The only reason I'm posting this here is at one time he was using MM guitars exclusively and he is an AMAZING, AMAZING player! I'm so excited! I will post photos and video tonight.

He's doing a workshop at guitar center tonight at 7PM in LA. I'm driving over an hour to go see him!

:)
 
Andy James is an amazing player for sure. Loved his instructional videos with the JPs he was using. My favorite one was the solo in the style of Steve Vai. So freaking amazing. Enjoy the clinic man.
 
You lucky bum - Andy James is an amazing Lick Library player.

He's my second favorite...Jamie Humphries is my #1 - he brought me back to the ebmm fold after several years without one. I watched his videos with an Axis and I thought, "Gee, why did I ever get rid of my old Axis?"...

He's probably my second favorite guitarist next to Petrucci. He can play and sound like anyone! Petrucci, Vai, Satriani, etc!
I hope he can help me with my technique. I was thinking about asking if I could see the size and shape of his hand and then compare it up to mine just so I can have a better understanding of how he plays but then I think he might think that's a bit odd.

Please don't ask him that...he'll think you're a stalker for sure!
 
Andy is one of the greats, technique is flawless and he is so incredibly capable in so many different areas. Dude is a beast of a player.
 
It does not have much to do with hand size...believe me. It's all about adapting to the instrument and honing in on your technique with your hands and modifying your playing to what is most comfortable and efficient way of playing whatever it is you need to play.

That was thorough lol. Thank you for the insight/advice. :)
 
Wow what an incredible guy! Hung out with him for a few minuets after everyone cleared out. Ill post pictures and videos when I get home.


He is a beast!
 
I decided it'd be better to invite you guys to just add me on Facebook or follow my Instagram if you would like to see the photos I took last night instead of posting a competetors stuff here. Out of respect.
