See you in Birmingham! 🤘🏻

“Naaaaaa I’m good.” perfect answer.

[@kas14244]

Burp and swear all you want!! I love it!! You are the real deal!

[@bruno.batista.guitar]

Hey Ola, was so cool to finally meet you during Kiko’s camp man! Had a blast seeing you perform, earing your songs played live and take another dimension, they’re ment to be played loud. And your solos ain’t shitty at all. Hope I can catch you up with The Haunted or in solo in January. Cheers big man, take care🤘

[@DiegoMassili]

new the haunted please!

[@QuentinDamour]

I'm on Tidal and can highly recommend. The algo is not as good for suggestions but it's lossless and retributes the artists really well (in comparison...)

[@gordonstarship]

My favorite weekly show on KZbin. Ola is hilarious.

[@throwingshapes6490]

These intro riffs just keep getting better Ola :)

[@sixstringdisciple777]

Evergrey is so dope. And I found them thanks to you.

[@Old.Monkey.Bones.]

Without a doubt the best & most entertaining guitar channel on KZbin! You make it all look so effortless. Very cool to see so much of the Kiko guitar clinic and today's "Comment On A Comment" made me laugh so hard it hurt my ribs. Thanks Ola!

[@jamesruth-mcmurray5585]

Never change Ola the content you put out is on another level 🤘. Great response to the comment of the week 👏

[@lucienaeon]

The Sun and the Moon is one of my favorite song ever. The solo is pure poetry. Thank you so much for your music Ola 🙂

[@smokymack]

Love Love Love the solo from Stars and Ponies

[@lockharthorsburgh8601]

Good to see that your back has improved enough to let you do your thing at the guitar camp.

[@werewolfmedialv]

Big Pantera power groove vibes on that intro. Definitely channeling the ghost of dime on that one!

[@pelle_johansson]

Interesting regarding spotifys prices! Tidal has just reduced their price to 119sek from 199sek. Hi res lossless included. The songs I have mixed/mastred actually sounds the same playing from tidal compared to listening in my DAW. I have done null tests. Best part, as I understan it, is that the artists get more money. I hope this is still true after the price drop. All the best!

[@mmiller6873]

Ola, if there is one thing I totally look forward too from you is your Vlogs of shows. Bro, can't wait to see your insider edition of the Festivals. Hell of a job on this weeks SWOLA. Until next time, stay healthy and all that other stuff.

[@seanerickson7675]

love watching your videos, got me back into guitar playing and learning so much from you. Thanks for all you do, ChugR 4 LIFE

[@JescoJimBo]

Morgan (Kittie) is playing the Solar V guitar,, pretty cool!

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

Your 'dog ball thrower' is essentially the modern plastic version of an ancient weapon called an atl-atl! They were used to throw spears in neolithic (stone-age) times!

That 13th slide @0:05 was brutal Ola. Very Exhorder of you 🔥

[@CassiHessey-p8h]

Keep up the good playing. Been watching religiously since the beginning. U rock dude

[@oliviercoulon]

Excellent Ola this little throwback to the Kiko guitar camp. 🤘 Glad to have met you there man ! 🤩

[@krusher70]

Ola always has the tastiest riffs! Dude, you are a riff machine ✌🏼🤘🏼

[@dansnow7374]

My Sunday morning isn’t complete without Ola and the SWOLA. Thank you for the great videos.

HAPPY SWOLA! Love the VLOG from the Kiko clinic!

I deal with anxiety every day, it sucks!

[@steveb8584]

Ola, the riffs on that intro were sick🤘Your channel is the best.

[@fatsuperfly]

Holy crap! It’s bright at 4am in Sweden😮 also that intro riff is killer, Love the grooves man! Had a long ass day at work, and Sunday with Ola is always an awesome pick me up for me, thanks for doing these🙏 the plus the green x guitar is sooo badass, man!

[@shakeyourguitartutorials]

Super intro jam and cool show !You rock!!! This "guitar experience" show was awsome !!

[@HammeredReactions]

Yeah bro, as a bloke from Chicago in Gothenburg, it’s crazy to sleep at midnight and the sun is just setting. Say Hej to Johannes over there in Helsinki 🤘🏼

Great footage of the kiko clinic, looks a lot of fun.

[@wulfman15]

That's one of my favorite opening riffs. Fuck yeah!

[@jasoncrump1886]

The intro riff was killer man. Love those kind of jams.

[@youWoNtLikeMe04]

Ola, that was a great Gilmore style clean tone at the Kiko experience. You're metal tones are always killer... wasn't expecting that clean tone though.

[@DomicidalCovers]

haha, I knew I recognised those chocolates! I think you gave me a couple when I bought the mug and T-shirt a while back(and yes they were good). Looks like it was a enlightening day at church.

[@sirtogii5216]

Would love to get to a guitar camp with somebody like Kiko or Petrucci. Looks incredibly fun and inspiring and I reckon the guitar crowd is probably the kindest bunch of ppl out there.

[@BarnyardTheSilverback]

I was just talking to my dad the other day about how awesome it is to see someone like James Hetfield opening up about his battles with anxiety. It helps someone like me realize that even our heroes are human and deal with the same stuff we do. Also Ola! Any chance you'd ever do a tone test with a 2x12 loaded with a Celestion G12T-75 and a Celestion Type-A? Rock on Ola!

[@Ismaeel13]

I loved watching the entire video, swearing or no swearing you have got the wit man! stay healthy fast healing and rock on with The Haunted! Cheers from Cairo!

[@2free2snakes]

Spotify raising prices while they previously denied all revenue for independent artists?

[@Nate612]

color me surprised. whats more surprising is how out of touch their CEO is with all the stuff he has been saying recently. Even Apple has done more to pay artists more per stream than Spotify. You really know when you are in the wrong when Apple of all companies is being less greedy

[@jirosaves_theworld]

@@Nate612 this what i think too lol

[@rontheguitarcollector]

Let’s start an internet rumor and make it come true. “Did you hear that for the new Pantera music Ola is the guitarist? It’s amazing!!” Keep this going!!

[@C-Ro]

Glad to see you on stage, Ola.

[@Matt0war]

I’ve watched the rise in popularity in death metal. Honestly, I’m not mad that it’s becoming underground again.

[@nicholasbstone]

Underground, where it was spawned and where it belongs.

[@MickH60]

@@nicholasbstone "underground", That's not how you spell Sweden...!!!! 😁

[@dollgarm]

Spotify have added audiobooks and more recently training courses so I guess that's part of the improvement but I don't use either of those extras.. Hope of they add more there's more subscription layers applied

[@trollstjerne]

The problem with Spotify is not its raised prices, but that fact that they pay artists next to nothing. I've been using spotify since 2009, but now i will give Tidal a chance, since they pay artist 4 times as much as spotify does. It will probably take some time to get used to a new interface and rebuilding playlists and so on, but in return i'll get better sound and the artists i listen to will get paid more.

[@Nate612]

i hear that napster is paying artists more per stream than tidal

[@michael4591]

Really? Better sound? Honestly I am a audiophile and I hate how songs sound on spotify! Even with their high resolution

[@nonenothing4412]

Yeah we get it, you're the audiophile, ok, stop, IT'S TIME TO STOP ​@@michael4591

[@ottoman666]

He meant a better sound on tidal ​@@michael4591

[@bactareality]

I'd pay extra if it meant that artists saw some of that extra revenue.., but I'm taking a break from their sub for now

[@chrisreed1718]

Super excited about the new x being 25.5 scale with the 24 frets! Can't wait to pick one up. Gonna ask my boss if I can work some OT.

[@Citizen_JQP]

Dude. I love the sound. That guitar sounds is so damn good man. 🤘

[@glenjamin2703]

You killed it at the workshop Ola

[@StephanePericat]

I switched to Tidal a few years back and it's so much better

[@holtrain81]

Nailed that intro, it hit hard!

[@jparkerriffs]

Awesome 😎.

[@farfly7]

Intro was BADASS!

[@TiagoFilipeCabral]

Cant get enough of those sweet sweeeeet pinch harmonics on the intro... giving me some serious Dimebag vibes

[@rlgm6636]

The tone on opener riff is killer!

[@clowncorpse7230]

Awesome intro song as always Ola 🤘🏻and looking for the new chug project😀

[@jamesosterberg2510]

We love you too Ola !!!

[@adamhumleker3097]

There's a reason that I'm a lifelong old-school metalhead when it comes to buying my albums in my local record store. On another note, Ola did you say "Kitty" as a band at the mayhem fest? They still exist. They came out back when I was 14 or 15, so 26 years ago basically.

[@TheHeadown]

The intro riff of the week was really juicy!

[@hittinskinz24]

I can hear Dimebag’s influence on the clean solo you did. Planet Caravan vibes.

[@mackantosh]

I left Spotify a little over 2 years ago and went with Tidal. Initially I was a little unsure which of the two I was gonna go for long term, but the constant bad choices that Spotify make I keep hearing about makes me so much more confident in my decision.

[@danielhernandez3161]

Hell yeah !!!

[@visionsofbeyond9095]

It was a nice surprise to hear you like Parker guitars Ola, I have one from 1999 and it's the best guitar I've ever owned or played. It's the one guitar I would never sell, I'd rather be buried with it lol

[@dpoultski2499]

I love to see you and Kiko in a band together!!

[@mylogify]

So funny show! Nice videos Ola!!

[@jakeziegler6503]

Just saying the title to “99” put that song straight into my head. I used to listen to that entire album on loop. Man, I need to get a new copy, I’ve had the same one since approx 2008. 😂

[@KINGTHEBEAST]

hell yeah!

[@pyrotattooer4837]

Beautiful intro Ola 🎉🎉🎉🎉

That looked like you had your own Sudae for OLA!

[@Thexpertoneverything]

Gåshund på intro riffen. Pantera vibes deluxe.

[@kramersurfer5280]

timing on that first riff is mental.

[@juliendavid8875]

Hey Ola, great video as usual !!! I'm actually looking for a new guitar and was wondering "S**t, I don't know where to find the differences between guitars in a very simple way : pickups, shape, price, size (for my f***ng short fingers...)... " . Then, I thought : "What If Ola would make videos about comparing 2 different guitars (Solar vs Jackson, ESP vs Chapman... in a same price range) and gives us his though/feedbacks (pros, cons...) ?" That would be very interesting for us ! Thanx Ola

[@ohkee]

Great melodic solo’s!

[@ThrushCZX]

It’s funny, you went from Sweden to Helsinki for Kiko, and the same week I went from London to Helsinki for Metallica. I ran into Adrian in Copenhagen airport on his way to Sweden rocks, and then a few days later I did the same journey as you from Helsinki to Stockholm on my way back to London.

[@kcaudio1125]

Free option but you can’t listen to an album in order to. They mix the tracks and throw in songs from other albums. And some artists or part of their catalog are not available to listen to on the free version. I went back to Amazon music because it’s half the price

[@hoofhearted6900]

Sick ass intro Ola!

[@jasoncrump1886]

Love that bud burst guitar too . The stoners dream guitar . Gotta play sweetleaf on that guitar first thing. Lol

[@jimwguitar3002]

Burps and farts are why I watch your channel ! ! I love SWOLA

[@jackflynn-oakley1937]

The Spotify price hike is because they’re introducing Audiobooks onto the platform, meaning that artists and labels will actually be paid less as even with the hike, there’s less money to go round. There’s a couple of good videos and articles on it. It’s currently being tested in the states but looks likely to be introduced globally. It’s bad.

[@jasonjuneau2948]

Crazy that it's that light out at 4 a.m. I grew up in Northern Canada and during the summer it never really gets dark. It's more like dusk kinda thing. But it was never like midday light at 4 a.m. For me muscle memory is both good and bad. Good because I can just pick up a guitar and play but bad because if I make a mistake or try to start in the middle of a song I'm lost. So people that can have a technical problem on stage and just pick up in the middle of a song they actually know their stuff lol

[@dresdensinn6669]

I remember listening to Evergrey's 'Solitude, Dominance, Tragedy' album in 2000 while on a 3 hour Greyhound bus ride to meet a girl I met on the internet..it's a bittersweet memory but not one I regret.

[@ericwright3646]

glad to see the surgically enhanced spine can handle the weight of those concrete riffs!

[@wulfman15]

90% of the music I stream I own already. I basically buy vinyl left and right (Or I'll buy on BandCamp if possible) and then stream the albums so they can get that extra $0.00000000001 from me.

[@stevenrauschmeier6364]

Hi Ola, have you ever seen the Ibanez art core series of guitars, and would it be possible to see one on the show at some point?

[@setok.7134]

Hi Ola, I've heard amazing things about your guitars and am interested in purchasing one. However, I found the Solar website a bit challenging to navigate compared to other guitar companies' sites. Would it be possible to create a landing page that explains the different guitar types, their features, and the target audience? Additionally, could you add an option to view all guitars at once with a filter function? For example, I wanted to filter for a guitar with a blue flamed maple top that was neck through, but it was difficult to do so. Thank you!

[@russellzauner]

Yeeeahhh new pantera song on the intro! NOICE NOICE NOICE
