Have a great day guys!
You to Ola!
Thanks. Stay gnarly.
I’m not a member but can you see my messages ola
.esiwekiL 😊
no u
Hi Ola! it’s great to see your guitars expanding in japan. i can physically experience them ! great job Ola!
The headstock on the G shape is amazing. It makes that shape of guitar stand out in the absolute ocean of LP style guitars.
wow the weather behind those curtains looks so nordic.. moved to Helsinki a couple of years ago and yeah mostly grey and misserable like that with the odd nice day XD
Kudos for dem timestamps!
Love the charvel Ola! Your videos make it so much easier to deal with covid running through my hole house ( my five year old and myself… praying the wife and two other kids stay safe) thank you Ola!
Ola!
Totally agree with your reasoning! Family first. I love the office format Dude! You’ve done a fantastic job of putting things together for a quality show. I really appreciate all the hard work.
Goodmorning Ola! Love the content you put on your channel. Keep it up!! Rock on always!
I dig everything you do with your channel and how you do it, keep up the great work! And BTW - that Solar G is ridiculously cool, think I need to buy one of those.
Smart, not showing your personal home. At the same time I'd like to see more of Sweden in general! 😃
Thanks a lot for answering my questions! Very appreciate it! 🤘🤘🤘
Totally agree with the point u made about not showing ur private life. Being a dad makes u look at things very differently!
Hey Ola.. I recently moved into a new BIG house where I had the chance to have a studio room. I just finished powering up the room and starting checking out gear video's and found your channel. So far I've watched many of your video's and I have to say they all are very informative. You sir, spell it out like it needs to be.. Hello from Alabama USA..
Duuuuuude! I totally do that while watching tv too!! It has made a monumental difference in 20 years
Re: learning to play by ear. I think one factor that affects your ability to do so, is the age at which you started noticing stuff in the music you'd listen to. The younger, the better. Then again, it also depends how much you like to pay attention to smaller details in general. Source: my own experience O:)
As for how to train it... One way to go about it, is to take your favorite songs and start dissecting them. Try to listen for every little detail. You think, for example, that a song is tuned to Drop D? Maybe you'll find something to show you that it's infact tuned to Standard D instead. You think you hear a fretted note? Maybe it's an open one. You think you hear a power-chord lower than the suggested tuning? Maybe it's just an inverted one (looking at you folks, Dime, Jeff Loomis and Michael Romeo!). And so on, and so forth.
Another way would be, to find guitar tabs for your favorite songs and compare what you see on the tab, to what you actually hear on the record. As an added bonus you'll be surprised to see how the majority of guitar tabs out there are just plain wrong :D
And especially nowadays, run your favorite songs through a DAW, isolate the left and right channels, cancel the center, flip the phase... ANYTHING you can think of!
Hi Ola, love all your music. Great channel as well. I noticed you got more ink. Can you show the new tattoos? Thanks Ola. You rock brother
Much respect for keeping your home and family private.
You're the king of guitar channels and I watch like ten or so
Bought a pair of Behringer B3030A a while ago because of you and I love those.
I agree with your decision to keep your home private, it only takes one maniac to F up everything. That being said I was also curious about the new homestead.
I forgot about your new place, hope you've had fun building and keeping yourself busy :)
Amen on the private family stuff...we dont need to know, and I bet everyone understands
I believe Adam Neely said the keys for being able to learn music by ear are to audiate and develop relative pitch. Hear the music in your head without needing to hear it live, and understand the different note intervals like a major third, minor third, perfect fifth, etc. It does take practice, but it's a great skill for all musicians to have.
Listen to what you want to learn.
Over and over.
HelllllllllllllllYeaaaaaaahhhhhhh !!!🤘🏿that G shape is siiiiiiick the way it is and never change the headstock🤘🏿😈
I fully get the privacy thing and support that but the cart needs to come to the office then.
Love my LSR305's. They're really clear with a pretty flat response. They also provide an excellent sound stage.
Ola! Love your channel you’re doing good things for the guitar community. When you practice what do you focus on the most?
I didn’t want a Solar G until you held that one up. Now it’s all I can think about.
nice to hear about the house. a good decision to stay more private. i was just wondering lately if it still exists at all.
I personally LOVE THE REVERSE HEADSTOCK. No changes necessary for any body shape. Besides they present the tuners in a very convenient way
I love the pointy headstock on the G shaped guitar myself?¿? In my personal opinion...I love it!
Man I’ve went though a lot of your videos. I’ve got many more to go. You sir have done Dime a great amount of respect and love. I’m the type of guy I stick to one person to watch on UA-cam in each genre. And my guitar guy is Rob. But after stumbling across you as I hunt down all the dime stuff i watch. You kept pulling up and popping up every time I hunt for Dime bag stuff. And I a super fan of Dime. I’m a guitar player for 27 years. I play everything from heavy metal to blue. My birthday is in August also. Mine is the 2nd. Just minus the 0 lol. But I’m a fan dude. You’re doing an awesome job and I’m subbed. I will just have to have two guitar channels
So nice to see Henrik Danhage's signature Charvel in the video. Both Henrik and his guitar model deserve more attention!
The Solar headstock reminds me of an 80s brand called "Series 10" headstocks. It looks good. Not quite Jackson, but not quite Washburn.
For anyone else curious about the studio monitors, those LYD 8 from Dynaudio are pretty damn kick ass. I went with those over the adam a7x and haven't looked back...yet. Trust your ears and stick with whatever you get long enough to listen to everything you can on them.
FAQ: Have you listened band Acid Bath? Their album 'When the Kite String Pops' is probably one of my favorite albums.
this charvel sounds amazing !!
Love the Henrik axe!!!!
FAQ: How often should one change strings when in a recording phase? I love the idea of just picking up the guitar and working my way through a song when I have time, but I don't want the hazzle of changing strings all the time.
The Solar guitars are the best looking guitars ever . The one I got feels great too. Even where the guitar strap goes on is very comfortable. Can't wait to get me another one. Need a floyd rose solar so I can drop some dive bombs 💣.
FAQ: when is the Solar X shape coming out? Selfish suggestion: one fixed bridge and one floyd/single humbucker 6 string version. Solar + pickup. I think a couple of us want that. Cheers!!!
FAQ: What happened with the Nocturno Culto signature model? Did I miss something or it's just taking long? Love your videos Ola
Just to give a tip about the JBL monitor, I use the 306 model and they're great. I'm really satisfied with the sound quality.
Love the tone😀❤sicc💥💥
HeLL-O Ola! Totally respect your decision about the privacy of your family, BUT… What about the caravan? 😄 I really loved those off grid ideas! Would you do an acoustic session in the caravan? Pleaaaaaase! Just one little 🥹
Take care,
A fan from Belgium.
(there’s a filter on the profile pic)
Oh man I’ve wanted that G series for a while! Pretty sure I’ll be getting a Solar next!
That pic almost hit me in the eye 👁 😤
Questions for FAQ! What would you consider your personal masterpiece? Lord’s resistance army and the sun and the moon come to mind! Also, can you do a olas learns of Aesthetics of hate by machine head?! And also, a camo trucker cap with the orange ola logo on it like your tshirt would definitely get bought! Your the man ola!
@ola It would be a sweet video to see you take the guitar you love the most from a pure sound perspective and move that guitars pickup to the the guitar you like the least 😉
Thanks for a great video as always. Be safe and skilful. Pinge
I support your choice to not put your home and family out there for others to watch. Privacy is not open to the public…because it’s private!!!!
You rock!!!
3:00 love the reverse headstock but I do agree with the question, it looks out of place with the les paul body.
FAQ : I was wondering, what was Louise's initial reaction way back when you first told her that you wanted to start your own guitar based UA-cam channel and own your own guitar company and have all that as your main gig? Thanks, I enjoy watching your videos.
Finally a proper Strat.
If I was a recording artist I would do live recording in the studio.
Did you know that Sepultura Roots was a studio live recording?
FAQ: HI OLA!
FIRST OF ALL THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO,LOVE YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
Did you ever got in argue/fight with any of your bandmates in all bands you were in and in bands you are now?
Greetings from Serbia! 💜
The House - Excellent choice you crazy Swed ;D
FAQ!! Ola, do you ever go through phases of not liking anything you play? I find it difficult in recent times to keep playing and enjoy it. I just wonder what you do to overcome any challenges with your playing if you have any?
Love your videos!!
🤘
Hi Ola! Recording softwares review series, maybe? 😃
Dude Hello from Newfoundland Canada.
Hey ola, your bald photo for tha news please why hasn’t the image been put on something for merch? It’s gold and I love seeing it put it on a t shirt for us fans
about your guitar and headstock, I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT and some DO NOT LIKE CHANGE and those people are the ones crabbing about it, love it all ,thank you is what he should say so I will , love it and all you do GO OLA, #TAEMNOSLEEP U.S.A., ROCHESTER, NY
Pickups review 👌
You said it, its only my opinion, however, a symetric solar looking headstock (3r/3l) would kick so much @§§! ;) keep up the great work! You're DA DUDE!
FAQ!!!!
Those JBL’s are amazing value. I love mine
yeah they sound really balanced and just like a studio monitor should :) not too much low end on the smaller model but they do the job. One should also not rely on 1 pair of speakers as a song needs to be tested on many speaker systems to see how the song works.
I want one of your axes! I am going to save up I just decided!
I own a Solar 1.6 BLB as u see in my profile pic….by far the nicest looking headstock of my guitars. Also the best guitar I own when coming to playability, the guitar is just awesome. Hey OLA, bought it over a year ago, I WANT A CHUG DAMPENER!!! To the guy asking about the JBL’s. I own the same ones. May I suggest upgrading to the 5” speaker and not the 3”. I have the 3” which sound good but when pushing the high end sometimes I get a pop sound from the speaker.
I think the Solar headstock is sexy, I wish i had money to buy one. Some day, some day...
Exactly, keep your private stuff private, you share more than enough as it is.
Ola, I was just watching your VLOGs on touring and when you were in Tokyo. I LOVE those videos seeing other parts of the world. Would you show us around Sweden? It seems like a beautiful country. I also hope when you are traveling for work you will VLOG for us. I really enjoy your stuff! Do you like Judas Priest you never talk about them?
I can see a solar x shape in my future..... With a floyd. Talking to you Ola
I really feel you should give master classes in business schools to share your experience on building a sustainable and diversified business out of your passion. Would probably help a lot of people stop being obsessed by consulting companies and banking.
FAQ: Hi Ola, the new A1.7BOP-FF looks awesome, always wanted an extended range fanfret, but are there plans to make an 8 string version anytime soon? Would be an instant buy for me.
Nice
Nice annular Ola
Your Strat is the "uncle that played in a band in the 70s" to Henrik's Charvel. haha
I like your head stocks, just wish you did an option without the 12th fret logo inlay.
All cool. Anyone should keep out their kids from the internet. That’s smart. Good for you, but more important - good for them.
Btw I love the headstock.
as far questions about studio monitors, I'd go watch either Fluff or Glenn/SMG
My man said “good talk!” \m/,
🤘🤘
Q4: how much in your opinion is sound/tone effected by the actual length of a cable when it comes to guitar?
Hi Ola, have you ever thought of doing a top 5 of gear you enjoy. Would be cool to hear what guitars, amps and pedals that you enjoy.
FAQ! Ola! That new 29" scale baritone looks great. Can it handle a set of bass VI strings so I could tune it E-E in the bass octave?
G shape makes the LP style look like metal dagger!!!
Ooo is that a peach guitars shirt?? 🤘
FAQ! Ola, who plays bass on your albums? (Feared, solo albums etc)
Hope you're doing well, Ola!
Just bought my first Solar, an S1.6PPB. Looks absolutey awesome and feels fantastic. Still not completely sold on the Evertune (right off the bat I broke the high E string while trying to get to the bend spot; maybe my ears are just disfunct, but I could have sworn I was still in Zone 2 when it broke). Restrung it with 10s and managed to keep all the strings alive that time. Still, I was sweating with every turn on the high E! Anyways, the guitar overall was just too good to pass on because of the bridge, so I'll see if I can get used to it.
That being said: Why on earth is a guitar looking that great not available with a basic hard tail? :D
Solar SG type would look incredible lol 👀
nice
I kinda agree with the comment on G shaped guitar. Maybe my opinion is biased because of how we all think of Les Pauls, but it does look a little weird. It's like two different guitars glued together, it's not blending.
Please make a review of the Caparison MJR model :). Or an Angelus, sick model aswell! Btw, how do you rate Caparison against other Japanese brands(ESP, Ibanez..)? Ha en fortsatt underbar dag maestro!
Not venturing into the Recording OB and monitor kit is the smartest thing I've heard you say. It's a very unnecessary rabbit-hole and I had major GAS for years, so know from first hand experince lol. After so many years, I finally got off the crack pipe. Guys, most of all the great outboard gear you see advertised in the end is redundant from brand A ~ Z. The degrees of separation are so minimal that most people won't hear if it's Neve Vs API for e.g. blah blah blah.. Get good kit, for sure! but don't sweat the need for a million "flavours" - - that term is such a cliche. You want to add a new flavour in the mix? Plugins. EzPz.. Just get a great sound goin IN and the rest is gravy.
Like you I have Dynaudio BM5A MKI (the originals) and I don't need monitors. I've used these for 12 yrs and ain't hankering for anything new - and as a working AE back in the day, I've used most of the usual suspects out there from UREI mains to Barefoot MM27s when they first dropped. Everyday on Genelec 8040s (and 8020s for mobile gigs) for 4yrs as well as 1032a's in the past. I never sweat the monitors. Just would bring music I was familiar with but I highly recommend the BM5As as they can be had for a great deal used and are rock solid.
Value for money.... Mexican made charvels are best in the business. Ebony finger board/Ash body San dimas axes are out of this world 🤘🏿
I really want to support solar, I love the designs and have heard so many really good things, I realllly really hope there's a headless multiscale solar eventually
I think it’s impossible to have an Evertune on a headless guitar, because you set the string tension on the bridge with a headless, but you can’t set the string tension on the bridge with an Evertune, because the Evertune is already setting everything else on the bridge. Evertune has to use the headstock tuners to set the tension.
Also, with Evertune, it defeats the whole purpose of having multiscale, because multiscale is designed to have lower string tension on the high strings and high string tension on the low strings. Evertune is designed so that you can set the string tension for each individual string, so Multiscale on an Evertune equipped guitar is superfluous.
I had 386 later on switched for pentium 90 with turbo button and man... that was sick as f***
I agree with the commenter, I also don't like Fender style headstocks (all tuners on one side) on LP style guitars. But I probably wouldn't buy the Solar LP anyways, so there's that. I prefer the strat and tele style Solars.
FAQ: I recently got into books again and was curious if you have any specific books you read/are reading or even if you enjoy reading. Right now I'm reading Yukio Mishima (as recommended to me).
Hola Ola!
FAQ: Hey Ola! How do you deal with making mistakes in your solos when playing live? I've experienced that sometimes there's a huge difference between playing and rehearsing at home and playing shows where you only have one chance to nail the solo. Do you have special mental techniques to prepare yourself before the solo comes and are you very critical of yourself or do you tend to "forgive" minor and/or major mistakes? Take care and keep up your excellent work!
