Also suggest what song you want me to do in an upcoming Ola Learns!
Learn a Hate Eternal song, like behold judas or locust swarm
Or any Arsis song from we are the nightmare
I'd love to see you learn a Revocation song like "Of Unworldly Origin" or "The Grip Tightens". Any song by them really.
Gojira - Backbone to test your gallops
Next song Mick Gordon BFG Division.
Learn Blood Red Throne - Homicidal Ecstacy or Bolt Thrower - When Cannons Fade. Also, huge fan of Vogg so I loved the video man!!! 🤘🏻
"The solo is pretty straightforward, it's just a bunch of notes" - Ola the Guitarerer
I laughed out loud at that part lol
"You can tell how to play the solo because of how it is."
well he wasnt wrong
lmao
Such called Western music itself, contains only 12 notes. I have learned it, not that long ago, after playing guitar, for almost 50 years. Shame on me🤭
Vogg is one of death metal's best guitarists. Dudes a fucking cyborg with that picking hand. Props to Ola big time
Have seen it live, can confirm. Like listening to a dude run a jackhammer.
And the groooove
Lol I just realized I basically wrote the same comment, in a different way
@@nickmcgarvey6463 Same. Saw him live with Machine Head and he was on fire the entire show
Check out the dude from Iced Earth, his right hand is also insane. If you ignore the fact that he's a Trumper who got arrested at the Capitol riots...
4:20
"I'm gonna be completely honest. This is probably gonna take longer than I initially thought".
Me anytime I learn something new
And that was at 50%
😂😂😂
Rest in Peace Ola's arm.
The problem has to lie in the fact that all the picking comes from Vogg's wrist and not his arm. That's the key
well spotted!
Yes sir, glad i learned the technique.
Not to be a smartass but.. yes actually to be a smartass, my recent 2 'shorts' are playing this intro at 110 and 120 percent. I did try to get good shot of my picking hand
Tension still builds up in the arm from stabilizing the wrist. At least for me
@@loydthabartender5794 any chance tinkering with ur action and mic height might help? i tuned EVERYTHING to match my hand and the resulting situation? well, everything above thinking about the string is enough to play it
And now: THE DRUM PART 🥳
👀😂
Hihi again he will need leg indurance!
Never skip a leg day!
😂😂😂😂😂
You’re a fucking psychopath… I like that.
Vogg has the best right hand in the death metal scene. Godlike.
Correction: God's right hand is Vogglike.
Have you heard Erik Rutan?
DECAPITATED IS THE PANTERA OF DEATH METAL!!!!
Fucking Legends. Still so sad about Vitek man…rest in power brother
And Covan.
HHELL YEAH THATS RIGHT..AND VOGG IT'S THE NEW DIMEBAG OF DEATH /GROOVE METAL
That's a massive insult to Decapitated
that's probably the best way to put it. Waclaw took his love of pantera and put the technical death metal twist on it.
All Decapitated stuff is insane!
Vogg is a very underrated guitarist in my opinion!
Ola, greetings from Poland. DECAPITATED rulezzzz!
I LOVE \DECAPITATED/!! VOGG = POLANDS FINEST!! TRUE LEGEND!!💪👊🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I got the immense pleasure of being Vogg's student. He is simply from a different planet. Far, far away. And, by the way, super nice guy.
I got the lessons personally as well in his place in Krakow. Very eye opening experience.
@@IgoRthethrasher What pick does he use? It's been a mystery how he has so much attack but is so clean at the same time.
If he's a Dimebag and Pantera fan, he's GOTTA be a great guy!
Krimh on drums, pure energy!
Been listening to Decapitated A LOT lately, they are criminally underrated
True man! This song has been on my playlist too lately! Also love Deathvaluation!!
The first album is insane for how young they were
Decapitated are one of the biggest DM bands lol. How are they underrated.
@@DroneCorpse you are right they have more monthly listeners than morbid angel, deicide, and suffocation on spotify and those are big names
They’re actually very well rated
Decapitated was one of the biggest prodigies to ever bless death metal. My personal favorite riff easily has to be sensual sickness off of the negation album. Long live vitek.
Winds, Nihility and the negation are the most amazing trifecta of tech death perfection. I've listened to Nihility which seems like a thousand times. It never gets old and I always seem to find something new in the album.
speaking of that album, how about that brutal fucking breakdown riff towards the end of The Negation (the song), tried playing it, its impossible lol
Are you omitting the sad fact or you do not know. Actually, R.I.P. Vitek (02/11/2007)
@@Airtrooper719 i love that riff. when i heard it the first time, i was thinking, damn that's tasty!
For me it's spheres of madness, got to see them live supporting Sylosis , so good live too
Decapitated are an elite tier band. Vogg is a legit riff master!
5:31 Ola’s face made me smile 😃Troo suffering
Its like you eat a lemon and try not to squirm 😄
Looked like Gaahl for a second
This just in, learning new songs is harder than most people think. Especially when the song seems to be played by god-damned machines.
Vogg is the best guitarist to come along since Dimebag
For anyone else struggling with stamina when it comes to riffs like this one (the opener), I find it hurts my wrist and forearms less when I’m standing, allowing a hanging, more natural position for my arm. I find when I’m sitting and have my arm perpendicular to my body, my arm tenses up more than necessary.
Definitely. Feels like my picking hand naturally sits more where I want it to be. Maximum chuggage potential
This is what I’ve been doing to learn how to play guitar, just by listening and trying over and over. Been playing guitar for 12 years now selftaught by ear.
Never give up guys! 🤘🔥
"The solo is pretty straight forward - it's a bunch of notes"
- Ola Englund 2022
We love the Human In you!!! Nice to witness the struggle that all of us guitarist endure.
This video shows what its truly like to learn something challenging. Kudos to you for showing the process.
It makes me feel better about myself. I always thought guys like Ola never struggle.
This shows what it looks like when we learn something that is actually out of our comfort zone. In this case Ola has trouble with his wrist picking technique. We can see this by observing him practicing it in a slower pace: He completely relies on his wrist, which is good. As soon as he goes up the tempo he switches to an almost entirely lower-arm-based movement. The problem with this isn't just the potential for injury but also the fact that sudden start/stop-motions are hard to execute on a consistent basis, even if the picking pattern is well memorized.
Deffinitelly, the way to go in this case is to learn how to play with the wrist in highest tempo with using as small amount of effort as possible. This is actually the song I practiced it a lot.
After reading that, I felt like it was music class lol
I always wonder how Ola does his picking technique, I try it from time to time but it cramps my thumb up. Using the full-arm is a bitch for long stamina. I moved away from that quite some time ago, now I'm just trying to be more relaxed with the right hand.
Reminds me of learning how to play Master of Puppets back in the day. Had to start off slow because my wrist just was not having it lol
Good points made. This applies to every instrument. For example, playing 16th notes at higher BPMs on the hi hats using the arm is considered bad technique, which will eventually tire you out and possibly lead to damage in the elbow and nerves. As one progresses on the drums and is more and more comfortable with a particular song, a flicking technique, isolating the wrist and fingers, is a much more ergonomic and natural technique. Ola is playing drums now, so maybe there’s some carryover from one to the other.
Saw them open for Lamb of God in 2013.
One of those times when the Opening Band Surprises you and Blows Your Socks Off.
They were so Tight and in the Pocket.
Mad Respect.
eh that's most bands that open for LOG...
Yeah I went to see Necrophagist with Decap opening. This was their Organic Hallucinosis tour, the last with Covan and Vitek. Left as a huge decap fan.
Early birds, I salute y'all
Gabagool
@@YungPariah all this over a piece of gabagool!?
@@metalmayhem6663 I see ur a person of culture
@@YungPariah yes. IT'S DA JACKET!!!
Coffee with Ola and Vogg :)
Poland vs Sweden
1:0
The whole band is nuts. Just to listen the drumming that Krimh, Eugene and James have done in the band. It's mental
Dont forget about the master, Vitek.
Vitek drumming also crazy
@@bagaswahyuillahi6009, Vitek was young when he passed, but even then, he left a giant legacy
@@AUM_-po9sche was the best drummer they had
Ever heard of Vader?
For any of You interested in avantgarde black metal, Vogg also played with a band called Lux Occulta, starting from My Guardian Anger album. Worth checking out. As for Vogg's picking technique it is exclusively wrist based, therefore reproducing his rhythm pattrens with the whole arm picking technique is ... challenging ;)
Vogg is an absolute UNIT. You did good!
What a monster of a song and main riff. I need a week of warming up to even have an approach of what is needed to play it. Kudos to Vogg for being able to compose it and play it every single gig. And also kudos to you, Ola, for being able to learn this awesome piece of music.
Vogg is an insane axeman, you haveto have respect for this man even if you don't like moden Decapitated
That looked painful, but you have to admit one thing. That is one bad ass riff!
Never heard of this band until they opened for LOG...instant new fan ! Thanks for suffering for us OLA :)
you chose a BEAST of a song!! Great Job, Crushed it!!!! I'm sure The VOGG will approve!
Vogg is such a bada$$ guitarist! His picking hand is insane and he writes really sick riffs!
One of my favorite Decapitated riffs!
Cool vid! Marty Friedman said: "if you can't hum it, you can't play it".
Great one
This is awesome of you learning decapitated tunes 🤘
I love this segment. Always looking forward on Ola learning new songs!!
I saw these guys once with Lamb of God. I just wish I appreciated and loved them then as much as I do now. The only songs they played that I even recognized were Carnival Is Forever and Spheres of Madness. Gotta catch them again sometime
love your videos!
i truly love the fact that you dont over sanitize your videos, you show yourself struggle. most youtubes only show the finished porduct.
THANK YOU!
Love this song so far! Decapitated is killed it! And you killed it brother! 🔥🤟🏻
Awesome video, awesome band! I feel soooo lucky having seen them live many times (first time loooong time ago in their original lineup with Witek and Sauron). Thank you Ola!
My dream guitar right there
Love how Olas eyes come out if he tries +10 %! Thanks man for this
Much respect for doing this Ola!
it was alot of fun to watch and you did an amazing job ,plus you get better in playing that kind of stuff. thanks for showing how to improve yourself
Ola, come on. Love the effort and perseverance. This song is crazy difficult. Great job as always.
Ola i love this video series! It helps me so much as a guitarist. For once how to approach stuff like this, but also motivational, because it shows that no one is perfect and when something is difficult then there are ways to still do it! :)
From playing old school death metal for years even with a lot of them. That was impressive as hell just the opening would take me a month hi props to you. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing album! Also, great song pick, it's nice to see you really struggling to play the song but sticking to it and eventually getting there in a few days. 💪
Good Man Ola...its an ABSOLUTE beast of a song.....well done
This is a really excellent video. You're not only an established professional in the field, but you're also acknowledging that you, yourself, are a human (like the rest of us!) This makes for a really compelling video. Subscribed!
awesome job bro i love this series haha. such an epic tune...love decapitated
Perseverance and humility. Great job, Ola!
hell of a song and Vogg is a hell of a guitar player, and one of the most downto earth dudes I've had a pleasure to meet and talk to
Since their first album, Decapitated have always been astonishingly technical. Good job. That Solar would look good here, by the way.
Well done !!!! i rly love when you do challenging songs !!!!
Dude the face you make when trying to switch back to 100% is priceless! Great video man.
Hell yeah decapitated! Such a fantastic band!
You’re the man! I’d love to get back my ability to learn metal by ear! Sick vid my man!
I really like your channel because it is just pure fun. 🤘😁
Old decapitated is even more technical and crazy. Winds of creation and Nihility are both suburb albums that I’n my opinion are better then later decapitated. I mean winds was recorded when vogg was either 16 or 17…SMH amazing. Killer job Ola!
Winds of creation is A1 tier death metal, absolutely insane material and even more so considering their ages at that point in their career!
Sickest riffs ever on both those albums
100%, nihility is such a badass album. Mother war is such a great song
@@GregDineen Couldn’t agree more! Mother War is such a banger! BTW I’ve been studying with Martin (1st band bassist) at the same department for 2 years in Kraków :)
The Negation is one of my favorite albums!
Respect! The riff at the beginning of the song would have killed me...😂👍
Nice one to learn...Scar Symmetry - Deviate from the Form
Man this is amaizing...proper beast🤘!
Yupp this song on on my Playlist .Love you man !
Those riffs are damn sick!
I’d actually love to see ola play winds of creation by decapitated, and yes I know that song is very difficult but I actually think it would be quite fun to see him learn it
Been waiting for you to give Vogg some love
Holy shit i wish i could afford that stunning guitar! Incredible content as always ola! That picking pattern is ruthless
The day I can play even a single Decapitated riff properly is the day I'll have achieved enlightenment. I just want to play Spheres of Madness. That was the first song I heard by them and in retrospect, the first technical death metal song I heard.
Also, I'm the complete opposite with picks. Thin ones make me clinch it really hard.
Spheres of Madness is the first song I heard from them as well. A swift kick to the nut bag it is...in the best possible way...if that makes any sense. Lol 🤘
Try "Blood Mantra" - pretty simple riff but kicks ass hard as well. I guess if I've managed to pull this off you could do that too probably :D
Vogg's right hand is from another dimension, so it's super impressive to see you play it that well! You're a BMF, Ola!
Huge respect for the dedication 👏🏻🤘🏻
That was gnarly, Ola! Especially that +10% speed! I wanna learn some of that opening riff, and look this band up. Thank you! 🤘🏻🎸🇺🇸
Man, it's something like, it's 10 years i know and play this song, and I'm still work out that crazy riff, my hand is crying everytime i play this amazing song
I love Decapitated's album, 'Winds Of Creation". As I was watching, I did a pick throw and I'm sure I will never see that pick again. R.I.P. Witold "Vitek" Kieltyka. Such an amazing drummer!! He left us way too young.
Too true about Vitek, the world lost a truly talented young man and if he was anything like Vogg, a genuinely sweet soul.
Absolutely love this.
I enjoyed that SOOO much! I was just struggling with the middle section of a Dream Theater song earlier today. I was getting down on myself afterwards. But after seeing Ola struggle, I'm reminded that it's ok to suck at a song you've just started learning. That's how you get better. By playing stuff that challenges you.
Vogg is a beast! His solos are also insanely awesome.
I love this song, and I love playing guitar. But man, this is much more easier on air guitar! 😆
Such an underrated album, was lucky enough to see them on this tour cycle. A view from a hole is a straight up fucking masterpiece. More power to you for trying this, vogg is a fucking beast 😂😂
Bravo, man, bravo. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Incredible guitar play-along (no sarcasm😂 it was actually really good)!
Hoping to see more of these play-alongs - your comments make it even more entertaining to watch! Keep it up, man.
I always find it very cool to see how other guitarists approach learning songs and that everyone struggles the same :D
I've learned a few Fear Factory songs and always struggle to get those fast picking patterns right.
Dino is a beast! \m/
@@AdamMassacre1981 absolutely.
Ola learning a Decapitated song: Fuck me!
Vogg learning a The Haunted song: Is that all you got?!?
I hope you and Vogg can do a Coffee with Ola some day!
Yeszzzzz the grind to get this in. Very cool sir. It would take me a year or so. Stay metal dude, Eric. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Well done man! That looked freakin hard! Vogg's chugga is insane!! And for a pick, I think he uses a piece of bone from the smashed head of one of the victims of his skullcrushing riffs. :D
Maybe you could try learning some Morbid Angel classics?
I'm thinking Chapel of Ghouls, Maze of Torment, maybe later material like God of Emptiness, Where the Slime Live, etc.
With Vogg, one of the things I've noticed is that he tends to play with the guitar slung really low, and when your guitar is that low, it makes it impossible to pick from your arm. So even in the music video, you can clearly see it's all fairly effortless and from the wrist. Whereas when you sit down in non-classical position, suddenly your arm starts doing a bunch of the work. Took me years to be able to get past that, and practicing stood up with my guitar slung low was kind of a eureka moment for me!
Good observation
nice
I think these Ola learns videos really showcase how good of a guitar player you actually are. Thank you for the awesome content.
Hell yeah. Excellent job. Love this song
Vogg is defenitely the best metal guitarist to walk this earth. His technique is so flawless and impeccable. Change my mind. You won’t
Polish death metal = the best death metal 🇵🇱
I'm sorry, but I find even the tiniest notion of that there can be only one "best guitarist" in any given genre, especially when if you just consider pure technical skill, is so weirdly naive, almost childish. Like, have you ever heard of Wes Hauch, who has one of the most clean and inhumanly precise playing of all metal guitarists ever (and his guitar tone is *the* best tone of all modern metal guitarists, change my fucking mind)? Of Joe Haley from Psycroptic? Of Jeff fucking Loomis (imo his best work both technically and compositionally is on the Conquering Dystopia's self-titled LP)? Of Dave Davidson from Revocation?
@@icipher6730 sorry bro but Vogg is technically and compositionally the best. I mean the guitarists you mentioned are great ofc but as for me, they haven’t written such bangers as vogg has ( better not to meantion new Arch Enemy) Carnival is forever along with the first four decapitated albums are admittedly masterpieces and modern classics. All the riffs on the albums are out of this world and technical at the same time. No one is able to recreate decap’s riffs the way he plays them. That’s why you will never see second guitar in the crew :)
@@travisbickle3604 You people are weird for arguing over who's the best. Some people like Decapitated because the riffs are vicious and tight, some people like Arch Enemy because they write beautiful melodies and put on amazing performances, and some people like Jeff Loomis because of...well, all of the above. And some people like Bob Dylan because of his remarkable lyricism. Just listen to what you want to listen to and don't bother about what other people think :D
We need Ola learning a Psycroptic song for our entertainment.
Not bad brotha🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽thanks for posting Ola!!!!
I seriously find entertainment in watching this man learn these songs by ear. I love it!!!! You rock man. I did many songs this way when I was younger because tabs looked scary to read. Ended up figuring it out a year later. But lamb of God 11th hour and laid to rest was by ear. Later found the tabs and was slightly off and learned an easier mode for me to play without slipping and flying all the way across the neck trying to keep it in time lol. Also a bunch of simple stuff like System of a down, six feet under no warning shot. I felt proud of that, thanks for sharing this man
Oh, we cannot beat this "stamina picking thing" Ola. So we need to switch picking type and genre too. I don't know that are you familiar with it but a Wintersun song would be interesting eg. Starchild, Battle Against Time or Winter Madness. Yeah, definitely would be interesting.
Anything off of the self titled album would be awesome
I think hate me by children of bodom would be a fun one to learn. It's not the hardest song, but it's also not easy. The guitar solos do be hard tho imo, but ofc you can skip em.
Seconded
This I already consider one of the best videos you've ever recorded!
Vogg is my guitar hero of modern death metal, brutality and groove.
I had the pleasure and honor of taking classes with him via skype.
I would like him to be interviewed on Coffee With Ola.
This record means a lot to me, Homo Sum is a quarry, but A View From A Hole I can't play it straight to this day.
was really nice to see you learning and practice ;)
