For this epic track Andy James and JTC have teamed up with our good friends over at Toontrack to bring you an incredible new full length song! This track will inspire and entertain you for many MANY repeats! With creativity and awe-inspiring licks in abundance, Andy was given the task of creating a brand new exclusive track using nothing but Toontrack software. Naturally he accepted the challenge and knocked it straight out of the park!
Jam Track Central and Toontrack gave metal equilibrist Andy James the task to record, mix and master a full track using nothing but Toontrack's EZmix 2 and two of its expansions, the Andy Sneap EZmix Pack and the Metal Amps EZmix Pack. All original guitar tones are DI signals without amplification. The drums are Toontrack's EZdrummer with sound expansion Metal!
The results here speak for themselves! Not only does the track sound immense (all source tones were DI signals), but in true JTC form Andy has created a track full of blistering riffs, mind blowing licks and incredible soaring solos!
In this one track pack we have included the full video, backing track and TAB so you can learn and nail this masterful track!

Clean, Swift, Quick, Brutal, Andy James ladies and gentlemen. The world needs more guitar players like him
Andy is on a whole other level. He's fast and he's super clean. He has like, every technique on the guitar down! Truly incredible talent.
I doubt he can play fretless guitar.
All except using his little finger, hah.
Tyler H Why does he have to use it if he can play better than you and I without using it?
Martin McDowell Where in my comment did I say he had to use it? No shit, Sherlock. Of course he can play better than me. Obviously my comment was light-hearted and was not denying his guitar skill, dumbass. Go get a haircut you poser, you're embarrassing your mum.
Someone got a bit butthurt, didn't they? If you're so light hearted, you could have approached my comment more maturely.
I just presumed everyone had the Dream Of Becoming Andy James.
Andy James' guitar playing skills and techniques are out of this world. amazing shred with melody. One of the best!
King of kings. Lord of lords. At least up to his speed with the clarity and wisdom
That's fair lol
Andy James is one of the only instrumental guitarists that does not make me lose interest. Granted there are so many gifted guitarists out there, but I find myself only able to listen for a bit before becoming bored. Andy James is different, his songs are so creative and unique. .
Holy hell that beginning main riff almost had an Opeth feel to it.. gave me some fierce goosebumps..
I remember the days when I thought Satch and Vai were gods.... the torch has been passed to Andy! Best guitar player I have ever heard!
Agreed. I have never heard a guitarist play so skillfully, and so clean. But it's not just fast, it's melodic. It tells a story. He truly is incredible.
Almost agreed, but I must admit that Andy uses a lot of the same sort of licks. He ties in a ton of harmonic minor with minor third 3-string runs with added 7/9 tapping. Make no mistake though, once he's been playing as long as Satch and Vai...it's gonna be unbelievable. He's already a better riff writer than the two of them combined, but Petrucci is one hell of a riff writer too.
Check out Angel Vivaldi, I feel like maybe there are people who are faster players than him, but his musical composition is out of this world, and damn does he shred.
Michael Romeo is nice too.
deathwhispers1 Michael Romeo is the best, I mean he is Creative,has a perfect Technique and Composition
2:26 - 2:52
One of the coolest riffs I have heard in ages! This whole f**king song is an eargasm!
Andy=Eddie=Joe=Steve=John=Yngwie. Youre right there with all of them.
I agree!
This is up there with some of the best lead guitar I have ever heard
Mind blowing.
Hats off to you sir. In my humble opinion, you're one of the best virtuoso instrumentalists I've seen in a longtime.
2:23-3:01 that phrasing at the end....just beautiful..
most beautiful phrase ive ever heard... going from high to low registers without being simple shred.
Andy has got to be one of,if not the biggest, shred/lead influence of mine. His playing is just so flawless.
Perfect balance of melody and shredding. Love the song.
Andy James is Kicking our asses!
The riff at 2:25 must get in to the list of "try not to headbang" riffs...
Ez dude... tie my head with a chain!!
absolutely! insane riff!
Toontrack: Can you do a demo for us?
Andy: Yes, yes I can. Would you like it to be the best thing there's ever been or...?
Your technique and style is amazing dude. Definitely one of the best guitarists I've ever heard
andy creates such amazing "chorus" licks/riffs its always great to hear em
How have I only just heard of this guy! Phenomenal playing. Add him to the virtuoso list of technical guitar players
2:25 is probably one of the coolest riffs I've ever heard
Insaneee!!
So hauntingly beautiful. Gorgeous composition.❤
I was pretty much convinced that Andy's technical abilities were far superior to his compositional skills... This track very quickly confirmed I was quite wrong.
Awesome work, can't wait for more!
I don't know why Andy's creations never makes me feel dizzy like other's. Full or creativity inside
You know what’s twisted is I have listened to this since it came out and it still gives me goosebumps. The midway riff is nasty but the ending riff has a subtlety to it that’s just absolutely gut wrenchingly disgusting
Those Toontrack plugins are amazing! They sound so good. WTF!
Andy, ESP.. this 7-string beast needs to go into production!
One of the best songs I've ever heard from you, Andy. Just amazing!
Andy James is a true master of the guitar. Hell i wish i would have have 1% of his skill level . Yes he is , a bad ass, a true Jedi and the force is strong in A.J. Respect the master!!! A.J Brilliant playing sir
God, that 'stank' face while he's flying all over the fucking place. What sheer skill and competence. I love it.
This song is unbelievable.
SENSEI ANDY JAMES is most probably a Pleiadian exiled on Earth for extreme badass behaviour on his native planet.
✨🌑🌎🇧🇷🏴🖤
this guy just melts the fretboard
I really think Andy just needs the right band and the right producer and he'd be one of the biggest guitarists in metal. Awesome, tasteful player
Can't stop to hit the replay button
That's a masterpiece
Andy james in whole another lever
God bless you brother 💯🔥🤘
War March was №1 for me before....)))) This melody shows again that A. J. is an awesome musician!
And to think, all my friends saidy guitar idol was a joke when Andy first came out. I've been watching him from the moment he showed his face and I knew he would be the greatest! Andy I hop to meet you one day
By far one the best guitarist of our generation
There is great then there is the ultimate guitar master of the instrument!!! Andy James!!!
and this is why I love Andy James.
Andy James is ruthless! Damn, that's some aggressive playing. Freakin' love it!
Amazing Andy!!
I've searched years and I finally found it again!!!!!
I've waited for the new song a long long time.......
Finally.......hell yeah Andy!
What a killer composition. Fantastic song Andy!
My metal hero! Andy james....
Godlike!
Hands down, Andy is the best
...All PERFORMANCE ANDY JAMES IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD...
Why...but...how...when...but....just...WHAT?! Andy is currently one of the best metal guitarists outthere, truly amazing in every way!
He rocks so hard that his hair fell down from his head to his face to get a better look at the awesomeness which is Andy James!!!
He is a GOOD teacher, all of his instructional videos from Lick Library are so EASY to grasp (I mean his ideas and how he conceives and explains them) ...unlike Satriani who blabbers too much bullshit by talking too much musical jargon that NO beginner would absolutely understand, I wish every guitar teacher is like Andy
Kenny Ken Ahah sorry ! Joe Satriani is the best teatcher ev... Learn Theory and then go back to him and listen to his lessons. You will just be so amazed. If you're not sure. Go ask Steve Vai :P
+Hiero Phat guthrie govan
I've noticed that about guitarists from Great Britain. They seem to explain things so articulately but at the same time so simply. Maybe because me being a player from the US I'm used to a different way but the Brits are masters if this. One of the only American guitarists I have heard explain things on the same level is Paul Gilbert.
+SaganNotPagan I love Guthrie Govan! He's probably the best I have ever heard and also another amazing teacher with a gift of explaining non-tangibles and tangibles alike!
Bit late on this, but his JTC stuff is even better. ;)
He has become my metal guitar hero. Super clean and super fast and super melodic. Kudos to you Andy.
Everytime I see him play I just want to pick up my guitar and play.. it's been a year but his composition still gives me the same motivation Everytime I watch.
This man never ceases to amaze me.
My ears are crying!! That's how much this song rocks \m/
Eye's closed pretending im playng it. WOW I feel like a god.
Omg!!!!! This is insane!!! Andy James is a beast!!!!! Rock on Andy!!!!! \m/
Absolutely breathtaking! Any is one of the most brilliant guitarists to ever touch the instrument.
Agreed! I just learned of Andy about a year ago as I was searching JamTrack Central for more material on Guthrie Govan and Marco Sfogli (another extreme talent!!). I have been a James fan ever since and bought all of his music right after listening to one jam track!
Andy James has been touched by the guitar gods
I cannot understand anyone who criticise this amazing guitar player. For the ones who say not soul here you are in the wrong youtube channel go to the grandma songs, this channel is for people who understand music. Full stop
Your hands are filled with blessings! Shine like a star,
The whole song is great but the licks at 44 - 53 seconds really do it for me. That little ten second clip sounds so awesome I can hardly believe it.
2:33....that face.... it says literally everything....literally everything
What an absolute animal. Every guitar player ever needs to hear this. Just absolutely incredible.
amazing guitar playing... the thinnest tone I've ever heard from Andy james. I'd love to hear this reampped through his multiamp using his usual tones!
One of the best guitarist of all time....
Hands down, Andy is the best
One of catchiest guitarists that I have ever heard. Amazing tone and incredible phrasing!!!!
This is inspiring and discouraging at the same time... ;-)
Andy, you're a fucking beast .. What a wonderful composition ! You're the new guitar god, no doubt !
better than everyone its hipervirtuosso musically shredin amazing technique he got everithing haha
Andy James your music blazes a whole new trail of music evolution! Your spontaneous explosive riffs are all you no copy here!!!!! Thanks
Wish I could click like on this video more than once! This guy is such a legend.
By far one of the best guitarists out there well done andy
Not only did I like the playing but the song itself was awesome.
Ragnar Lothbrok can play the guitar like a fucking beast.
Floki's the one on drums.
My god, what a fantastic player.
Amaizing !!!
Best of all from israel with love and freindship.
Guy,
Hell yeah! That was incredible. I attempted to jam along with it, but just found myself sitting back with my hand over the strings listening instead haha.
That ending riff is on POINT
Dear mother of god, 2:25 to 2:52
The definition of headbanging riffs as written by Andy James, simply brilliant.
never fail to amaze me andy. The riffing is sick, solo's too, but the riffs.... pff hat off mate.
I can't stop listening to this song! Amazing!
I could put this on repeat all day long \m/
Mr.Andy you're an extraordinaire...awesome
Красивый рок ! Бомбастик . Спасибо Энди .

Andy, thank you.
This performance still amazes me!
That's was great dude! I like the end 🤘
that was SO sick, my ears are thanking me
who would ever thumbs down Andy James? ??
+Matthew Jacobsen
People who can do it much better, presumably, and who are simply disappointed how badly Andy did with this.
At this point, there are 88 people out there who are better. Funny I haven't seen their uploads yet...
+mano a mano Or they just don't like the song?
Agree
Cause there is no option for a jealousy button.
This is frigging bad ass!
Really liked that riff at the end...
Marvelous, just marvelous. Such a clean execution.
amazing blazing..phrasing! AJ FTW!!
Great playing!
And riff from 2:25 is so killer and nice, listening over and over again
that riff at 2.26 is brutal!
Andy is just amazing!!! going beast mode!!
Emotional at the beginning, The speed of the riff playing at 0:49 is fucking awesome... The whole song is Emotional and Heavy metal type
