In 2007 James played on the Lords Prayer album with Vanessa Bell Armstrong, James Ingram, Sheila E, and many more other gospel, jazz r&b artists from 1994 to present. James says “I was raised on classical music from an early age, my mother sang opera and I started playing guitar at 12 years old. My first professional experience playing live was playing with Eric Clapton's drummer Jamie Oldecker at age 15 in a small club in Tulsa Oklahoma .James started playing guitar at age 12 after hearing Jimi Hendrix Electric Lady Land and never wanted to do anything else. James soon was playing Larry Carlton and The Crusaders note for note he studied jazz, R &B, funk fusion, metal, pop, rock guitar and classical composition. James has been featured in Guitar Player magazine's spotlight column by Mike Varney who discovered Yngwie Malmsteen, Jason Becker and Paul Gilbert to name a few. Mike Varney saying of James Williams “His guitar playing consist of high-level passages and innovative guitar work reminds me of Yngwie Malmsteen to Al Dimeola and Bach” James started 2011 signed to Magna Carta records out of NY by Mike Varney with a much herald guitar God album of power prog classical metal virtuoso masterpiece, with catchy vocals and strong hooks like Kansas, Yes, and Dream Theater. His album “X Opus The Epiphany”, was reviewed by every major guitar mag around the World as a must have for all guitar fans, Truth in Shredding gave it 4 out of 5 stars along with many others. In 2012 James recorded James Williams Eclectic Shred another world release this time on his own lable Eclectic Records.It got reviews as the best instrumental guitar cd in decades compared to the classic recordings of Yes,Al Dimeola,Alan Holdsworth,and Rick Wakeman. Eclectic Shred is a record that embellishes the cd title incorporating jazz fusion, metal, classical compositions that are reminiscent of dramatic film scores.James also incorporated Middle Eastern and Bulgarian modes on Eclectic Shred. James Williams says “One of my many musical goal's is to give back to people threw playing live and music teaching what God has given me threw music to inspire others to do the same”James has also been in music worship ministry for over 10 years, he has played for Day Star television and their prison ministry,appeared on shows for TBN and has done extensive studio work for many Gospel Grammy winners threw out the world and recording projects around Dallas TX.

Ben

He can play pretty much any song and any style of music. He taught me advanced techniques and helped me develop my style of playing. From tasteful blues licks to shredding with 2-handed legato techniques, James has an amazing set of skills he is able to teach and demonstrate. In addition to this, he also introduced me to new and obscure genres and artists that the average listener would likely never come across in their own time.

Overall if you are looking to push yourself outside of your boundaries and become an expert at guitar, James can give you whatever tools you need to put you on that path. I would highly recommend.
