Which guitar belt do you use at the beginning of the video?

[@eamonahern7495]

You missed a trick by not demonstrating the Floyd in the opening tune. I didn't even notice it had one while you were playing until you mentioned it afterwards.

[@florian_thrash]

@@77stimpythe guitar strap? That should be the one he always uses, just search google for "Ola Englund guitar strap" and you should be able to find it

After downpicking like a hydraulic press for like four decades, he’s earned every wrist saving upstroke

[@notsure1135]

At his peak, his right hand ability was untouched. A freak!

[@paullalremruat14603]

Gary Holt was jealous of his Seattle 89 downpicking peak

[@dogbiscuits752]

For sure. It’s a wonder he doesn’t have carpal tunnel

[@kaynesantor8136]

For reals. Ever seen that Simpsons episode where Bart cranks his wrist around and says "my wrist are like cement mixers from writing on the chalkboard a thousand times"? That's James.

[@mikesilverpass]

I used alternate picking over down picking once while jamming Master of Puppets. My mother disowned me and my girlfriend left me (she even took our dog). I couldn't focus after that and eventually lost my job and house.

[@biohazard8295]

You are lucky....

[@davidzamora9973]

Bro, you gotta hit up John Petrucci! He's been alternate picking MOP for decades! There might be an opening for you there!

[@fredriksvard2603]

What did you expect

[@daveweisbrich1769]

Sounds like you're about to write a country song.

Hi ola. I was the guitar maker that curved fret headless 8 string with thr buckeye top 22:36 .such a bummer i wasnt able to meet you in person,but seeing something i built in your channel just makes my day all the better.thank you for the time and appreciating it

The smile you got when Zack mentioned you is priceless. ❤

[@jajasniewski]

That intro; chocked full of chuggy goodness and it’s good for you!

[@JBmusicart]

When I lived in Athens Ga. Mastadon played in a garage and I got to watch them play sitting on a couch less than ten feet from the band. There were maybe 6 people there.

[@adie_h_333_painting]

That guitar summit show looked amazing, so many interesting instruments! Looking forwards to the extended Vlog

[@Deathmetaldaddy79]

We care about you brotha! You are the one of us (Dimebag fan, 90’s kid, Zelda king, etc.) that made it. 😂 wishing you your best life

[@fahdo_owani]

"Oh HELLO!" was such a german thing. Hahah beautiful 😂. You startled ma man! 25:01

[@robertdonosobuchner3129]

I also enjoyed the Guitar Summit in Mannheim. So many good guitar gear, so many guitars that I tryed out for the first time. I would like to see Solar Guitars at the Guitar Summit next year. 😉🤘

[@JamieSlays]

i loved it! the vlog was great. such a shame we didnt film a section of us hanging out for it haha !

[@mrshaneyt43]

Hope you will be showing us a Jamie vlog from there on your channel. Looked like it had some amazing stuff

[@jimsound7888]

Ola, live with it. you are a super star

[@docsworld1369]

Great episode!! Loved the coverage of guitar summit!!

At 23:10 I see my boss sitting next to Patrick Eggle 🤣🤣🤣👌

I saw melvins, phlyzzz, and boris last night in New orleans at tippitinas

[@kanehicks9321]

Banger opener Ola! Ugghhh!!

[@2livedrew337]

The new Dying Fetus album is a brutal riff smorgasbord. So good!

[@southernpanda33]

You and your dog are adorable together😂🤣👍🏻

[@replicated]

SICK RIFF

[@thomasbaldiscola4671]

I'm late to the SWOL this week. Awesome episode & VLOG! I also have been listening to the new dying fetus album, its amazing! Hello CJ! 23:20 🤘🤘

[@hamidsanei1987]

Zakk was used to bring his monster dog on stage around 2000. Love that dog, Anselmo had a challenging time keeping his leash while Zakk was greeting with Dimebag on PanterA’s stage at Ozzfest

[@telecasteroil]

Love Nick Johnson, great vlog Ola!

[@robertschererx]

Hetfield plays very different live nowadays because he's the singer, too and does a lot of gestures / body language to underline the lyrics. He really transformed over the years. So nothing wrong about not playing exactly live as it was recorded in the Studio, especially when you take his strong vocal performance into account *while* he plays his guitar at the same time.

[@southernpanda33]

Well done, brother. Zakk mentioning you is awesome.

[@TarnishedViking.]

Never a dull moment. 👍🔔

[@davidzamora9973]

5:30 any metal guitarist knows this feeling. OMG this had me dying! Truth

[@adrianop7614]

Ola man I just wanna say I love you and your videos and thanks for being such a inspiration and one of the people who make me pickup my guitar

[@clintlee290]

How happy you got when zakk mentioned you is how I felt when you made a video on some tones for the boss katana appreciate you man 🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@harshtruth9148]

I cant imagine what it feels like to get a shout from Zak Wylde.....who btw, learned to play guitar where I am sitting right now....Bricktown, NJ

[@bennyvanderven]

man! I love that intro jam. this is one of your best.. keep 'em rocking!

[@DantesGrill]

Haha, that Japanese guitarist is MiA from Mejibray! I used to listen to them a lot in high school, they're pretty cool. You should check them out!

[@discomallard69]

Thank god for that little feller Ola that saved almighty Zakk and his ZIP code.

[@BalashToth]

Awesome show again🤘

[@alanhunter4564]

What a shout out 🤘

[@Citizen_JQP]

I love that everywhere you go, everyone knows and loves you. So fucking cool man \m/

24:03 BILL!!!! I love me some Billy Boy From Mastodon!!!!!

[@landersm223]

That guitar show looks amazing, lots of awesome looking stuff!

[@phillipdonsbach74]

Yaaa finally the dying fetus shoutout! I still remember the first time I saw them and the bassist was sweeping along with the guitarist. So epic

[@bruno_gatti]

Except you cant hear that bassist lmao. Both on studio recordings and live bass is absolutely drowned and barely can be heard.

[@lucdroid8707]

Hej Ola. Yhank you for the awesome show and for the footages from the guitar exhibition. Cheers

[@Hicks-g1m]

You're awesome Ola. I hope you are doing well 🤘🆒

[@joenicastro482]

Hi there Ola, man I gotta say I very much enjoy your videos. 👍Sunday morning isn't the same without you on my flat screen. Love the dog cameo. Your personality is perfect for this kind of media. From Pro to fan ,you are. Please keep up the great work 🤘you keep metal alive. CHEERS 🍻 🤘

[@ShephrdWieb]

the intro was like a weird Suicide Silence song but Ola style, Well done.

[@allenvrabac4827]

Probably the best intro riffing you’ve done in my opinion

[@mudcast]

No.

[@onehandslinger1475]

Yes! Hapas. I was wondering about them being there.

[@unmike19]

That's one thick and heavy opening riff Ola! Cheers!

[@x.eternal.x9150]

Killer riff this week!!

[@briand563]

I watched that interview and was like oh s#!+ zakk just gave ola a shout out and props.. was wondering if you seen that. Was pretty sure you had to have caught that. Pretty awesome. Also you should include playing with your dog more in your vids lol😂

[@johnrens9379]

Your mix is soooo good. Sooo heavy. And the peice played was as well.

[@jfoquendo]

This episode has me rolling Have new love for Ola today !

[@TheHeadown]

Really juicy riff of the week! 🔥

[@claudevieaul1465]

It's amazing that Zakk Wylde can just say "Ola" and everyone knows that's you 😎👍🤣😜🤘

[@TommyGus]

You and Zakk are like BFFs now! Noice!

[@Asyouwere]

That intro is 🔥 🔥

[@TK-we9zt]

Good to hear you are taking care of yourself. I’m fighting off a pinched nerve for the last three months and it sucks. Stay strong and stay metal 🤘🤘

I went to high school with BillyK. Great dude!!

[@zugzwwang]

intro amazing \m/

[@ad_burner_sc]

That looks like a brilliant trade show! Nice one Ola 🎉

[@stevenedmund5680]

awesome Ola ...thanks for showing us the event. That Ibanez with the blue water resin and wood looking like one of those contemporary coffee tables like a small river was so awesome.

[@Nick-72]

Make The Drums Appear Again 😅🤟😅🤟😅🤟

[@dogbiscuits752]

Love the Baest shirt!

[@Navbee133]

I once alternate-picked Master of Puppets. James Hetfield's fist burst through my amp speaker and choked me out for the entire solo section. Lesson learned.

[@scoliewood]

🤘🤘

[@M.Holland]

Was at Guitar summit this year. Was there quite spontaneously, since a gig we should have had on Saturday got cancelled on Friday afternoon. It’s an amazing show, love to be there. It’s small enough to get thorough everything in like two days. It’s great but not overwhelming.

[@adambaker8269]

Man I love dogs!! I wouldn’t take my dog to a show but my buddy had an old boxer named Max. That old boy laid right in front of my bass drum EVERY time we jammed. R.I.P. Max!!

[@pd-kx4qw]

Wait if it’s Sunday 156 then means it’s 3 years exactly of SWOLA! (52x3)

[@scarknuckle]

Hands down no one makes a better amp than Fender. Yes even for metal. Can’t wait to try this out.

[@adamplaza3935]

I really would have loved a Solar Guitars Booth on the Guitar Summit. Thanks for the pic btw 🤘🤘

[@chrisloud1976]

The opening riff challenge sounds killer. The depth and tone of that guitar is insane 🤘

[@patrickbarge9872]

[@Boogienator3000]

Awesome 🔥

[@dollgarm]

Years ago a friend of mine Rich covered Puppets and started alternating the whole intro. I was blown away by how it sounded down picked but also how cool it was to alternate that 2nd chromatic riff which was something I couldn't do at the time

[@marshallhobbs5857]

The best alt picks dime alt picked you can see in videos and he was the best rip dime

[@HaXaW5150]

I think it's awesome Zakk is giving credit to the players that helped him learn these parts. I wouldn't look forward to doing a show like the Pantera one with all the eyes on him.

[@taftoc7288]

That intro riffs were brutal!

[@bodom078]

Nice intro riff!

[@RowdyGrunt]

It's as if all the actual cool stuff from NAMM was put into one place. Damn that looked awesome.

[@Tinkertown-x9z]

Great intro graphic

[@paulpattonmusic]

The amount of farts in the first 2 minutes of this made my flipping day! Thanks Ola!.... Oh yeah and great content too

[@davidp6007]

Yo! Nice axes at that show man! Some really cool stuff... and mentioning notes; Rabea has done a video about dialling in tones...and is pointing to the Swede for reference...🤘👽

[@IanOnTheDL]

The guitar summit reminds me of the Dallas International Guitar Festival. Went there in 2019, there were a couple bigger brands there but a lot of local shops plus some really nice boutique brands. They had some known artists play there and you could sell and trade your own gear as well.

[@wrigleyx]

This intro is better than sooo many legendary bands.

[@replicated]

Agreed.

[@marcjuarez90]

We here 🫡

[@USDAselect]

If a band I was a fan of mentioned me by name I would melt! That must have felt freakin' awesome.

[@telefoon1978]

Love the bully!!

[@progrocker84]

This summer in Hamilton, Ontario I noticed John Petrucci replace the 16th note downpicking in Pull Me Under with two 16th notes, following by an 8th note. So instead of t-t-t-t t-t-t-t t-t-t-t t-t-t-t, he played t-t-teh t-t-teh t-t-teh t-t-teh. Sounded great both ways! It was nice to hear some new flavour slipped into a great classic.

[@MrRzk600]

Damn, i watch your videos for 13 years now

[@TheFlacidFlamingo]

Had a herniated lumbar disc situation that started last year. Stuck on the floor with crippling sciatica for a few months. No stretches or exercises made even a lick of difference. Only thing that helped a little was oxycodone and later an injection. Shit sucks. Hope your recovery is going well.

Love love love the shoutout to the kids @olaenglund
