Andy James plays 'In The Fading Light' on EMGtv

It's been almost a year since Andy James has been to our studio. Now he's back playing his 7 String guitar with EMG 57 -7H and 66-7H humbucker pickups. Andy performs his new track, "In The Fading Light" for EMGtv.

Being technical and melodic is what it is supposed to be....a true virtuoso

[bnotapplicable]

So many yrs later and this is STILL my favorite song ever... A testament to what kind of music is timeless

[AkiraSpectrum]

Andy James NEVER disappoints. I'm always impressed by his work. Emotional, melodic, and heavy.

[used]

the harmony during the chorus is out of this world

[Angelskilldevils]

What I love most, is not even the technical aspects of his playing, it's the fact that he puts so much emotion into his music. Respectable.

Hands down one of the best shredders on the planet! Andy James takes playing the instrument to a whole new level. His technique and vibrato is unlike anything I've ever heard. This is a Andy at his very best, mixing arpeggios with melodic runs it's just pure genius..

11 years later, i find myself in the same mood, and i need the same music

[gibsondanny]

That hook in the chorus is so fucking catchy.... Hes such a phenomenal writer and player

[dariushorton]

Man!!...I love the sound of a guitar but seeing how it's actually done to deliver the quality of sound that we want to hear...pure talent, years of practice...even himself is still learning...this man among others are a God send...this man is really good at what he does...

[strykervet]

This song proves Andy doesn't have to shred through an entire song and still make it so interesting that it grabs your attention from the start and doesn't let go. You can't teach that, you have to have the golden ear to write like this. Definitely a welcome inspiration when one was lacking.

[Shedblood]

His balance between melody and metal is astonishing.One of the many reason that I really admire him.

[roiot]

That one bend in the refrain.. man thats so fuckin awesome. for example 1:36 ..
andy is one of the guitarists who doesnt really try to get all his skills in every part, he work with harmony and the real fact of music. i love it, nobody can deny putting andy james to the top of guitarists, next to the old godfathers and the "newcomers" like Synyster Gates. I love his music, it opens me more than anything else.

[PIERS]

I can really feel the soul behind this track! Great Work Andy!

[aerotheproto]

That finger-tapping arpeggio gets me every time, with the driving riff in the background, makes me fucking happy.

[rhonda-leeturpin]

I've been playing for close to feckin 17 years and I still will never be as good as the James man....bloody hero!

[wipeutpuls]

Amazing writing, amazing playing..all that without a massive pedal board...Andy James is one of the absolute best...
I never listen to instrumentals..but the stuff this guy writes...are an easy listen...

[ericstandefer]

Don't be overwhelmed by him. Use him as a model to shoot for. One step at a time we can get close. Break it down: scales with fast alternate picking (can do), arpeggios (can do), finger tapping (can do), legato slurs (can do), perfect string bending (listen carefully, develop the ear), great tone (good equipment), great guitar, love, dedication, hours and hours of devotion; step by step, one step at a time. move a step closer each time you practice. It is there for the asking. God Bless.

It’s been a few years since I last listened to this excellent song! Now, in 2024 I’m listening to it again!

[matthewwhite]

This has been one of my favorites since I heard it. I got the chance to pass it on to a brother and it changed him too. 🍻 Andy!!

[jeffdyrland]
