  • Nice brother, what are your settings on this ada patch ? I use stock ada, and sound close to my sound !

  • Awesome!!!!!!!!!! 

  • this is my teacher

  • HAZAK ACHI!

  • I'd love to shred like this on my Strat!!! Soon enuff I guess. Got a lot of practice ahead of me. Rock on Ethan!

  • Hi. What power amp are you using? Can you give me your settings for the ADA MP-1 pre-amp? I just bought one and I´m seeking this kind of tone. Is it stock or modded? Thanks!!!

  • you're playing is tasty!! you're a melodic player, i don't like shredding that sounds like a million notes but says nothing. good luck. the backing track sounds like "shot in the dark" ozzy osbourne!

  • 140 likes and 7 dislikes? we need to find these 7 people and slap them silly...Dude, you are awesome! I am normally not a big fan of "guitar shredding" like this, but your playing has style and isn't just a big mess of scales and over distorted crap ( like a lot of shredding videos out here are ) ...Very well played..Awesome stuff man!

  • Really love the tone and of couse the playing, what gear are you using?

  • I see a bunch of Rockman half units in that rack. I see the chorus delay and an EQ...

  • that solo is AMAAAZING dude you sweep like a broom

  • damn good man. Is that just the ada you are getting you distortion from or did you run any pedals in front of it. 

  • EPIC!

    I could listen to this all day.

  • Comment removed

  • Ethan good day, great teacher you influenced me my music career and even buy an ADA mp1, which to me is one of the most amazing pre amps that already have launched, I wish you all best of luck in your career, I have a band WINNER called hard rock, has three songs here on youtube is just click banda winner who will find a warm hug from friend and number one fan here in Brazil Giovanni Carvalho guitar

  • you really capture the sound from this era, I love it ! A small Vivian Cambell influence !?!!

  • awesome !!!

  • amazing e.e ... im only lilke ....70 eprcent good at fastnest lmfao

  • Now thats f*cking kick ass! \,,/

  • YEAHH SHOT IN THE DARK GREAT MANN

  • I love the fact that you use an ADA. My instructor told me about it recently and I managed to find a mint condition ADA MP-1 Classic. I love it.

    I Really appreciate that you are playing like the 80's shred guys. It's my favorite genre and I am always looking for new artists to study for new licks and phrases to help build my own song ideas.

  • You sir are one badass motherphucker! I love your shred and soloing! Nice dude!

  • excellent.

  • Just got your cd yesterday and FANTASTIC release!!!!! Love listening to skilled players play. Wish ya the best of Luck in your musical endevours.

  • fantastic !

  • You rock! awesome playing!

  • That's some stylish playing!

  • do you use a solid state?

  • fucking awesome!a fender with floyd rose!!!your great dud!!!

  • This vid makes me jizz so bad lol

  • did that put ur guitar outa tune

  • This was very cool. I say "mojoplasma", cool that you are using a strat! I would like you too do a second solo album, but with vocals. That would be awsome. Keep up the good work man!

    Daniel Almqvist

    40!

  • nice to see someone shredding on a strat for a change...

  • I bought your debut man and I love it I will be checking out your second release soon: )

  • how satisfied are you by you ada pre? im thinkng of buing one pretty sooon..

  • Great music! Your playing gives me back the stolen guitar hero era. Thanks!

  • FANTASTIC playing Ethan. Great sound !!! What setting do you use on your MP-1? I still have one of George Lynch's original Microtube poweramps which DJ Ashba from now GNR sold me in 2003. Peace, -G.

  • yep...

  • I wonder if you can actually get that tone with an ADA MP-1 because I have seen other vids, and they seem to have a shit load of gain

  • The ADA is a great pre-amp, but you have to set up in the right way. People put the valve's gain near to the max so it become very noisy and dirty.

  • shit man your right hand at 0:41 becomes invisible like in the fucking cartoons!!

  • So fuckin' great... I enjoied a lot your soloing, man!

  • awesome man great sound. what are you running some reverb and delay with some crunch.

  • and I hear a little bit of chorus there too

  • insane.

  • Ethan Brosh is one of the very few select players other than George Lynch that can pul the "jack-off" vibrato flawlessly.. Tone IS awesome as well.

  • Don't forget Greg Howe

  • Are you israeli?

  • Yes, He Is

  • Great playing and a very, very nice tone!

  • great tone man! My first guitar is exactly the same as yours :) Did you upgrade the pickups of that guitar?

  • ada mp1 is always a great premp!!!!!!

  • thats one startrek lookin ass amp rig bro

  • I am impressed. no wonder you can get greg howe to play with you. jesus man, Im jealous. I have to go shred now, so one day I can get romeo on my cd.

  • Great Video and Tone.

  • I keep coming back to this vid. You rip man.

  • Is all your using for your tone the ADA?

  • here yeah, It goes through effects and a poweramp too...

  • @EthanBrosh hi just have a question i see your rack and just want to know i have a ada mp1 tube preamp and a boos gx700 and i want to use the boos as effect whit my ada but i dont know how to plug them whit my power amp (marshall jcm2000 dsl 100w) thnks

  • @EthanBrosh how you plug the ada whit the effect rack

  • excellent ....embraces & much music of your friend rafael of the Brazil

  • Thank you Rafael! Appreciate your comment! enjoy the beautiful weather in your country!

    Ethan

  • AWESOME as usual bro.. always give me goosebumps when you do sweeps and tapping...

  • Hey,

    I commented on this before on a different account. Man the MP-1 is such a killer little 80s preamp. Care you share your settings?

    Cheers

  • It sure is! I honestly don't remember the settings I had on this video...It actually doesn't really matter that much. The mp-1 always sounds like the mp-1...just get a guitar that fits well with it and play it super loud! that's what makes it sound good. have all the Gain settings around 7.5 then just play it by ear.

    Thanks!

    Ethan

  • Hey dude, lovely playing! I hope do write an instrumental E.P. soon myself.. was wondering what you think of the ADA MP-1 for low end rock? Am putting to getha a rack for touring with.. I kinda like the modern low end riffs but at the end of the day I just want something that sounds okay and does the job live!!

  • Also! what power amp ect are you using?

  • the marshall 9200 power is bad ass and that's what I use live...IT WILL BREAK YOUR BACK THOUGH! lol! Mp-1 rules especially live in high volumes...that's where it really shines...Thank you bro!

    Ethan

  • Cheers dude, keep shredding!!!!!

  • I have been playing for about 10 years now and I cant play at half your speed, how do you do it? My fingers just feel heavy, sloppy and sluggish.

  • hehe...thanks bro. I wouldn't worry too much about speed but if it's important to you, Just take some shred lick of either 6 or 8 notes that's on one string. Start slow and make sure you're really loose, stay as close as possible to the strings on both hands and then just master this one lick...It will get you far...then come and take a lesson from me and check out my album Out of Oblivion on Magna Carta Records ;-) good luck!

    Ethan

  • Well done!!! I am thinking to buy one ADA MP-1. It has spirit of 80s...

  • man, thought your fingers were going to catch fire there....nice job!

  • Lol!!! Thank you brother!

  • nice ear.a comment not used much ,but here it applies...

  • Thank you so much! I try :-)

    Ethan

  • spirit of 80´

  • is there any other decade??? ;-)

    Ethan

  • lol, not one worth listenin to :) shit hot stuff again btw dude, much kudos

  • Hey dude, very nice tone and playing. I just bought an MP-1 off eBay 5 minutes ago and got rid of my recto recording Mesa because it sucked. Can you tell me if your MP-1 is stock?

  • Good for you! Congrats for the upgrade! ;-) and yes my mp-1 is stock. Play it loud and have fun!

    Ethan

  • hey i just bought an ada mp 1 i was wondering if u have any suggested settings?

  • My only suggested settings for the MP-1 is just play it freaking loud!!! I know it sounds like a simple advice but trust me that's the way to make it sound good. Just set the parameters to something that doesn't sound wierd, play it loud and you got it!

    Ethan

  • is that shot in the dark playing in the back ?

  • yeah it is

  • hey man really really sick shit I checked out your page I am absolutely loving it. your tone is unreal. what kinda setup are you using in this vid. Pre-Amp and power amp setup ?

  • Yo! Sorry, Just saw your comment now...It's just the Mp-1 and a tubeworks mosvalve poweramp. Plus some delay and reverb. Ok,,,A LOT of delay and reverb ;-)

    Ethan

  • Man ! you and your sister rock a lot;)

    I'm in france, but next year I'm goin' to berklee ,I really wanna see both of U LIve there!

  • Hey Bro, nice playing and great feel at high speeds. Ill be looking out for the album when it comes out. Hey good luck with your playing.

  • Thanks a million bro! Appreciate you taking the time to check out my stuff. Please keep in touch!

    Ethan

  • where can i buy this album theres no new talent like this anymore AMAZING

  • Thank you very much bro!!! I appreciate it! My album "Out of Oblivion" will come out on Magna Carta Records on 3/3/09 and will be in stores and available on line of course. Keep in touch!

    Ethan

  • will definetly be buying it!

  • sounds killer dude best of luck with ur album

  • Yeah man, MP-1 preamp and a tubeworks mosvalve preamp on here. Not the best power you can get though. Live I play the Marshall 9200 power which sounds much bigger.

    Thakns

    Ethan

  • *meant to say tubeworks poweramp

  • you are brilliant! nice work! I have a question. I understand you have eq in the front (i figured that would help fatten the tone to the MP-1). But is your MP-1 stock, or is it modded? I'm debating getting a Voodoo modded MP-1...again nice playing, and beautiful tone, love the strat.

  • Thank you bro! Let me put it this way, I have a voodoo lab MP-1 but it's collecting dust. The one you're hearing here and the one I play with live are stock. I think I had the EQ going here but it was so long ago I don't really remember what the deal was exactly. Anyway thanks for the comment! Rock on bro!

    Ethan

  • thanks,

    hey also, there is the mod 4 mkII. i checked out the clips at adadepot and they sound really sweet. just pass'n it on.

  • Your playing style reminds me of Harry Cody from Shotgun Messiah!

    Fuckin' radical!

  • muy bueno el solo, eres muy buen guitarrista

  • Muchas muchas gracias! hehe :-)

    Ethan

  • Amazing guy!!!You're fantastic,but your equipament is fantastic too!!!lol

  • and he does on a strat, your amazing dude

  • WARNING beware guitarttimman alias about 500 other accounts.

  • The BluesJamTracks Carlton bt costs £1.00 sterling available online. On Youtube it features the incredible skills of Guthrie Govan. Point. Why would you ask a known Guthrie trouble-maker for a copy of his bt?

  • great playing Ethan. Are you Nili's brother? She's also quite exceptional.

    Peace, Tim

  • Alert danger danger Ethan ....dont go near this man. He has a fascination for equine sexual deviancy. He has been barred from many forums for self publication to the point of becoming a total nuisance pain in the ass. Nice soloing BTW. Much better than Donkey Man.

  • Holy shit dude you look like my dad friend is name i Ian her is a Drummer for Matrix That is the ban her plays for. oh ya Fucking crazy shit MAY ROCK LIVE!!!!!!!

  • Dude Nice Best Thing ive Seen In a Long Time

    Nice Fender Btw

  • Thank you sir! Much appreciated!

    Ethan

  • I am just sitting here with my mouth wide open....

  • Well, Thank you! That's nice of you to say. Keep in touch!

    Ethan

  • This is Rikki from the Summer thing at Berklee. I'm not even gonna lie. You're one of the best guitarists I've ever seen/met.

  • Hey Rikki, Thank you so much! It was a pleasure meeting you a few weeks ago. I was very impressed with your skills, I think you should consider coming to Berklee full time at some point. I think you can benefit a lot from it. You're really telented!

    Ethan

  • are you related to nili brosh or is it a coincedence

  • Couldn't be more related, She's my little sis. :-) Take care!

    Ethan

  • Killer groove!Can't wait to hear your new cd!

  • how did you learn to do the howe style vibrato you do at 15 seconds? ive been trying to learn that but it isnt so easy...lol actually its fucking hard

  • 0:18 actually

  • Hey dude! I was just gonna ask you if you were talking about second 18 and not 15! I think Greg does it so good it's scary! I learned it years ago from George Lynch before I really gotten into Greg's music. It is hard to do well. I saw some of your vids and your technique is super good, I'm sure you'll have it no problem. How old are you BTW? Nice job and thanks for your comment!

    Ethan

  • hey, thanks a lot, im 15, but you are so good did you go to music school? you must have

  • Thank you very much! And yes, I went to Berklee. You should go there too, You're gonna love it and you're obviously gonna be a pro so you should think about it. I'm actually gonna be teaching there for a week this month. Good luck and keep on ripping!

    Ethan

  • haha awesome man, i want to go there, i plan on going to the guitar sessions summer program next summer, but my only worry is that if i do go to berklee, and I don't get a career in music than i'm left with no education besides high school and that kinda sucks

  • Dude, all the great guitarists came from Berklee.

    Well maybe just you and John Petrucci.

    Ha.

  • Oh, and VAI.

  • haha...Well...there were a few more trust me. Thank you though! :-)

    Ethan

  • Holy shit you are amazing!! Is nili your sister?

    It should be illegal to have that much talent in one family.You rock bro.

  • Haha :-) yes Nili is my sister. Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

    Ethan

  • Oh holy! Awesome, Ethan! And cool to see "Newton, MA" as your hometown...I grew up in West Roxbury, right down the road a piece :)

    Keep rockin'...it's pretty amazing how you pick out your notes with such precision, despite your incredible speed...something one doesn't often hear (except when listening to someone like Satriani :) Thanks, Ethan!

    Cheers,

    Joy

  • Joy, Thank you so much for your kind words, It means so much to me. I guess we used to be neighbours :-) Thanks for checking out my music! All the best!

    Ethan

  • Man I am SPEACHLESS YOU ARE DAMN GOOD AMAZING DUDE YOU ARE UP THEIR WITH GregHowe,Vai Satriani all them CATS How Long have you been playing?

  • Dude thank you so much for your comment! I deeply appreciate it! I've been playing since I was 12 I think but I won't admit how old I am here ;-)

    Thanks man!

    Ethan

  • Thats fucking awesome bro. Rock On.

  • simply amazing. i love your style

  • Thanks dude! Really appreciate that!

    Ethan

  • wow... he must of been playing since he was like 12 to make that! it's like he's a machine on the guitar ! 5 stars :)

  • Thank you SkateVicious! You're right I have been playing since I was 12. So only five stars for me??? ;-) just kidding...Thanks a lot bro! Good luck to you!

    Ethan

  • Good work, mate. Greetings from Germany.

  • 5 flippin' stars!!!

  • u had ur bachelor from berklee as well?

  • Yes I did, in 2004...

  • wow.. thot of studying there and take composition and mpe.. but dang its in boston.. and im in singapore.. so i took mechanical engineering locally instead.. lol! so.. what major is ur bachelor?

  • That's a sweet tone you've got man. Awesome skills too :D

    Do you use a delay pedal/function for that sound? If so, what do you use?

  • Thanks brother! Glad you liked it! Yeah there's a delay on it, Of course :-) you'll never find me playing without it lol... Not a pedal though. I use a digitech multi effects processor which gives me a stereo delay that goes between the two cabinets. You can't really tell how it sounds on youtube unfortunately.

    Rock on dude!

    Ethan

  • This guy is like a less freaky version of Shane Gibson. Love it.

  • Thanks...Shane may have freaky hair but he's a super cool guy. We went to Berklee together.

    Ethan

  • i nnneeeeedd to know that lick u played at .57

  • How long have you bee playing man you remind of a friend of mine name Kevin shredd just like you I am freaking out because you look like him are you Kevin? And do you give lessons another thing I notice that most great guitar player have the bow at the top of the headstock what is that for does it help keep your other strings from ringing when you take a solo?

  • yea its so u dont have 2 try 2 mute all the strings ur not playing

  • you shred like a god

  • Dude, you're awesome, no need to say more. Do you have a cd out? I wanna buy it.

  • Thanks bro!

    Yeah...Just go from the eventide to the return of your Randall head, This way you'll bypass its preamp and get the pure tone of the mp1. also just make sure you play loud to get the tone! :-)

    Thanks

    Ethan

  • Nice playing man. Love the tone. Cool to see I'm not the only ADA MP-1 into a Mosvalve user :-) I was curious as to what are you using for effects? Obviously you have delay on but were you using some chorus too? Using the Rockman Stuff for effects or do you have another processor? Keep up the great work!

  • Thanks man! I appreciate it! I have some reverb on there besides delay but no chorus on this one. I have a bunch of rockman stuff but the effects you're hearing on there are coming from the TSR 24 which can do anything. Keep in touch and good luck!

    Ethan

  • im shocked ... thats just amazing .... how long have you been playing?

  • Hey thanks for the comment bro! I have been playing longer that I'd like to admit here ;-)

    I live for guitar!

    Thanks

    Ethan

  • i myself have only been playing for around a year but i cant wait to get good enough to put vids on youtube

    keep it up :D

  • Thank you bro, Good luck to you I'm sure you'll get really good super quick! Wish I had youtube when I started playing!

    Ethan

  • You just blew me fucking head off mate,,good luck n keep up the good work,,

  • Thank you my brother! Always happy to hear that, Thanks for the comment and good luck with your playing!

    Ethan

  • some hotass riffin right there

  • love your tapping technique and that lynch vertical vibrato!

  • great suond and great guitarist. how many rockman you use? how are connected with mp-1? do you use an overdrive pedal?

  • Thank you sir! I have almost all the rockmans, At least all the good ones :-)

    The only one I use along with the mp-1 is the rockman eq. Try hooking it up before the mp-1. Good luck with your tone!

    Ethan

  • Thank you for your reply. My rockman EQ is inserted in the loop of mp-1, while before mp-1 I use a rockman sustainor mod. 200.

  • I have an mp-1 going through a mesa simul 295. I can't seem to get that sweet compressed lead sound at high volumes. Could you give me a few pointers with the settings you're using here? Your bends are really screamin'

  • Thank you...Maybe it's the Mesa getting in the way of those sweet leads ;-) Try using the mp-1 going to the power section of your amp, This way you make sure the preamp of your amplifier doesn't change your tone. Don't really remember the exact settings I used on this video. try having the two gains around 7. Have a lot of bass, Don't scoop the mids too much and you should be fine. Good luck bro!

    Ethan

  • Hey man!

    Actually the Mesa 295 is a power amp, so no preamp to worry about! =D I think the problem might have been that for me to crank that monster up to volumes where it should sound really good would mean levels where my ears are no longer interpreting the sound the same as at lower volumes. It just seems to get thin and harsh at loud volumes. I should really try running the thing outdoors on full blast to hear what it's like on a high setting. I'll probably get an eviction in the process :P

  • 5 stars! well played sir!

  • which one is better: shredding or making love?

  • shredding

  • In shredding ya don't get criticised for being too fast.

  • And thank god for that! :-)

    Actually, You'll be surprized but there are people out there that will criticize you for that too! CAn you believe it?!?

    Ethan

  • Great playing Ethan!!! I love your tone and feel. I had an Mp-1 back in the 80's, and always loved it. I think I better get on Ebay and find one:) Keep up the great playing.
