hi Ola, i want to develop myself on guitar in a fun and inspiring way. Wil there be a possibility to buy your music in the form of backing tracks/tabs? You are one of the few known virtuose who uses D standard. I would buy your music for educational purposes only. I would totally understand if you don't release your solo work in the form of backing tracks. You do already have stuff around the internet from the Haunted, but thats free and i like that. But i wouldn't mind to spend some money on your music (and make you richer) to learn from it and come up with own guitar solo ideas, just saying.

But then again that means Ola's just average and that can't be true because he is indeed a legend which means we've reached an impasse and I'm going to do old people things, maybe have an existential crisis.

It's perfectly sound advice for new artists. Nobody waits for a new artist to release a full album. It's way better to stick to single releases. The artist can basically adjust directions on the fly instead of sticking to one thing for the production of an entire album. It's a waste of time and maybe even money. Ola on the other hand already has a platform with thousands of followers to work with. That's a different scenario.

Sounds really, really mature, guess we're the children of the late 80s and early 90s so I hear a lot of my musical heroes influenced Ola too who's progressig it to yet another level. This is a perfect example of how the 21st music should sound, mix all all genres, classical music backed by synthwave loops and modulated with distorted phrygian scale guitars. Telepathy is the next thing in future comms so no point in having vocals in modern songs. Perfect.
