Guitar Shredding - Andy James - Solo 3/3 

Towards the end at around 3:50...that was like peak of perfect guitar playing, so much passion, technique, soul, beauty. Absolutely incredible playing.

I could listen to this every day. Its relaxing and badass all in one. AWESOME

VERY good and tasteful playing. I have been checking out all of his videos and his performances are just amazing. Notes he hits are right on the nuggets! Even the fast shredding is very clean. Now I am going in my backyard to make firewood out of my guitars.

I had the privilege of seeing Andy James shred at NAMM this year in the LTD booth!! He is slowly becoming my favorite guitarist!!!

it´s unbelievable how perfect andy plays this and also it´s unbelievable that only 28000 people watched this in 2 years

Yep, I think my heart just stopped, started again, then stoppen once more,only to be revived by the awesomeness of this man!

from note to note into my soul..... Great what a phrasing!!! Yeah man Andy James rules! Now I'm definetly I'm a big fan of him.... Great Greater Andy James!!!

Very, very nice! He has a great sense of melody. This was an awesome jam. Thanks for sharing. :)

This is just magical. I love this solo. When i first heard it, i started to melt. And i love the part when he goes Into the rock chords in the beginning. Carry on brother!

Why is no one commenting on how beautiful this sounds......the first 4 seconds alone gave me goosebumps.

Wow, never thought I would say this because Guthrie is my favorite. Andy James sounds like a slightly heavier version of Guthrie Govan....... Thats impressive as hell.

i dont know why. this video give me a lot of inspiration !!! ahhh play so emotional,melodic ahh it's perfect

when in bad mood, i come here to listen to your smooth playin'!

ive listend to andy forever but never heard this song somehow, it is now one of my fav songs of all time had to listen to it about 7 times ina row before i felt ok going onto the next song :)

This song makes me relax and let me cut off the rush from the reality damn good job dude

I swear this guy will be hell famous one day. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL COMPOSITION! sounds alot like john petrucci! awesome!

Someone must have hit the dislike button by mistake... Seriously, this is the most beautiful song I have ever heard in my entire life.

it's just so beautiful.

This is the second time a music piece could almost make me cry.

Beautiful !

this is shine on through i believe!! so epic

Perfect love that tone!!

so perfect ! master !

possibly my favourite solo guitarist :)

Omfg ! Andy you just my fav guitarist ! I love your style ! So fucking good !

It is from his album wake of choas, the song is called shine on through. All his albums are AMAZING!

@AbnormallyOriginal Octaves and Slides, very similar in style to Per Nilsson's use of the sound - Awesome :D Amazing solo/piece, some of those bends give you the chills.

Very well done solo.

This solo hear so beautiful ! :')

Thumbs up for the link to that awesome backing track!

I have this DVD, I only noticed after buying it that the guy is holding a 7 string guitar. Good thing he only uses it (mostly) for the rhythm and I bought the DVD for learning to shred. Very good DVD btw ! and great song!

i like the first solo the most but the others are great as well. keep on soloing :p

@palmer3311210 It is, it is called shine on through, I think its from his in the wake of chaos cd

This song is called "Shine on Through" and its on his album "in the the wake of Chaos" which is amazing

@NickyTong: that's a hairband, to prevent strings from unecessary vibration. Useful for players that are into tapping and legato. ^_^

All i can say is RESPECT !!

The song is 'shine on through' off his 'in the wake of chaos' album :) By far one his best songs! Along with 'Devil's day' of course :)

I really like the part at 3:55 - 4:02, sick sweep that sounds so f-ing epic. and yeah he really sounds like petrucci in this one

this is...oh god the best....

tienes la primera?? esq ya vi los dos ultimos pero el uno no lo encuentro seria re chevere verlo :)

I could die happy if I ever got this good on guitar.

This song kinda reminds me of Cabal Online. I always get goosebumps while listening to this.

Is there anywhere i can download this tune in HD? damn im loving it sooooo bad!

Guitar Pro for this please!?

Very cool.

the chorus on this song is fucking amazing

he is amazing......

LOVE IT

omg. eargasm!!!! fucking great solo...i wish i could play like that ):

@jeffsond Well, what great guitarist wouldent like to have some satchy feels in their songs? ;)

Andy James is a fucking guitar god !!! awesome song!!!

Does anyone know where I can download this song? I really like it!!

he's gifted

@killbro1 that simple response made me laugh so hard.

Nickelbak's "photograph" with an amazing lead guitar eheh

this is simply amazing, can someone please tell me what key this is in an what scale he is using, id love to learn this an improvise over it as well!

Thanks man :)

Could someone tell me the point in having a hair bobbin on the nut ?? .. i have been curious about that for a long time

he has so much of lydian into his soloing... that makes is good to listen

finally a guitarist that is comparable to john petrucci:) though i'll stay in the petrucci line Nice solo

@combobommen He's concentrating so hard that you could bounce a soccerball off his head and ask him about it later, and he'd say, "what soccerball?"

@vendetta745 He has 3 albums available on itunes, this is from the album in the wake of choas, i think it is called. Buy all his albums they are outstanding =)

@axbxc01 It's called "Shine on Through". This Lick library DVD should teach you how to play the song.

this is great.... sounds like a Vai song.

can anoyone tell me if the extra string on that guitar is another thicker one or a really thin one?

wow this song is sexc as hell ur the man andy by the way where can i get this backing track

@memberofslash Exactly. +1. It doesn't sounds like Vai, Petrucci or someone else. It sounds like Andy James.

@classicrock923 A Music Man John Petrucci 7-string, in Mystic Dream finish. With piezo

the melody that starts at 1:50 is epic.

@SamuelWelshans very cheesy but that's what it is. thanks for sharing, brother

Does anybody have a tab of this solo ? I really NEEEED to play this !

@flandrian15 i just bought the shred in 6 weeks. is this video from those dvds???

@Dimitribujiashvili I Think He Uses The Leftover Spaghetti From The Last Supper. And His Pick Is Made Of The First RainDrop To Ever Hit This Earth... ;D

@mistermiusikasdasd check out his band if you haven't already its called sacred mother tongue

@dashfront21 I have been playing for 10 years now. buy it on ebay its much cheaper! i got it for 80 bucks all 6 of em... the dvd has helped me with my technique i am working on week 1 and little by little can play the zack wylde licks. be patient practice 1 hour several times a week and youll get it.

The part ( 3/3 ) I prefer ! 2/3 is very bad, too much shred ! Excellent playing Andy ! Keep it up !

that lick from 3.55-4.04 is mental! how do you come up with something like that!?

Andy james makes me want to never lay my guitar down

HE IS AWESOME Ya know

I like ur skill plzz can u tell me where do u live?

@MrRandomshite couple questions, how many years have u been playing? and is the dvd helpful to you? i'm considering buying it, but its pretty costly is why i'm asking

Andy James - shine on through @itunes

@Overture2152 I would guess Extreme Metal Soloing Volume 1

i love it but i dont know the name of the song.....whats the name?

Good fucking god I need to learn to do that O_o. what is this off of? Does he show how to play his songs?

noice noice nooice

where can i find mp3s of his instrumental solos?

i really liked the part at 0:00-6:04

@Alixman984 What's that got to do with anything dude?

4:15 to 4:22 !!! It's so andy timmons vibe :P

@egeseatr35 I didn't find it :(

i bet you people don't dare to ask if he could make a smoke on the water cover =D his playing is awesome, I wonder, how old is he.... ?

you are very guitar pro...

in this his sound and the way he plays sounds alot like per nilsson of scar symmetry

please say this is a song he has.... and if it is whats the name

when you listen to this you cant help but feel sad for him because hes not uber famous

whats the name of this song??

His tone was way better than today with these emgs :( Less compressed, more natural... etc !

@ksqjdfghklqz "Shine on Through", from his "In The Wake of Chaos" album

Andy James is technicians, but thinks that I do not lose a soul.
