'Every Guitar Hero Needs a Ballad'.
That is what our co-founder Jan Cyrka said when we decided to create our first ever JTC original full length album. Vai, Satriani, you name them...they have one!
So we spoke to a number of the artists on our glittering roster and asked them to compose their ultimate ballad. The result is a powerful album that is full of pure emotion and drive and takes you on a journey through the minds of 11 incredibly talented guitar players and composers.
Starting with Andy James' 'The Wind That Shakes The Heart' (which was written by Jan Cyrka and James Graydon) the emotion sucks you in from the first note, just as you would expect from a brilliant ballad track. The scene is then set and from there, all 11 JTC artists continue the same trend with their own individual take on the ultimate ballad.
Any album that has brand new original tracks from the likes of Guthrie Govan, Alex Hutchings, Marco Sfogli, Jack Thammarat and more should be in any guitar players collection, there is no questioning that. However, we have gone the extra mile and provided you with 3 options!
1 - Just the album
2 - Just the backings, complete with full transcriptions and 5 bonus videos (Andy James, Jack Thammarat, Marco Sfogli, Feodor Dosumov and Al Joseph)
3 - The Deluxe edition, which contains all of the above!
4 - Physical CD
So, are you ready for over 50 minutes of ultimate ballads?

You touch my heart young man. My 25 year old son passed away August 3rd from a heroin overdose ..I've been listening to your song.. this song,,,he was learning to play guitar... I played for years...so he wanted to learn so we could play together.. come to find out this song was playing on his phone when he died. I guess there's no point in telling you this...just needed to tell someone about my boy today
Sorry to hear that :'-(
@MrXelium I'm making it...I think...thank you for asking
@@stricken667 sorry for that man
@@kareemosama2543 Thank you, our first Christmas without him was rough, thank you for your empathy
I'm sorry to hear that :(
I conceived my first child to this song. I will name him Andy. He better fucking learn guitar.
Best comment I've ever read hands down.
dude xd
Kyle Butler Turns out cock sucking is an important skill. Think how great the worlld would be if all women had good head as top priority! World Peace!!!
world peace and quiet you mean lol
***** Come on who is serious here. My wife would never let this music run in the background anyways lol.
Andy James doesn't just "play a guitar", he tells a story, and takes you on an amazing journey, through the magic of his skills.
Exactly. Whether by just listening or watching, we get 2 different stories. Both amazing!
If u want heard best ever guitar story just goin to Bucketheadland
@@NoiseHunter-ux9vm согласен. Не ожидал увидеть тут такое
yes yes yes yes
When I used to play the guitar, I always tried to follow the tunes you made as my inspiration...but after I lost my fingers and couldn't play the guitar, now I can only look at your performance, success always...greetings from friend Andy at Indonesia❤❤❤
Im crying out loud as i listen to this...you just made me realize how much i love a person that i coudnt have....that we are in diff world🥺🥺😢😢
A solid slap in the face to anyone who says Andy's playing is just technical monotonous shredding and has no feel. Kudos
Andy James, mastering all guitar style
Even words can't explain how i feel inside 🙏🏾 🤗 🎸
I think this man is the next Gary Moore Generation, unstoppable with the music line, performance and the feeling!!!
Andy Gemas playing the backing track Guitar solo is amazing 😎🤘 wow 👂🎸❤️
I will be walking down the aisle to this song on my wedding day. I couldn’t picture any other song, it brings out so many emotions it’s breathtaking and absolutely beautiful.
I cried to this, I remember my dog. It felt like that the music itself is talking to you. This is beautiful.
My tutor. I learned literally everything I know off Andy James. Best guitarist in the world
One of my favorite Guitar Player
Coming back to this three years later and it’s still one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
Pure class! A big shout out for Andy
This… is love .. on strings. Forever in my heart.❤️
Kills me .. ❤
This comes from within. A mixture of sadness and joy that can only be from personal experience. You can't invent this sort of emotion. Truly beautiful.
This is how to play a melodic solo from start to finish! Its a masterpiece! The phrasing is just perfect!
This isn't music to the hears. It's music to the soul. Loved watching the spider dance on the wires and build a beautiful story. It tells the story of solitude and the relation one man can express from his soul to another. Well done Andy.
Music has been always my drug to fight depression ..... I used to listeN to your music man since I left Iraq and on my journey towards Europe man ,,,,, thank you for this song I listened to it almost everyday and it made me always happy you are an inspiration
Zaid khalid mahmood but did u get oil in iraq?
I prefer cocaine
Music is a drug for me because no matter how much I try I can’t leave it
One of Andy’s finest song’s really sings out meaningful. I wounder what Andy was thinking when we make this 🤔 Just shows he can put a lot of soul into his playing one of the best players in modern times
So beautiful, melodic, & smooth! I'd never heard of Andy James til now, & I'll not forget him! Go Andy! Wow! Thanks to whomever uploaded this! What a blessing!🤟😎💜🌍
His Tonal control is unworldly and it only gets better! Only a few are in his class.
Andy, much respect. Never fails to play with emotion and bring the listener's emotions with him. I still remember his days with the Blackstar amps.
Guitar music is an art - I'm glad Andy and others keep the art of guitar front and center offering up new ideas and views. As I read all the comments, the art of guitar is not a competition as each artist paints his own - we shouldn't feel bad if we personally cannot replicate what he does, suggest other artist are better, nor bash him for a single video out of many he contributes. Thanks Andy for all you do, I appreciate it!
Rick Rabjohn well said sir.
aydol kits akato si johann
The single best comment of guitartube sir.
Agreed! Music in and of itself is simply empathic expression. What you feel is what you play. Andy James knows how to externalize his feelings into his instrument. So many people in this world could benefit from learning to play an instrument and using it as an outlet. Beautiful little ballad here!
so well said
JTC definitely has some of the best guitarists on the planet.
The composition, the melody, The Guitar playing and the emotional burst of feelings... Makes you speechless and makes you wanna say one word... WOW
This made my cry. Absolutely beautiful.
Tears,tears,tears...this track just give me tears, of joy.
You mean “the song that BREAKS the heart”... this track is brutal in all the right ways! Thank you, Uncle Andy!
Easily one of the best solos EVER!!!
if I feel either alone or happy, this is something can provide me Oxygen to breath in any situation.... Andy.. you are my idol and God of music... love u sir from India
The titles to these songs man.....a true invitation to an art of passion!
The last time I came here was seven years ago. This is just an amazing piece of music and played to perfection. Brings a tear to my eye.
I've been watching this for five years 😍😍
Those simple drums beats are enhancing the whole music.
The bass guitar too
U need a drum and bass background..if you're writing mucic u can never be faster then the drummer in solos or in any music writing or live you're drummer and bass better be able to keep up with you...lol
I had a thought on a possible cool project for you guys, I think it would cool to say, take 1 single rock or ballad backing track, and get different guys to play there versions and styles over the track, so you have guthrie, andy james, josh smith, alex hutchings all playing there own take over a single 'track'. would be awesome to compare mindsets and licks etc, could sell it like an small album..
It's a good idea! We did do something similar a while back called the JTC Mega Jam. You can get this at the site plus the video is on KZhead. Maybe we can revisit doing more!
Jamtrackcentral.com that would be amazing! just think how that would turn out if each of them knew nothing about what the others were doing. Not a jam because it would mean they would feed off one another and there are already many jams circulating about. But! Completely separate approaches in their own special way over the same backing track. I'd buy it for sure.
Jamtrackcentral.com You could also do a similar idea but with unknown guitarists, and have it as a competition or something to get featured on your channel. Allow lesser known guitarists to download a track, jam to it and send it to you, then edit it as you see fit, including clips from your favourite solos from some of the entries like a super jam :)
That IS a good idea. But better still to aim to play in that league yourself.
"their"
This has got to be one of the most beautiful songs I've heard. Thanks for sharing this musical masterpiece , Andy. A true work of art !
so freaking soulful 7 years later. Andy taught me how to play and is the OG GOD of shred n soul
What a beautiful composition. I love Andy's technique. He's got all the right skills to become more of a household name!
2:23 - 2:50 I could listen to that first drop a million times... Strait up chills every time!
So fucking cool
Ascending 6s I think?
3:50 Onward gives me chills every time. It feels like someone is dying and you are asking them to hold on just a little longer or some cry for help.
MY NEW YEAR RESOLUTION IS TO LEARN THIS SONG 😎............. WAIT FOR THE UPDATE !!!!
Not a single word. Just touched my soul, right away.
Eargasm!! It's so beautiful
It was almost 3 years since I heard the first time for this Andy James song, and now I even truly lost my mood in drumming by hearing this song again, a mystical deep souls distraction for drummers mood Andy 🥴
Andy is one of my favorite guitar players!
Thank you Andy for that amazing performance. Just flawlessly played. I could listen to it a thousand times without getting bored. I can finally see that Gary Moore's spirit is still alive and live in one of the greatest guitarists I've ever heard. Europe had produced the greatest musicians of all time and you are nor exception. Thank you for bringing my faith in the real music again.
Rest in peace to all my friends , this one is for y'all 💔 🖤
One of the greatest guitar pieces of all time. This song is deeply emotional and inspirational. Crazy.
Красивая музыка, очень красивая музыка!!!!!!!! Спасибо за прекрасную музыку!!!!!!!!!
Goes to show what a talented guy Andy James really is ... anyone who tries to do a cover of this track never gets the bends quite right .. this guy is a hard act to follow !!!!!
Шедевр!Ещё один виртуоз,которого можно смело поставить на одну ступень с такими как Joe satriani,Petrucci,Steve Vai.До слёз аж!👍🤘
I grew up watching legendary guitar players like andy James. U guys have inspired me a lot.
My first video of Andy. I'm blessed that I found him in my early age. Love from Bangladesh.
Even though I bought the album 4 years ago, it's just great to come back and watch the man at work. Utterly inspiring.
Love this! Such appreciation.
Tears almost come into my eyes while hearing this beautiful instrumental! ♥♥ Hails to you Andy! ♥♥
Man, this is truly a masterpiece. Excellent composition and execution. Inspiring.
Guitar is what feelings sounds like.
Awesome composition with all the elements of a emotion filled instrumental that speaks true talent & though Andy did not write the song his collaborations with Jan Cryka are always a treat to see & hear. Those of us that do play don't really care about lame comments or dislikes at all & if you can play better share it , if you can't keep practicing but don't bad mouth & player that is better than yourself. Music is as much for the listener as it is for the musician as all art is. Rock On...
AMAZING GUITAR PLAYING. BEAUTIFUL, SAD MELODY I GOT GOOSEBUMPS LISTENING TO IT
My heart bleeding...IT's so beautyful...Memories comes over me...❤😢
Speechless my friend ... I live in Brazil and I am trying to get rid of cocaine addiction. Andy ... your solos touched my heart deeply tonight. My name is Cesar. God bless!
2019 still watching this Anybody ?
Dinaiwan354 Dinaiwan354 I’m afraid I’m from 3005.
@wendy pearson it is truly one of my best inspirations to playing guitar, although I stopped playing a few months ago :(
@wendy pearson check out electric gypsy by andy timmons it's also one of my favorite guitar songs :o
Yes
This is too beautiful
beautiful song! beautiful licks! GOOSEBUMPS!
Without a word!
This is masterly played... beautiful music, hats off to the guitarist.. let's not forget the composers Jan Cyrka and James Craydon, you are all geniuses
C'mon! He's a shredder! How can he play with soul? I can't believe this.
Ah, fuck. I can't believe you've done this.
thats NOT the first time he showed us that his phrasing is great...
He can do funk too...
for humanity's sake, please be trollin'
***** he's just making fun of those bluesy guys who always say things like "der's not enuf soul in theeeeere"
I try my best to play this (your) song James. Thank you for uploading on you-tube. Some of my friends have passed away and I play this song at their funeral. Sounds very sad and suits the occasion. Wonderful.
2020! Still watching him everday!!!!!!
Beautiful...Andy James, one of Favorite Guitar Players , Love His Style and Technique and Feel...BEAST!!
The song that still shakes my heart these days

Always LOVE a guitar instrumental with them SOULFUL BENDS
Andy James... Man,... Thanks for this composition...For me, It's one of the best guitars song I ever hear...
I almost forgot this masterpiece while watching guitar collabaration I saw it and once again my heart cried it's really beautiful the composition and the melody. Thank you man for this beautiful masterpiece...
This has a Steve Vai touch i appreciate so much!
Yes listening to this track just shakes my heart.
3 years gone still ain't tired of listening this song ! Feel purely given by the God !
This made my day. Maybe my whole year
OMG! This is beautiful, all the rock fibers in my heart, mind and soul made click w this guitar song. Handsome and talented this man.
This is the first time I really listened to Andy and I couldn't listen to this just once. What an amazing player, not just his technique, but his musicality and emotion he put in this is some of the best I ever heard
No words could say this what is it , excellent
Very nice!!Reminiscent of a melodic Petrucci style!!Great playing Andy!!!!!
I keep hearing Steve Vai in between riffs. Awesome track!!
Hi i would like if you can supports my youtube guitar channel with some free subscribes and likes . Thank you kzhead.info/sun/odKwqK6IinyMfZs/bejne.html
This song never ceases to amaze me. Loved it when it was released love it more now.
Hai
As I get older and am watching this after few years, I appreaciate the fine details even more. I connect more. That is maybe because I do not just see this as a guitar solo but music as a whole
This is a beautiful track. And to a lot of you out there, when all you bother listening to is technique, you become deaf to the feeling, the soul of the sound. That's a terrible thing to do to music.
NorthernDragon That's right bro, it's not all about shredding it's about feeling and letting the song breathe along with dynamics and messing with tempo imho.
mrgreeneye656 thats the most important part of it.
NorthernDragon Fucking WORD
NorthernDragon totally agree... I get sick of hearing twiddly twiddly twiddly twiddly twiddly guitar playing. This guy can do that, but chooses not to, or at least places it where it needs to be. That is the mark of a true musician, not a poser. Nice piece.
NorthernDragon You're so right, I've always thought about that...
THIS is what we call music!
Simply a beautiful song,God bless your talent Andy...
One of the best Guitar ballads ever ❤️
OMG! 1:00-1:04, that lick is sick! Gives me goose bumps. Amazing Andy!
me too
Yss, seriously 😎👌
Tastiest, most soulful guitar solo I have ever heard. You inspire me to play from the heart even more. 🙏💯🤘
Wow I must of listened to this over a hundred times wow this hits hard so emotional love it your a legend Andy James I bow down to you
I've been listening this from 2014 and still it refresh my mind. Feels like listening to Steve Vai and John Petruci.
Touched my heart. Love from the #Crow_Of_Dhaka .
For first time i see someone touch my heart during he's playing
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
