AWSOME work, Guba!! 🤘🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@Soily9]

That was sick, good job man

[@simonmerrifield1395]

As the A.I. music thing is coming more prevalent , artists should start promoting themselves A.I. free. Show a bit of live studio or rehearsal performances to show that they're real musicians. Keep up the good work Ola ,keep it real 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@ObviouslyKieran]

The fact that they need to do that shows how AI is a mistake.

[@Yadandadandandaa]

But but... live shows..?

[@raykassal7872]

@@Yadandadandandaa I agree, just play live shows and the proof is in the pudding.

"DON´T NORMALIZE BULLSHIT!" I need a shirt!

I'd buy one for each day of the week 😆

I’d wear the same one everyday because I’m roach class baby.

[@TheRockinRoundtable]

@@OlaEnglund Hey Ola, so I guess we will not see you at Namm 2025. No worries, Danhage and I will take care of it, lol 🤘

[@Metal_Mastery]

This episode had everything: new gear, juicy news, and Ola’s legendary facial expressions! 😂

[@ShallowRisingBand]

Appreciate the shout out and following of the new project! 🤘

[@shadowalk]

Ola, Solar needs more models with EMGs. There are active pickup fans among us that feel that the Fishmans aren’t just cutting it. Please consider.

[@mattygames1369]

fishmans are good for people like me though, emgs are great if youre a good player but if youre not they pick up your imperfections and make you sound worse, theyre too active for many people. i am an extremely ordinary guitar player. like the missionary of players, fishmans have enough extra that i can play the things i want as long as i run either my 5150 or a g3 pedal for that extra, still get that aggro sound without having that damn emg pick up every time i brush a rogue string

[@GUBfrfr]

@@mattygames1369 get good

[@ryanloney3448]

Man Ola, I’ve been out of touch lately, its nice to see you still do the SWOLA’s and you have lit a fire under my ass and made me want to play more again, thank you.

[@ericwright3646]

the color on the 7 string is bloody delightful

[@PrakharPlaysGuitars]

Loved this week's Ola's adventures - as someone who makes guitar covers - it is amazing to see that a guitarist of your calibre goes through the same shit. Thanks a lot man - you rock!

[@clowncorpse7230]

Excellent rehearsal footage great to see Joel too hope to see you all 🤘🤘

[@seanplotkin6854]

I will never switch from listening and watching Ola than listening to AI. Thank you so much, Ola!! Your music is so real, and nothing will ever be able to beat that!!

[@ginocapra8583]

Linkinn Park's first album was amazing. I wish they never got away from their nu-metal sound. I wish Chris Adler was still in Megadeth, his drumming was a perfect fit for Dave's riffs.

[@wromthraxblue]

That intro was sic as f@#$!!! Love it!!!!

[@eigengrau1]

Aw the Drums, Fear Factory vibes kicking in..! Love it!

[@Al3x1c0n]

I never in a million years thought I would hear Ola trying to pronounce my name (4:53). Thanks for the shoutout though my dude!

[@eetuahonen7629]

Got the ticket on your tour in Finland in a day they came on sale, can’t wait for January🤘

[@kashy490]

That natural finish guitar is cool af

[@adriansbruce]

This week is still 25°C in the mornings and 36°C or so daytime temp. Not Hoodie weather in Kyoto Japan yet!

[@criscaires6713]

Ow yeah, great guitar Man, good job! Send a hello to Brazil!

[@chrisloud1976]

Great episode Ola, really like the music transcription you’re working on 🤘

[@epiClaro]

Lots of Love! ❣

[@HELIOSYNTH]

Beautiful chords in that intro!

[@rohanblignaut8615]

Truly!

[@TheHeadown]

18:01 Ola´s mile was a reflection of my own hearing that sweet Dime classic 🤘

[@julleboy90]

Big fan of you Ola💪😃 i live in Denmark and its 30 degrease today, and its my birthday 34 years

[@zsoltg]

I’m so glad you said that about the live aspect of music, I was having this conversation with my fellow musicians and friends and thought the same. AI may be used to create music but it can’t play live (yet 🤔)

[@wally-001]

No A.I. here! Killer work Ola. i understand completely. It takes about 50 takes for me as well to feel like i really nailed it. Playing guitar isn't easy. At all. It's aggravation, frustraton, and then pure elation!🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Zwidawurzn]

Always nice to see how Ola gets his own videos in his youtube recommendations

[@number4legend]

The back must be feeling good, Ola! Rock on, brother!

[@TonyToneBone56-ho9op]

The intro was hilarious

[@MahtiHiiri]

Man, that riff was a manslaughter 🔥🔥🔥

[@CinemaPuree]

Amazing that they're band practice is only around 80db on the decibal meter. Smart, saves the ears!

[@MatsFastrup]

Hahahahahaha höll på att garva ihjäl på mig på det introt!!!!! Pyramid huvudet var så j*kla bra!!!! Grymt innehåll som vanligt :-)

[@heavybrett-al4082]

Thanks ola for development of the S by Solar guitar range, just grabbed the V, and it's a great shred monster. 🙏🤘🎸

[@manuelhernandez2017]

Broooo! I'm buying the 7 string

[@Zwidawurzn]

Nice to see you touring with Bernth! I like Stockholm but i drive like 18-20 hours there so i'll probably buy a ticket for Vienna or Munich

[@brandongreene3213]

Dude, the band is great! The drummer bro holy crap.

[@fatfriarmusic]

On the AI topic, I'm hoping it will wreck Spotify, like literally destroying it out of existence because they're criminals robbing people of any income for their creations and hopefully artists will get smart and go back to having a website where you can get the actual music they make and not some AI knockoff. Ever since digital music became a thing it has done nothing but make it harder to earn a living from making music, now, maybe in an ironic twist, digital AI music will eat itself and drive money back to the creators. I remember loving to go to a bands website and read the bio, the gear, the recording stuff, tour dates and news and of course be able to listen to a 30 second sample of the songs and order a CD. I think it would be great if Ola took all his music off of Spotify and the other platforms that rip you off and keep them in house, start to have a hand in breaking the monopolies from making billions off of other people's work. So yeah, make me want to be an AI music creator and just load up Spotify with all kinds of fake music😂😂😂

[@IStabz]

that rehearsal jam was awesome!!

[@Impulse21s]

Correction Ola, guitars are not a "Luxury Item". They are necessary for life like Air, Coffee, or Köttbullar. Without a Guitar near me, I start to shake, sweat, convulse, and turn blue. Now it's gotten to a point where I must have many guitars around me to get through the day. More & More & More! I admit it: I'm a guitar addict. Rock on!

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

I have like a dozen guitars/basses, but I also collect pedals, I have 73 now, waiting on the new Boss SDE-3 to ship.

[@JonManProductions]

Good sir that is called a severe case of G.A.S, you may need to see a doctor about it. XD

[@Ryan_Messenger]

Chris Adler did an amazing job on Protest the Hero's Volition also Will it Chug? Jimi Hendrix V 🙏 Chug Life: Time & Effort 🤘 We need regulations on streaming companies that shift control back to the artists that create the products they sell. A.I music is new but it's not human. Even A.I. art requires a human to resonate with it. A.I. tools have the ability to move humanity forward but there needs to be regulations that prevents nefarious use. We can't trust the people making all the money off it to do the right thing so it's up to the rest of us to start boycotting their businesses until they do. Until then, it will only get worse unfortunately.

[@xboxnissan]

This Ola Adventures has a great lesson: practice practice :)

[@jeremyswindle3335]

Rehearsal sounded awesome

[@HaynesEllis]

26:05 seriously support the artists. Buy the merch. Stream the album. Buy the vinyl even if you don’t have a phonograph. It’s makes us more money so we can combat AI and tell our moms that we do actually make some money from music

[@Boomheyyou]

That intro was cool. It gave me At The Gates vibe.

[@henriquegrandeneto]

Answering to your Ola’s Adventures: that’s the reason why I love Guthrie Govan so much. He always records solos in one single improvised take. And they are awesome, difficult and clean as f$ck!

[@slendy_bends7200]

Accidentally started the video on 1.5X speed and thought Ola was having a stroke...

[@wreckinjoint]

This weeks opening riff is exceptionally sick!

[@jaycswift4751]

It's always good to know I'm not the only one pulling his hair out trying to get a solo perfect!

[@emach07]

😅🤣😂🤩 Now that's an intro!

[@jeremyswindle3335]

This week's adventures of Ola could spawn a new series: Fails with Ola

[@redvarddolanski3010]

That intro tone sounds like in the OG Engl Savage vs Dual Rectum video back in the GOOD days when the idea of taking a bath with a toaster wasn't that compelling.

[@Metalbass1979]

This intro had some old Morbid Angel vibes. 🤘

[@sunnibird]

I paid $1600 for that Reverse Hendrix strat way back when it came out. I had even more respect for Hendrix after that.

[@beannplant3780]

Ai makes significant things insignificant

[@The.Adam.D]

Damn Ola, chill man.. that opening riff had no business being that NASTY!

[@troykurz9615]

The chugmaster strikes again! Crushing tones for a Sunday morning.

[@RolandDeschain1]

Intro riff had a very Fear Factory vibe about it.

[@thetk9622]

Ola's Transition to a Bassist is becoming more apparent with every intro

[@Cthulhu_Awaken]

Uhm I think that was Joel...

[@RonaldoVeiga]

!!!! QOTD !!!! How do you create the drums? Can you show us the whole process?

[@paulteggart8538]

Pure Fear Factory intro❤

[@CarlosHartland]

I live for live gigs in all genres & enjoying the journey of the bands. A.I can’t replace that, even more so in the metal genre. I think POP will be taken over rapidly. Metalheads are loyal to the artists though 🤘

[@GregMerritt-ws8tq]

Who'd have thought that Skynet would be a problem primarily for musicians?

[@ChainsawChristmas]

I'm sure coders, authors, and graphic artists feel differently.

[@MrCleanPhoto]

Goddamn that intro was a banger!!!!!!

[@binhaldon5078]

Wintersun finally put out their album. Love to hear your thoughts! You missed it on the last newses

[@mmiller6873]

Wait did I just find out that Ola is not super human and does more than 1 take when recording. End of times indeed 🙂. Great vid, until next week.

[@naicametal]

fan fret 8 string omg :D thank you, well buy it when I can :C

[@JohnNRoach]

Today's riff reminded me of Sybreed "A.E.O.N."! I need to revisit that album haha

[@lukeharrigan904]

As someone who works in AI I have a bit of a different view, yes AI music for elevator music or some random backing track but AI has no character, it has no presence, it has no human you want to support and back. Some of the biggest bands in the world you support because you see something in the people that are in the band, you can’t identify with a AI Bot

[@stofosaurus]

No coverage that Devin Townsend released a single and music video promoting his new album Powernerd? Thought you guys were pals.

[@brandongreene3213]

That track is awesome too

[@infinidominion]

There's really no need

[@TheVermifuge]

“Time for life and Rock ‘N Roll!” 🎸😎

[@armelind]

That boombox in the beginning of the video, between the huge spkr cabs, I had one of those. It is a Pioneer. It was kick ass. Recorded many band practice cassettes with it in the 1980s. At the 2 corners of the handle were stereo mics. And it had L&R sliders for recording levels. It had a song skip function. If you didnt want to here a song that was playing, you hit the FFoward button and it would go to the next song and play that one. It was amazing until I wore it out and it stopped working.

[@Michael-zs7yy]

I really dig Olas guitar playing.

[@ComicsAreEscapism]

Strap on! The Linkin Park drama will be awesome (someone who never listened to amp and don’t intend to).

[@jasonjuneau2948]

I need to move to Sweden then. It was 31⁰ today where i live. Cant wait for winter.

[@alexmortar]

One thing that can be said about AI i think, the main is how listeners would support their favorite artists. And yes, it will be more difficult for young bands to start and will be heard. If it ai machine one time was started it never will be stopped and flood the platforms. Probably an association of artists producers and listeners who not accept the ai music conception is being organized (the sea of ai generated muzik will be replenished but they will be stand independently.

[@lancenunez8252]

Creative effort are typically much harder/take much more time than those who’ve never tried imagine.

[@xplanet2112]

AI would never be able to replace a David Gilmour, a Prince, an EVH.. To the people who still care about these legends and the emotional attachment people have with music - AI music will be irrelevant.

[@vorpalblades]

Given enough time, it can definitely replicate any player.

[@michael4591]

I can‘t take this whole AI BS anymore. I don‘t want it. I wanna think and create myself

[@alexmortar]

Absolutely agreed

[@cycomiles4225]

I want ai to wash my dishes so I can do something thats genuinenly enjoyable, like music.

[@rebecaivars7467]

Sería interesante hacer una guitarra edición limitada, con el artista que hizo los cuadros que tienes al fondo cuando tocas...👍

[@Pushbakgang]

Epiphone has been killin it..irk bout that V tho 😅

[@Chuck-Bob]

Yeah man. The Reverend Horton Heat. They haven't come in off the road for more than a few months in 30 years. The pandemic was hard as hell on them.

[@Chuck-Bob]

Lol, no, all guitars are not expensive, as you know with your S by Solar line. Epiphone has been the more reasonably priced alternative to Gibson since they bought them out, almost, and now they're asking almost 2k US for the Hendrix V. Hard pass man.

[@TheMooseintree14]

Dude the pyramid head needs to be a shirt! I would wear that every day man! Shredder to Shredder

[@Chrome262]

I love how Ola is like "thank god I made the tab books" I am the same way, unless I play it a million times I am like "how does it go again"

[@budverissimo1]

Devil driver dropped off of rocklahoma too. I was wondering what had happened!

[@flapjack413]

New Feared hoodie... will that be followed up by a new Feared album/single(s) release in the not too distant future??🙏😁🙏😁

[@CMFO83]

[@HOUSEOFHIXON]

🤘💪⚡️

[@yellowdog2181]

The Hendrix estate are known for being very tight on signing off on licensing deals

[@Eric_01]

What people will need to start doing, while going on about "$$$ for an Epiphone", is weigh in with the specs. The signature series Epiphones are up in price, but so is the quality and bonus attributes. The Hendrix has a $500 dollar set of Gibson Custombuckers in it. You have to figure that in and get over "for an Epiphone".

[@JetLagRecords]

Ola Englund, I liked!

[@TrevBec]

If I was John Frieda 10/10 would offer a sponsorship deal based on the intro here.

[@omgalxp1]

[@andrewkennedy9704]

[@rhetttanner1598]

Hey Ola, have you thought about improvising some of your solos? It’s cool to play some note for note, but I bet you could improvise some pretty cool solos!

[@madtrucker1191]

Ola, you are an odd dude. Meant as a compliment, and I will someday own a Solar guitar!

[@joshludge]

I laughed a lot about Chris Adler's beat is still Lamb of God
