Seriously? Theses guys are some of the nicest, talented musicians in the metal world today and half the people on here are bashing them because of the way they speak and look....Seriously???
Yeah, how dare those guys speaking english as a second language have accents! Guaranteed all the people bashing them for their english only speak one language, probably poorly.
Such kickass guitarists, they're not comparing on who's better than who they're just the type of team work guys, they really seem down to earth guys, I would love to meet them🔥🔥🤘🤘
these guys are awesome. They dont "try" to hard anything. They go out on stage and play and kick some ass. Then have fun after the shows with their fans. I got both their picks from the 2 shows i went to and gladly they signed them. I even had a few drinks with them.
To GW: great friggin' choice! THIS is the formula to success. Fresh faces that are talented and explain things in a clear, precise way. I truly got something I can use the first time I watched it. Like having Alexi and Roope showing BloodDrunk. Excellent.
@Valcarion well, after watching some of the bands vids i have to say the have chops. their style of playing isn't very complicated, doesn't really have that initial wow factor but it is damn solid. i mean, twilight of the thunder god is sick. simple, but sick
Hahahaha I love the way they just talk about random stuff . They look so nervous hahha I guess that the interviewers were like : '' Introduce yourself tell us a bit about yourself '' and they got all nervous and started talking about random things without making any sense haha lol reminded me of myself when I was younger xD ( they play really good though )
@Carnifex11100 it's not always about who plays more (or difficult) solos. I think, it's more about who contributes the most. Olavi pretty much wrote all songs up until the Oden Album. Johan S. started contributing starting the Twlilight. But Johan S. also writes kick ass songs like Live For the Kill.
almost, standard on a 7 string is BEADGBE, B standard on a six string is BEADF#B, to account for the different interval between (if you're in E standard tuning) the g and b strings
i'm not sure i've heard a guitar tone as good as Amon Amarth's sound in a lot of years. mixing a classic guitar with a modern high gain head obviously works well, especially for this sort of band. having the natural aggression from the explorer pickups would give them the perfect swedish death metal tone.
@Thekingofthecrux Aye. It's the same principle used in the blues. It doesn't matter how much you say, or how intricately wordy you say it, but what you say, and the feeling we get from you saying it. Amon Amarth fits that perfectly. Simple, but sick.
very interesting. I know not something about music, but it seemed, for me , that the brown haurs one was only a supporter. They had played it together, I didn't understood anything, and now I like amon amarth more than before
awesome!! thank you Guitar World for give this lesson!! Next time if you would, please bring Alexi Laiho of CoB or Abbath of Immortal!! They are both good guitarist...
@RandomGuitarist96 the sweeds learn English from a very early age, they have a lot of British media on their TV networks and it's just subbed or dubbed.
When he says a standard explorer does that mean its a 25.5" scale? It seems a little weird since they play so detuned. Maybe that's why they play such thick strings?
This is how you can differentiate between a European musician and a musician from the United States. Being polite and speaking with respect does not stop you from being a metalhead.
I like the brutal honesty. Typical Amon Amarth song. While I didn't find the last album (Surtur Rising) as good or new in any way, I like the fact that they admit to the typical factor as well.
Yea I agree. I love Amon Amarth and BVB isn't really my preference of music. I just think people should stop bashing other bands just cause its not in their taste. No one is forcing anyone to listen to music they don't like.

@@TheOriginalCFA1979 Oh, boo-hoo. 🤷♂️
@@nckhed shut up
Рот не заткнёшь ни кому,хрен с ними
i love how humble they are... awesome guys. glad i had the opportunity to meet them.
Saw them live. Killer show.. these guys are amazing, great sound.
I love these guys and the whole band! I truly appreciate them for taking the time to do this video.

Words, and speaking are not for vikings
+Németh Ádám only runes
They are also pretty impressive at burning churches
Or for people whose first language isn't English.
@@nemethadam8125 Funny how'd they never touch a single mosque or synagogue. 🙄
Toki and skiwsgaar
Johan was really cool when I met him. really nice guy!
3:13 when you're trying hard not to laugh in a serious situation

Olavi has his pickup selector taped in place. Looks like the center position, which is both pickups on. That gives him a much wider tone for chords.
I love coming from sweden and being able to be proud of awesome guys like these :)

3:13 dat grin on his face though.
aww he's having fun :D
Put these dudes on a set of Game of Thrones, they'll blend in immediately.
Idk about the others but vocalist Johan Hegg was cast in a movie (Northmen: A Viking Saga)
I love how they keep it the way amorth amarth typical sound lovely
man, i love their explorers, looks amazing

+lio nik yes i like the way they natually explainthe song :D very focused and nervous :D
haha yeah.
no
Gerald Wayne why ?
You'd be nervous too if English wasn't your native language. All things considered, I think they did okay.
These guys just broke the down to earth world record.
D'addario. I've never tried them but so many bands love them for detuning and big gauges.
Their sound in this video is awesome actually.
Just came here from a black veil brides guitar lesson for some reason. But anyway amon amarth has HEALED my ears!!!

I love these guys and their music! MORE MORE MORE
Never! You wish you could be as awesome as Amon Amarth
this is badass to the max. they even have viking names

I want Olavi Mikkonen guitar sooooo badly!
@IhasMetal the rest of it is on their website
Sooooooooooooooooo GENERIC!!
@gibsonfan3
Certainly agree. Their tutorial is good and playing is tight as a whip, as usual.
@MRMOOD3 u've really gotta check them out live. Believe me, they kick ass.
They are techically from a few different countries in the same area that was originally called Scandinavia.
killer song, check out the other two parts of the video.
so godlike... AMON AMARTH !! I LOVE YOU !!!
awesome!! thank you Guitar World for give this lesson!! Next time if you would, please bring Alexi Laiho of CoB or Abbath of Immortal!! They are both good guitarist...
@RandomGuitarist96 the sweeds learn English from a very early age, they have a lot of British media on their TV networks and it's just subbed or dubbed.
@deathcore1239 They don't use their own amps at Guitar World. They use whatever they have set up for their interviews and lessons
i love those guys!! it's like Skwissgarr and Toki!!!!!
And we are Amon Amarth :)
That whole intro is just so awkward hahaha I love these guys.
Sometimes simple is best. I really like this it's catchy
@filippandkevin I think its so that the neck PU isnt enganged accidentally. It looks like its taped to the bride PU. Just my theory.
the Guitar World website, search Amon Amarth, will be in a list of links.
@IhasMetal because they have a lesson of pursuit of vikings too! xD
@DrEviscerator666
Olavi Mikkonen (most likely finnish) and Johan Söderberg (swedish)
@CobrazVeNoMx is "pursuit of the vikings"
@spartan934 yes but listen to how he phrased it, 'a guy called Aibrush Studios'
@Carnifex11100 yeah, i've seen bunch of live version of Roope's solo, and I couldn't seem to figure out why the solo sounded so different......
These guys are what Brendon Small must have modeled the Swedish metal guys on Metalocalypse after! Toki and Skwisgaar would be proud.
@mokadesx They cut the sound for the video to get to the next part, there`s nothing weird there.
@taila1976 most deff. drop b, b-e-a-d-f#-b from 6th string to 1st string
"It was made by a guy in Stockholm called "Airbrushed Studio Stockholm"" :P
Lmfao
Thank you Dethklok!
I like how olavi just looks really sad as well xD
Underbar!! Ja har en Gibson Explorer :-) When you guys will play in Motreal
great band they are.
very cool!
Made by Sana,one of the Vikings we use on stage?!
Use.On.Stage....WTF mate?
They are Swedish. English is not their first language.
I had a chuckle when he said that. I almost pissed myself when reading this comment though.
JustAGamerA The guy who said that, Olavi Mikkonen, is actually Finnish.
+GexxOn
They use actors who play vikings on stage during their live shows. I think that's what he meant, made perfect sense to me.
this guys make the real deal of viking metal
I wonder if they are going to start using the baritone explorers now that they are out, or the 7 strings?
Olavi is so fucking awesome
When he says a standard explorer does that mean its a 25.5" scale? It seems a little weird since they play so detuned. Maybe that's why they play such thick strings?
I regonize from olavis voice that hes finish, and he got an badass shirt! King Diamond yeaah!
lesson starts at 2:33
@NoPancakeMix54 True, instead axes and shields they use guitars and drums now. :)
can anyone tell me what string they use? i really couldnt quiet understand, my audio isnt the best
amazing guitars..........
They are very cool guys but why does Ola have black tape on the tip where the pick-selector is located :p
@agony664
Well, they've got like some vikings on stage. One of those guys has done the paint job for Olavi's Explorer.
@zgf12345 for standard B i`m sure they use something like 60 at least on the low E, tried going B on 56 but it just went really floppy :P
This is how you can differentiate between a European musician and a musician from the United States. Being polite and speaking with respect does not stop you from being a metalhead.
3.08 Do you reallize the guy behind is still playing while the music stop??
@mokadesx yea but when correcting sound , the sound guy must have chopped of his part from sound
Söderberg forever
@ArseLoad0fMetal666 he said airbrush studios STOCKHOLM, as in the company where he got it done
I like the brutal honesty. Typical Amon Amarth song. While I didn't find the last album (Surtur Rising) as good or new in any way, I like the fact that they admit to the typical factor as well.
@YagoShimoda well when you have a fan base that big let me know and send me a link to your album I'd love to hear your band
I LOVE THIS EXPLORER VIKING DRAGON GUITAR, MY GOD, I NEED IT!!!
Yea I agree. I love Amon Amarth and BVB isn't really my preference of music. I just think people should stop bashing other bands just cause its not in their taste. No one is forcing anyone to listen to music they don't like.
even though they have a real muddy sound, I still love it
Sounds Nice ^^ i like your guitars
We show you how to play songs from te suralbum, our new euh album surtur rising
Does anyone know of you can buy the Viking dragon guitar and if so can you tell me where?
I love amon amarth!
@SplashOfVomit pretty much!
Cool gonna try learn this

Not so good not right frame mood being surgery in 3 days
@Gnartrand i listen to both amon amarth AND black veil brides, dont hate
where can i found you're lesson for pursuit of vikings ??:p part 2 ??
This is awesome
Standard Gibson Explorer, so 1x 500T Humbucker and 1x 496R Humbucker
@vikingsreturn and that 3 times they talk to you like in this video?
electric guitar, piano & bass guitar with Joey DeMaio ... these r the fucking best instruments ever invented :)
@SKULLEDBUICK You have to give it to the Black veil brides guitarists, they do know their way around the guitar.
Their guitars are amazing, want xD
What is the song playing at the intro to the video, holy heavy!!!!
Pursuit of Vikings!
Its only Amon Amarth's anthem.....easily their most famous song.
Cam Rehman New fan, sorry.
