Hi ola I am looking for a metal amp sounding like a rectifier I mean chuggy and huge but not too modern would you recommend the prs mt15 or the peavey invective 20 mh? The tone jerry Cantrell used on his Ernie ball interview is what I am currently after (I am looking for a 15-30 watt amp) However will a 15 watt lunchbox like the ones I mentioned sound professional??(for recording and such)

[@rdmahurin]

The "same Ola riff" is actually helpful when comparing tones of the different gear throughout your demos 👍

[@fiftysteps]

I actually love the Infamous Ola riff for the reason you mentioned. I was hoping he would find the comment as humor, which he kinda did.

[@nikmik84]

Hi Ola. I just want take this time to say thank you. I have been playing guitar for over 20 years. The last few years I have not been as much into guitars. Music today is boring and there has been nothing that has excited me or given me inspiration to play. My brother showed me one of your videos a while back and I have been hooked ever since. You make really fun, educational and stress relieving videos. I think what you are doing for the guitar community is so good. The music industry has changed so much and you have found a really interesting way of engaging with fans. My wife got me a A2.6TBR for my birthday and it's just a magnificent guitar. I love the Solar brand and I am excited to see what more is to come from that. Thank you for giving me a new leace of life with my guitar playing.

[@TheBlackKoma]

The Ola Riff is comforting and needed like my morning coffee

[@whitaker_media]

Ola--Personally, I really have to thank you for the Ola Riff. Why? Simply, it's metal, and it's repeatable. Therefore It's useful to us! We all need to hear what certain gear sounds like for metal, and we all need to hear a similar riff on each piece for comparison. This is exactly what the Ola Riff delivers 😁 Cheers from California

[@Krigloch]

What's up Ola. After taking a few years off, your videos have made me want to play guitar again. Great Job!

[@benjaminking5708]

You're right Ola. It is refreshing. We are about the same age and started playing about the same time. And even though I was in school band. Didn't pay much attention to theory. Percussionist. I could read. But didn't understand what I was playing. But I have rededicated myself to learning some theory. In the past few months. And running across your channel has helped to inspire my music theory expedition.

[@sebastianwaltari6174]

[@johnbeamon]

It's interesting to see an established artist with an obvious level of talent talking about lessons. I had years of music and theory and know that information well enough, but guitar is a self-taught instrument. My brain's fine, but my fingers don't keep up like yours do. Thanks for being transparent about it like this. I've been considering lessons for my hands' sake, and you may have inspired me to start.

Just ordered one of your guitars and Greg Heritier was extremely useful with an issue that I had, which was the guitar that originally ordered went to B stock because some scratches were discovered before shipping, he hooked me up with a different guitar and was quickly to respond to my Emails, can't wait to get my new guitar in the mail.

[@HeavyInstinct]

I had the same experience with Greg. There were some problems with my payment due to it being an overseas transaction. I was very concerned because when I placed my order the website told me it was the last one in stock and I didn't want to lose that guitar over the issue with my payment. Greg was quick to respond and made sure that didn't happen. An overall positive experience and my S1.6 FRBLB is flatout awesome!

The Drapery Falls, my go to riff when I'm noodling. It's a Gm though, not a G5, though hard to play that in dropped tuning.. The opening chord is a nice voicing of an Am, also the opening chord in Life is a Highway by Audioslave. The first opening riff the The Drapery Falls is really cool, tricky fingering, really nice zen like strumming pattern, with that rise and fall that reminds me of waves, with swell rising and falling over a reef. It's a very relaxing song to play.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

About ESP guitars, to give more details to Johan Vängbo who asked about : in my humble opinion, ESP guitars are made for peoples like me who can't play on an Ibanez because the flat Ibanez neck sucks (my opinion, my experience, just a question of taste). I explain. In the 90's I was searching for the holy grail. With the other guitar player of my band, we were searching for the ultimate machine with no limit to our budget. As we are French, we spent one full day in Pigalle (Paris) to test every brands. We played five very expensive Ibanez from the custom shop on a Peavey 5150 and a Bogner Ecstasy. It was like a cold shower : the sound was so tiny (disgusting to me) that I realized that Ibanez was made for fusion music, fx racks, etc. In the 90's ESP was famous in France but very difficult to get. But there was a shop in Paris called California Music. There, we founded an Horizon original one. When I put my left hand on the neck, I felt like "this is the one I want to married with!!!" It was a factory standard ESP and it was much more better than the custom shop guitars made by Ibanez we tried one hour before. Then we went to Universal Guitars shop and we tried an ESP MII Deluxe (mahogany / maple table + Seymour SH1 / TB4 Jeff Beck pickups / Floyd Rose original). We tried the guitar on a Sansamp (I hate this sound and was afraid of being influenced by the Sansamp more than by the guitar) and guess what... it was the apocalypse in the shop! And I felt in love with ESP, for ever. The owner of the shop asked us about our amps. We answered : Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifiers 2 channels + 4x12 Marshall cabs. He said : men, it's gonna kill every other rigs on earth. And he was so right. I still play ESP/Rectifier today. My friend bought the guitar and still play it today. I went on the Horizon model because I'm a Gibson LesPaul player. The ESP neck is a thin U profile. If you like Gibson, go for ESP ! I bought an original ESP Horizon Custom Shop with the "knife" head (no more in production because there are law suits with Jackson). I still play this beast witch sounds like a Gibson SG on steroids. In 2007, I went to Tokyo (at Big Boss shop) and I bought an Horizon Kiko Loureiro signature : the SE-100, a see trans blue flamed maple table on a 3P hard maple neck thru mahogany body with ebony fretboard scaloped 27 frets / Seymour Duncan SH1n + TB14 pickups). This is the ultimate shred machine. A Formula one! A torpedo!!! I feel like Luke Skywalker in the X-Wing when I play this amazing guitar. The best guitar I have ever played. In 2017, I ordered a custom shop at Guitars rebellion, official custom shop seller in France for ESP. They go to Japan and check out the guitars at Tokyo custom shop. They are friends with a few guyz at ESP custom shop. ESP made me a bolt-on neck for an M1 : I asked for the ultimate access rounded without the plate. They design it, sent me a PDF with the plan. They made it on a one piece maple neck. I choose the east indian rosewood piece for the board. The body is a one piece mahogany. They said no for a one piece maple top : very rare, very expensive, you need to wait years for that, and they say yes if it's a body only, not for a table. So I choose a bookmatched. They sent me tons of pictures and it was very long to get a beautiful table. During one fuckin year, I said : "not this one", "no sorry, not like this", etc. Very long ! Then I found a good one, not perfect, but as I like. I get the guitar in January 2019. And... this is the perfect mix between a Charvel San Dimas shape and a Gibson LesPaul. I put just one pickup on with a push-split volume knob : Seymour Duncan TB12 Screamin' Demon (I'm a George Lynch fan, so...). This M1 is the guitar I play on Friedman, Bogner, etc, the Plexi thing you know. My Horizon Kiko Loureiro is made for the Rectifier, Diezel VH4 monsters, modern high gain babies, you see. I've tested tons of guitars in my life (I'm 45 years old). Nothing is stronger than the ESP sound if you are like me, searching for fat and juicy tone. Something like Corrosion of Conformity, Crowbar, Megadeth, Lamb Of God etc. I hate this tight low end (djent is not for me) that everybody wants today : it's for kids afraid of the big bad tone. Jackson (witch I played in the 80's) is almost at the level, but as it's an american production : means you can get jewels... or shits. As ESP is made in japan, you know that what you will get is a clone of the guitar you've heard before ordering the same or something like this. No bad surprises here. If you are a Gibson guy searching for a modern shape : ESP is the way to go. And the bonus : if you like the U shape of the 52' Fender Telecaster neck, you could love ESP guitars too ! PS : The question was about ESP, I have no idea of the quality about LTD. As I play music with no compromise, I'm not interested in LTD.

I can really recommend visiting Iceland! I was there in 2012 and it was amazing. The waterfalls are really nice and the whole nature sometimes seems like from another planet. Also, the water smells of sulfur, which I found cool, other people didnt like it (i wonder why...^^). I can also recommend to maybe not only visit the famous blue lagoon but also a smaller, less known one. Chances are, there arent that much tourists there, but you get the same experience. (And rent a good, offroad car, you'll need it, if you want to travel between cities) My highlights: -Black beach of Vík -Gullfoss -Lagoons -Þingvellir -Landmannalaugar

I'm taking lessons from Jon too! I had to learn where all the notes are too

[@134SASAKI]

I have never had a problem with reducing nickel frets. (Except second hand guitars, in which case I will replace those frets myself.) Probably the biggest factor in reducing nickel frets is playing with rusty strings. It sands the frets while playing. I hardly sweat my hands, (be careful with diabetic people because your sweat is acidic.) and I wipe the strings with a cloth after playing so the strings won't rust badly either. Also, it would not be good to hold the strings too hard. In many cases, it is not necessary to hold the string so strongly. Conversely, using a nickel string on a stainless steel fret results in faster string fatigue. Finally, as you may know, Jescar NS18% nickel frets are harder than poor quality stainless steel frets.

I believe that Mac is better for a lot of things, except for gaming. My father used Windows, and until 2017 I had only used windows and a tiny amount of Ubuntu. When I got my first Mac I was hesitant, but the physical computer was extremely nice. As I got used to the software, I came to love it. It didn't take long. I use Logic, and having compared it to other DAWs, I love the look of Logic and feel good using the included tools. Most interfaces and such are plug and play and I have never had an issue with any peripherals. I have had Logic crash twice since I got my Mac, and I still don't know what caused it.

[@tylerbrittan593]

Ola FAQ question: Ola, I’ve heard many times that a guitar sounds “better” with age. Do you have any guitars you’ve had long enough to notice this? I’m not sure how much I really believe that. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this though. I hope all is well!

[@Ottophil]

Tyler Brittan false. The guitars tone isnt going to change over time. What does get better is the neck starts to wear in the shape of your hands, so it feels more natural to play, but the sound isnt going to be much different unless you change the pickups or tone cap, stuff like that

[@tylerbrittan593]

Hugh tube I always sort of figured it was kind of bs. Thanks for the reply!

[@p4fizzle]

Even in my very limited experience, I bought an ESP ltd :/ out of the box it was actually pretty bad. Notes sounded rough and bends couldn't sustain a note at all. I was very sad and didn't even think the guitar good enough to sell on. Being "stuck" with it, i changed the strings a few times and have cleaned and oiled the fret board every time. Almost overnight, after the last string change, it has started to play really well. I'm over the moon about this and hope it continues to improve and become the guitar I thought I had bought

[@tylerbrittan593]

LifeSucks_LetsSkate Dude, I hope you continue to like it more and more!

[@wiseguy9202]

Of course it also depends on your skill level. A guitar can seemingly sound better if you get better at playing over the years. But then that's not really the guitar sounding better.....
