Hey Alexa, play amateur porn.
I've always wanted to do that.
Ola the asshole strikes back.
Good to be back.
Hey everyone and welcome to my FAQ number s-sixty-one... excellent.
If you haven't already you should go check out my new 14 days guitar challenge
that I just uploaded to my youtube channel, it's another video series, I know I just keep pumping up video series
but you know what? It's good because then I can keep a continuity in my videos
but I think this one is a really good idea.
It's basically me challenging you to learn a riff
and then you practice it for 14 days
and then you'll just upload your results and show me your progress
and I will do the same and then I will challenge you with another riff for the coming 14 days
So, I think it's an excellent Idea go check out the first one, I uploaded it a couple of days ago.
Also, another thing I heard from markiplier the youtuber...
You know, since YouTube went down for two hours the past week
They're that creators on YouTube are missing out on 30% of the views.
I don't know, people are just complaining about shit all the time
I just want to make sure that you guys are still subscribed
and you have the notification bell... good.
Thank you, great.
First question.
You know we had a really positive vibe going for the latest FAQ, FAQ number 60.
I'm gonna keep that up in FAQ number 61, first question.
Tiago Becerra: 'Why?'
What? Why I upload my videos?
Keep it positive, next question.
"Hey Ola, do you do your own work on your personal guitars? Such as fret polishing/ leveling intonation, etc."
The good thing about being president of Solar Guitars is that if I feel that the guitars are...
You know, need a little bit of handy work to them, I just take a new one out of box.
No.
No, that's not what I do, I actually do all of this myself
I do the intonation, that's not really a problem, or it's not really hard.
Fret polishing... you know, I just clean off the frets.
With these guitars you don't need a fret leveling.
I mean, you just set the truss rod and you're good to go.
So yes, I do a lot of things myself, maybe I'll make a video on how to do all this.
Maybe I did?
"Hola Ola the Swede, can you show us the intro riff to My Own Redemption? It's as heavy as Hulk's left nut."
Thank you for... Uh, Swedish riff of the day, so...
It's it's a little bit too, early for Sw-...
Swedish Riff of the Day, oh that's another segment that I might be doing
but this is Riff of the Day, sorry.
So, it's early for Riff of the Day in this FAQ, but who cares? I'm just gonna do it anyway, so...
Camera, my favorite camera Sony. Hey, Sony, what's up?
What? Oh, preparing image database file, it's fine.
'Please wait'... I'll gladly wait, because I'm so positive today.
Ok, let's see what happens. Ok, so...
It's very easy of a riff.
Now it's not the same tuning s on the album I think the album is like drop C or something
this is in drop D, so it's basically like this.
More.
Is that maximum?
There it f***ing is, okay, great. So, here is the riff, sorry.
Oh... oh shit, I need to practice.
Okay, I do not know how to play this part exactly, but it's something like that and then there's...
This is the Fortin Nameless plugin by the way, it's chugging as hell right now.
Thank you Mr Camera, I'm gonna use you later.
Didn't really f*** me over that much today, it's because I'm positive.
but my computer turned off because I didn't do shit, okay good.
Clint Norwood: "I just want to say thanks for my Solar S1.6BLBM.
"This is the first piece of gear I've ever owned that I felt like I ripped YOU off
"by how cheap it was for such a great guitar, best one I've ever played."
Oh shit, that's awesome.
Look at what I have here, isn't this the same guitar?
It's actually kind of like the same guitar, this is the prototype and yes I agree, it's a steal to be honest.
You know, with the hipshot bridge USA, stainless steel frets, luminlay glow-in-the-dark, Duncan Solar...
Yeah, this is awesome.
Poplar burr going on there and you know...
this one, since it's a prototype, it's a different type of back it's a mahogany...
Mahogany wood, same as the regular ones that you have and then you have Jatoba stripes.
So, this is a little bit different than the ones that you have and it's also...
What?
So yes, oh shit, talking too much about Solar guitars, Ola Englund, the president of Solar Guitars.
"Can you extend the coffee with Ola to maybe singers and other musicians
"and in that way increase the subscribers?"
Could do that, but you know, I just don't get along with singers to be honest, so...
Maybe... Maybe no.
"Hey Ola, you ever hear of the band Wretched?
"if not, check out Beyond the Gates, like At the Gates, but beyond... prt 1.2"
I'm well aware about Wretched because I toured with them back in the day with Six Feet Under, it was...
Six Feet Under, Dying Fetus and 'Wretchead', or is it 'Wretchd'?
I have no idea, I don't remember... or was it... when we pl-... and Revocation?
No, I... yeah my memory is kinda failing me, maybe it wasn't that tour
but I have toured with them, they're an awesome, incredible band
and I actually tried to find my t-shirt, my Wretched t-shirt for this video, but I couldn't find it.
I don't know why I'm looking up in the roof but it's definitely not there.
"Hi Ola, might be a question for your next FAQ
What benefits do you have in keeping real, tube amps in your office
"when you mostly use plugins at home and digital floorboards at gigs?
"asking this because I do this as well
"and I find myself not using my awesome custom-made amp head anymore
"Feeling a bit guilty, I must admit"
it's perfectly fine, I mean, the thing is that...
right now plugins and all the extra bullshit that you buy that are expensive...
you know, floorboards... they're really, really good right now, I must say and...
definitely not exactly entirely up to par with a real tube amp
but it's really convenient for me to just plug in to my computer and play with this chunky as...
See? I almost made a song there and that's just because me being plugged in
rather than you know... 'Oh, I'm just gonna plug in my amplifier and play and then...' Oh, the riff is gone.
That's how it is so... but you know what? I still love playing tube amplifiers
I just made a video this week of my Fortin Satan and it's just a pure joy, it's...
it's something with the response that's so different
because you're not getting, you know, all the DA to AD conversion
and all that you're getting with computers and you know, digital things and... SMS on my phone here.
So, I mean it's just that the feel is just 'mwah' with tube amplifiers, so...
There's always, always, always a reason to keep one or two or maybe ten in your room
"Hi Ola, I'm a new owner of a Solar A2.6
"Hi Ola, I'm a new owner of a Solar A2.7
"having received my several days ago I had to reach out and thank you personally
"because I haven't been this impressed with an instrument in-"
Yeah, just choking on my dick for a second there.
You know, I'm actually trying to keep down the Solar Guitars questions and comments in my videos, but...
it's a problem when 80% of the questions are about Solar Guitars
so I'm really trying to find the ones in between
but yeah thank you so much for the very long, long, long, long, long explanation
and thank you so much I think you got your point across thank you and thank you for the support shit
"Opinions on Architects? Cheers from Amsterdam."
Okay.
It's time for 'Ola reacts to a music video'.
And... oh shit.
You know, my mousepad is getting really really disgusting right now, that's the silicone.
It's kinda like breaking out of there.
You know what? I'm gonna buy a new mousepad right here, right now, because this is Ola's FAQ video
I do whatever the f*** I want.
Stupid mouse pads, okay.
I'm gonna buy a stupid mouse pad, there's silicone all over the place here
not good for you if you have kids running around eating shit.
'I'll try to be nicer if you try to be less stupid' ahah that's so true and fun
'Shut up stupid', I like that one
'To fish or not to fish' ugh... 'Jesus can fix stupid'...
These are all fun, but you know I don't... 3D mousepads...
What the f*** is this?
Johnny Hallyday mousepad...
Okay... Ooh, this is cool.
Whoa, I'm gonna buy this. Shit. Buy.
That's how you do it in Sweden, just buy shit but.
But okay, I want... that was cool though, that was Zelda, this is like I'm making a...
a sponsored video for Wish... I'm not.
You can use whatever f***ing website you want, I just... There it is, what is this?
This is it, this is what I want.
and this looks very appropriate, shit I'm gonna buy this as well, this is awesome.
Breasts or bottom?
It's a very tough choice.
Is my wife here? No, good.
All my female subscribers will probably leave, but I'll take the bottom one.
Ooh, what the hell? These are... these are not... okay.
F***ing pervert Ola, what are you doing? but wha-
Oh my god, shit.
Okay.
I- I- ...Here it is, since I bought one for me I have to buy one for my wife as well.
Excellent, yes.
Now it's all ok, I bought one for my wife as well.
So we're good.
She's gonna be so happy... oh, it's expensive, but who cares? I'm just happy to buy shit.
So... Architects.
I can't even spell 'Architects'... 'Archchchitetcs'. Okay.
Okay, let's listen to Architects, I have heard Architects a little bit and...
18 million? Holy shit okay, that's a lot, a lot of views.
Okay.
I've heard them before and I know... I think one of the brothers passed away or something like that
that was really tragic, I remember the post.
I guess they're kind of like...
You know, modern prog.
And I think I like some of their songs, but I'm gonna check this out right now
It's a sun... no, it's the Doomsday.
There's not really that many happy musical videos out there now, are they?
It's usually about doomsdays and shit.
Alright, half the face, it's fine.
This is the song I heard by the way.
This is a good riff, I like this.
Okay I'm gonna be honest, I actually got a little goosebumps there, it was really nice.
Oh, that's the black hole right there.
Crystals... Oh, Crystal Peak in Hollow Knight, a very good and hard level.
I like this kind of you know, scream...
Screaming, but with a tone in the voice, I try to do that with Mario sometimes, it's not easy I must say.
Oh, it's just like in the Avengers movie, they're kind of like... Spoiler alert.
I hated that movie by the way, just a little side note. Oh.
Oh, that's like Thanos right there, touching the universe exactly like the movie
Yeah, you know, I've heard this...
I've heard this song before, I heard a little bit about them
I... whenever I listen to them, listen to Architects, it's like...
Shit yeah, it's probably a good band I probably should get into
I just have so much other shit to do you know like playing Hollow Knight...
I have to finish Hollow Knight so I can play Red Dead Redemption 2
Great. Sparar, sparar, sparar.
That's save, that's a good Swedish word for you, 'sparar'.
It's 'saving'.
Maybe I should have...
Swedish word of the day, okay.
For the record I've seen a lot of problems when people try to say my name properly in Swedish.
You know when I present myself I say 'Ola Englund', which is not entirely the Swedish way of saying my name
it's more like an Americanized way of saying my name.
And I'm gonna teach you the correct way to say my name in Sweden
I've seen a lot of people trying to explain how to say it, like 'Uula'
With a 'U' or 'Uuuula' or whatever
And it's not entirely there the cool thing about my name is that it's a really big 'Oh'
It's very deep and very manly, the way you say my name is...
'Ola'
Ola Englund.
Ola Englund här, Ola Englund där.
Ola Englund, Ola. Ola.
Oslo... Oslo. That's a city in Norway by the way, Oslo.
Well, we got that out of the way, my name's Ola.
It's like, when you say it, it's like you're calling to the northern gods, I know.
I know.
Okay, great, next question. Ola.
Ola, sorry.
"How to make good metal music without having great technical skills?
"I'm into bands like Death or Lamb of God
"but I'm unable to play such difficult riffs in a very fast tempo
"so is there any way to come up with some good sounding brutal metal
"when you actually can't play too fast?"
Well, there's always the thing that you can always practice something slow and then go up and...
You know...
Bonus burp.
You can always start slow.
And you can actually write something slow too, like...
So, that's a very good example riff actually...
Where I play... it's a Feared song, it goes like this, let's see if I can bring that blue in there...
I don't remember how to play it because I'm Ola Englund the forgetterer
That's one of those riffs that I, you know, wrote really slow and then just sped it up basically, so...
So, you can always do that if you have a riff that you feel like 'I want to play something quicker'
just practice it until you get it to a good tempo but you think feels good.
Yes.
"Hi Ola, do you find it hard to stay motivated?
"since you are self-employed, do you have a set daily schedule to get things done and stay productive?"
You know what? It's actually really easy for me, because I come from an office environment
and you know, I've always had a really good work ethic
So I brought those office hours and work ethics from my desk-job, when I was working as an accountant.
So, usually it's really easy if you just have a plan with yourself, I have one of these books
that I just write all my shit in, so like every early morning or late evening the day before the next day.
Ola Englund, the adviser.
I write up what I'm supposed to do and I just... next day I try and do as much as I can
Just pull them off: 'Okay, what's simple to get out of way?', I do that first
just so you feel that you get shit done it's all about, you know, good working strategies.
And sometimes you feel like you have so much to do, just write it all up
Start with trying to complete the tasks that you know will take the shortest time
because then you feel like you're getting shit done and it's easier to do the rest, so...
There you go, a little Ola Englund the tipperer...
"Does your wife say 'Olala' every time she sees you naked?"
I wish I could ask her, she out getting the kids.
But no, I guess she's not that impressed.
Tyler Schubert: "Ola what is your preference, standardized or reverse headstocks?"
Well, obviously I like reversed headstock, because that is just so good-looking
And you know what? A lot of people complain about 'oh you can't touch the tuning pegs' and all that.
Well, look at this, butt face.
Oh, Ola, the positive guy, I forgot. Look at this, beautiful.
You know you hold your neck like this, right?
Doesn't it make more sense to have the tuners here on the right side of the the headstock?
I mean you're here playing... a little fine-tuning...
If you have them up here it's like... fine-tuning... Oh.
Huh? Huh?
Ha!
Damn straight.
"Hey Ola, have you ever thought about making YouTube artists (Fluff, Agufish, Jared Dines) Solar Guitars artists?
"Have you tried? Also... who all are... Solar..."
"Also, who all are Solar ar-"
"Also, who all are Solar artists?"
Tough question... I don't know. Regarding the YouTube artists
I have not reached out to a single one of them
but there are a couple that have reached out to me
and you'll probably see a bunch of them playing something soon, I hope.
You know, I'm too proud to ask people...
...to reach out to artists and people to try out the guitars
and so far we've had a lot of people that come to me and ask
which is way more up my alley because I'm not a salesman, I don't want to go in there like
'Hey man, you wanna play my guitars?'
I'm kind of like allergic to that, so...
but there will be a couple of YouTube guys playing
I mean there's already like Arnold Hablewitz... hopefully I've said his name correc
but, he already made some demos of it, Andrew Baena...
really cool guy, he also has a couple of solar guitars and...
and you'll also see from a couple of other guys soon, I'm not sure if they have...
You understand.
"Hey Ola, what plugin do you use for the drums on the Feared albums?"
I use a plugin called Kevin Talley.
And he's a human.
"Man, love this channel, everything about it. Can you link us to the tracks you play underneath each FAQ?"
Okay, so when you hear music in my FAQ videos you can probably guarantee it's a Feared song
so just check the Feared catalogue
because that's the only music I can use on my channel without getting flagged by a label
because that's my music and my publishing so...
That's good, so it's basically Feared music just over and over and over until you like it.
"Hi Ola, when you record rhythm guitar for an album, how many tracks do you usually record?
"and how do you place them left/right wise?"
90% of the time... 95% of the times I just record one left, one right guitar fully panned
and then for a chorus for instance I maybe do two more for a melody or something like that
but usually I like having one and two, it just sounds more natural I mean
I mean, when you use quad-tracking, for instance, which can sound really thick
sometimes it gets a little bit too washed out.
That's because me being a not really that good of a guitar player, but...
I like the feel of having just two guitars because it becomes more live, if you understand what I'm saying.
"Hey Ola I'm a big fan I would like to become a member and I can't even open that link
"I tried to ask a few Friends in Croatia to open it too, but they can't
"even my friend in Japan can't open the link, can please help us?"
I think there's a couple of ways to become a member
I think one is to go on a computer and do it, I don't think it works on a mobile phone to sign up
and if it doesn't work on a computer you can use... it's probably not available in your country
or the YouTube membership thing has not rolled out in your country
but you can still become a member and get all the perks by using a proxy to actually sign up.
And after you signed up, you don't need a proxy anymore.
So, it's just that first instance when you sign up that you need a proxy and it will work, okay?
Thank you so much for considering becoming a member it's an awesome, awesome thing and...
Great, Ola the salesman. No, we're having a great time in the membership thing
It's a good community, I'm doing live streams, extra videos and stuff like that...
and you're missing out, I promise.
"Did you say no to the Beyond Creation riff because you don't have an 8-string?
"or do you not know any? or do you just hate my favorite band?"
"-Can you show me a Beyond Creation riff? -No."
"Then why put the question up, you ass fart."
I love pissing people off.
No, I just said no...
You know, Beyond Creation is just way too technical for me
that's why I said no, I can't play their shit, it's too hard.
"Solar project when? Is that short enough? I need more of those tasty jams"
Okay so, he's talking about the Solar project that I have.
I'm actually kind of in the background of all this content making, I'm trying to put out a solo album.
And I don't know when it's being out
but I have a couple of songs, I'll make sure to let you guys know on the process in a later...
...hour.
"What do you think of Tosin Abasi?"
Okay, I'm gonna get shit for this
but I think the Tosin Abasi is the only guy other than Meshuggah
that actually made something different with an 8-string.
I'm not saying all the bands, but a lot of the other bands that use 8-strings
they just sound like Meshuggah when doing the 8-string play.
He made it his own thing and I think he's very unique
and the sound that he's created and Animals as Leaders is a very unique band
and it's something I truly enjoy, because it's something different from what I've heard before.
He has such a captivating technique and he's also a very nice guy in person.
Maybe I'll see you at NAMM Tosin, I love you.
"Ola what man. I want to know this: why Sweden has so many good bands?
"the gobern- the government gives free music lessons?
"Give instruments? Give money to support bands? Cheers from Costa Rica."
No, the government is not giving up money to people in Sweden
but in Swedish schools they have the these after-school activities
where you can go to a place and hang out basically
and there you can try out instruments, you can try and play in a band...
and you know, they encourage people to learn and play music
but I know a lot of people have the misconception that the government gives instruments and money to artists
It doesn't really work that way, but you can as a band, if you have a band circle
you can have the government pay a little bit of a cost
of like if you have a rehearsal space and stuff like that
so you can get contribution to your band to pay some some costs and stuff like that.
So that's what it is.
And that was the last question.
Great, awesome, shut the door.
Hodor.
Let's chug a little bit more.
Shit, that sound man, it's insanely insane.
Okay guys, thank you so much for watching this video
I thought that this was a very positive one even though I know a lot of people try to throw me off
but it's not gonna happen, I'm positive Ola
positively-only-diddly Ola.
