This guy is my influence...i mastered shredding and sweep picking by seeing his video lessons...he is an excellent teacher and a great guitar player ..he deserves international fame...one of most technically proficient guitar player...👍
Hope the dude will get the international recognition he deserves! Humble, yet highly proficient player - pulls off technical, speedy styles with the emotion most other tracks just miss and is precise as a surgeon playing guitar! Furthermore: dope teacher! Can't top him ;)
Andy James is my idol, he is the man who inspires me to work on my lead playing. I am primarily a rhythm player and his playing and really inspires me to do what I do best and that is playing guitar.
He has his own style and he can play with the guitar style and techniques of other guitarists...he is awesome and a good teacher.
We really appreciate your music in Italy! What an amazing playeeeer!
One of the cleanest playing guitarist I've heard!
i wish someone like him would come to south africa that would be really cool
I am saying it now! come to America, I want to see you live!!
all this gear talk, this guy could make a stick and a whistle sound fucking awesome !
dude rules.....plz come to America brother!
It is 'Angel of Darkness' taken from his third self-titled solo album!
hey andy.... come to america and do some shows.... in st louis missouri
Andy, ive been watching you on youtube for like a year. COME TO AMERICA! YOU ARE LITERALLY A SICK ASS GUITARIST MAN! tear it up over here too, just metalheads are kinda not as common here, but your skill man will reach the masses for sure, a true force to be reckond with
I like Andy James. I like his playing and the way he carries himself. Glad he's doing what he loves! Wish I was talented enough lol.
I learned so much from Andy james ..
Awesome, Inspiring! Good to see a fellow Englishman doing well.
I would love to see Andy come to the US, I would definitely be there, and like one of the other comments said anyone in the US who's knows who Andy James is would kill to see him live.
This guy could use a guitar without pickups and it wouldn't make a difference. The speed he can play baffles me to my core
Not to mention that he keeps a good melodic core to his playing, and it isn't just nonsensical playing, like it is with so many shredders become.
Would love to see andy live!!!
SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS!!
My fav guitar player
next to John Petrucci 🔥
THIS GUY NEEDS MORE FANS BECAUSE HE IS JUST IMMENSE!
i wish this guy all the best.
I have connections with people at the Metrapark in Billings, MT, USA. Id love to see you come out!
come to Canada too!! you need to be more famous..
Come to Florida! Got some gigs for ya. Awesome!
"I use EMG's because I think they're the dog's bollocks."
I don't know if it was the British accent making it sound better, but I think that may be one of the greatest quotes ever spoken by anyone.
Andy is such a killer very much an 80 type Shrapnel Master. I amazed by such tasty technique that has a heart and feeling.
My favorite guitar shredder
For god's sake, get this man over to America!
Nobody asked for you guys to rate his guitar. Obviously his whole setup sounds amazing. Probably better than anything any of you have. Just cause it's a signature series doesn't mean it's special. Just means that's the style of guitar andy is endorsing. It's a good clean and powerful guitar. You can't argue that. It shows anytime he's playing on it.
We need you in America
Hes the best guitarist England has produced in the last 20 years...
Ever heard of Guthrie Govan? Rick Graham? Tom Quayle?
someone plz get this guy on a tour in the states PLEASE!!!!!
I was 25 when I started so you have a head start on me!!!
Come to Canada Andy!!
Great production!
I AM SO GOING TO BUY THAT
I agree ... this guy is awesome on the guitar
I had a little chat with ESP guitars themselves and asked for the same thing. Andy talks about a signature here, but it's a custom shop model and not available to public people like you and me ;) But ESP also mentioned that it's possible that this guitar could become a signature series one day ... let's hope the best ^^
I have three guitars with EMGs, love them all...looking for a guitar with passive PUPs but definitely not at the expense with one of my guitars with EMGs!!!!!
u need to come to michigan!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Andy, you should do some shows over here.
Im a big fan of an 85 in the bridge
when i had a H-401 i swapped the 85 and the 81
but i wanted a H series thats just matte black as more of a workhorse guitar so im not afraid to ding it
Andy is just too cool.
He's the king of whatever you call playing guitar.
EMG, did he play other songs than the one you already uploaded? If yes, we wanna see that too, huh?^^ ;) Please?^^
Hey Andy. Why don't you come over and do some shows?
I was talking to Andy a few weeks ago and ESP will be unveiling it at a soon event as his signature guitar
but he couldn't say what the specs were like the type of wood etc.
i dont know if that is true, but it really maikes me buy a set of EMGs THAT GUY IS AWESOME!
Yeah nobody wants Andy to play in the US. He is a beast. Im starting a starter fund to fly him hear. Lol. There is always August in Huntington NY. I will see you there Andy...
so fucking clean!!! im so jealous!
Andy, why don't you come over and play some shows? Someone fund this man.
The model of guitar he uses is the esp h series. :)
hey, why dont you come over and do some shows?
yeah definetly he needs to do a set on g3 tour!
Best guitarist in the world!!
fuaaaaaaaaaark Andy I'd love you to travel the globe so good and inspirational
Andy needs to do G3
I personally love EMG's and I agree with Andy when he says that they are the "Dogs' Bullocks"
Guthrie isn't really shred but he's awesome. You should check out the jazz guitarist Alan Holdsworth, he's an english dude whos often noted by guitarists as being one of the best soloists in the world. I don't think location has much to do with it though.
what song is he playing? its amazing
Why don't you come over and do some shows???!!!!!
THAT ENGL STACK!
I'm practicing right now ;)
no record sounds the same. clarity is what lets you hear full chords and dynamics in playing. what comes with it is that more stuff comes from your guitar, like unwanted notes, so you need better technique to keep the playing clean
Well why don't you come over and do some shows?
dude that would be awesome ;] andy james + jeff loomis + steve vai
not saying all germans. just you. btw i like how your country make Schaller hardware for guitars. good quality. and you were once a youth too man, dont you have a job then just replying to my comment all the time ?
Not out yet man :'(
That's a sick LTD he's playing.
andy siriously u r my best
if you come to america go to a little place called cains ballroom or the marquee in tulsa oklahoma
If you take the best players gilbert, bonamassa, malmsteeb, becker, govan and roll them in one u have Andy James.
1:23
a solo from a track, who knows?
He actually just improvised that lol. It's not on the album version.
i need this back track
Siarhei Liandri the back track is from angel of darkness, man. that scale run is improvised.
@mc2alfawolf I got a job to buy my first guitar. I didn't get it on my birthday lol. My parents shivered at the thought of me getting a guitar without lessons. But I started out without an amp so they were cool with it lol
Loomis is in Europe U.S. needs Andy.
Hope they´ll put the Angel Of Darkness video out too!
Wanna come to America? DO IT!!! lol
esp like he said in the video
I don't understand why he says switching to actives made him better as passives masked any mistakes. I've found the opposite. I used actives for years, switched to passives and found myself having to play a lot cleaner as my passives wouldn't have as much gain as much 81/85 setup did.
Adam Monaghan What? The fact that actives have more gain is precisely WHY you're forced to clean up your technique - because the gain highlights your mistakes, makes them ring out. You have to play extremely clean when there's a ton of gain or else it'll sound like a mess
haha cheers man XD we both got some catching up to do then haha
Who are his influences?
+Yisus Zakk Wylde, Guns n' Roses, lol
Eduardo Solórzano lmao!!
Yisus
He plays like john petrucci...maybe one of his influences.
Does look a lot like one. He says at about 1 minute in it's an ESP though.
i agree the newer body styles been lookin a lil schectish
i always imagine the best shred dudes are always american but england has guthrie and now this guy
hey andy why don't you come to mexico and do a show with a uncle that might be just as good of a player it would be awesome
What's the name of the guitar?!
Someone tell meh! D'X
hahaha "dogs bollocks" this guy is fucking awesome
Hi i'm andy james. I use emg pickups because i think they're dogs bollocks. LOL
well, there's LTD on the headstock, so that's obviously an ESP not a schecter :P i love me some schecter though :P
not an EMG fanboy. I actually prefer BareKnuckle and Seymour Duncan. I just don't like when people bash artists without solid arguments
that headstock should be on all h models
Nonono, I got an LTD and tried many ^^ but I thought it was an LTD custom, but it's his signature first prototype.
tell me. why does nearly each record sound the same? clarity? but what comes with clarity? tell me :)
yeah im the FRIST AND IM STONED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he switched to Laney Amps now!!!
people always get their first guitar on their birthday, always!
engl amps + 100 bucks acoustic with shitty piezo pickups = still brutal tone. no kidding!
his signature model looks like a schecter blackjack
i actually thought he was going to say "hi, i'm Andy James, and i'm a morman."
