These riffs are ch-ugly! :)
instant Swedish riff-saw ;)
Tune it up to e standard tuning and play the entirety of show no mercy slayer album
Could have given us a longer solo
You're a stellar player Pete - that rhythm playing in particular is bitchin'. I'm on my way to your Spotify!
Fucking nice! Been playing guitar since I got my first guitar, a Kramer Focus 4000, Japanese made Rhoads V, with a Maple neck and an original Floyd Rose, at 14 in 1986, and started working on guitars the second day I owned it, replaced the stock pickups with a set of DiMarzio humbuckers. Replaced those two weeks later with a set from Seymour Duncan. Still own it. Started playing bass a few years later. Started building guitars and basses a few years after that. This video and Trogly showing the Korina (Limba) V stuff, is really making me want to build a V...
First time on your channel. Sub.
My gigbag calls me dogshit when I open it... thanks for the video Pete
My gig bag reminds me that I'll never be a good player, I feel your pain bro.
@@matheaudodds787 My Gig bag laughs at the idea I'd ever be going to a gig so insists on just being called a bag.
Ah so that’s where you put Chuggo
Hola Ola
my gig bag doesn't exist for my guitar so my guitar has to tell me im dogshit itself
WILLLLLLLL ITTTTTTTTT CHUG
*WIIIIIIILL IIIIIIT CHUG
Yes it appearently does
@Robbie Bailey yeah, how he spelled it sounds like ola is stuttering :P
yessssss IT WILLLLLLLL!!!!!! LMAO
0:50 thats the most british thing ive seen all day
☕️ 🇬🇧 I love a good cuppa tea :)
@@peteplaysmusic innit m8
Hearing this tone really makes me wanna buy that peavey...
I’ve actually been using Neural DSP Archetype Nolly for my tones recently, but I still love my 6505MH. Thanks for watching! :)
@@peteplaysmusic guess i gotta check that out too :D
I have a 6505 and it sounds amazing! I’d recommend it to anybody😄
As do I! Love my 6505!
I got my 6505 plus last year. First tube amp ever. Ill never get rid of it.
I own this guitar, can confirm my pickup selector is also wired in reverse. Also, this is a limited edition "Halloween" release. I bought this guitar and made no mention to my band of a new instrument purchase. I walked in on jam night with this swinging off me and acted like everything was normal, the reaction was priceless 😂🤘
Odd. I also own it and the pickup selector is wired correctly. Perhaps a bad batch?
@@Buttface1981 the previous owner replaced the original pickups with Emg's so I figured that he got his wires crossed (pun intended 😁) when he installed them. When I saw this I assumed maybe they were all like that 🤷♂️
@@nooneknows3478 I’m looking at buying this soon but was wondering how much room there is for a battery for actives?
@@HelixHawk7 it doesnt need a battery. Its solar powered…sorry. Had to
Mine have no V pattern on the wood . Wonder why
You have the best tone on the whole of RUclips
Thanks! :)
People give Ibanez crap about their model number and Solar are doing the exact same thing yet nobody moans. That red looks great.
That is a fair and valid point.
That's because everything below the prestige line is crap, so the extra ridiculous names make it more annoying 😂
Actually they’re not. Solar has immensely simplified it. Let’s take the A1.6TBR for example. A - body type,
1 - Series (1 being more expensive, and 2 being less expensive)
6 - Number of strings
TBR - Color. In this case, Trans Blood Red
I knew what it was going to be before even seeing the whole name
(I’m not trying to dig on either of these brands, I actually prefer this naming scheme)
@@gabewilliams7462 Yeah I totally agree, I like the Ibanez and Solar names but I'm just sick of people moaning about Ibanez names being descriptive codes when other brands also do it. Solar have the benefit of being new so it being simpler, as well as not mentioning stuff like different woods or pickup configuration so they're not as long.
@@matheaudodds787 everything below prestige line is also made in Indonesia just like all Solar guitars what makes the comparison even more appropriate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
IMO, Solar guitars have the coolest looking renditions of all the classic designs like the RR, Explorer, and the king V design.
They have an rr?
love these at-the-gates'y vibes in your songs
Thanks! Yeah, definitely been on a Swedish vibe lately. It seemed to suit this guitar really well. :)
Glad to find this comment. It was a perfect combo of At The Gates and Trivium to me! 🤘
1:23 you got me :D
Masterpiece xD
The thing about flying Vs is that they are super comfortable while sitting down. At least for me. I just stick the lower horn right between my legs and BAM! The guitar stays exactly where I need it.
Did the same when I had a V. Never understood why ppl find it uncomfortable to play sitting down
@@loeffel999 its because they sit down with it like a strat or a les paul and not like they properly should
classical position this is the guitar
@@loeffel999 I don’t like the classical position, so I can’t play on V’s for shit
To add on to your point, V’s force the player to play it in the proper position when sitting down, classical position. Classical position is also how most guitars situate themselves when you’re standing up, so you become more consistent as you’re playing with your guitar at the same angle every time. V’s enforce that good habit.
love Vs because they are really comfy while sitting and also make any riff feel twice as badass
Solar Vs are much more metal than what Gibson built for Mustaine
I’ve also got a solar V and honestly the best part is the shape. Not only does it look cool, it also feels really ergonomic sitting down and is perfectly balanced when standing up. It has several hardware issues though so that’s annoying
it chugs, everyone loves Ola, one day imma get me a Solar V with a Floyd Rose!
Very excited to decide on which Solar V to get, but I'm almost as excited to experience what happens when opening the case!
I’m testing a v at the moment to and I completely understand why you’re stood up playing this guitar 😂 awesome track man 🤘🏻
I personally like the way V style guitars sit on the body. I mostly like the Roads style V, It sits perfectly.
Always love the songs you write on these vids. You're the kind of guitarist everyone would want in their band, full of riffs and great at song writing.
I love how your videos have so much music and so little talk. Keep it up Pete! Cheers!
Thanks! :)
I laughed so hard when you opened up that case a little bit of wee came out.
Wasn't sure if I wanted the V2.7 in white or red but after seeing that vibrant blood ruby color I'm sold on the red
Sooooooooooo cool song, Pete !!! (You almost killed me with the "Wiiiiiiiill it CHUG ?!" guitar case opening XD )
Aweseome video Pete. Love your song at the end...\m/...
Yes they do. The evertune is legit, the neck is legit, the pickups are great, that mixed with a good rig and it sounds incredible.
The only guitars where i might buy a reverse headstock
I feel the black dahlia murder vibe and that's hot as hell \m/
I've been playing mine for a little over 2 years now and it's honestly my favourite guitar and guitar brand. I can't wait to get another one when I can afford it haha
Ok, the "will it chug" joke cracked me up!!!
Solar guitars are awesome, bought my 2.7A two months ago and I have been absolutely loving it. My first 7-string.
Awesome! :)
I have an S model with Evertune (and now with The Creamery pickups). Best guitar I've owned so far!!!
That’s one of cooler looking V’s I’ve ever seen.
Awsome review, and I can't wait for mine to arrive. I'm getting this exact guitar. Although they use a different wood for the body now. Fantastic playing man🤘😆🤘
I have the neon green V and it’s great! I had to put an extra pedal on my board to boost the sound to make it sound more active since it has passive pickups
Been subbed since your solo on Hello. Great content.... and big love to Ola too.
I have 2 Solars. I have a Type E2.6C and a type A.2.6W. Super happy with them. No issue at all. If Ola releases a V with a blue burst flame maple top, I'll have no choice to sell a guitar from my collection so I can buy one.
My first A 2.6 FR had an issue with the Floyd Rose, it collided with the back cover, so I sent it back to thoman, I don't know how a guitar can make it out of the factory like that, besides you buy a Gibson, the second I got this was fixed, but still the frets job is not really good, if you want low action, you have dead notes with standard tuning and 46 strings.. I really expected more... Have to get it to the luthier to level the frets...
V guitars are nice because how you play them sitting down i always play any kinda guitar held in that classic V hold if that makes any sense but you V owners know what i mean
love how you play and love your videos mate, keep it up
Thanks for watching! :)
@@peteplaysmusic no thank you for making your videos , I’m trying to learn how to play because of you , your a huge inspiration to me thanks again
Sounds like there is metal music in heaven!
I’ve got a first run V1.6 artist (evertune) and farking love it!!! Great video mate and that song is an absolute rippa!!
🤘🏻🇦🇺🤘🏻
Clean riffs bro!
I'd love a Solar
But honestly the reason I like Vs is because I play in the classical position sitting down, and it is my favourite shape to sit down with if I don't have a strap handy.
Damn nice work!
Love it!!! Instant like. Still on my "to get" list!!! Still watching the rest of your chugging now 😁🤘
The song sounds absolutely awesome. It definitely would be fun to learn this one
Come on Ola, send Pete a couple of guitars to review!
Dude,that was some jammin shit,horns🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great song man !
I have this guitar since 1 week, in black and its insane! Rly good guitar
I love solar, i own a a2. 6 c myself.
I stand behind it and Ola all the way but the QC is suffering. A lotof axes, mine included have cracks in the fretboard from the 12:th fret and down...
This makes me sad.. 🥺
#olaenglund
That sucks, this one seems good, I haven’t noticed any cracks at least. Covid has had a massive effect on guitar manufacturing across many companies, I imagine that’s what it could be. Thanks for watching! :)
@@peteplaysmusic love from sweden 🤜🤛
Hype? No. Good mid range guitar? Absolutely. Has my guitar(artist series) shown fret sprout...sadly yes....Other than that, I like the platform, it's a great design. The pups aren't the best, they have a honk to them that is ultra modern. Other than that, I like mine and have considered getting a 6 string. The fret sprout made me take a step back though.
Solar guitars top high end monsters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Killer tune at the end.
They are dope!
How do the pointy metal edges of death of hold up in a gigbag? Is it a tele in the making or can I still pick my teeth with it after a couple of years?
Really love my S1.6 limited edition Solar 🔥
I think I'm gonna get me a Solar power this weekend. Got a km6 mkii schecter and its getting lonely.
wooooooow i love it so muchhhhhhhhhhhh 🤘🤘🤘
in solo so fu**ing awesome
The Guitar looks awesome! maybe a bit thick onthe body shape (I use jackson's randy's) . .does ti weighs a lot or it's light ?
V's are the only shape I want when sitting down. Only way I can get my picking arm somewhat relaxed.
What a killer riff, that guitar totally chugs!!! This video probably made Ola blush a bit!!!
V for Vendetta! 🤘🏽
Thats a proper cracking video that
Awsome bro 😎
I really hope one day I'll get an Solar A2.6 in the future. I think they look really cool.
I got some Slipknot vibes from 3:04 to 3:30. Sweet riffs and sweet guitar!
It reminded me of slipknot too
2:45 where does the riff come from
Beautiful guitars in all aspects :D
There is a lot of talk of gear reviewers not disclosing paid promotion. How does. “I got this for a few weeks from a buddy of mine fit into the mix?”
This really is one of the coolest Vs i ever seen. I love this colour.
Great song!
Thanks! :)
This dude writes some sick shit, kinda reminds me of Dismember or something
It indeed chugs
I had an S1.6hlb. Not the worst guitar I’ve ever played but by no means what I would consider a good guitar. Weakest points were the pickups for sure, followed by the durability of the finish, and the cheap feeling fretboard.
I had a 7 strings solar Guitar and It was really cool 🎸🤘🏻
No neck-dive on this guitar? :)
Killer track, giving me old Carcass vibes
I would love to have been able to lay down drums on this song. It's right up my ally
Is this better than jackson v? The 800 usd -ish one
Yeah I want that. Very good Pete.
Thanks! :)
that song sounds so fucking dope tho
Thanks! :)
@@peteplaysmusic didnt expect u to reply tho hahaha. Keep up the good work the cummunity really enjoys it
I died when you openened the case🤣
Does look very pretty!
That tone though👌👌👌
i loved that guitar , i m not a red color guy but dam beautiful color and the neck ....i already have too many guitars :( my wife would try to kill me for sure , great sound pete
What’s it like sitting down?
bought me this year the lime burst v guitar ... u know whats my favourite guitar now ...
The Limeburst V guitar! :)
Ive got a A2.7 C but im thinking of selling it and buying one of their neon 6 strings
The bright Yellow and Orange ones? :)
V's are also the best for upper fret access
The song is fire
How shreddy is it?
I’ve heard the necks aren’t exactly shredder necks.
What distortion and amp do you play though?
Can you make a video with the hardest trivium riffs?
I want that bag ngl
It’s a nice case and as you’d expect it chugs just as hard as the guitar haha. Thanks for watching! :)
@@peteplaysmusic no problem! Now I want to go visit a store and try one out for myself if I have the chance
OLA! SEND THIS MAN A GUITAR!
Massive Exodus vibes on that solo doe.
that song was amazing! the intro/chorus reminds me a bit of Amon Amarth.
Thanks! :)
I'm hearing a lot of At the Gates personally.
Unleash the Chuggernaut!
That song just scream swedish death metal !
Fuck man , ur amazing !
Vilken jävla dräpar låt!
