Ola Englund ..ola get "vogg from DECAPITATED"! "Machine-Head"..for coffee!! vogg is the best metal riff guitar player today's time!! amazing talent!!😈😈😈🔥🔥
Thx Ola... I requested.this a few weeks ago and never heard from you... but, I guess you did.. This guy is a monstrous guitarist.. Thx. My G series with Evertune Solar is amazing and, Frederik should use it
He's really laid back and easy to talk to. I had the honor of chatting with him at a record store signing while the rest of the band rummaged through LPs.
but then it wouldn't be this free anymore, be it for the topic, or the way it is presented. it'll be driven solely what the audience would want. no more freedom for Ola, I guess?
Fredrik is so good at widdly-woo playing. What a badass. One of my favorite things about modern Opeth is that when Fredrik and Mikael trade solos - their styles really come out and you can always tell who is playing which one. They are a great pair.
I actually get very confused as to who plays which solo at the end of Burden. I know Mikael is good, but there are some passages that I'm sure are Fred's but then the next solo is equally as complex and I wonder if that one was actually Fred.
32:50: This reaction is exactly why Fredrik is IMO one of the most interesting players of this generation. The guy has his Yngwie and Blackmore repertoire but mixes it up with really cool sounding fusion-y passages that don't disrupt the overall melodic direction of his solos.
This rules so hard. Thanks so much for posting. Agree about Åkesson being hugely underrated. Might be in the minority amongst the metal fans but I love the direction Opeth has taken since Heritage. Been a fan since My Arms Your Hearse but I love that they're doing what they love. ⚡
Absolutely loved this interview. Bringing Fredrik here was something huge. Loved to know that Ola was once a student of Fredrik. So Ola had to be a freaking good player. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Just saw Opeth live a little more than a month ago. New songs were great live. Also, all the records at the show were signed by the band for normal price. Shows how much they appreciate their fans.
I’ve all the time in the world for Frederick. Not only is he a genuinely cool guy, but he’s an excellent and hugely underrated guitarist, which for me is really frustrating. Fred deserves much more credit than he gets. You rule Frederick!! Thanks for this Ola!🤘🏻😎💯
It is to his credit that Opeth is an amazing band. Obviously singer being the architect, but that by no means takes away from the contributing musicians. I am grateful that a younger friend of mine pointed me in this direction to check them out, I was reluctant to want to listen to new things, and boy was I a proven fool. I am happy they are not strictly METAL in the stereotypical sense, you know by the numbers, chug, chug, chug. I like every period of their career that I have heard so far.
You definitely have one of the best shows in RUclips and ALL the internet, your guests feels authentics and comfortable talking with you they are just themselves and that's is very inspiring THANKS A LOT OLA!!!
OMG, coffee with Fredrik. Amaaaazing. Thanks, and yes, he's an amazing but underrated guitarist and musician. You kind of have to be an amazing and talented musician to play in Opeth. ;)
@@gaukarmadhouse That's another masterpiece of an album from them. I feel like it transports you back to the Middle Ages. My personal favorite track is Serenity Painted Death but there's not a single bad one.
I wish it was at least an hour long! Frederik just got into the groove! Please, Ola, this is a great series, but make it longer :-) (that's what she said as well)
I could never do this I am intimidated by big celebrities I would probably have a nervous breakdown. What a legend. Even I am getting old. Watershed solos are not of this planet.
Heyyyyy... I just made coffee! Perfect time for this upload. Get my morning coffee and morning practice session in. Then listen to master of the universe while I shower for the day. Excellent timing.
Awesome coffee chat with Fredrik! This guy has had his hands in soooo many cookie-jars, and kicked ass in all of them. Way underrated guy who has carried so many bands it's ridiculous! Hey Fredrik after all those kind words, do I get a cookie now? :D
Discovering Opeth for the first time was one of my life's joys and highlights. I actually started listening when Heritage was released. Although I haven't really enjoyed Sorceress or ICV I still appreciate the talent that Fred possesses. Possibly one of my favourite guitarists. His bends and vibrato are out of this world.
Thank you Ola for having Fredrick with you. He is so goddamn underrated. His name should be mentioned in any conversation involving the greatest metal guitarists currently.
Whoa!!! Such an insanely gifted musician, the guy is dangerous!! Insane phrasing, full of feel and personality!! You can spot right from the start that this is a very talented musician that has also worked and practiced very hard! Such fine quality in his playing!!
@@Doomchild2XL All the funny noises that would have to be added in editing to bleep out the swear words. Probably the only person who swears more than Ozzy. :D
@@Doomchild2XL Did he quit? Good for him, I remember seeing a video of him working out and heavily drinking beer while doing so. That did not look healthy..
@Dylan Powell I downloaded some EOS and Moontower back in the days of Napster. Liked it, but never dug further. Hypocrisy piqued my interest when they toured with Soilwork in 05. Tagtgren had a great song on Nuclear Blast All Stars and the fact that he's working with Lindemann shows he's a really creative, diverse dude. Gotta bump those guys to the top of my listening list.
I'm going to see Fredrik and the rest of the Opeth crew on Tuesday in London! It's so awesome to watch this interview just before the gig! Thanks for making this happen!
Loved the interview! This is a great exemple of a guitar player that can shred the fuck out of a guitar, but uses his talent to do AMAZING melodic and creative stuff. I love Opeth, and he made me love it even more.

OMG Yes plz love Gojira almost as much as I love Opeth lol
Fredrik is such an underrated guitarist. He shows his chops in his solos, doesn't go over the top nuts but shit what a phenomenal guitarist!
1:18 he has his guitar pick ready in his pocket, waiting for a random guitar to be handed over to him 🙂
Loved it.
you're not a real guitarist if you don't have one. :D
That’s pretty common in guitar players
I have one in my phone case at all times. You never know man
jeez, a newbie
Fredrik seems like a genuinely nice guy. He definitely has a different and pure energy to him.
He's really laid back and easy to talk to. I had the honor of chatting with him at a record store signing while the rest of the band rummaged through LPs.
This is the talk show metal heads need! Netflix needs to pick this up and make it a series.🤘
It would get views! Especially with the metal community and introducing people to the metal culture. Do it!
Netflix would ruin it
but then it wouldn't be this free anymore, be it for the topic, or the way it is presented. it'll be driven solely what the audience would want. no more freedom for Ola, I guess?
But it's right here.. on RUclips...
Netflix would cast a black Ola

Definitely!
The organ music in the background is hilarious.

Fredrik Åkesson is one of the best guitarists I've had the pleasure of seeing live.
By far this is the best interview because of the mini lesson
Watershed is my favorite opeth album and this dude ripped some of the most beautiful melodic solos of all time on there.
Absolutely loved this interview. Bringing Fredrik here was something huge.
Loved to know that Ola was once a student of Fredrik. So Ola had to be a freaking good player.
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I like when you get your guests to play some in the segments, big improvement!
So grateful for this interview. Akesson is possibly my favorite metal guitar player of all time. Really humble musician too
Fredrik is the type of player I could watch jamming alone for hours without getting tired of it
Me too!!!
meeting fredrik at carolina rebellion was the highlight of my life,
i love his playing
Coffee with Ihsahn!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
A thousand billion times yes.
We just need the prog father, akerfeldt himself.
And Dan Swano!
Both ♥️
Godfather Åkerfeldt
Prog son?
Prog father is john petrucci budy

How do you measure credit? A guitarist will never be bigger or more famous than the band. Very rarely, anyway.
It is to his credit that Opeth is an amazing band. Obviously singer being the architect, but that by no means takes away from the contributing musicians. I am grateful that a younger friend of mine pointed me in this direction to check them out, I was reluctant to want to listen to new things, and boy was I a proven fool.

Frederick 😄
Fredrik's a beast.
Superbly underrated and such a cool dude
Dude is super understated but a major talent..!!!! Such a good combination
Inspiring. What a great guitar player Fredrik is.
Ola complimenting Fredick on his fluidity and vibrato when he himself, has amazing fluidity and vibrato.
@Sam Gowman 😉
hard to do. i sound very choppy
That is called “ Respect and admiration” among musicians.
Frederik is an amazing cat in both music and being a great human! Love this cat!
I love his guitar playing technique, so fluid.
You definitely have one of the best shows in RUclips and ALL the internet, your guests feels authentics and comfortable talking with you they are just themselves and that's is very inspiring THANKS A LOT OLA!!!
One of my favorite soloist. I love his creative approach and he’s the perfect balance of flash and voice. Just like Mikals vocals.
Didn't expect that, wacthed the video immediately, totally worth it.
Fredrik's chops are off the charts brilliant.
Yes!!! Such an underrated player. Incredible tasty solos and riffs.
A pleasure to listen to gentlemen. Thank you kindly.
I saw him during an Arch Enemy tour. One of the best live solo I heard.
OMG, coffee with Fredrik. Amaaaazing. Thanks, and yes, he's an amazing but underrated guitarist and musician. You kind of have to be an amazing and talented musician to play in Opeth. ;)
Ola, I can't thank you enough for recommending Opeth and Blackwater Park last year and now you drop this, just amazing!
If you haven’t already, you should check out their album Still Life. The second track “Godhead’s Lament“ is a masterpiece.
@@gaukarmadhouse I did listen to everything and my favourite from Still Life is Face of Melinda.
@@gaukarmadhouse That's another masterpiece of an album from them. I feel like it transports you back to the Middle Ages. My personal favorite track is Serenity Painted Death but there's not a single bad one.
The dude doing this interview is a real one for asking Fredrik to show off some riffs. That information is more valuable than gold!
I remember meeting Fredrik for an instore signing with Arch Enemy. I was amazing getting to meet him.
I had a beer with Fredrik at Guitar Summit in Mannheim. He's such a nice, humble person. Respect!!
He's showing him licks at the end. I'm dying! So jealous.
The future is now; two Swedes talking to each other in English
The future is Olapeth
@@bradleyrayson2955 Oh please
Framtiden är nu, böjs
English is a second language in Sweden.
@@temporarymomentary no its not
Im very honored to have caught Fredriks pick in an opeth concert, the best pick in my collection of concert picks
hello from Canada Ola!!! why are Swedes so great at metal???? So many awesome Swedish metal bands for such a small country.....
I wish it was at least an hour long! Frederik just got into the groove! Please, Ola, this is a great series, but make it longer :-) (that's what she said as well)
Excellent video! Fredrik makes that stuff look so easy. Wow.
Fredrik: *says something*
Ola: yeah
I could never do this I am intimidated by big celebrities I would probably have a nervous breakdown. What a legend. Even I am getting old. Watershed solos are not of this planet.
Talisman stuff was really top notch. Such an underrated band.
This was amazing! Thank you Ola, thank you Frederik.
Heyyyyy... I just made coffee! Perfect time for this upload. Get my morning coffee and morning practice session in. Then listen to master of the universe while I shower for the day. Excellent timing.
This is my favorite RUclips channel especially because of interviews like this.
Not only incredible player but also great teacher ! I watch this interview third time...
AWESOME
I love Opeth and Fredrik is such a good guitarist
This guy is a guitar savant for real. I have the utmost respect for him and all of the members of Opeth.
What a great guy! So respectful of Ola's time and him having kids. Pure class gentlemen metalhead.
One of the most authentic and interesting episode of the show! NWIIIICE!
What an absolutely excellent interview. I can't get enough of this!
Awesome coffee chat with Fredrik! This guy has had his hands in soooo many cookie-jars, and kicked ass in all of them. Way underrated guy who has carried so many bands it's ridiculous! Hey Fredrik after all those kind words, do I get a cookie now? :D

Such a great guitar player! Very underrated
Thank you Ola! It's funny you released the video today, in exactly one week I'll see Opeth live in Dublin, Ireland! Can't wait!
I love this video so much! Watched it many times…. And the reason I tracked down a Fredrik PRS SE. WHEN IS THE COFFEE WITH Mikael???
Jag är 56 år! 2021 är första gången som jag hör opeth ,Snacka om okommersiellt band.Att lyssna på opeths låtar är en rikrig resa🤘 En grym grupp .
Whoa!!! Such an insanely gifted musician, the guy is dangerous!! Insane phrasing, full of feel and personality!! You can spot right from the start that this is a very talented musician that has also worked and practiced very hard! Such fine quality in his playing!!
What a humble guy. Phenomenal musician too. Great stuff Ola.
You know when a guitarist is in love with guitars... *reaches into his pocket for a pick* Always prepared!🤘🏻😎💯
I love the gear talk in this video
"Couple of beers with Ola" - Zack Wylde
Zakk's all about that coffee though. He quit drinking a long time ago.
@@Doomchild2XL Don't take this too seriously, i just want Ola invite him on his show. Peace 😊
@@Stefanoski88 That would be fun for sure. 👍
@@Doomchild2XL All the funny noises that would have to be added in editing to bleep out the swear words. Probably the only person who swears more than Ozzy. :D
@@Doomchild2XL Did he quit? Good for him, I remember seeing a video of him working out and heavily drinking beer while doing so. That did not look healthy..
Awesome. So much respect for Fredrik. Really cool that you could have him on.
Nice to finally here Fredrik speak.
He's an amazing player.
Could listen to him soloing for days.
Frederik and Opeth, Awsome!!
Two words - “Lovelorn Crime” 👏👏👏
So modest and underrated
That new album is so freaking bad ass!
That awkward clap at the beginning though lol
Appreciate Frederick’s playing and influence on Opeth’s jazzier output as of late.
Awesome player and super nice guy. I met him after a gig once and he was so chill and friendly
Hey what about coffee with Peter Tägtgren or Dan Swanö?
Seconded !
Definitely need coffee with Peter Tägtgren
I know very little about these 2 dudes, but the little I've heard from them has really impressed me
@Dylan Powell I downloaded some EOS and Moontower back in the days of Napster. Liked it, but never dug further. Hypocrisy piqued my interest when they toured with Soilwork in 05.

@Dylan Powell Thanks a bunch for those recommendations, bud! will do.
Such a good talk
Fredrik is a brilliant guitar player ! 🤘
THX Ola
coffee with mikael akerfeldt
Dude i wish
@@severusblack9462 Hey
It finally happened, mate!
I'm going to see Fredrik and the rest of the Opeth crew on Tuesday in London! It's so awesome to watch this interview just before the gig! Thanks for making this happen!
So it took a vintage Strat to win Fredrik over for having a coffee... 😂
Now Ola has to open a vinyl records shop in his apartment to get Mikael to stop by.
Got a free guitar lesson out of it too! :D
2:14 Fredrik slips the pick Ola had given him into his pocket.
A very guitarist thing to do 😂
It was his own pick, you can see him digging it out from his pocket at @1:17
Great episode. Ola knocks it out of the park! There should be a late night show like this for musicians. Thanks OLA You Kick ASS. \M/
I wish Fredrik had his own channel teaching badass licks. He has so many good ones.
He needs to teach me his vibrato haha. Also those solos on the "making of sorceress" video where suuuuper tasty
Unbelievable guitarist, and like you said, wildly underrated!!!
Loved the interview! This is a great exemple of a guitar player that can shred the fuck out of a guitar, but uses his talent to do AMAZING melodic and creative stuff. I love Opeth, and he made me love it even more.
I was so happy to see Fredrik in that video. Cheers Ola!
YEAH!!!! Fredrik!!! Tnx in advance, gonna watch it now :D
Just saw Opeth in Perth, Aus last night. It's crazy to see in person just how amazing he is
Get bigger memory cards, I could have happily sat through plenty more! Great episode, Fredrik is ridiculously good!
Fredrick is super cool and inspiring! Love Coffee with Ola, you always pick great guests! 🤘🤘🤘
2 totally cool dudes just chatting and jamming !! Love it
Awesome, one of the best metal guitarist out there! Nice to hear more from him, he almost doesent talk in Opeth videos XD. Thanks Ola!
This guy is a living legend tbh. Amazing skills, amazing taste.
Love his stuff with Talisman.
Great Coffee with Ola, Fredrik was shredding your new Fender, Awesome!
This one just completely surprised me. So glad this happened. Great choice Ola.
