goofiness that overshadowed his actual talent.
Andy James is so incredible, and really the only instrumental guitarist that I never get bored of listening to. He has the ability of creating melody in his songs, just such an amazing musician.
@@Metalton95 ..just because Andy James is so good,that doesn't mean those other guys aren't awesome too. He's my favorite too but then I listen to the other guys like Angel Vivaldi ,and the other guys and get reminded how good they are too! I'm just glad that TH-cam allows us to see all the shredders we want!\m/..(I'm also "hooked" on those Josh Middleton Kemper profile bundle demos...that thick guitar sound and playing...\m/)
My favorte thing about his music is how the words are replaced by these beautiful riffs and they still feel like vocals. This dude is majestic as fuck on a guitar.
Andy is just on a completely different level when it comes to the emotion behind his songs. Truly one of a kind in this world. Keep it up brother!!! Huge inspiration to myself and many friends!!
One thing I love about Andy is; there's no wasted moments. Everything is efficient. He doesn't try to be overly impressive for the sake of displaying his technique, he delivers incredibly thoughtful sound consistently and that to me is better than him trying to convince me he's the most talented guitarist out there, even though I believe he is regardless.
I just love Drifting the moment with these instrumentals,simply a massage to the ears/Mind/Body and Soul,I could never get tired of this Style,it's Dynamite in my Universe>>I love the FX of what his hand looks like playing and I call it "The Spider Racing The Fret Board"
This is brilliant! That is so consistant yet varied album. Wow. I have to admit I'm 100% stuned of how every new song is a surprise. Extremely pleasure surprise. And that tapping combinations... my god... You Sir are a true Virtuoso!
YOU ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! YOU ARE MORE THAN AMAZING!!! I SAID IT BEFORE. I'VE SEEN A LOT OF GREAT MUSICIANS THAT PLAY GUITAR, YOU REALLY MADE ME TURN AROUND AND I STOPPED LISTENING TO YOU. I HEARD YOU AND I GOT TO TELL YOU THAT I'M MORE THAN MESMERIZED, IMPRESSED PERPLEXED, SURPRISED YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL. YOU ARE A STAR CHILD. DON'T EVER STOP PLAYING. I WILL NEVER STOP LISTENING TO YOU. I HOPE ONE DAY I CAN SEE YOU LIVE AND MEETING YOU. ALL THE BEST TO YOU. GOD SPEED!!! KINDEST REGARDS, MARTIN SORDO RIVAS
Special talent. Almost takes your breathe away. The melodic articulation is impressive in all his work. Just special. Thank you Andy for sharing this with the world.
I discovered Andy just 20 minutes ago .. I grew up in the era of Yngwie ,Gilbert , Vinnie Moore , George Lynch , Petrucci and EVH .. This gentleman is absolutely amazing . He can shred , Many can .. but to be able to play with emotion .. That is the essence of music .. I might have found my newest favorite .. I must explore more ..
Man, his skill level is nuts but you can feel such a soulfulness in his music. I bet he is a pretty upbeat but chill person with a slight bit of melancholic.
TH-cam algorithm just recommended me you. So far all your songs are ridiculously good. A motif I am noticing is unbelievably uplifting melodies. The choruses I've heard so far are usually a basic Swedish-esque soaring melody. LOVE IT!
Man this guy is absolutely incredible. I have been watching playthroughs all night and my goodness. Has to be the most perfect blend of technical prowess and emotion that I have heard in....maybe forever. I am telling friends and can't decide what songs to send them for their first time lol. Mine was after midnight, still probably my fave but not a single piece is bad. At least a part of every one of his songs catches me right in the feels. Thank you Mr. James for making the world a more beautiful place with your music.
in my humble opinion he is the best heavy metal guitarist in the world today, because he is complete, has speed, feeling, aggressiveness and precision, all in the right dose and at the right time.
Dude, MAD respect! This guy floored it for the Killer Instinct theme. Never payed much attention to his insanely HQ skills. Jeezus! Rock on my man! Gonna toss some of your stuff streaming over to a BluTooth speaker & jam it for Memorial Day weekend, cookout & think of how my Dad would have loved it (he passed last week). Did he EVEN break a sweat here? No! I'd have been blistered 6 ways from Sunday on this even TRYING 1 minute in! :-)
I listened to this song the day this album was released - and here I am again watching and listening. Andy's solo albums are friggin fantastic. His combination of tasteful melodies and shred are unmatched (in my opinion). All his music is absolutely worth you time!
What I like about Andy is the way of music composition. He is like the Pavarotti of Guitar Playing,because he can make people appreciate his music even if they don't know anything about guitar. That's not an easy task.
This entire album is incredible. I've been listening to it non stop since I picked up a few days ago. I noticed that Andy James does all the engineering for his albums as well. I would love to see some sort of light into his mixing/mastering process. These recordings absolutely kill!
What i find unreal is that Andy plays with a super high action what makes a better tone but compromises the ability to go fast. And yep. He can go fast. Great job. Wonder if was medium to low action. He would run a guitar at speed of light
@@kungfuman82 you right . You thing is for sure. I hate high action myself . But the tone is clear. From all guitar players. Andy is the most clean tone player. Every note is there and its not muffled
Amazing and really creative, 100% perfect shredding technique but at the same time very melodic and emotional. Just perfect. Modern, you can even say futurist. I'm so glad to see this new generation of incredible guitar players coming... And this guy is on the top. Thanks for your music!

andy james
from tutorial videos of lick library , i always followed him
this guy never failed me . every song is pure orgasmic to my ear .
and he delivers again
Does it have tabs
I bought this album the day it came out. 85' is one of my favorite tracks.
guitar brand????
@@zayrulhafiz6263 Kiesel guitars, Andy has his own signature model.
You're like a modern day Satriani. So much emotion. Fantastic.
Very True !
Not, this is Petrucci tone..)
HE IS
@@Majesty_MD eh yes and no
Awesome, but not Satriani.
This man is really good at giving eargasms.
No one beats Andy on a technical level.
He's simply the best today.
What shout Guthrie? And alternate picking Both Gilbert and Petrucci are still considered the top dogs generally.

Polyphias guitarist on a technical level is ahead of this. Do I like it better though? Nah Andy is better.
Matteo Mancuso
That Melodys and Speed!!! Every song is a piece of Gold. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
like a diamon
Andy James is so incredible, and really the only instrumental guitarist that I never get bored of listening to. He has the ability of creating melody in his songs, just such an amazing musician.
Angel vivaldi too?
vivaldi quite boring( BUt awesome song too
Scott Thurminater Angel is great but Andy is past him slightly I think
What about Paul Wardingham, Jeff Loomis, Steve Vai, Satch and Nick Johnston?

Man that part at 1:23 is such a beautiful resolution. This dude OOZES emotion in his writing.
The Sadness, The Tapping, The Notes, The Lead, The Rhythm and The Whole Environment of the Dark Room Blends in so well
I've just dropped my jaw and can't find it,. Masterpiece!
Dinner's gonna be hard to eat tonight then.
@@JeremyR76 😂😂😂

cant describe...the emotion this song gives me,to mutch to write about...Andy pls never stop brilliant
agreed!
I cried man first time i heard this - i was in a depressive mood but man i needed it ya kno it brought it right out!~~
Andy just continues to dish out crazy songs, this guy really have unlimited talent
От такой музыки мурашки по телу бегут!Рыжик красава! Однозначно лучший!Браво!❤
Speechless! Mind boggling melodic shredding that's simply flawless with impeccable accuracy.
Yes, this.
That melted my face andy... LOVE IT!
The tapping riff at .25 seconds is just killer!
That bit is honestly one of my favourite tapping riffs of all time. Pure goosebumps!
That BEND at 4:10 just gets me everytime... can't stop listening!
Me too love that part so much
Andy is just on a completely different level when it comes to the emotion behind his songs. Truly one of a kind in this world. Keep it up brother!!! Huge inspiration to myself and many friends!!
My God!!!
Insane...even the backing track is ridiculously insane...everything is just INSANE!!!

You Sir are a true Virtuoso!
Those fills, the flurries of notes sound magical, love this!
YOU ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!
YOU ARE MORE THAN AMAZING!!!

perfect balance.. beautiful melody, soulful bend & vibrato, fast shred..
I've just had a massive eargasm! What a brilliant tune 👍😀👌
Simply the best right now! He is the only one who can combine speed with melody in the correct way.
Лучший из лучших !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best Andy James track. Period.
Listened to it 10 times straight.
Man, his skill level is nuts but you can feel such a soulfulness in his music. I bet he is a pretty upbeat but chill person with a slight bit of melancholic.
the melody is just GOOSEBUMPS....one of the best songs ever by Andy
Kills it with a leather jacket on. Balls! I couldn't be anymore a fan. Best talent I've seen and heard in years.
A pure treat for the eyes and ears..Andy takes you on a journey in another dimension
TH-cam algorithm just recommended me you. So far all your songs are ridiculously good. A motif I am noticing is unbelievably uplifting melodies. The choruses I've heard so far are usually a basic Swedish-esque soaring melody. LOVE IT!
Must have heard that song like 10 times in a row. A perfect combination of shredding and melody. Amazing.

Monstro!
Tambem sou fa dele, toca de mais!!!!

Such a beautiful melody, starting at 1:16. Outstanding!
Saya dari 2024
Dear Mr James! You may sit on a chair but you´re standing on a mountain!
Love this smooth shredding, melody, emotions. As a guitarist too everytime when I hear your songs, I play it with you in my head
Super human melodic level ...
Awesome tapping @andy

-Have you ever seen a guitar singing?
-Yes, Andy James- 85'
Such a masterpiece!
omg shame on me i discovered only in 2023 this amazing artist
ME TO BRO ME TO =)
Don’t worry your both legends for discovering his art 🤘🤘
I listened to this song the day this album was released - and here I am again watching and listening. Andy's solo albums are friggin fantastic. His combination of tasteful melodies and shred are unmatched (in my opinion). All his music is absolutely worth you time!
2024 Here
@@ktopaz all tunes are bangers , enjoy
This dude. His playing is the bacon of music.
Just when you thought this dude couldn't get any better, he continues to push out the boundaries of the impossible!
There’s that Power Cosmic groove, reimagined...brilliant work, Andy! So looking forward to this Friday!
Incredible congratulations great guitarist. All the best
Every time you make me smile with your playing, technicality, feeling... You're just plain awesome man 🤘
The best guitarist in my opinion, deserving of more popularity and his own band for playing his beautiful music on tours around the world
The killer of all electroguitarists. I give this award to you!❤
One of the best guitarists of the last decade .. melodic shred with tight and accurate chops.. never get bored listening to Andy ..
4:23 till the end, im in love with that section, so damn good.
Amazing! whoever said shred guitarists have no feeling are rolling in their graves ! Just beautiful
I play like this in my wildest dreams only!!! Absolutely sick Mr. James! Love the Arrival album! It's actually in my car's cd player right now!
One of my favorite guitarist..
This Music Track is absolutly Georgeus!. ☮️💙🍀🎸🎛🍀🌈🤟🏻🎶👍🏻
A million word cant describe this masterpiece
@BAZ INGA yes he is 🤩🤩
What I like about Andy is the way of music composition. He is like the Pavarotti of Guitar Playing,because he can make people appreciate his music even if they don't know anything about guitar. That's not an easy task.
I think this track best of album!
Beautiful Melodies, Great Harmonic Progressions, Beautiful Shred and Phrases, Killer Production, Flawless Sound... what else do you want....
how can someone dislike this? this is an epic piece of music, andy james you got my respect..keep on rocking
can not get enough of Andy or Paul Wardingham both are fantastic musicians and composers, producers and editors.
85' is my birth year. Coincidence? Definitively! But Andy is killing it, as always. So nice, thank you for that!
I believe its Andy's birth year as well
My bad, he was born in 1981, maybe he wrote it for you man!
@@emayfrit Ahah, if only...
Mine, too ;) best year to be born :D
Absolutely unreal phrasing.
Mind blowing guitar playing as always great track keep up the good work Mr James 👍
HOLEY CHRIST!!! first time hearing this..... again DON'T EVEN HAVE WORDS to describe how amazing you are man
Wow how I never heard of this dude but I got him on my playlist now
I have no words for this. I used to watch his video lessons on LickLibrary. He has set a level for the guitarists out there.
Utterly amazing so melodic :P
Amazing. Thanks God guitar players are still alive
You are the most talented and handsome guitar player that I ever saw in my life!!
Andy, make a move before I do 😆
best guitar player ever.
doesnt make a bad song. plays with unmatched feel and technicality.
Mind blowing every single time👌👌🤟
This is such a testimony to Andy's depth
Love that sound. Reminds me of a badass Sega genesis fighting game theme.
man you really break me. i cant stop listening it. i repeat again and again. it beautiful
God dammit this is just extraordinary
i know you are genius but you surprise me every time with something new
So much soul in his playing .. Just great !
Step one: turn knob clockwise completely
Step two: roll all windows down
Step three: apply max pressure to acceleration pedal
Amen chief
This dude's hands are amazing!
you are back master❤
One of my favorite guitarist , fantastics ,love to see .
This entire album is incredible. I've been listening to it non stop since I picked up a few days ago. I noticed that Andy James does all the engineering for his albums as well. I would love to see some sort of light into his mixing/mastering process. These recordings absolutely kill!
Next level shred 💣💣
This new song is awesome. Andy James always pushes it to the next level.
damn..I think that's my favorite yet :D
Mine, too😎✌️
Reach this level of technique and accuracy
is the dream of any musician thank you great guitar master for showing us the infinite possibilities !!!
What i find unreal is that Andy plays with a super high action what makes a better tone but compromises the ability to go fast. And yep. He can go fast. Great job. Wonder if was medium to low action. He would run a guitar at speed of light
paulo alexandre Also, if you watch his pick hand, it looks like he sometimes let's go of the pick with his thumb during some lines.
@@kungfuman82 you right . You thing is for sure. I hate high action myself . But the tone is clear. From all guitar players. Andy is the most clean tone player. Every note is there and its not muffled
Andy James is by far the best, most current Guitarist out there at the minute, he can come up with melody, witch shred built in... total inspiration
I love this song so much, I made a short tutorial on my favourite parts!
You are what every guitar player would want to be .. all in one... I’m amazed.
damn..impressed,so melodic..
One must have a profoundly beautiful soul and an infinitely complex mind to create music so majestic as this. Andy James I drop my pick for you sir.
Amazing and really creative, 100% perfect shredding technique but at the same time very melodic and emotional. Just perfect. Modern, you can even say futurist.
I'm so glad to see this new generation of incredible guitar players coming... And this guy is on the top.
Thanks for your music!
awesome!from Russia with love
