OLA LEARNS GOJIRA STRANDED

Testing new grounds and challenging myself to some sick songs.
Any suggestions on what songs I should do next? Let me know!
The song in todays video is Gojira Stranded from the album Magma.
You need a guitar that is tuned to D-standard and a Digitech Whammy pedal.
For this video I was using the Neural DSP Gojira plugin.

[@lethalbydefault]

As someone who struggles learning by ear (spoiled by the ease of the internet), it blows my mind when people can play something just by listening to it once. It takes me ages to figure out stuff by ear. hahaha

[@R0BERTMAY]

You and me both man!!!! So impressive. Rabea Massaad is epic too man!

[@jakehughes4592]

Nice pfp

[@shogunc7718]

It's one of those things that the more you do it, the easier it becomes. Don't give up. Try to only look up parts that you absolutely can't figure out. Over time it'll become natural.

[@Antowam3]

Frölunda! Anyways, you learn little tricks that make it easier. Its easier to think in harmony than in frets. That way the relations actually make sense. You only have 12 notes, the other octaves are just timbre. First note usually sets the scale. Minor major third? With that set the rest slots in much easier. If you're in a daw, try hipassing everything below 800 and add a bump around 2-5khz. Usually helps with making the tonality of the guitar easier to discern.

[@MagnusRex4]

Back in the no-internet days it was all we had. The more matured player you become, the less difficult it gets

[@ForTiorIJohnny]

oh jeez, that song gives my right forarm the biggest cramps XD would love to see Ola try those down strokes at that speed.

[@drystanbarnett503]

Definitely an underrated song to become a rhythm downpicking god. After learning that song and doing it the right way you grow a third arm

Love this series Ola, I’ve been playing guitar for 35 years and I’m still learning and this is how I learn new techniques and ideas! And you’re right when you say that the riffs don’t have to be super technical to be awesome! Gojiri are awesome at it! I can now go and try for myself. Thank you Ola for all your videos, one day I will own a Solar guitar, and that day is getting closer 🤘🤘

[@ryanjennings6541]

Gojira is great at making the simple riffs sound great.

[@renatovalverdediaz6420]

Ola, learn The Art of Dying, its going to be a challenge, but believe me, its absolutely worth it, one of the greatest masterpieces in all metal, hail Gojira, hail Ola!!

[@cooldude879012]

Moonshield by In Flames would be great!

good idea!

With Opeth, it doesn't get much shorter than Demon Of The Fall.

[@jdc6927]

Definitely cool to see, helps to remember not every song is difficult. Been working on learning different songs lately. It actually helps with building your song library and techniques become easier for songs I learned in the past.

[@Emanuelnx]

Learn a children of bodom song for the next one! That would be awesome

Way to set the bar waayyyyy high.

[@UncleRJ]

I would like to suggest Cannibal Corpse - Condemnation Contagion. It'll test your consistent power chord downpicking the whole song. It's also a kickass song.

[@geffinwahyu8071]

Yes sir!!

[@nicolaswutzmusic]

It seems like one of the easier Cannibal Corpse song, but after you se Erik Ruthans playthrough, you see how hard it actually is😂

[@thet740]

I second this song.

[@dropAE]

Absolutely

Soilwork - bastard chain, the riff with the arpeggio in it had me going for years.

[@amirridhwanaf]

Hi Ola! I would suggest Sylosis - Worship Decay for the next song. Love the new format!

[@kumpesasanda9869]

WOW sick song

[@BoyAditya]

Next: Fear Factory -Replica. One of the best riff-based song

[@broncoxy]

This is a great idea man. Can’t wait to follow along and learn some sick new songs.

Great concept Ola! My suggestion : Death - Symbolic or Death - Lack of Comprehension ... Basically most of Death's discography has some of the coolest badass guitar riffs in Metal, so yeah ;-) Cool vid man!

For the next learning video, I think two potentials might be Opeth: "Demon Of The Fall" for a simple but fun one, or Lamb Of God: "Walk With Me In Hell" if you wanted a challenge.

Request: Children of Bodom - Blooddrunk. I remember I almost got the song without the solo in about 5 months, I was also a beginner at the guitar. Hell that was a hard song to learn even with the tablature in front of me
