[@RussXnimbusX42]

You are a lucky dude Ola. You have a beautiful wife, a great band, your own guitar company. Damn, I guess that hard work really does pay off. As far as your kids go, just throw down a few bags of kid food down on the floor and they will be all good!

[@thehawk05]

Great video Ola......gave me a big smile and “Good for you!” vibes when I saw Steve Vai signing your guitar. Seeing you with the kids at the end was the best part

[@perskeisari]

This video made me smile. You and your family are cool, mad respect for your wife for pushing you to talk to Steve Vai and you got your guitar signed!

[@IStabz]

lol

[@HKRocks]

Ola, check out Allaegon .. great 8 stringed band (that doesn't sound like meshuggah)

[@leolego]

Yeah, cool video and nice to meet you there. Loved that Vai story!

[@NoRePlayIng]

One question to you Leo. Was that a Solar Guitar, that you used on Stage? It looked like a Solar but I could identify it.

[@riffforge-guitar]

NoRePlayIng It's a Line 6 Shuriken Variax

[@MarktheAirsoftPrimate]

Can you two colab already?

[@zachpaulson5222]

Hey Leo @frogleapstudios, is there a full version of you from the excerpt of this video. that "it all goes berserk" song sounded bad ass. Thanks -Zach

[@RabeaMassaad]

awesome video! great to meet you in person dude!

[@cortical1]

I hear you about playing to a tame room. As the great Gilmour said, "Where would rock and roll be without feedback?" kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWKygISGZpKqhacm35s

[@luigi1mario]

I seem to remember seeing you two together back in London 2014 at Electric Live *cough* my profile picture *cough* :')

[@florimshemshiu5920]

best guitarist at Andertons. Great Rabea

[@nickjohnstonmusic]

love you man :)

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

Your music is amazing.

[@georgemicu7093]

what about you signing steve vai's solar guitar?

[@nostalcholy]

George Micu Steve was too shy to ask

[@feanorfingolfin7414]

Yeah.......

[@metfan4l]

So cool you got to meet Steve Vai, he's a legendary dude.

[@we_are_nevertheless7305]

metfan4l truly is. Great man. Very great musician

[@ConvD59]

i love that us Metallica fans watch basically the same youtubers lol. I see you everywhere!!!

[@AndersBuaas]

Thank you so much for coming to the festival, Ola. So glad you got your guitar signed. I thought you knew you were riding in the same car as Vai. So funny you didn´t know. Hope to see you again. All the best to you and your wife!

[@jaime_abad]

Anders Buaas. Definitely! It probably was the best time to give him a Solar guitar and offering him to be a Solar artist. You missed Ola 😜.

[@RNAMusic]

Amazing festival! Couldn't imagine a cooler place!

[@keschgelb]

Its so cool to see you being excited when you met Steve Vai. I just would not be able to speak one word... He is such a big idol. But Ola, you are also one of my heroes! Thanks for your work and entertainment on KZbin.

[@Karlgolden]

Thats so cool you shared a car with him and got the chance to get your guitar signed! Super happy for you bro! Looked like an incredible trip and your true personally come through. Well deserved success \m/

[@cortical1]

This is still my number one favorite Ola video of all time. It has everything: shredding, comedy, travel woes, pink eye, bed time with the wife, meeting your idol, more shredding, snow, and buying off your children's affection after an absence.

[@revsharp777]

Lots of heart in this video.

[@dougcook7507]

Ola, you are such an awesome person. You are so humble and respectful, this video really shows this. I have to say, I am very jealous that you got to ride with one of the two guitarists that I have liked for such a long time, the other being Alex Skolnick. Your UV is pretty much priceless now, glad you got to get it autographed.

[@yeserguitar]

Most important, I like the part that you hugged your kids. You are an inspiration man.

[@mark64tanner]

So cool. Mr Vai is a special kind of person. Folks who don't get caught up in their own fame and dedicate a lot of their time to sharing their passions are a blessing. I include you in that group of individuals. 😎 Cheers.

[@gonzaloleal1008]

it's so beautiful see how much you love your family, you're big Ola.

[@tkzsfen]

when you said that Guthrie uses your settings i almost cried. what a moment to appreciate. as if i was there with you, man. you must be very happy!

[@seanempson1099]

one of your best videos yet Ola! So much raw emotion especially that ending where you talked about meeting Steve, that put a huge smile on my face

[@nostalcholy]

I've been a sub for a year now. Actively only lately. This video was beautiful. It felt so personal. Hope you are well and please stop being sick all the time!!

[@JDesena01]

As a guitar player myself, I can tell you that I too would be star-struck meeting Steve Vai. But as a parent of 4 kids (now grown), I can tell you that the best part of that whole weekend had to be getting back home with your beautiful children. God Bless!!!

[@arefinkhandaker4370]

Really good to see you both travelling to places together..Good to see solomon, chapman, rabbea as well. God bless both of you...

[@gq_79]

We love you for what you are! So happy to follow your channel

[@gp937]

Im always amazed at the commitment and support of your wife it must be an amazing confidence boost. Well done Mr and Mrs Englund. Keep concentrating on your music. KZbin and the internet might not always be around.

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

Ola...you're a good soul. I'm glad you got to experience so much amazingness. Thank you for inspiring others, for the amazing music and most of all for the smiles. You've definitely gained me as a fan.

[@Lillesel]

Thanks for the interesting master class. Cool to hear you play and talk. Hope you come back next year!

[@nisterror]

I'm glad you had the opportunity to meet Steve Vai. Thanks for sharing that experience with us. I went to a Steve vai concert last year and I couldn't believe my eyes and ears.

[@Tarukeys]

Your Vai story was awesome. My life has been a bit hard the last few months and your videos are making me smile. Thank you.

[@ytsejam3334]

Nice to see your family.

[@W4RD1N8ER]

That was a cool experience and to have the man sign your guitar even better. Music brings people together having it in our lives brings positive things. I’m a drummer but I love guitars and own some nice ones, since I have started studying guitar it has opened up the guitar god doors and man there some people out there with the gift Steve Vai being one of them.

[@roncrandall]

Totally got me in the feels, with the coming home to the kids bit. Mine are grown now, and they don't rush me at the door anymore. Hang onto that, my friend. Many blessings to you and your family.

[@snr2707]

Good things come to those who wait... Being polite and unselfish lead to you sharing a ride with Steve! The universe works in wonderful ways!

[@gowaitinthetruck7614]

It's wonderful that you didn't miss out on meeting him or getting your guitar signed by Vai! I got to meet him and my Jem signed a couple years back on the Passion and Warfare tour.

[@imrn]

Much respect to you, Ola n family

[@relzric]

Ola is a very brilliant man. I hope good things continue to happen to him and he can feel peace and happiness.

[@raphaelgunther]

Total respect for you as a person Ola. They way you chase your passion is inspiring. Good vibes!

[@doubleuseven]

So glad you got to meet Steve and got it signed. Thank's for sharing your guitar life and your family. I know the blessing of having a wonderful wife supporting your guitar dreams.

[@nuneko11]

That was a video I realy enjoy watching. Bring us back to reality of the day to day living. Please make more of these! Obrigado.

[@eikbike]

So cool you got to hang with Vai... signed guitar... jealous!!!

[@drmarcusnascimento]

Nice video for me so far, its nice too see the backstage of some of my favorite guitar players, thanks to share it with us. Cheers from Brazil.

[@shadowsfallfan1]

Gotta love when a musician can be so humble. I applaud you Ola because it isn't at all easy to talk to musicians you look up to.

[@offrenbaruna]

It makes my day see how humble you are. I fuken love watch your videos, keep it up !!

[@duaneanderson6393]

have fun , Louise, with the wonderful smile, hello. ahhh slide guitar, Your playing was sooo wonderfully heavy how strange to see people living with snow . I live in the EastBay we don't get snow here. We don't usually get any colder than 40F, 4.444 C

[@Ymiraku]

Ola Englund seems like a really unassuming and down to earth guy. Lots of respect.

[@musicheadt]

I have had the good fortune to meet Steve on 2 occasions, and he signed my Ibanez rg4ex1 both times (he even took a minute to admire it's paint job) He's such a gracious artist! I thought he would be arrogant, but he was truly humble.

[@benben-sl7hi]

Great vid Ola! Thanks for giving a glimpse of your life behind the scenes. Very cool experiences you shared!

[@mikekeup9899]

I love how the kids greet you when you get home from a trip! That's what it is all about!🤘

[@elpanasoni]

I like the moment when Ola meet his childs, it's a good moment for one family.

[@AlexandraZernerRocks]

Awesome video! Very real and inspiring, especially for a super shy person like myself - tack så mycket! :)

[@saarangnarayan123]

Thank you so much, Ola for filming this! I was in tears watching SO MANY of my heroes (which of course includes you!)together in the same space. This is one of the most emotional videos on your channel for me personally :)

[@ESR66]

You are so down to earth, that is why your videos are so amazing.

[@themarauder3404]

Love the way the frets shine!

[@Mrbumbons1]

Well done, your reaction to meeting steve vai says a lot about you. Well played.

[@OlettaLiano]

This was a most awesome vlog. I'd love to go somewhere and meet a bunch of cool musicians. So happy for you that Mr. Vai signed your guitar.

[@jayshredds2464]

Awesome Ola! I met Mr. Vai 3 years ago he was i@ The Canyon in Ca with Al Di Meola. Best birthday ever he’s super cool and approachable. Like you my wife made me talk.

[@KingKong-os7iv]

Fantastiskt! Fantastic!! Much love!

[@RNAMusic]

Always love your videos man! Cool to see your wife along for the trip! RNA wouldn't exist without mine!

[@RickyMon]

Loved the ending with the kids... Lovely family u got there..

[@gagetaylor7013]

Beautiful family awesome show brother!

[@MyICONIC]

Fantastic moment when meeting up with the kids back home!

[@GermanViking]

Really cool Vlog Ola! It was really cool you had the opportunity to share time with Vai. You are a very lucky guy.

[@Blaydrnnnr]

Very cool you got to finally hang with Steve. Its really something when you get to meet an idol, or one of the inspirations in your life.... congrats Ola...The festival looked fun. The guitars looked amazing, from what I could see. I'm struggling with trying to decide between an Ibanez and a Schecter myself right now....so I was hoping to see more guitars.. but seeing you, your wife experiencing something this cool, was a pleasure. Thanks for tagging us along my friend.....

[@stephenbonshire5678]

Looks like it was a great Lil vacation. It's so hard to not get "Fan girl" around someone who you put so high in regard! Love ur videos and can't wait to try Solar Guitars

[@Craigknz]

Keep the vlogs coming Ola. You are a natural

[@malice-mystere]

Epic thank you, Louise, the wife behind the man! Thank Ola! All the best!

[@weber247]

Ola is actually an excellent musician, glad to see him meet some of the best players, and Vai WOW!

[@stevemaass3074]

I’m in the process of catching up on your vlogs, and I had to comment on this one. I’m 60 years old. And I can totally understand your “fan girling” about having Steve Vai sigh your guitar. Hell, if you were coming to my town (not happening in a million year), I’d be totally stoked to have you sign one of my guitars. That’s the cool thing about music. Maybe even life in general. There’s always someone to look up to. Always someone who was there first. So good on ya, Ola.

[@alexanderfrederick1420]

That's amazing about Guthrie using your Kemper profiles!

[@pinofredd]

I think i liked any single second of this video. Thank you Ola for sharing.

[@jasonboles6754]

Omgosh man. That was a great video. It’s nice to see how much the time with Steve Vai meant to you. Especially sweet when you guys get home to the rest of the family. Perhaps I will see you at NAMM next year. Your reviews have helped me tremendously. Thank you!

[@juann1able]

Great video, great moments. Thanks for share, man.!!!

[@normanbates1511]

Beautiful family you have dude...!!!

[@aymericmarchand3472]

That Vai story was awesome, so happy for you and thank you for sharing!

[@frantisekvtelensky820]

It's so nice, that you had your wife with you and that "welcome home moment" with your kids is just amazing! Happy days, Ola! :)

[@andyje]

Ola you're living the dream....respect.

[@IgorVonE]

Had an interview with Vai ages ago. Was really fun to hang with him for the afternoon. Got a bunch of gifts as well.

[@SpiritCruscher]

Nice trip and nice vlog , cool people .. cheers from Tunisia

[@MichaelKarius]

It´s great to see that my heroes have their own heroes and still are fan boys, too. Great video Ola! Loved the story about Steve!

[@mddenis1]

Awsome playing and very good weekend, it was very interesting to watch)

[@acos21]

I liked the energies and lack of egos of all the people in this video.

[@TheAhirishman]

Love your videos. I wish you and your wife all the best

[@fullblastbjj3568]

The best part was at the end seeing how happy your kids were to see you! Great stuffs there Ola!

[@nathalieboizet1813]

Thanks for sharing this! All the best! Cheers!

[@JupiterFerrari]

I think it's totally killer how much of a family man you are, Ola! Dude, you kick so much ass, brother!!!

[@StaaleMathisen]

Fantastic!

[@Plowguitarist]

I know exactly how you felt meeting Steve Via.. I had the honor to say hello and get an autograph when he was on tour with David Lee Roth. Such an incredibly polite humble man, it was a huge inspiration to me as well. As you are too Ola, I dig your videos, and your vibrato as well. Lol Very strong vibrato which is so important. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@augure86]

Great video Ola! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@marshallamplification60TSL]

Ending was the best..pure joy as pappa Ola came home

[@kelvinstephenson571]

i always learn something or get a laugh from your videos. Nice to see you got the guitar signed and that you had a blast!

[@gngng5626]

I'm an old dude. Saw Vai with Zappa. FZ and Vai jamming "Black Napkins". Absolutely Brilliant! Youv'e got good ears on you Ola.

[@vincentgood8460]

By far my favorite vid seeing you having your fangirl moment and just having so much fun with your beautiful Wife and then the end when your kids were so happy to see you. 🙏

[@kppCustom]

Awesome vid Ola! So cool to hear that someone at your level can be just as starstruck as us plebs! Loved the end with your kids, nearly cried seeing you coming home to them, reminds me of when my kids were little. You have a lot of heart and humility, thanks for sharing.

[@DerrylVi]

These VLOG's are awesome. More like this please :D

[@Take-the-Ticket]

Super cool to see you with your family Ola, we rarely see that side of you. Great vid.

[@ivanarenas734]

Hi Ola, you are a great musician and your videos are the best!

[@Sleeep1]

This video shows why music is not only work, shows, gears... please more videos like this.

[@brucestarck962]

Great video Ola, it is really awesome you finally got your guitar signed by Mr. Vai. This guitar festival seems so cool.

[@SantyEscudero]

The ending made my metal face smile. Love to watch your more personal side Ola!
