Whats the music in the background????

[@YokuStudio]

hey guys, go out and check Mattia´s "on" and "off" those songs are master pieces...also a "song" called "blues for FK" (i wrote "song" because it´s a bunch of freak kitchen riffs)...and my favorites as solo artist "insert coin","there´s no money in jazz" and "print this" hahaha aamaaaziing guitar player, and he sings so badass too!, thanks Ola for doing this! un abrazo desde México.

[@t_separator]

Hey Ola, I love that format! What do you think of putting coffe with Ola on podcast platforms? It would be ideal! Podcast have a huge growth over the last years and you could expand your brand even further.

[@Adam-vc7oy]

Tack! Please please get Fredrik Thornedal and/or Mårten! :-)

[@AlexandraZernerRocks]

Hej Ola! This video really made my day in such a wonderful manner! I was really waiting to see this on your channel and it's even cooler than I imagined it could be! You both are super inspiring guys and I hope one day I could meet you in person!!! Keep the great stuff up! Tack så mycket! :)

"Not only play 0-0 0-0 on the one string and imitate Meshuggah cause they are much better than you are anyway" - never a truer word spoken. Great interview, my favourite one yet. A genuinely nice human being with a wealth of knowledge and experience. Incredible player.

[@ShaunTrack]

I think this has been the first time I watch a complete +1 hour KZbin video. Thanks you two!

[@KaoswareMetal]

Mattias is such an inspiring guy ! Even for non related guitar topics to be honest

[@Cestariarts]

Great people transcend their roles.

[@Naturmacht]

Such a cool dude!

[@hyramjackson]

for life!

[@TheMetalheadextreme]

It hurts me how less popularity Mattias has amongst guitar players. It's mostly only highly appreciative and musically knowledgeable guys that know of him but I don't think people realise how fun and enjoyable his playing is along with being technical when it needs to be. Forever going to remain one of my favourites. Much respect to Ola for introducing him to the mainstream metal crowd through his channel. Ola knows it himself what this guy is worth!

[@mnemic9564]

Love this dude.

[@MarshallGTV]

I met Mattias in 2005 at a summer guitar camp, he is quite possibly one of the most genuine and nice people I have ever met. He actually took time and listened to one of my tunes and said he heard my mustache.. he didn’t have to, and it really meant a lot.

[@YehspuhrTv]

Mattias is such a lovable guy. Skilled and humble.

[@arashpanahi3621]

This guy's a pure and honest soul...love him

[@KINGMAGNETIC818]

Never heard of this guy or his band. After watching this I'm in love with his attitude and his band. Amazing stuff, he seems more like the person I want to be than I even imagined.

[@Rockhound999]

check out the music video for "Freak of the week" :D

[@Williamstanway]

Check his KZbin channel , his solo stuff is as rythmicaly amazing if not more amazing than meshuggah

[@dohoeijmans2432]

Check the band Soilwork their early albums.

[@RadityoPramAdi]

his solo albums are damn good.

[@MrSchism]

I found out about him when I saw Freak Kitchen thanked in the liner notes of a CD.

[@kikarias79]

One of the most underrated guitar players out there. What a unique sound!

[@Jazzguitar00]

@@miguelinsogna1530 Not many people talk about him, online people talk about guitarists who are basically KZbinrs way more (this actually includes Ola, TBH).

[@HearthVader]

I’ve never heard of this IA before, I’m 3 minutes in, and I already love this dude.

[@omairsh8]

His ability on the guitar is freakish. Makes sounds that shouldn't be legal

[@aestheticwolf7769]

Not even a Ted talk is this good

[@BtR76]

This is so good. Mattias’s modesty, insight and perspective is a lesson to all.

[@kaz0271]

I was there for freak guitar camp 2018. He's such a lovely guy and very inclusive....he would sit down with everyone for lunch and ask about how they were finding the learning material etc. I cannot wait to go back, I highly recommend everyone tries to get to a freak guitar camp, it will melt your brain :P \m/

[@AidanMmusic96]

Came here for the guitar nerdery, left with a piece of my soul restored. Mattias is such a genuinely inspiring dude. Cheers to you Sir!

[@JamesYngwie]

I play guitar for nearly 20 years and I'm a music teacher now… But this was the best guitar and life lesson I've ever had. Mattias is such an idol…

[@1lonnieabbott1]

This has to be the longest shampoo advertisement ever made.

[@NeuronicPlague]

For anyone curious., the riff he noodles out at 49:40 was later made into a full single called 'Beasts and Bugs' and it's really quite good!

[@LuisPellicano]

Matthias seems to be one of the greatest peoples on music industry. Such a good spirit! I never thought I could watch two folks basically just talking on KZbin. You both are great!

[@voyagerabove4034]

Mattias has be inspiring me for nearly fifteen years now. Love this guy.

[@Adam-vc7oy]

25 years...

[@its_dimski]

I never knew of Mattias until today. Thank you for bringing him to my life, what a cool guy, he has such a different take on life and music that both feels refreshing and eye opening!

[@_Arnab_Ghosh]

I had the privilege to See Mattias live when he came to India. This man is phenomenal, has great knowledge and taste for Indian music.

[@YokuStudio]

Mattias is my favorite guitar player, i knew him with a song called "the healty man"...and it was love at first hearing 15 years ago, amazing guitar player!

[@Hatecampaign]

I’ve never heard of this guy, but just listening to him speak inspires me.

[@Alienadin]

Such an amazingly skilled, energetic teddy bear.

[@robertclarkguitar]

I have shitload of respect for Mattias the man is a true rare guitarist.

[@thorthunderlungs5171]

When you're corrected by Frank Zappa you stay corrected. 🤘

[@aligatorsandwitch72]

Mattias is one of my favorite guitarists out there, thanks for having him on! If you do requests then guys like Ron Jarzombek, Bumblefoot, and Guthrie Govan would all be a dream for me.

[@DeFaith1]

One of the warmest videos on your channel :) Mattias is really nice guy, great you have invited him. Love your 'Coffee' series.

[@SYNDRONE]

The fact that all the notes and chords are in tune is just so nice and makes me feel really good. I need it. One day.

[@ratzbatz]

Thanks a lot Ola for inviting Mattias to your video! It was such an interesting and inspiring talk. I think you guys have the same sense of humor.😀 I‘m a huge Freak Kitchen fan since 1993.

[@jeancaspar5365]

Did not know much about Mattias before, what a fascinating and entertaining man! And mind-blowing guitar player! Thanks for this Coffee With Ola... best one so far!

[@awakennomore]

Honestly, I had not heard of Mattias or Freak Kitchen but now I love both!

[@felipousismix]

Mathias is so down-to-earth, so many musicians should learn to be humble like him. Kudos Ola for this great interview!

[@kevinerickson84]

So Humbling, very down to earth. I wish there was more of you two out there. I could listen to you guys talk for days. Thanks for the video and your time Mattias and Ola!

[@RohannvanRensburg]

Man I was so excited for this. Can't wait to fully watch. And for a "sh*t interviewer", your ratio of 1.4k likes to 2 dislikes is pretty impressive (for the record, the fact that you're "in the know" and ask actually relevant, insightful questions easily makes you the most interesting interviewer for people like Mattias, considering the drivel a lot of them get asked by regular interviewers). Fantastic insight into creativity and regulating tech too. I'm probably not alone in how often I sit down and try to write something and it's crap, and how quickly that makes me feel like giving up. It's really trying to let go of that need to make something amazing right away that one gets creatively free and willing to slog through bad ideas to find gems. I need to watch this a few more times! PS: I was like "what's with Ola's colour grading, it's all over the place", and then I realized his lights are changing colour behind the camera.

[@ashleywillis3793]

That was the most inspiring video I’ve seen for anything, not just guitar playing. So honest, modest and genuine. I’m ashamed to say I wasn’t familiar with Mattias before now but I’m better for it now. Also, his voice is so relaxing! He would be a great narrator!

[@tanky666hate]

As a Caparison lover and owner, today i feel like a kid in a Candy store :) thank you guys!!!

[@markusantonio4866]

I remember discovering these guitars from Soilwork.

[@Karlgolden]

Freak Kitchen is one of my favourite bands! Discovered them maybe 10 years ago now and was blown away! Porno Daddy & Nobody’s Laughing 🔥👌🤘 (song names by the way!) Great interview Ola

Hi Ola. Just wanted to thank you & Mattias for the video. Both such great guys with an awesome philosophy towards life & guitar playing. I found this so interesting & entertaining. This was beautiful to watch & listen to.
