This man is hands down one of my favorite guitarists and I'm not ashamed to admit it. He always puts melody first.
DJ KO True. Pardon my dumbass wording and dumbass self.
So it saying peps would be ashamed to admit that????
Shame? There’s absolutely no shame in that! This dude is fckn amazing!
100% agreed he’s unreal
Would love to see him go on a G3 tour
Production on point. 🔥
Right? Amazing is all aspects.
Best thing. Musician respect other Musician
I vote for a Andy James and Cole Rolland collab video. Two powerhouses working together
always with andy
beyond on point man. ive Been shredding for 21 years and producing for 12. As a professional myself this is some fucking world class song writing and producing. and playing of course.
Dude is fucking murdering it. Intro, bridge pre solo solo and the resolve at the end is fucking flawless. I’ll put this dude up against anyone dead or alive.
This is a masterpiece. End of discussion. 🤘
Like seriously man How do you write songs? Every song you released is a beast. Such an inspiration
Talodz I just sit n tweak n try stuff until I’m happy n it seems to flow ok I guess. I have a definite style of doing things at the moment n I guess I’m just riding that wave until I get bored or it doesn’t inspire me, then I guess I’ll try something else. It’s difficult to try and keep things interesting and maintain a sound. Deffo takes work and I don’t always get it right, but the more you do it the more consistently acceptable it becomes
@@floevo Well man, that's interesting. Your phrasing and lines are just killer. You're the best at what you do. Congratulations with your new sig guitar. Thanks for taking time to share your writing process. Much love from the Philippines.
Talodz Und
@FiniteAutomaton damn, i havent played for 30 years...but i have played for 16 years and i couldnt imagine going months without playing.
@@floevo I'm glad you mentioned riding this style out - it can get quite boring from a listeners perspective. Know what you're capable of, I would love to see something stylistically/technically different from you :) Cheers
Damn, 3 years later and this still hits just as hard.
The Batman watching over Gotham, perched between gargoyles several storeys high.
The rain lashing down relentlessly, the threat of a storm on the horizon.
He watches. He waits.
Justice will not sleep tonight.
Wow that was cool man...
@@DekkarJr thanks bro.
Stay forever vigilant.
The world needs watchers like us.
The hell are you talking about.
Batman is for children.
@@thegreatape884 wanna get bro’d up dude?
@@the_shadow_realm5110 I don't speak regarded.
Absolutely love it, thanks Andy!
this is soooo fucking beautiful dude ! i can't stop hear it ! thx !
Andy, Seriously man, I just found this the other day and can't stop listening. At least 4 times a day. The melodic shifts, and the way the main track moves, and shifts while you are blazing over top of it, it is EVERYTHING i love in music, and everything I love when I FEEL the music I listen to. It makes me moves, and it inspires me. I have been working in trying to play some of this, as it feels phenomenal. I am not a super shredder like you, but this song makes me want to practice even harder to get there to nail a lot of this. You are amazing bro, and an inspiration!
This solo always gives me goosebumps. It’s so good and the way it builds is insane.
You are such an inspiration Andy, thanks so much for sharing your music with us!
What an amazing performance!!!
Andy, great job brother, it's always a great pleasure to listen to you!!!
Thank you so much!!!
Again and again Andy is the man. Melodic and technically brilliant. Cheers on another impressive track from the House of James
Just gets better and better. Love your playing dude.
Another masterpiece from you, Andy James, thanks !!
the passion and emotion is strong with this one - so good its on repeat again .... a masterpiece
Once again And shows how deep his playing is. So much emotion combined with his technical virtuosity makes such an incredible song. Thanks once again Andy
Insanely incredible. Astounding amazing. Outlandishly outstanding.
Love the feel of this! Amazing stuff as always Andy! Really love the tone produced with this combination.
I'm listening to this song now, man, sensational melody, I can't get enough of it, I don't remember another melody as beautiful as this one in recent years, congratulations and thank you for sharing your work, I feel gifted to hear.
This was brilliant Andy. Been listening to your music for years now man. Never gets old. You’re new style is inspiring. Your music is growing. Love it
That is literally the sickest guitar I've ever seen. So bad ass!
Excellent mood Andy, gives me goosebumps every time!!!
Such a beautiful piece played on a gorgeous instrument. Love them both.
Wow! Always evolving. Great song mate. Tonemaster!
this song has so much passion and power in it I cannot even describe it
You took this exactly where my mind wanted it to go. Simple and clean
Man i just finished learning “after midnight” and then you hit me with “stay” and I’m barely learning the first part and along comes this masterpiece, you inspire me, you push me further, you get me all emo, such powerfull music.

I have watched this everyday for the past four days. It still hasn’t gotten boring.
Such a killer feel to this one!! Way to go Andy, it has so much passion in it! And I love this Kiesel guitar you're jamming.
Master of Melody - Thanks for the smiles James. Love it!'
This music is an emotion, it's a nostalgia!
I wish it reaches every heart in the globe ❤❤❤
Solid composition my friend. Keep 'em hammering.
Impeccable note selection... stunning chord progressions... jaw dropping runs... so balanced and beautiful..
Amaizing! Thank you Andy!
It's times like this that I'm so blown away by what I see someone do on the guitar that it makes me pick it back up and I start practicing again. Absolutely incredible.
Andy. Always sounds good
Nice to see him with Kiesel
I already had chills from the intro... Then the gritty rhythm and the powerful soloing kicked in. Blown away by the end of the tune 🤘
Amazing, you bring so much soul and feeling to a genre that just "shreds".. The emotion in your music is real brother! Your songs are awesome Andy!
The hyper-combo at 3:35 is insane.
Love this track.
without a doubt one of my favorite guitarists period.
Wow.. dang dude.. I couldn't stop listening.. I freaking loved it.
this song is amazing! I have no word for this. The feelign Andy puts in his songs. Just incredible!
I nailed one lick from this track and about broke into tears playing it along with the recording. Amazing music. Great work brother

I have had this tune playing for weeks now!!!
Can't get over that chorus hook!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was awesome.. Never heard of you before but holy crap.. On to watch the other videos!
Inspiring and soulful mate felt that one
Absolutely amazing!! The skill level and creativity displayed here is so impressive, I can’t get over how good this is.
Its amazing when the expression comes out in the whole notes, and the evolves into shred. I think you're getting better every year Andy
This is absolutely amazing. 💯 👏 🎸 🔥
I just heard this on the Arrival Leftovers album, and just had to come say thank you to Andy James.
This song gave me a huge inspiration for a scene in the novel I'm writing. I had been stuck for a couple of weeks not getting anywhere writing wise, but this song suddenly had the scene unfolding in my head as I listened to it. Whenever I go back to read that scene, I'll forever hear this song in my head.
I don't know if you read the comments, but I just wanted to sincerely thank you for cracking my writers block, and getting my creative juices flowing again. Many most humble thanks.
Sound just amazing , riffs talks more than lyrics and means spirit wonders
Thank you James helping outer passing difficult moments
Your songs and your melody resonates with my soul man. Thank you.
This dude could pull this off on almost any guitar. It's always been about the players.
he can play anything
This is absolutely bonkers mate... cheers.
This tune is insanely awsome I’ve been listening to it everyday for months now
I just can’t get enough of this amazing gentleman’s guitar playing. I am awed.
Beautiful! Always inspired and technically great😎
Absolutely amazing ! Pickups sound incredible!
Jeremy Landphier I prefer the bridge!! 😝
Just crushing it! One of my absolute favorites!
One of my favourite guitarists!!! Incredible versatility!!! Insane shreds!! Brilliant Andy, absolutelly great!!
Still one of my favorite solos of all time.... amazing!
So I just discovered you man, what the hell. Lawd all mighty you got the Soul and the HEAT.
I love that song so much it makes me cry when I hear it when Andy James plays that's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard
So nice I had to post twice. Andy's technique and ability to hit everything clean is over the top. Hes in a league of his own. His talent is amazing
The best guitar player at the moment. Combining high level technique, melody and heaviness! Keep the great work AJ , keep yourself humble ! we love your work
Agree.
Awesome. Congratulations! You're incredible, always mixing high level technique with beautiful feeling.
I'm on my way..
Sir, you are a beast. Good heavens, so groovy and so tight. I'm in awe
I’ve watched this video I don’t know how many times. It never gets old and it’s just damn awesome! I guess that’s why it’s called the watcher. You just keep watching it over and over again!Andy I don’t know how you do it but keep on keeping on. Just an amazing piece of music! Absolutely awesome!
Goosebumps.
This guy is A W E S O M E, every song a new beast.
Awsome man, just downloaded tabs for this, nice 1 Andy!!
Awesome job Andy James! That was ridiculously good.
That guitar is beautiful!!! Wish I could afford one! Great vid ...
Simply killing it again Andy totally awesome dude 👏👏👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘👍
Never get tired of this track.
Amazing. As always.
Awesome AJ Kiesel, congrats! Really nice songs
I wish I was as good as andy. The style, the perfectly timed slides and well placed bends really define his heavy but passionate style of playing. Then the major to minor scale changes with heavier distortion really stopped this banger off! Andy, by any chance you ever see this or read it, you are an inspiration inspiration ok me and I'm glad I found out about you a couple of years ago.
Total.......TOTAL AWESOMENESS. My word was that REALLY NICE. YES, thank you sir for that wonderful display of virtuosity. WOW!!!
amazing as always!!
Amazing music. Beautiful guitar too.
Your music has been a source of mental health freedom in this pandemic. With all the doom and gloom, turning your channel up to 11, gives two fingers to everything. Cheers.
It is an expression of excellence we should all aspire to in whatever we are doing. Andy thank you for that gift. May the world be better because of this masterpiece.
i can listen to you all day....please dont stop
Muiiiito show Mestre dos mestres, abração.
In addition to the brain melting technique, Andy's picking nuances are stunning. You can really hear the changes in picking dynamics. CRAZY cool.
cmonsterz and he knows how to let the song breathe. Notice he will take his hands off the fretboard occasionally.
wow so amazing, so clean in crucial notes
This is brilliant Andy
I think I've watched this 500+ times since this video came out. That solo is just wicked. This and the Petrucci demo... I think are my two favorite solos of all time.
Andy James you must be in a G3 with Satch and Vai... your music and technique are amazing... Congrats
Love the way you play.
I feel your music in my soul.
His riffs are always awesome!
It's a pity not to be able to like it more than once. I never get tired of listening to this song. Congratulations Andy
I do believe andy is one of the best players in the world.truly fuckin amazing.
I agree with you. I just realized why I am such a fan as well. My favorite guitarist (back in the 70's-80's) with UFO and the Scorpion's, Michael Schenker, never missed a note. Fast or slow each note was played as if it was just as important as any other. So does Andy James.
Your always good at it
I would go so far as to say he IS the best in the world right now.
WOW! beautiful melody and epic solo! Love it
Andy is truly one with his instrument. I've never seen a musician meld so perfectly with guitar. He was absolutely born for this and he kills it every time. He doesn't even seem bothered by the technicality of what he's playing, it's just natural, and you can tell.
The soul in this song surpasses all the others!
