I think it's incredibly awesome to know that damn near everywhere you turn, it seems as if everyone is playing Solar guitars. I know Ola's the humble type, but that's got to be the biggest flex as a business owner. Words cannot express how happy I am to see Solar doing well.
Metal. Solar gives that modern, classy yet brutal metal look. You dont have to empty your pockets for a jackson that might of questionable quality anymore.
A month ago my wife and I lost our dog due to illness. Having these doses of Pix have actually really helped us and get us feeling closer to being able to adopt again.
Imagine the surreal pride and sense of accomplishment that must come from seeing basically all of your hero's proudly playing your own company's guitars! Well deserved!
Hi Ola! I think The Haunted and Blind Guardian shared the stage at Wacken 2016. I played right after you guys on the other mainstage when I was Legion of the Damned’s live guitarist, and I really digged The Haunted’s show while building up my gear!
Yeah I noticed that this video was blurry I can still hear you and I can still kindof see you so that's all that matters to me love your videos keep up the great work😊
15:10 ‘Obviously I have to practice this’ joking aside (you've already nailed it!) that's what _practice_ means: make it your practice, make it your warmup, incorporate the technique into your daily playing, and so on. Practice _doesn't_ just mean ‘learn and get better._
I have and wear the New California Republic hat and Pin with the two headed California bear for about over a year actually bought it for trip to south dakota lol took me almost a year to put the pin in carefully. Very high quality pin, has fallout on the back side too.
7:20 Judging by the Rolling Stone interview Dream Theater did, it sounded like the album is coming out before the EU tour. It also makes sense, because the anniversary tour will continue to other areas after Europe, so they seem to be locked in for a fairly long time.
He was one of the first "cookie monster" vocalists, but I wouldn't call him underrated. His was a talent in a niche market. An IYKYK kind of guy. The guys who love him, love him. Anyone else has has, most likely, never even heard of him. For us, he was awesome!
Seen Chuck live at the Beachum Theater on Orange ave in Orlando, Florida when I was in my teenage years, Dude was a MONSTER!!! I was at his feet so close I could untie his shoelaces if I wanted to, Was a life altering experience to witness the Power of Music at that Volume at such a young impressionable age. Pretty much ruined my brain from thinking normal, Had to be a Rock Star from there on out, lol. Been playing guitar almost 40 years now, Fur’tl*i’zer and Withered are bands I’ve played in, Never broke the crest of Fame but have a Body of Work to leave behind, till then I still play daily, it’s what keeps me half a cup Sane anyways!! R.I.P. Chuck Shuldiner, You changed my life while you were here!
The reverse headstock on solar guitars give you a different sound then regular head stocks. My s by solar has more bass than other standard headstocked guitars
Hey Ola! Cheers from Russia! As a person who is at the stage of learning English, I would be pleased to watch your videos with English subtitles. So if it's not difficult, subtitle more videos besides SWOLA. I will be very grateful!
OLA! In regards to the pickups (at the end), I know the regular Duncan Solar set is basically a re-branded Custom 5 and '59, but what about the Duncan "Solar +" set? I know they have Alnico 8 magnets... Is it just an Alternative 8 and a 59 or Jazz (with an A8 magnet)? ..and Why don't you make rail pickups?
Damn, Ola! Had no idea you were in Sorcerer back then. Maybe we played „Up the Hammers“-Festival in Athens together in like 2011? Skol! Jonas (Sacred Steel)
I have a number of guitars, some expensive such as Gibson etc. I bought a guitar from the Solar outlet and I can't find the issues they described at point of sale. Also, it is the only guitar in my arsenal that I know will still be in tune when I pick it up.
Obviously mate. Solar guitar it's something what I seriously consider for being a gift for my 44th(1st August-any secret millionaire out there?). If I may reflect-from personal perspective of 27yrs 'in the scene' I consider expensive guitars being simply unpractical-crazy crowds,travel conditions,blokes asking to "touch" it -you name it. Instead of wasting time getting the money for such pricelly abstractions it's better to focus on shredding and mastering it (on Solar guitar for example).from this what I see on "black" scene and knowing dozens wolfes of behemoth I can tell thar Satan Endorses Solar.
huh, so that's where nux got the idea to put a boost and tuner in a wireless receiver. Still not a fan lol. Holy batteries Ola! I highly recommend you go to rechargeable, either Eneloop batteries and a few ISDT n8 chargers, or a bunch of Pale Blue lithium usbc rechargeables would keep up with your needs really well .
Love the design of you 8 string Vs, but could you PLEASE offer models with longer scales? 28 inch, like Schecter for instance. Way better for string tension.
dude blind guardian is one of those bands you have to see or at least hear live to understand. I bought the 2003 live on a whim way back in like 05, knew nothing about them, and wow. I was skeptical at 1st, but once i heard my non metalhead friends singing along, to lyrics i didnt even know, yet lol, i was like ok, this is something special lol. I hope they played the bards song. Its an incredible experience. I live in chicago and the 1 time i saw them i couldnt believe that like 2k ppl from my area knew all the lyrics to that and all their other songs lol couldnt imagine a big show
I've had a pick for 30 years that probably has Chuck's DNA on it. I would never sell it, it is more valuable to me than any piece of the holy cross or the Grail. RIP Chuck.
Chuck would probably stick in your... Do you know "spirit crusher"? or your pick is all what you've got to do with Death? Metal is lyrics as well. All of this is not about collecting memorabilia. I wonder why so many people are hooked with a scene on which they wouldn't be able to survive a season.
Yeah.. Lefties like V's, too. Even 7 strings. It's really not as niche as you think. An X-type 7 string would be better, but shit.. Even Washburn had Lefty Solar V's. They all sold out pretty fast.
God dammit Ola dont be so modest. Its ok to just say ”Yes, the solar guitars actually do sound that good.” Got my S1.6 2-3 weeks ago and it beats both my ibanez’s, my ESP Eclipse and my schecter apocalypse (the schecter is still my favorite but the tone is better on the solar).
Most other manufacturers' bundled pickups are trash, on the basis that people will swap it out. I've always budgeted another $100 to replace the pickup on every guitar I've owned. Solar delivers a useable, highly competent pickup from the get-go.
Thanks for the shoutout and great footage Ola! Great to see you last Saturday! 🔥🧙♂️🔥
I think it's incredibly awesome to know that damn near everywhere you turn, it seems as if everyone is playing Solar guitars. I know Ola's the humble type, but that's got to be the biggest flex as a business owner. Words cannot express how happy I am to see Solar doing well.
Great comment. I like Ola's vibe. Cool down to earth player. He deserves all this success.
Metal. Solar gives that modern, classy yet brutal metal look. You dont have to empty your pockets for a jackson that might of questionable quality anymore.
On a whim I bought an a16 used at a guitar center. It’s the best refined and playing guitar I own.
A month ago my wife and I lost our dog due to illness. Having these doses of Pix have actually really helped us and get us feeling closer to being able to adopt again.
sorry for your loss
Sending luv and POSITIVE energy from the Oregon Coast!
Peace and love
If you steal equipement from a band, the internet will hunt you down. Glad it got misplaced and not stolen from Jerry.
metallica entered the chat
@@bon2yan88well in their defense it was 1970-1980 internet back then was nonexistent xd
Imagine the surreal pride and sense of accomplishment that must come from seeing basically all of your hero's proudly playing your own company's guitars! Well deserved!
That 8 string V is sick... damn...
8 strings guitar got. nothing to do with metal.when I look at all of this "modern" guitarist I've got an impression that they should....
Sorcerer + Blind
Blind Guardian
I live for the opening tunes! The amount of new chugs and tunes you continually come out with is inspiring.
I've watched this at least 3 times. This is my favorite SWOLA to date. Hilarious and informative
Always a treat when you break out the 7. Awesome as always! \m/
Hi Ola! I think The Haunted and Blind Guardian shared the stage at Wacken 2016. I played right after you guys on the other mainstage when I was Legion of the Damned’s live guitarist, and I really digged The Haunted’s show while building up my gear!
Oh man, that intro was FUN to watch!!
Thats an entire song and good one at that Ola. Nice riffage
JP & MP Ola Interview is FIRE! 11/10 would watch
Yeah I noticed that this video was blurry I can still hear you and I can still kindof see you so that's all that matters to me love your videos keep up the great work😊
The intro was really badass

Love the Shure GLX-D16. Got one after my Line 6 wireless crapped the bed. The Shure system is super reliable and I dig the tuner functionality.
I have and wear the New California Republic hat and Pin with the two headed California bear for about over a year actually bought it for trip to south dakota lol took me almost a year to put the pin in carefully. Very high quality pin, has fallout on the back side too.
Aha! I got that Devin Townsend Kingdom EMG live performance reference at the beginning! Well played haha
Haha i havent noticed ultil i read your comment! Youre right!
7:20 Judging by the Rolling Stone interview Dream Theater did, it sounded like the album is coming out before the EU tour. It also makes sense, because the anniversary tour will continue to other areas after Europe, so they seem to be locked in for a fairly long time.
Portnoy and Petrucc in one room, idk if Ola could handle that lmao
_(fangirling incoming)_
Swola is always the best part of my Sunday.
Thanks Ola
Chuck, one of the most underrated vocalists ever, maybe his guitar work took some attention away from that.
You gotta be kidding me
He was one of the first "cookie monster" vocalists, but I wouldn't call him underrated. His was a talent in a niche market. An IYKYK kind of guy. The guys who love him, love him. Anyone else has has, most likely, never even heard of him. For us, he was awesome!

Underrated? Every metalhead I’ve ever met loves him haha
He was a guitar player, the vox are whatever
SORCERER is such a great band! Amazing guys! 🔥
Essex Studio has some INSANE guitars. Amazing Jacksons and Esps.
I adjust my sound with a Solar as well. Then plug and play any guitar when the sound/tone is ready every week. 🎸🔊
Never thought I'd see the green stealth ever surface
Shoot. The Chuck guitar is in Orlando. I live in Orlando. Wish I could see it in person.
Those intros are just getting better and better.
bring Mikael from Opeth for a coffee! and well, he's from Sweden... man that'd be awesome
Ola making me want to buy a Solar guitar.
Big fan, please keep producing this great content.
What an awesome vid dude! and I see you are doing so great on drums now!
JEeEEEEZUSS, that opening riff was SSSICCCKK man! FUCK!
This intro was amazing ola keep on jammin brother
Good Swola!
Always a pleasure tuning in every week. Will you ever come to Australia? 😊
Dude that intro was killer!!!!!
That leasson sounds similar with the intro on Bernth’s channel
Ola! imo, the best intro song 🤘
God that intro was heavy as fuck.
That was a banger 💥
Thanks for the video as always. be safe and skilful. Pinge
Ohhh that 8 string is nice. Still prefer the one with the red spatter though
Ola- Quick quiz - Favourite Doom Metal bands!
GO!
Arch enemy meets conquering distoptya.... Nice...
Ett mer korrekt namn på Johns inslag skulle vara "John Shows Off" :)
wow at that intro riff :o 🤘🤘🤘
That riff! Damn, straight fire :)
The reverse headstock on solar guitars give you a different sound then regular head stocks. My s by solar has more bass than other standard headstocked guitars
Enjoyed
That new V is nice, but the 8-in-line headstock is kinda silly
The DT 990s are great, I've had mine a couple years now, sound and look great still
HOLLY SHIT MAN !!! That guitar intro ... SICK ! 👍👍
THAT ENDING - at the intro - which you referenced - felt like you were invoking Uli. In a good way, of course.
Awsome jam!
Hey Ola! Cheers from Russia! As a person who is at the stage of learning English, I would be pleased to watch your videos with English subtitles. So if it's not difficult, subtitle more videos besides SWOLA. I will be very grateful!
Amazing 8 string V 😀
Cool intro.
Finally an 8 string!
Blind Guardian rules! Their latest album is so good.
💯
Have a great week bro
thank you for paing attention to cyrillic comments, Ola!
That metallic red Solar is the hotness
OLA! In regards to the pickups (at the end), I know the regular Duncan Solar set is basically a re-branded Custom 5 and '59, but what about the Duncan "Solar +" set? I know they have Alnico 8 magnets... Is it just an Alternative 8 and a 59 or Jazz (with an A8 magnet)?

I was losing my mind over Jerry's guitar going missing hahaha I was dying
Damn, Ola! Had no idea you were in Sorcerer back then. Maybe we played „Up the Hammers“-Festival in Athens together in like 2011?
Skol! Jonas (Sacred Steel)
Ola fixed the RUclips audio? Seems like it’s back to normal. 👍

I bought exact same custom green bc rich from ebay 8 years ago. For 1300 dollars.
8 strings of hell! Svarthelvete! 🤘🤘🤘
good skills
huh, so that's where nux got the idea to put a boost and tuner in a wireless receiver. Still not a fan lol. Holy batteries Ola!

Can you plug in the in-ear monitors to the shire receiver in the strap?
Wow! Chuck's axe is at 21.2k on eBay at the moment.
Hell yeah, I want a black V so bad, one day soon!
Love the design of you 8 string Vs, but could you PLEASE offer models with longer scales? 28 inch, like Schecter for instance. Way better for string tension.
That new charcoal (burnt) solar is beautiful ola …. I know it’s not what your demoing now but thought I’d say that lol

No. Saw them multiple times and still boring 😢🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
@@13thNemesis welp that sucks for you 🤷♂️ but im guessing power metal isnt your thing?
Hell no. 😂 Not at all
@@13thNemesis then no fucking wonder lol
You should check out Crinacle's in ear monitor and earphone rankings.
I think you're getting better Ola
I've had a pick for 30 years that probably has Chuck's DNA on it. I would never sell it, it is more valuable to me than any piece of the holy cross or the Grail. RIP Chuck.
Chuck would probably stick in your...
Do you know "spirit crusher"? or your pick is all what you've got to do with Death?
Metal is lyrics as well.
All of this is not about collecting memorabilia.
I wonder why so many people are hooked with a scene on which they wouldn't be able to survive a season.
Ola what do you think the best way to start improvising is? I want to find a way of learning to improvise that is actually fun.
8 string?! go Ola!
Yeah.. Lefties like V's, too. Even 7 strings. It's really not as niche as you think. An X-type 7 string would be better, but shit.. Even Washburn had Lefty Solar V's. They all sold out pretty fast.
Loving the 8-string, what pedal are you using for the squeal effect (red one)?
We wouldn't be mad if you didn't film Pix, but it would leave a void in our lives!
💔
Andy James new BC Rich is very nice
Ben Eller for Ola Learns guest!
God dammit Ola dont be so modest. Its ok to just say ”Yes, the solar guitars actually do sound that good.” Got my S1.6 2-3 weeks ago and it beats both my ibanez’s, my ESP Eclipse and my schecter apocalypse (the schecter is still my favorite but the tone is better on the solar).

Wow, that hat doubled in price on ebay already. about $80 for still packaged pins lol
🔥🔥🔥🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Awsome video!
Ola hope you're doing great, I noticed you've been completely disappointed of the edelkrone, recently I haven't seen it in swolas😂.
Save some headache and buy rechargeable AA's. So worth it IMO.
Try spinal decompression from a chiropractic for your sciatica. RUclips is full of such videos.
I had that Shure pedal wireless and it literally lasted a year & a half…..then went completely dead. Senhieser was a better investment 🤘🏼
