[kostasssism]

Hello mate,are you greek? pathos and logos are greek words

[blooperjohn]

[guismth]

great riffs bro! now you got great tone too!

[area859]

GEEEZUS! Why are'nt you on the Cover of Guitar World....Friggen Amazing!! 

[Stephenmichaelparker]

Yep--aren't they awesome guitars?? I have 2 classics, now--1 w/the SSC--it IS amazing what they can do...

[Nevigo]

Great playing.

[jpthomps1]

Badass man. Lots of tasty licks in there.

[FretlessMind]

May I ask how your treble pickup was wired hotter? Definitely love this strat, makes me wanna put down my custom PRS. hehe :)

Cheers!

[ejm909]

@FretlessMind Thanks for checking it out. I'm pretty sure there are just more winds in the bridge pickup. It'll compress the signal a little harder. To be honest, even though it's a little hotter, I don't hear a difference in tone. All the best...

[Archangel41876]

[bigman12583]

What amp are you playing threw? thanks

[bravia15]

i love this sound! really nice playing!

And which version of Triaxis is that?

[mojoefly]

i was cheking out tom qaulyes video with a custom classic. it only has that distinct sound. this suhr has. how do you explain that sound. the twang is deeper than the fenders.

[frankie7955]

[maryanbed]

great sound

[40DollarFine]

Most excellent stuff and what a demo for the Suhr. And, you can't help but notice the Truth LP cover on the wall!!!!

[MrHardrod2]

I love that guitar. How much is for the Custom Classic if I may ask? I want one for sure in the future. It sounds so sweet to play with. I can see how easily you can access the high notes without any struggle and how comfortable you are going up and down the neck of the guitar doing your licks and legato riffs. Great chops too.

[ejm909]

If you check the suhr website, they have a detailed listing of prices and options. I'm not sure what this would retail for. I know this guitar listed for around $4300.

[Undercurrentuk1]

fantastic playing. I'll be sure to get an album. great sounding rig, love the guitar

[SteveBrownOfficial]

Groove on. Sweet tone Eth.

[gjohnson870]

Nice Sound. Which pickups are those on your classic?

[ejm909]

Those are the V60LP's in all positions. The Bridge is wired slightly hotter.

[coleby6661]

Holy shit. Where can i buy a album?

[ejm909]

My first CD "Pathos and Logos" will be released just after the holidays. Thanks for watching.

[surfboy7]

@ejm909 Are u Greek?

[abbamax]

it seems like buddy whittington in 'sure got cold after the rain fell', same guitar sound, good guitar work at all

[furzati]

hi~ fabulous work!! I am so obsessed with the sklill you use in this clip between 2:11~2:13, may i ask how did you do that?? thanks

[malamutelocomotive]

Great video!

What's the song you're playing at the first part of the video?

[ejm909]

Just improvising, really. There's an idea similar to this that will be on my next record. Thanks for checking it out.

[hamaniable]

oh reallllllyyyyy goodddd!!!!!!!

[speedburnervideo]

its Mike-ee from West Coast Choppers, he learned quick on guitar!

[yamitanomura]

amazing sound and technic !!

[fattimebluse]

It is a very good sound.

It is very wonderful.

[Crashoverall]

Guys I was wondering whether the neck of the suhr guitars (strats) are really different form fender strats.

I never played a suhr but i'm going to new york and really intend to check them out.

If I order one on them do you think its gonna take long for it to come? i mean, more than 5 days?

thanks

[ejm909]

The typical Suhr neck is less of a baseball bat feel than a traditional strat has. The fretwork and the selection of quality woods is pretty untouchable with Suhr. If you have a Suhr built for you expect to wait at least 4 months. There are places in NY that have them in stock, though.

[Crashoverall]

thanks man. really want one of these guitars.

I'm trying to find some places that have them in stock in NY, because I'm only staying there for a week.

When I said order I meant the ones they have that are ready to ship. Tough I think a custom one is truly an outstanding guitar I wont stay in NY that long.

Keep playing buddy, that guitar is a true gift!

[bluesjamman]

yeah, great skill dude, briliance

[LamborginiVirtuoso]

great playing dude

[NreeKelBastardos]

[orangeguitarmusik]

[99voltsdotcom]

good lord...incredible playing man! It's not the guitar, it's frightening what the player can do...you could probably rip on a 2X4 and weed eater wire.

[PavelP]

Smoking vid, man! Mad chops!

[manonfire38]

[musiluna]

[jamesm5744]

[ax1sg]

Jesus Christ Dude! Your Great!

I know your digging the new axe, but you have to have the Talent to play like that too!

davido

[symphonicmind87]

awesome guitar and playing!

[mattchurchill]

Great playing and tone man, nice vid!

[nestati]

awesome!

[habsfan170]

oh, and when did you use the Fulldrive 2 in this video just out of curiosity?

[habsfan170]

unbelievable chops, great playing. And I didn't expect such wonderful tone to come out of a mesa boogie! well done, those Suhrs are truly amazing.

[Slipknotfanatic89]

habs-

Why not?

[nestati]

hey was that you on bass in the guthrie govan rob balducci NAMM 2008 little wing video?

[ejm909]

Yup it was. I tour with Rob. Guthrie is a good friend of the band and we were all out there with Cornford Amplification.

[martinlutherkingIII]

hey ethan. awesome playing man mike (sixstring63) showed me to you.

I know you have the V60 pickups in here, but is that bridge pickup a humbucker? I'm not sure because I thought I heard somewhere that it was, but if it isn't, I am getting one of these with one in there haha. Great playing as always, and I love your bass skills as well. Saw you with Carl Roa on here and it was fucking badass. Take it easy man.

Niles

[ejm909]

Thanks a lot. That guitar is 3 V60LP's. My next model with Suhr will probably have a humbucker in the bridge, though. I really wanted a single in that guitar to get a more chimey sound out of the second pickup position in particular. Thanks again for checking the stuff out!

[soundlikeFabian]

Suhr guitars are only awesome, My favorite guitars are: Suhr,Tom Anderson, Fender and James Tylor!!! nice playing!

[gtrman01]

Nice sounding Suhr man, nice tone and playing!

[metalcore929]

Sounds really great. Nice playing my friend.

[jenks5150]

absolutely dirrrrrtttyyy clean tone, and blues rock tone towards the middle. Very nice.

[FretlessMind]

WOW! Just one word....AMAZING!!!!

Tone, and playing are just simply superb!

Frettlessmind...

[phelpselo]

I love this guitar

And well done man!

[order57]

That's what i call having a good time!

:)

Great guitarist and great guitar!

Greets from italy.

[caldoagghiacciante]

Bravo!! Fantastic taste and licks!

[yinyangthang]

Oh, and then there's that shred business at the end...

[yinyangthang]

Pure, soulful, supreme...

[LPLATE78]

are you mickey from orangs county choppers ??

[ElectricSamurai]

hahahaha man...

great playing bro .. :)

[stevieVantanna]

Sounds great man!

At the end of the solo you should eat the guitar! that would rule!

[dougreynolds10]

hes got a point there

[TheBandWhoCares]

Hey Mikey!

I didn't know you played guitar like that... and how do you find the time with all those choppers to help build?!

;)

Just kiddin' Nice chops, man! and I love Suhr guitars.

[ibashred]

ha! he does look like mikey.

[Monsterjoerocks]

You blew me away! Great to see someone play with a great vibrato on youtube.

[schuey999]

No kidding. So many people invest so much time into picking fast. Nothing embellishes playing/tone more than good vibrato.

[JuicyOverdrive]

Want.

[ariseblackmantra]

man gotta love that "twang"...sweeet...

[leonjay1]

Geez.....

[alexxx2909]

man,i don't get impressed that much anymore with guitar players,but i really think you are a talent.i don't know much about you but i really hope you are making a great living as a musician,cause it would make me sad to know that you are doing something else.you worked hard and watching you playing is a real pleasure for me.take care

[mrTodd1968]

As soon as I saw 'Axis' and Truth on the walls I expected to hear some nice playing. Very cool. I've been thinking about getting a Suhr guitar too.

[parlego]

Nice tone and nice playing.I agree, like EVH plus Slash. I wish I could see those feet ( triaxis + gsp ) ! I didn't know Suhr guitars and I realize they work pretty well.

Best regards, Pablo Martin.

[albatross111]

wow... I can't stop listening to this, so awesome! And when you think it can't get any more awesome he chucks on the heaviest overdrive and its so awesome everyone dies.... EVERYONE

[seanSHRED87]

YOur an amazing musician!

I really like the range you have and the emotion you put into your style.

[soren650]

Van Halen at 4.25 :D

Nice playing and tone. Just got a Suhr Standard today. Best guitar ever laid in my hands :O

[Kigorri]

+1 Tone! & +1 Skills! The clean tones especially, you have pushed me towards one of these... bye bye fender :(

[soren650]

[jea1012]

[ejm909]

[ftele]

~Love the use of the vibrato arm...nice playing man...~~

[alilaith93]

[SIXSTRING63]

[SIXSTRING63]

Hey Ethan , I always give this a listen to get inspiration in my playing at least once a week.

Hope all is well my Brother ! Mike

[jonmatthew]

Sounds good bud.

[guiktard]

ah i see,thats why you got familiar face,anyway just get rid of the repeating stuff and you ll be unique ,for me at least

peace

[guiktard]

great tone and all but you'r repaiting yourself a lot,btw a lot of stuff taken off guthrie's random jam on clinic 05?not sure.still great technique

[ejm909]

I've never heard that Guthrie bit.

[guiktard]

well dont overtake my words,im not meant to be bad.you just reminded me that specific jam,you definetely are better than a lot of guys on this race,keep going

[ejm909]

No worries. Thanks for checking the video out. There's a video floating around on here of my jamming with Guthrie on Little Wing. I'm Rob Balducci's bass player and he joined us at the end of our gig at the NAMM show this year. Guthrie's such a great player.

[toneocaster]

OK, now one likes a "show Off"! LOL! Hot guitar, hot guitarist!

[tjchep]

You should have a solo spot when your playing with rob.

good stuff.

[yanumuk]

Wow !, beautifull guitar and very nice playing. What are the specs of the guitar ? .

[darrenwatsonband]

Beautiful guitar and playing my man! I just ordered a Chambered Ash Custom Classic Hardtail. I cannot WAIT!

[guitartec]

It Suhr sounds good. Try to make more than 5 minutes of fame on Utube. You're better than that.

[B2Rockin]

WOW! Quite possibly one of the best guitarists I have ever seen. You are a hidden wonder, man. Keep it up, I loved the jam! Cheers.

[alezb]

Amazing tone and playing!

[Swiftwinter]

Hats off to you.

[yoni162]

great touch, and great tone as well..

[fpaul1971]

Great playing. Great amp. Can't go wrong with a Boogie. Kinda lame on the sustain for a $3000+ guitar.

[holamexicoff]

WOW!

Pretty insane my amigo!

But yeah, on regards of some of the responses.... once becomes famous for his composing abilities.. not for their playing ones...

would kill to play like that but...

Cheers

[Maxsamom]

You are just like a regular looking dude, but you are F*%king amazing. I could walk by you in the street and never know you had this talent. Why are you not on stage somewhere? There are guys like you just walking around and they play dogshit on every radio station. Life is not fair.

[WyldeMalmsteen]

Amazing Tone, playing, phrasing and u are just overall Amazing!

Cheers!

[mrichman]

Sounds great! I also have a Recto 2x12, but I use a 20/20. I was considering replacing it with a 2:90 for better tone. How is the 2:90 at low volumes with the 2x12? I'll only be using it indoors for recording.

[NickBen11]

Great playing!

P.S. - you look like Mikey from American Choppers lol.

[thelycandraven]

that is one very nice sound!! Triaxis kicks as:D I have one also:D very very nice playing, you fuckin rock dude!!!very very nice vibrato!!!

[dwsabianguy]

HOLY SHAT, THAT WAS AMAZING!!!

Incredible tone, incredible playing, just wow.

[JoeyMauroLive]

Great sound.  May I ask what woods you got there? Is that Pau Ferro on the fingerboard?

[tjey2008]

Veeeeery good sound, playing and feeling

[Rekisum]

Crisp sound!!

[GIBBORWF]

[XXxMetalShredxXX]

[guitartec]

You're a player!

[oddball009]

I was listening to this and typing an email and I just stop about 10 seconds in and was like WOW.. Mad Props dude. Great stuff!!!1

Hey guy!Respect for your style and your "estro"!one question...i want to buy a 2:90 for my rig, can i play at home at reasonab
