There are channels where you hit the thumbs up immediately because you kinda know it will be good. And because you support the channel anytime, even if you don't like a video that much.

When you know it's going to be good, you can hit like right away. I mean, there's absolutely no way this could've been bad!

[@josephkaminsky5866]

Abasi and Solar guitars are two examples of badass modern guitars

[@lucyferina]

I think that the reason for Ola's success is that while he prepares some questions, he lets his guests direct the interview, and only interjects when necessary. This allows for a perfect flow, he also asks the right questions because he knows the gear. I have been watching his channel since the first video and seeing his success is just great. We need more people like this in the music industry, as a matter of fact, I believe this is the future of the music industry.

I am not a huge fan of the progressive new sounds. But I am also not an asshole and an idiot (at least in this instance ) ,what he is doing is not my bag, but I can hear how amazingly talented and innovating he is. I always told myself that when I become the old guy in rock music, I'm not going to shit on the new thing coming up, I'm going to support it and be excited for the new players. Tosin is a mind blower, I last about 3 minutes and then I'm smoked. Taking the guitar into such interesting evolutionary places, it might end up something other than the guitar as we know it. Fun show, great interview.

[@matthewlima1882]
