Ethan. Great lesson, terrific sound. Thanks for taking the time. Never knew about you before but I'll be following you a little closer now. Thanks again.
@EthanBrosh Glad to hear it, dude! Looking forward to seeing and hearing more from you! Just try and take your own gear next time ;-) Really like your style!
ethan, just saw you at the nady booth of namm, i think thursday, and should've come up and introduced myself and bought a cd. sorry i did not. have to say, didn't know you or your band but am hunting down your work and lessons upon returning. you were fantastic and seemed like one the nicest and most genuine guys. best jd
@aruizi It's mostly guys just playing extremely fast and complicated stuff. Hence the name the type of video it is. "Betcha can't play this", they wouldn't put something easy to play in a video entitled that. That doesn't mean that they can't actually play things that sound good, though.
every time i see someone playing a strat (besides malmsteen) they are using the humbucker, why not just use a guitar that actually sounds good with a humbucker, like a Les Paul
I kinda liked his last betcha a bit more, the opening licks are bad ass...as were the ending ones. The middle, meh...take it or leave it. Still love this guy's stuff.
That was the most intricate sequence of extremely difficult while simulataneoulsy useless arpeggiated craziness I have seen in a while. Not only can I not play it, I have never needed to play it. And will never need to play it. It's kind of like Trigonometry, Yep, it's really hard, but I have never had to actually use it in real life. But it is very difficult to do.
@lotrringereras Don't be let down bro. Literally everything you think you have written that was original has already been done by someone. There's only so many notes you can play on any given instrument in any given tuning, it's going to happen.
@lappiolu 7th comment... who gives a shit? Guitar World, you need to monitor your comments better. Shit comments like this poor idiot's need to be removed. On topic, nice installment of Ethan's Betcha segment. Hope he does more of it, even though I'll never be able to play it as well as him haha
@EthanBrosh no ethan nothing better to to than hanging around at guitar world hq. i would expect a guy of your talent to be busy touring or recording or something to that nature
