Much love Ryan ❤
There should be a coffee with Ola the fluff.
Crazy to think how Ola is still at the forefront 14 years later.
Ola’s explanation of issues with Scarlett and DAW recording in 2013-on were lifesavers
Oh man this takes me back… it’s been a hell of a ride bro! Thanks for highlighting some of the cool content that I loved watching as I started out ❤
The beauty of Ola’s early gear demo videos was that he was actually using all of that gear to showcase his original songs/ riffs. Most videos would feature a full length song. I think a lot of us tuned in because we were interested in the gear itself, but I kept coming back to hear his music. I could say the same thing about Keith and a lot of the others. Most UA-cam guitarists today are just salesmen and not actually showing off anything creatively anymore.
Also, I used to watch Kris Barocsi’s video of him playing his Edward’s Alexi Laiho model into his 6505 constantly.
To this very day, I remember sitting in school, thinking about Keiths and Olas stuff. I would have Andromeda by Keith Merrow stuck in my head for weeks, if not months. During school, I could not focus because those riffs were so fresh and heavy for me at that time and printed into my brain. The most important thing however was the fact, that those guys were just some regular dudes. I always wanted to play in a band but could never find someone in my area. So these two showed me, that you can be your own band. Today I'm doing the same stuff that Ola and Keith were doing - recording Metal at home, mixing it, uploading it on UA-cam.
The 3 most important videos for me from that time are: Keith Merrow - Andromeda, Olas video, where he plays an Ibanez RG7 into a Mesa Boogie Dual Rec and later where he demos the Line 6 POD HD Pro where he sits on the couch playing Skyrim. I could not believe the sound these two dudes where getting out of their gear. Those were the days.
Fluff I think you’ve shaped modern day guitar UA-cam more than anyone. Back in the day I don’t remember anyone pumping out the consistent FAQs every week that you were. Now almost every big guitar channel is following the format and schedule that made your channel a success. YOU are the model of success everyone looked to. And FEW of them are as entertaining as you are. You’re every bit a GOAT as Ola, my man!
FLUFF!!! SO many thanks for the shout out. One of my FAVORITE NAMM memories was running into you at Coco's. It was the middle of the night, everyone was hungry and there you were. Thanks for ALL you've done and do to make UA-cam a better place - OUTSTANDING is the best word to describe you and your work. And again, MANY thanks for the for kind words:)
Ola is an amazing human! Thank you for doing what you do, it’s appreciated.
I watched you and Ola’s Mesa Boogie MKIV video right before I bought mine in 2012 or 2013 and have been subbed since.
That deserves a free shirt or something
@@douglasdog1 Haha. I dunno. It just seemed full circle. There were no good videos of Mesa Boogie anything back then.
Ive been watching youtube guitarvideos since 2009 (Phil X, Guitar World, etc) and I have never seen these. I dont think Ive seen an Ola Englund video until 2016
So inspiring! Thanks for sharing!🤘🏻 Beard on sir.
I remember back in 2013 messaging you on Facebook about the ART TPSII you were using at the time and you continued being super open with any questions I had from then through 2015 and I really appreciated that ❤ I think I originally recall finding you while searching for videos on the Line 6 POD HD Pro and you rocking your white Schecter Solo model. I remember Keith's rise specifically during the time where Agile guitars was REALLY blowing up. Then came Ola and others. The late 2000s into the early 2010s were a good time.
I remember finding Ola's video of the Dual Rec vs ENGL Savage video, that honestly changed the course of my life of what guitar tone could be and what it could be from your own home. I must have been 14 or 15 at the time and have been a fan girl ever since. Him and Keith's stuff honestly probably help form my idea of my current career choice of audio engineering. Always will respect them!
Oddly enough, I found UA-cam guitar stuff because of Joey Jordison getting booted from Slipknot. While I was watching the news video, one of the videos in the suggested videos tab was Krimh doing a Slipknot audition video.
One of the videos in the suggested videos tab was that collaboration video with Ola Englund. Among his most recent videos were those demo of the Chapman 7-strings. That led me to Rob Chapman.
Rob Chapman was the one who pioneered the concept of endorsing UA-cam guitar channels, and giving guitars for them to use on the channel. That was what introduced me to Rabea Massaad, Rob Scallon, and YOU.
To think Joey Jordison being booted from Slipknot would lead me to YOUR channel...Amazing.
Those videos are what inspired me to expand my guitar/music knowledge. I was in college and at that point just playing for fun and playing Slipknot on my MIM Strat. Then I found one of Chapper's videos about modes. I always wanted to learn music theory, but I never had the space in my schedule to take a class. This was around 2011, so he was also starting to make content with Andertons, so I started picking more instrument knowledge, how an amp works, how pedals affect the sound. That led me expand out to other channels, learned how to setup a guitar watching Phil McNight, learned how guitars were made watching Ben Crowe in his garden shed (which led me to picking up wood working), learning about recording with Fluff, seeing how music can just be fun with Rob Scallon, finding new music via Animals as Leaders and Periphery. It was so exciting.
you and Ola are the reason we watch these videos , you are both amazing and have been through the years ..thank you
Crazy that you inspired me like Ola inspired you! Full circle or something like that. 🤘
Fluff, two old video of yours that really impacted me were the demos for the Line 6 M5! The mellow and the metal. Loved the concept of using various effects from the unit in an actual song, really stood out!
We should all go back and watch our own OG videos. This guy right here though, Mr. Fluff has taught me half the shit I know now. Thank you sir for everything!!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane, I remember binge watching all of these guys when I first came across them years ago
Still remember those Ola and Keith videos, watched lot of those back in the day. Anyone remember the Best Guitar Improvisation by David MeShow? Guy rocked with Gibson SG
What a cool video. Looking back at what inspired you and how the UA-cam guitar machine was formed was a great watch. Thanks for sharing this.
I would love to see you do another one of these with older "how to play" type videos. I learned how to play so many songs/solos from Chris Zoupa like 10 years ago, and he still drops occasional videos.
Yea,I've always loved Olas tone and just songs in general...Just killer like you said "G.O.A.T"👍 Thanks Fluff for the awesome video, Brotha!!!
Ahh, nostalgia, these youngins have a lot to learn
You, Ola, and Keith are pretty much what I thought “ holy crap, they’re awesome!” This was over a decade ago when I first heard three of you guys. Ola first, then Keith and you. Now, over a decade later, wow, times has changed a lot
Despite being for storefront (now defunct), I gotta give credit to Andy Martin (Pro Guitar Shop) for being one of the pedal/gear demo pioneers back when UA-cam was still brand new. His work definitely inspired countless channels with real effort put into the audio and photography.
Oh yes without question
Oh, man, I remember those old Ola videos. I remember I was shopping for my first android phone around that time 😅
Goes to show how much of a detailed person Ola is.
Man.. Guys like you use to inspired me to play the guitar so much. Thanks for the vids all these years.
This one brings back some memories. Thanks Fluff!! Always love watching your videos dude.
Gearmanndude had to have been one of the first I remember. More about pedals but still an early example
Yep, GMD, Burgs and Andy from PGS were the early pedal demo OG's.
Back in 2008, Kent Carlevi blew me away with his fantastic Ed Van Halen replicating. Plus, he had a beautiful Music Man Axis in that green color....
Bro, this brings back some memories lol. That periphery vid almost made me tear up. Cool vid bro
If you spell Ola sideways, it will spell out as GOD. I don't normally 'like' your videos, but with Ola in it, I press like.
You were the first guitar-tuber I ever subscribed to! I had to go and check when I first subscribed to you, and it was back in Feb 2014!
I think for me it was your Riff Wars videos with Rob Scallion that started me wanting to make videos but I really didn't try until the last couple of years Thanks to Ola and his riff challenge stuff...btw he kinda politely told me I needed to work on my mix skills to do better. yes my channel sucks but the world is a weird place.
I was just watching your Bugera trirec power amp tube video yesterday and it is absolutely WILD to see how vastly different on camera you are now...I noticed that with a lot of OG youtubers, the personalities become more comfortable/personable on camera.
Hearing Kris play hearts burst into fire in that video in 2009 was my introduction to BFMV, and was basically responsible for getting me into metalcore
It would be cool if this idea continued in a way!! Like the next video it’d be cool to see the first videos you worked on/made/ or collated on that helped you out!!
Iv been watching your channel for a long time now At the moment this is my favorite guitar related channel the content has been original and very entertaining keep up the hard work man.
Keith worked with SD for quite a while too! A lot of people still don't know that, he was really helpful to me when I emailed them once about a custom pickup that they didn't mass produce.
Great! Please show more of these videos.
No chapters, you fiend! I’m an old man and I’m running low on minutes. In life. Minutes in life.😜 Horns up punk! Enjoyed
Just watch at 1.5x speed :)
Keith and Ola are the reason I wanted to do UA-cam, 100%
Cool vid Fluff. Really enjoyed it!
I actually bought that ESP Eclipse because of that video...its so sick
Man, lighting really has improved.
The first thing that comes to mind for me is the "Insanely Amazing Guitar Solo" guy
Ha i remember ola playing with with a white ibanez on which he left the tag on the head stock. He never spoke and always used the microsoft sam voice in his videos. Times flies
I've followed your channel since the days we could send private messages to other youtubers and i remember you answering a question about the maxon od808 i think ( it was on my old youtube account ). Time flies
I used to watch a lot of Musicman1066, now Finn Maxwell, back in the day. Dude always posted tabs, had good recordings, good sound and never shied away from telling how he did stuff. Even had an entire section on his website with FAQ about what he did. And if you asked something else related in the comments he'd be pretty fast to answer too. Learned a lot about guitars from him and his videos. Think he's a guitar teacher now, which suits his behavior.
I remember watching Achokarlos in 2006 and being introduced to so many bands through his covers.
Nutty to think how long ago that was now and that he's still active.
This was a really fun video, thanks fluff!
Very cool! Doug is the man!
16:28 - "Hi! Artie Fufkin, Polymer Records"
Your Video on the Amoonn Pock Rock brings back memories that was Class 👍®️
Never seems Keith’s video.
The production, the tone, the riff!
Man!!!
Nice Topic, nice Video. But you know its not complete without funtwo canon. :D This was at least my first real UA-cam Guitar Video I watched over and over again 15 years ago.
Fluff!!! I want more of these videos! I enjoyed these so much! So good & badass! Thank you!
Madonna (Dick tracy): I want mooooorrrrrreeee!!!! Lol
🤘😎🎸
Repping STP! Love it!
Started playing in 2015. Didn’t really get into the UA-cam guitar channels until like 2017-2018.
Don’t really remember the first one I watched but ola, andertons/rob chapman and you were some first.
Now I watch nik nocturnal, Andrew baena, lambchopper, Kyle bull, Xander Raymon Charles, rebea etc
Find it funny that groove/death metal basically started it all
What’s really crazy is, the metal sound really hasn’t changed in over 10 years of UA-cam history. Shstyfft still sounds the same.
HI MR.FLUFF...
I saw you play a VGS soulmaster 7 in an 11 year's old video...😅
I have the 6 string version of this guitar and wanna replace the "backdraft" humbucker with a lundgren pickup for those meshuggah like palm mutes...
BUT WICH LUNDGREN WOULD YOU PUT IN the soulmaster...?
what is it this audio quality from Olaaa??? This thing is PRISTINE CRYSTAL DIAMOND AUDIO JEEEEESH. btw definition of pristine in dictionary: original and pure; not spoiled or worn from use.
“Jack Black” with no reverb and white coily cable of love. If you know, you know.
Keith’s pillars of creation was wild when it first came out
And ola’s strictly 7 is still something I want
The level of every video quality and quality of playing is so high it makes me want to quit. The gap is so big makes me feel inadequate.
Cool ass vid Mr Fluff :D
michael angelo batio has the keys to the lamborghini in “speed kills”
Rob Chapman is giving off heavy Matt Berry vibes here
Young Nolly I'm crying 🤣🤣🤣
Were you the first Evertune video on UA-cam? That old VGS guitar.
Man, I come from the Hot Licks era. Cats have it so good today \../
For me it’s that red room, white Schecter solo 6, and the Orange OR100.
Fear Complex Music was another OG whose channel never blew up, but they had great songs and guitar tones, and was possibly the first UA-camr to show you could get great tones out of software amp sims, which were almost universally considered s**t 14 years ago..
Dude Doug Dopplers song Starcrossed Lovers is a cool instrumental guitar song
OG videos for me were Misha, Ryansiew and KillrBuckeye
Ahh... Remember when podHD pro is da shïtz!🤭 I always want one! Until I get to know software amplifier with IR loader, which I remember knowing that from Jared Dines
I don't know who this Akerlund guy is, but yeah. Way to go...
@Ola Englund do a recreate with COFFEE WITH FLUFF!!!!!!
That's why all the planes are losing parts. 😉
No no I was there before that😂
Shoutout to guitar gnosis. His channel isn’t up anymore but iykyk
Shocked there was no mention about Andy from proguitarshop
I def could have listed another 6 or 7 channels!
What about all those paul gilbert videos from back in the day lol
Bring back the beard files
>OG videos
>videos from 2012-2013
>fuck im old
Esp is so dope
You mean back before it got over run with ads, promotions, selling classes and patreon where every five minutes the person in the video is asking you to buy something?
Those were the days
Keith Merrow always stood out in those early guitar UA-cam days. The quality of the Riffs certainly outweighed the video quality, literally 240 lol
PS The song Keith is playing is called Top Romulan 👌
Nothing about rob chapman has aged well
No Scott Grove?
How the fuck does young Nolly manage to look older than old Nolly?
Killrbuckeye was great too
Ola! Please Responge! 😅
Nothing against Ola because he's definitely awesome & his content rocks! I've met him at NAMM a couple of times & he was way cool in person.
I don't believe he's the G.O.A.T. I would actually give that to Phil X with Fretted Americana. He & Dustin Jack were creating killer videos in the early days of UA-cam & had around 44 million views when Phil left.
They were def pioneers. I think for me the fact Phil was 'demoing' $500k guitars put him in a different category tho haha
@RiffsAndBeards OK yeah I did think about that after I posted my reply. I do remember at that time Ola & Robert Baker were doing their thing in their apartments.
Man, a real classic for me is Fluff's "Randall Thrasher -Demo" ua-cam.com/video/brr6UwP9zdc/v-deo.htmlsi=41JGkgEmCkvwZK7A I really, really enjoy the riffs and tone in this video, has a lot of attitude from the get go...
No KillrBuckeye videos?!?
I don't know who that is haha
@@RiffsAndBeards He’s worth looking at! I believe he was even recognized in Guitar World!
POD HD pro video plz fluff.
Boooooooommmmmmeeerrrrrr alert
