Andy James at the ESP Guitars booth - NAMM 2011 

I go back to this upload every few months.Thank you Andy James for showing us what can be achieved on this lump of wood, even if I'll never be able to do it.

one of the most underated players out there. He can hang with the best and exceeds most of them. Awesome schred and very melodic to keep the listener interested!!

NAMM has to be the best place on earth where else you could watch Andy James, George Lynch and Alexi Laiho play, in just one morning? I have a new dream.

This is incredible, Andy keeps getting better and better. insane

The final bend at 1:54 to finish the run just before the tapping still gives me chills in this melody. Again at 5:26.

Thanks for uploading! Always incredible to see this guy play, one of the best!

You never disappoint Mr. James. Will be purchasing this album like the others!

Definately one of the top guitarists of today very underated. Stunning !!

To anyone who doesn't know, you can get Andy James' solo albums off iTunes (there are two LPs and EP), and he plays guitar for the British metal band Sacred Mother Tongue.

Andy plays the music I ever dreamed off... Amazing song

He has such a great sound!

ive been saying it for over a year now, Andy is the best in the world period!!

jesus christ he's a monster. i loved the comments and "ohs!!' and "ahs!" from the dudes in the audience. he floors people with his playing

gotta say i think andy is my favourite guitarist atm

Thanks for sharing... Killer guitar player..

amazing song.

he's such a great player

Guys I am a personal friend of Andy's.He is a great guy as well as guitarist. My friends at ESP have endorsed him.Trust me you will be seeing alot more of Andy

Go Andy! ... The UK is proud of ya :)

wow ! Amazing ..!!!!

He is the real Deal! best I have seen in a while! No Bullshit Notes! 100% Real Guitar Playing!

@winrar wow SO humble at the end too, guy's THE MAN

This song is war march by andy james, listen to the actual recording it also sounds amazing!

When Andy James gets in his god mood , heads start to explode .... \m/

that was pretty sick, and very catchy too

Best metal guitarist on the planet today, and such a cool guy too.

Andy James = pure win

I heard someone say "I'm gunna cry" ...I might have cried to if I saw this in person. I watched another video where Andy said he wasnt comfortable with the 7 string yet cuz of the wide neck? ...I would say he adjusted well. very metal and very good!

god i would love to see a guitar duel with andy james , gus g, and marty friedman !!

@1wingedangelff7 it's just tapping, but with the hand over the fretboard like that you can damp out dead notes with the fleshy side of the left hand

I think he's playing "War March"... It's not on one of his albums though

thats tghe best tapping ive ever heard

Best guitarist on the planet right now for sure!!!......\m/\m/

ESP and Music Man should made one signature guitar for Andy James.

fok i luv this guy..what is the songs name?..one of his solo album tracks?

does anyone know what technique he's using at 2:10? like, what is it called?

@youngcristian "War March" from Andy's upcoming CD. Sometime in July.

Saw this guy at I think it was Music Live a few years back. Fucking insane.

@never2loud2008 keep an eye out for this guy? .........im keeping three eyes on Andy James......FUCK YEA!

haha everybodys talkin about you commenting during the video i thought you did a good job holding back, i would have been like "YEEEAAAA" every fuckin 5 secs! ha thanks for posting man good quality too!

whats the name of this song?

@Loublake95 u said one of

at 2..23, is that the american tourist of Harry and Paul going 'What a guy'?

CRIKEY!!!

Fucking Amazing......you are the best

@Loublake95 I think you forgot Guthrie Govan

lol, did somebody say "I'm gonna cry" at 2:23?

i tought that signal noise was from my phone XD lol

haha did that guy say "crikey" after that crazy tapping at 1:30

someones phone coming 0:50

I would really like to tell the dude randomly commenting in this to shut the heck up and let me listen to Andy James go to work. But I cant blame the guy, I couldnt help but comment on it like "holy shit.. that was amazing". Andy is one fucking God.

@never2loud2008 all good man it adds to the WOWage haha.

@alterbridge111 Cheers man!! got a few new vids up if you want to check em out!!

@never2loud2008 Yeah Ill agree with you, obviously both monster players but I have seen both guys live, and andy does smoke him, in fact andy smokes just about everyone. Even guys like rusty cooley, the lines andy plays are just unreal, Im lucky in that my ex teacher is friends with andy and I get to hear a few things before most, and believe me, his new album is gonna be insane!!

@youngcristian "War March"

@lazycrazybastard oh, whats the name of this song?

You forgot Marty Friedman.

I thought that those comments were great :)

@Loublake95 you probably are missing the word "metal" on your comment "one of the best ____ guitarist on earth".... I doubt he's the BEST... but he's great at what he does...

Whoever disliked this is a fanny pack, and should be punched in the face with a hot fire poker. A.J. is a beast, doan be jealous.

he should professionally record this!

@7ibanez7 Dont you hate that you have to justify your comments on youtube?

oh my (shits pants) a god
