[@warmachine2098]

Admirable. Too often people run an endless cascade of pedals from their Ukulele into their amp. Good to see Ola go straight into the Marshall 🤣

[@russellzauner]

Pretty sure this is more of an Uberschall uke, but this was healthy

[@-jank-willson]

its not a real uke unless it's got a whammy bar

[@TVoltG]

I was a lead ukulele player in my death ska funk band growing up. I still don't know why we weren't huge anywhere other than our garage..

[@9hk38f]

All jokes aside, that actually doesn’t sound horrible.

If you want a ukulele that will actually chug, check out the Risa electric ukuleles. They are actual solid body electric ukuleles with wound strings and actual pick ups. They're high quality ukes made in Germany styled after the most popular guitar styles, the Lp, Strat and the Tele.

[@TheGhostGuitars]

Thanks, I've mentioned the Vorson, but couldn't remenber exactly what was Risa's name. I agree, dollar for dollar the more expensive Risa is a better brand in that it's better built out of the box. However, the cheaper Vorson isnt too bad either as long as ye no mind doing some setup mods (in my case, swapping the saddles to a narrower set).

[@AllofJudea]

But why

[@cjlooklin1914]

@@AllofJudea Some people prefer ukuleles to standard scale length and string number guitars.

[@housethegrate6093]

Yeah girls

[@ericdpeerik3928]

Flight does solid bodies for a more reasonable price, if it's just a toy

[@ZeeEm1991Gr]

It's always a blast trying out guitar riffs on non-guitar stringed instruments 😀

[@claudevieaul1465]

Usually they work great on cello and piano, for instance...

[@jadensimmons6646]

@@claudevieaul1465 yeah they work the best on a super saw.

[@Mikehoncho191]

Black sabbath riffs on standard tuned bass is a great example of this

[@tomaszgrzesik3916]

In ukulele the top string is usually high G. You can replace it with low G and it will chug like hell.

[@chrisact9601]

Pissing myself laughing, Ola. I love how you find the awkward (in this case, the feedback thing) and just lean into it. Thanks for the laugh.

[@danggerraham]

Best Will It Chug yet! Even a fail is a win. The Slayer probably helped.

[@TheGhostGuitars]

The ukulele uses a GCEA reentrant tuning, where the first string, G, is tuned higher than the second string C. Now it's also common to tune the G lower than the C in the linear tuning. I have several ukuleles, most are in Hi-G, but I have a few that are tuned Lo-G or even DGBE. Love seeing the uke used in ways different from the traditional way. If ye wanna try chug an ukulele, try a solidbody electric ukulele! I have two that can chug, but ye don't have to take my word for it. Search and you'll find a few out there. The two I have are Vorsons, but they needed a few fixes to the incorrect setup they had out of the box (mainly a change to the narrower 10.2mm saddles). Once that was done they kick arses! EDIT: there's another brand called the Risa, it's more expensive, but also better made. Kind like comparing a BMW to a Hyundai. Well, both Risa and BMW are German, LOL.

[@amberyooper]

You beat me to it on the tuning. :-) I had a Lanakai tenor uke that I put the low G string on to give it that "low G" sound, and that worked nicely. Then I discovered baritone ukuleles, and that's what I play now. Standard tuning for the baritone is DGBE. Same chord fingering, different chord. I built a solid body electric baritone uke, it's rather interesting with a bar magnet pickup...

[@BOBANDVEG]

Gives us 2 rows of power 5 chords lol

[@anthonystark5412]

Easily Ola's funniest "WILL IT CHUG!". Coincidentally, also his best playing. TWO THUMBS UP!

[@TimothyHuffGuitar]

Ola, you really seemed like you was seriously enjoying yourself playing that ukelele! I cracked up when you played Slayer and started giggling a little! Awesome 🤘🤘

[@Westiffer]

Ola: Wears clap shirt Also Ola: claps to start It's a good day when Ola gives you the clap 👏

[@daBEAGLE1017]

Lol

Hahaha he's the Clapmaster

[@rkgaustin]

Came in to say this. Found my work already done. Leaving satisfied.

[@MikeWalsh814]

I think I can speak for almost everyone when I say we're expecting some death metal ukelele on your next album, Ola.

[@jinxie1080]

@ 4:25 and onwards just convinced me that a ukelele through a hi-gain amp is essential if I ever want to make avant-garde metal. All that feedback and distortion sounded magnificent lmao

[@PrakharSrivastav]

Came for the chugs, stayed for Ola's rendition of I'm broken on a ukelele. One of the best videos ever

[@DaveAtonal]

Recommendation: if there is such a thing as an electric shamisen, please feature one in the Will It Chug? series, that will be real fun!!!! 🤣

[@Bearded_SARTECH]

You need one of the Dean ML ukuleles. Bought one for my mom as a gag gift....she loves it and plays it all the time.

[@seanh7585]

"We tuned it down, played some slayer, and at the end of the day that's all that matters" Truely words to live by

[@Chris-qg2fg]

"We tuned it down, played some Slayer, that's what matters, Man..." f'in right... why I ❤ Ola

[@claypoole702]

So now we need a Solar Metal Uke now. I like it icy. I can think of so many etherial sounding applications for this. Awesome. Ola signature Hot Uke pickups.

[@theneverwas2835]

Dude, I didnt know the chug was so old. Your knowledge is amazing.

[@jmabs5096]

0:16 I was fully expecting to hear the normal "CHUGGGG CHUGGGG CHUGGGG" sound clip you usually use. This did NOT disappoint! 😂

[@CouchEconomyTX]

I actually really love that sound, it’s so cool. Metal uke is an underutilized instrument

[@shovelrocker7102]

Really needed this video today! Must be one of the funniest videos in here, all while Ola giving his best ukulele metal lesson to us all! Brilliant! :)

[@petepetrich7828]

It chugged as a vocal mic! Gallant effort, sir!

[@Viper-dz2kw]

Sounded way cooler then I would have expected tbh

[@netanelro]

This is your best video of all time

[@trefwoordpunk2225]

Actually the band SUNN use these in the studio, they rock out at a normal speed recording at 30ips, then the tape op run the machine at 7.5ips and created total doom....well not really but I think something like that would work!

[@NocturnalSilence45]

That was fantastic. Never heard someone make one of those sound metal. Awesome

[@JosephBliss]

I totally expected a burp into the ukulele pickup lol

[@RedVarg91]

I've put my telecaster ukulele (or telelele for short) through drop pedal and metal zone and recorded melodic black metal song with it xD

[@HandlebarOrionX]

5:22 Now I know what Slayer sounds like on an old printer from 1992

[@ben_h7147]

The riff at 2:48 is killer. Ola can make anything sound badass

[@hammyjammies]

4:27 for some epic black metal vocals

[@oyora]

trve enough

[@jimdarhower4945]

That’s the effect Maynard uses. I’ve seen Tool live and he busts out a shitty ukulele and sings into it. Good times.

[@MusicTherapyLaz]

So funny... I saw one of those in a store with a friend... the store sales guy was like, want to play it... plug it in? It was a quick.. nah! But you of course... make it fun! The color is nice and it does look more cool than any other Uke! DEATH METAL CORE UKE BAND.. YEAH MAN! Oh wait... an EVH Tribute Uke band... I want one in a Black & White stripped version now! 😎🤘🎸🤪

[@lgv3051]

I need one of those pickups on my Mustang. That's what I've been missing all these years. Thanks Ola

[@jasonday8334]

I was at Rockville last year, there was a shred contest, 30 seconds to Shred. American Music was hosting, anyways the final contestants had to shred on a Ukulele, I dig the Pantera.

Here the Uke was thinking it was going to live a life of playing Jason Mraz and Bruno Mars. then Ola Buys it and hooks it up to a Half stack and plays Raining Blood 😂 Easily one of my favorite videos now on the channel

[@VertUnderscore]

I unironically like the sound of the distorted ukelele. it doesn't sound metal but it sounds really good for rock

[@StephenBecker]

Man, when you tuned that down with the Whammy, it ended up sounding like a cello going through the distortion channel!

[@OrangeSunnSet]

It doesn't matter that the ukelole doesn't chug when you lie on the floor laughing because Ola yells into the ukele and it's just beautiful madness.

[@anthonyswartz2699]

Funny that I just checked this out because I was telling one of my coworkers today that I was planning on playing my Iceman uke through a Pitchfork pedal and a Morley wah. Nice demo of the possibilities.

[@nicholastotoro7721]

It's somewhat common on soprano ukes, but you don't need to tune it re-entrant tuning. You can restring it specifically to have that low-G an octave lower.

[@cmg3988]

Ola is the best, one of my favorite follows to this day

[@MrQwazar001]

Rig for next feared album confirmed !

[@xb5883]

This is hilarious. Ola you have me cracking up

[@MrJeniq]

That was super cool! However before that hard NO on ukuleles not chugging I'd still like to see you try a) down tuning the upper string b) toying with that tone knob a bit c) getting a solid body uke

[@RsSquier51]

I would recommend going with a solid body electric tenor ukulele and replace the high G with a low G. I think you'll get the results you wanted.

QUESTION FORM BEGINNER FAQ Hi Ola ! i've been watching your chanel for some years and thats a real goldmine of info and fun :D Despite i play LTD B-205SM bass (beacuse of chonky hands XD ) i'm considering buying a guitar to begin with that could hold some of those drop tunings as well. Since you play the music i'm into you are my best bet to ask. I'was thinking about Jackson dinky Js22, but the question is, could you make a video with some compareson and recomendation about beginner budget guitars something in 300 - 500 euro range ? I'd be very gratefull as well as lots of guys here i presume :D Wishing all the best nad greetings from Poland !
