hey Ola can you talk about the process of making an album. love u

[@DeM0nM1NdSlAvR]

yes please, thats a very good question

[@yrrahyrrah]

Write the songs, record, mix, release.

[@DeM0nM1NdSlAvR]

yeah, no shit. you know that's not what he meant. whats the point of posting that useless comment?

[@yrrahyrrah]

So what did he mean? How to write an album? How to record an album? Or how to mix an album? Because they're all pretty much separate things. Not to mention artwork, promotion, etc.

[@DeM0nM1NdSlAvR]

Id go with how to approach writing an entire album. What are your thoughts going into starting to write an album, or a song for that matter? I doubt hes going to mix and all that himself. and yeah promotion and artwork aren't bad things to talk about either. but yeah, maybe he was a bit bland with his question. nvm

[@tigerhearted87]

Ola, just want to say man, that i love your videos and i really appreciate all you do for your fans. I believe that as a person, you carry Dimbag's will in a way, with being such a down to earth and great guy his values live through you and all the people that he has touched :D . I go to work every day 9-5 job, and due to unfortunate events, i got into music late, and barely make enough money to just get by comfortably. But i practice as much as i can, and i always will play / listen to great music for as long as i can. You inspire me to be a better musician, and a better person, thanks man.

[@rodrigogouvea7107]

Hey Ola you and Washburn should make a "dime"-shaped model! Since you're a huge dime bag fan, it would make sense imo

[@AvyScottandFlower]

A 25.5'' at least, though, because Razorbacks are mostly 24.75'', which limits tuning options and whatnot. The closest Dean came up with was the flame V model which was 25.5'', but alas it's discontinued now. I think a V is a better shape than Razorback though; I have a Razorback, and even though it's basswood (instead of heavier mahogany) the shape still makes the instrument quite heavy and clunky to manipulate (and all those pointy edges are really prone to getting badly damaged). A 6-string 27'' would be a dream come true for down tuning, and for some reasons big companies don't get any guitars like that out there. It's an untapped market and I'm sure it would be a hit with lots of people!

[@Tuttermuts]

Another question most young guys don't ask themselves...just because you can have a certain endorsement=> does that automatically mean you need it? Getting a discount is nice especially when you're on a budget, but if it's a discount on a product that doesn't suit your needs a 100% or even 80% ...why bother? You might end up hating it because in most cases you can't just jump to another brand like that. That's why sometimes you'll see certain bands playing live with the logo of certain pieces of gear taped off. It's nice to get gear, but before you bite make sure it's what you really need.

[@azrul666]

hey ola, can you elaborate the typical recording process, pre production, post production, mixing, mastering etc etc. how you do it, what the typical standard, DIY like yourself versus working with a producer?

[@ShyrusBean]

awesome vid!! Ola, could you please show us how you make your videos?? from recording to editing... thanks!

[@buzzsaw63]

I love these videos 👍🏽. Ola would be way cool if you uploaded a video of you just playing guitar for 10 minutes. I want to steal some of your riffs

[@douglas.skene88]

Genuinely nice guy Ola; one of the reasons we all keep coming back.

[@MrGuitarTormentor]

Hey Ola when will the ,washburn 7 string V, be available to purchase, and will you demo that guitar in a video? Hypeeeee

[@TylerHackerJokes]

Hey Ola, will we ever see the return of Robo Victoria Beckham? Maybe do an FAQ using her to answer the questions lol.

[@Bultish]

Hi Ola, how much of the fact that Dimebag where endorced by Washburn went in your decision?

[@OlaEnglund]

just a bit ;) but it was more of a lucky coincidence

[@jakeharoldpensavalle1211]

what makes more difference at loud volume, power tube breakup or speaker breakup?

[@philipdamberg7399]

What is the best thing to eat in order to feel like: "Damn! I want to play some metal!"

[@jonathanandersson4003]

Hey dude! I've always thought your videos were awesome, but lately I've found they look more professional and sleek. Keep up the great work. Best regards!

[@gilbertduenas6317]

Does or will Washburn do multiscale guitars? It seems to be a pretty cool trend now days

[@tkzsfen]

Ola, where does metal start and hard rock ends? can you make an comparison or something like a try-out video?

[@dandulany7417]

Now you need to come up with a COMBO amp that the average Joe can afford and use for gigs or just personal

[@WaltonsJoint]

Hi Ola. What is the best guitar you have ever played in your life

[@HannibalX33]

Where do you buy your t-shirts?!

[@joshuamcnellis14]

[@vixenvendettaofficial]

[@FelipeGruberTV]

Hi Ola, How is your songwriting process when you decide to make a new a song?

[@dandulany7417]

Well it made me get my own parallaxe solar. Great freaking guitar!!

[@tyschuby]

Hey Ola! What do you prefer most Floyd Rose or no tremolo? Or some other kind of tremolo system?

[@thrasherfan96]

Let's be real, he probably goes and laughs in his room with all the free shit he's getting anyway. 😂😂😂😂

[@jackpisani486]

ola do you plan on releasing a production run parralaxe 7 string in white instead of black ? cheers man love the show

[@stumacd]

Have you tried Strandberg guitars? What do you think of them?

[@akumakami9727]

Love the shirt Ola!

[@austinjones7397]

That really helps and does it help if you have their gear and you make a video of what all it can do and you play really well for it would the companies possibly take notice of you

[@sicariusbladehart9525]

Gorguts \m/

[@DeM0nM1NdSlAvR]

Ola, where can I look for the Solar V guitar, i cannot find it anywhere online and i thought it was amazing. Ill admit besides the pickups, what got me is that the neck wont be so heavy and drag it down, which is the problem with my Jackson Rhoads, plus the bolt on neck makes it hard to reach high end frets.

[@ultimatemetalguitartones]

mesa boogie mark IIC+ spotted!

[@MarvinSheats]

Good stuff Ola.

[@jospan666]

Hey, are you going to release Solar part 2?

[@Qalmana]

Will the Solar V be available with an evertune? anyone know?

[@herumusicman8200]

Thx to you ola, i've been checking out washburn guitars. They seems to have good products in a good price..Can you make a demo on PXM20fr?And btw, thx for demo on helix*Sorry for the bad english

[@ehodgkins8197]

Hey ola, the reborn cd had the songs listed as side A and side B, will there ever be vinyl release from feared?

[@AlexGrammann]

[@VeronicaGorositoMusic]

Nice advices Ola! hey could you tell us more about, when you're already sponsored/endorsed...and the contract says that you can't play or show or mention any other brand in your videos or in a show? how do you mannage that conflictive part of the business :P

[@DestroyingTheDevoid]

Hey Ola! Would be cool to see a video on how you use chromakey and your green screen for videos. Thanks!

[@mytho1ogy1]

fucking love this guy.

[@carlonalzaro]

When did you start playing 7 string guitar?

[@watchher4398]

Ola, do you hear any differences between Fortin Satan and Randall Satan?

[@evanhammond7494]

I'd like to be endorsed by a few guitar brands and amps ect, but how would I Conant them?

Christopher Rowe Ola definitely didn't play with them haha.

[@metallixro]

that green curtain covering up the gear behind is making me sad :(

[@stephencox4509]

gorguts!

[@prognosis77]

Hey Ola, I have a strictly 7 coming in the mail, it's used but how do they play, are they any good

[@zombie6444]

The early ones were very good, then they got a little hit and miss when they overstretched themselves. They didn't make any TERRIBLE guitars, as far as I'm aware. The problem most people had with them were the lead times going from months to over a year and bad communication rather than bad guitars when the eventually turned up.

[@prognosis77]

nice, i got one in dead mint condition off of reverb.com for it looks killer, i havent got it yet in the mail. I hope it plays well. got it for 700 $ said it was between a 2008-2013

[@JoyzerDk]

Skit bra - as always!

[@thehermeticgnostic66]

heys ola, what kind of picks r u using and why?

[@thehermeticgnostic66]

[@hilmiakbaril]

He's using 0.50 for riff, 0.73 for leads (if i'm not mistaken)

[@sommersjagoe6941]

Yo that's super thin man
