Incredible guitar playing, Andy James, Angel Of Darkness on EMGtv 

Love your work mr.Rolland

Tu também é mestre!

SomethinWild somebody who gets it. I salute you sir.

whats the comparison anyways😑, he's so damn good.

SomethinWild bro, i love the three guys you mentioned and i listened to all of them many many years before i fell upon andy, but this guy is strait up a monster. His lick and pattern choices are stupid awesome haha.

A jack of all trades 💪

A jack of all trades 💪

jcruz04 beside years. You need to born with the rarest gift creativity to make amazing melodies and sounds

creativity is also something that can be learned

Giiggle Agree but im talking about native creativity not the one you learn or stealth

I would put it this way, you can learn to be more creativy simple by listening to lots of different music and studying it, but to some people that "out of the box" thinking comes more natural, and they have a way of writing that reflects their personality, which can't be replicated by others

Giiggle That's my point with a more literary vocabulary

go to his website and buy the song I think the tabs are there too. Then you don't have to look on his hands.

bloodbrothers12345 He's a good player. I want to look at his hands.

responsibleparty Yes he's a good player. And thats why he want your money. Not your eyes sucking on his fingers^^

bloodbrothers12345 ??? Last time I checked, this was RU-vid. That is, a video site.That is, a website where you can post video of something people might find interesting. So now I'm sucking on his fingers? What the fuck's wrong with you?

responsibleparty wtf is wrong with you. this guy spend his whole life to play guitar and make some new songs and stuff like that. He is not your bitch!!! He make great vids here on RU-vid if you want to learn a song PAY HIM!!! ..... like the character in the game Payday the heist says "everyone needs a payday"

I agree:]]

jjajajajjajajaja maybe ivar too......

there aren´t any because his playing has more balls than a gay porn

No.

bad ass run,but i can pick runs that are amazing from this guy from every solo he has ever done,he is top 3(maybe 2 or #1) in the world for complete and total domination of metal guitar.he kills at every riff,solo,rhythm,note he is fucking amazing,period check out the wicked run at 3:33

wayne smith he and who else? Obviously Petrucci has to be there... right?

carlos sammet yes,he is a god among progressive metal guitarists

Nice, who else would you say belongs to that privilege position along with Petrucci and Andy James?

Not sure Id say Andy's style is more distinct than Loomis's, but both are in my top 3 modern players list.

andy james is influenced by John petrucci , I can see a younger petrucci playing guitar on this video

LOL!!!...EMG=Evil Metal Guitarist!...LOL!

Extraordinary Musical Genius

CoproManiac Epic magnificent Geniuses

Enter Me George...

Electric Magnetic Goodness!

for the realm of shredding that is. there's still jazz, classical and other forms.

i find dark matter by rusty cooley to be much more challenging to play than this song.

I'm quite sure guitar has no Bounds. If it takes inventing a style that only you can play then do it. If not for that you wouldnt even see a solo like that cause no one in their right minds 100 years ago would say " Hey lets try this " And start shredding like a bitch . Feel me?

Cole Ohanian Yup, the ultimate guitarist would be able to play everything thats possible.

caponi14 2 words: John Petrucci

he is 34 years old

You're not asking. A question ends with a question mark, not a period.

+TruthSurge Yes, just not often.

Alex Wright I get that the bridge helps you sound cleaner (for some reason) but I just almost always saw him using the neck pu. I did see him do Black Star and that was some bridge pu in there. He's a good guitarist.

+TruthSurge at 2:26 you can see him switch to the bridge. Not sure if he does this any other times

ezekeil33 just seemed he used the neck pu 95% of the time. Maybe not for the rhythms as much but for solos, melodies.

+TruthSurge Yea, I suppose he just likes the rounder sound of the neck for that kinda stuff. Who knows, ill ask him next time i see him xD

It's just another bend

Connor Deal You're just another bend!

I do bend a lot seeing ad I play everyday but it's nothing special

You mean that normal 1 step bend? :)

LOL i feel ya brotha.. after watching this i feel so amateur after playing 18 yrs.

3:33 its MAXIMUM TIME!

Lol, I guess it goes by what type of music you listen to and how often you practice. I can play this song and I've only been playing guitar for like 2 years. I practice literally everyday for 8 hours.

good for you.

Francesco R. i am with you

+bob marley look man everyone's got their own opinion now look I'm into all sorts such as zz top,Hendrix,Guns n Roses hell even Slipknot (big time maggot) but as much as I like this guys skill I still got to admit that it is boring I know this seems dumb but I've seen it all before Satriani saw him live, great player yet i was bored the entire show probably because I think sweeping is boring but still none of his songs had lyrics and I think it's OK to have an occasional instrumental but to have all you're songs instrumentals then you'll find your style will get stale pretty quick

Rory Carey I know right?

Rory Carey ..hey.. it's really no problem...it's ok..all the things you don't like about it,are the the things we like the best..so you don't have torture yourself listening to it..we'll take care of it....if you don't mind ...thanks..by way..you can keep those vocals too..we don't need 'em....we're sick of 'em..that's why we listen to instrumental music.....(and watch RU-vid)....and I go back way before Guns and Roses... lol..\m/

@@rorycarey2553 Wait... you're saying you saw Satriani live but didn't like it because you don't like sweeping? I think you never saw Satrianilive as he doesn't sweep pick much and is more focused on melodic lines, tapping and bends.

@@MeshuggahFan-iy6tb I don't agree with you. Listen to Andrey Korolev he is faster and more technical and versatile than Andy James but Andrey composes music that has a soul.

Loled so hard.

No, he cant.

Thank god he can't! Lol!

That's a stretch man lil Wayne's the greatest guitarist this world had ever saw. You saw how he was playing that guitar without an amp on top of the limo. Hes got skillz. Lil Wayne and his guitar for president 2016.

IrokoSalei I guess he can't, too much for him. Lil Wayne is the greatest guitarist in the world :D

😂😂😂

Haha when people ask me that question after showing them my guitar hahah (face palm)

the anthem for guitarist.

Fyre Hawk nope lol

Gold star for being the 5000th commenter to submit that 'funny' zinger.

people happen to stumble upon videos too its not like everyone that doesn't like an artist is a troll dude, not saying that i don't like this guy though

It's not there type of music.... fair enough.... but god damn andy is a god

Alex Shcherbakov It's not there type but there's no reason to dislike on this page, just change the video but he's a God playing guitar, doesn't matter if you like or not, it's simply amazing how he plays

Carlos Moreno Exactly.

these haters are the ones who are skinhead and started to play guitar :)

OmnipresentPlatipus fuck u. dumbass can u evem play happybirthday ?? bitch

@OmnipresentPlatipus are you kidding ? or you know anything about it ?

why so butthurt? do you even know humour? and Anish the bitch I can play happy fucking birthday, thank you.

OmnipresentPlatipus sorry...

Just Listen to BURT WEEDON, he makes Andy James look like a Schoolboy

Metallica is my favorite band of all time, and you sir are absolutely correct

Hahahahahahahahaha

EMG's needs to have the 9V changed about every 2000 hours. Some change it more often. 2 best ways to tell in my experience are to either A) Use a battery tester about every 6 months or so (depending if you gig or just practice), or B) Listen to your sound. They will start to lose tone and gain with a dying battery. I usually replace all mine once a year when I do my setup in the spring after the weather gets warm again.

how old are you now?

I have 22 now :'( hahaha, I play songs like fermented offal discharge (necrophagist), I knew the solo but it was stressful because I practiced and practiced it but I could never can play it fluidly :/ so, there is my guitar, lying on the music stand xd when I was child, I always dreamed to be a great guitarrist, but no... I can't, I cant proceed...

+Andres Contreras i started when i was 15, too... i am only 17 now tho :D the hardest solo i can play is from "follow the reaper", but i always have to be totally warmed up to play fast :/ i guess we just have to keep practicing ;) keep it up man, you don't play bad, i saw your video

Thanks man, your words give me so hope hahaha, well, you're right, practice makes a master, and we must be so patient in this path :/ good luck for you, you are younger than me hahaha you have more time!

Andres Contreras Play all day long, as long as it takes.. and try to learn as much as you can. In order to become great in something, you have to be totally obsessed with it ;)

+Evolutionz lmao damn

that's it? this was enough for you? smh

You not enjoying his music, and his talent are two completely different things. I enjoyed your uploads though.

Kameron WilliamsI do not to like to sound like an asshole, this guy has an ability that is beyond incredible. I was just putting my point of view that It is impossible for me to listen more than 2 songs of the guy. He has an incredible technic,despite his little finger being short and kind of crooked.

No he doesn't. You know nothing. Seperation sounds completely different and so do a ton of other of his songs

Tyler J Well, I am a classical musician so I do know what I'm talking about. This guy is horible as far as music is concerned. And my oppinion is my oppinion and it is not opoen to dicussion. There are many other guitar freaks that are better than him, becuase they have the technic and the ability to do music.

Well you're a classic musicians so keep to classic music then. This style is way different. That's like Jimmy Hendrix talking about Andy it's two whole different things.
