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.
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).
@ 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
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 🤘🤘
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.
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...
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! :)
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.
good choice in microphones and having the distant stereo mic made this very clear, keep up the good shit Ola, gaining huge amounts of respect for you the more you do your own thing, the more i will watch.........
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! 😎🤘🎸🤪
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!
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.
Will it chug? Ola Englung. Tonight we will see if we can get Ola Englung to chug using a pickup from a ukulele plugged into a Marshall. Seriously the best episode ever.
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
Here in Hawaii, my friend was in a band called "The B Team". They were a punk rock band with a drummer, U-Bassist, and a singer/steel string electric uke player. Lol
I was one of the few people typing a comment under "Will It Chug" series, that you should try Ukulele. But the most liked comment was from another guy, I hope he will be happy too!
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.
*CLAP*
PALC
Lol it was picking up your voice 😂😂
BURP
PING
Chlamydia?
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 🤣
Pretty sure this is more of an Uberschall uke, but this was healthy
its not a real uke unless it's got a whammy bar
Ola yelling into a uke is the content I subscribe for.
Indian music
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..
All jokes aside, that actually doesn’t sound horrible.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You were in the Flaming Tsunamis?
because mostr people wqouldnt mix death with funk sadly
@@andrewblawson no The Flaming Toilet Swirls..

But why
@@AllofJudea Some people prefer ukuleles to standard scale length and string number guitars.
Yeah girls
Flight does solid bodies for a more reasonable price, if it's just a toy
It's always a blast trying out guitar riffs on non-guitar stringed instruments 😀
Usually they work great on cello and piano, for instance...
@@claudevieaul1465 yeah they work the best on a super saw.
Black sabbath riffs on standard tuned bass is a great example of this
In ukulele the top string is usually high G. You can replace it with low G and it will chug like hell.
Best Will It Chug yet! Even a fail is a win. The Slayer probably helped.
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.
@ 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
Came for the chugs, stayed for Ola's rendition of I'm broken on a ukelele. One of the best videos ever
Easily Ola's funniest "WILL IT CHUG!".
Coincidentally, also his best playing.
TWO THUMBS UP!
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 🤘🤘
"We tuned it down, played some slayer, and at the end of the day that's all that matters"
Truely words to live by
I think I can speak for almost everyone when I say we're expecting some death metal ukelele on your next album, Ola.
5:22 Now I know what Slayer sounds like on an old printer from 1992
Ola: Wears clap shirt
Also Ola: claps to start
It's a good day when Ola gives you the clap 👏
Lol
Hahaha he's the Clapmaster
Came in to say this. Found my work already done. Leaving satisfied.

Gives us 2 rows of power 5 chords lol
"We tuned it down, played some Slayer, that's what matters, Man..." f'in right... why I ❤ Ola
4:27 for some epic black metal vocals
trve enough
That’s the effect Maynard uses. I’ve seen Tool live and he busts out a shitty ukulele and sings into it. Good times.
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! :)
This is your best video of all time
Pantera on a Ukulele.....My life is complete! XD Love ya Ola!!
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.
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.
OMG!!! Ola you have one the internet! This is the best thing I will see all day!
The riff at 2:48 is killer. Ola can make anything sound badass
It chugged as a vocal mic! Gallant effort, sir!
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!!!! 🤣
Sounded way cooler then I would have expected tbh
Dude, I didnt know the chug was so old. Your knowledge is amazing.
4:35 the best part of the video😂
I totally expected a burp into the ukulele pickup lol
The hero that the world needs and which apparently does not deserve is Ola who make ukulle chugs. Please don't give up, world needs you on this.
0:16 I was fully expecting to hear the normal "CHUGGGG CHUGGGG CHUGGGG" sound clip you usually use.
This did NOT disappoint! 😂
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
good choice in microphones and having the distant stereo mic made this very clear, keep up the good shit Ola, gaining huge amounts of respect for you the more you do your own thing, the more i will watch.........
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.
I actually really love that sound, it’s so cool. Metal uke is an underutilized instrument
That was fantastic. Never heard someone make one of those sound metal. Awesome
That’s a sick lead tone
I unironically like the sound of the distorted ukelele. it doesn't sound metal but it sounds really good for rock
lmfao!! that was killer! man u got that right hand blistering metal love tha shred bro!!
Gotta say, that's the best sounding Uke I've ever heard! lol
This has just made my morning 🤘
Okay, that...was...HILARIOUS.Made my day so much better :D
4:30 ola is currently tripling the worth of this ukulele
Your sense of humor kills me bro!
Probably the best will it chug video, period
Who but Ola could rock out on a Ukulele
Ola is the best, one of my favorite follows to this day
I need one of those pickups on my Mustang. That's what I've been missing all these years. Thanks Ola
3:53 for epic TOOL - Intro
Didnt think it would sound so good. Maybe its just Ola.
I'm impressed by the simple fact that this video is over 7 minutes long. 🤘
without a doubt.... the heaviest and most entertaining video i have ever watched in my fucking life...
This is brilliant! Hugely entertaining. Thank you.
The need is for someone to accompany you on a toy piano. The results would be an entirely new metal genre. Bravo
i think you mean keyboard as piano wouldnt get the distiortion or gain
Ola Always good for a Morning Laugh

Did it Chug? *_NO_* ! But was it Epic? *_HELLS YES_* !!!
Oh my god, I’m dying. 😂 Your best work yet. 🤣
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.
Glorious. This is the kind of thing I come here for.
4:25 guess I just found out the best way to record vocals for a black metal project
When I woke up this morning I can certainly tell you I did not expect to see gallops on a ukulele. Today was a good day. Thank you.
Will it chug? Ola Englung. Tonight we will see if we can get Ola Englung to chug using a pickup from a ukulele plugged into a Marshall. Seriously the best episode ever.
BEST WILL IT CHUG VIDEO EVER!!!🤘
Ok now I kind of want to see some metal band just randomly pull out a ukulele in the middle of the song and start soloing on it 😂
Rob Scallon can attest for ukeleles being metal AF
Sunday Uke Group is the best thing ever
Who?
@@Ecthelion9 Rob Scallon
bought this same uke for my daughter last year, she loves it
Speed picking at 3:00 was awesome and hilarious all at once.
Man, when you tuned that down with the Whammy, it ended up sounding like a cello going through the distortion channel!
jesus christ what a masterpiece of a video
very professional review of a very professional piece of gear 10/10
Ola....hilarious man! Thanks for the great video!
Rig for next feared album confirmed !
Only Ola would make a uke chug 😂🤘🏼
That sound cool AF, wow! 😊
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
Extra nummer vid nästa haunted gig
Next NAMM Announcement: Solar Chugulele
This was incredible. A+
4:24 Awesome Michael Winslow impression. Yes, I’m old. 😆
Love the Pantera broken ukulele style🤘👹
I knew I had to check this out when you did a will it chug version with a ukulele.
I'm proudly wearing my Chug Life shirt tonight..lets see what happens..chug, around here, has multiple meanings!
HAHAHA! Loved the video, funny as hell. Good lord you pick fast! When I want to pick that fast I play it with my electric toothbrush.
Here in Hawaii, my friend was in a band called "The B Team". They were a punk rock band with a drummer, U-Bassist, and a singer/steel string electric uke player. Lol
Love the t-shirt! Epic
Excuse me? What?! I didn’t know you could fricken add distortion let alone play it with peddles! That’s awesome, Metal! 🤘🏼

Awesome job man!
I have the blonde tele one. I hook it up to my big amp and 4x12's all the time! It's fun and I love the neck.
MITO! daje Ola (daje = grande,BIG Ola) :D \mm/
This is hilarious. Ola you have me cracking up
This is top notch content right there! 🤣 Thanks for a good start on this day ❤️
I had an ex gf that played uke and played metal songs on it acoustically, that was always fun she played raining blood too
