I think what I meant with my confused mumbo jumbo about "youtubing" is that if I considered myself a RUclipsr (I don't) then I'd have to post... even if I had nothing to say. That scares the shit out of me. It really does. I might put together a thousand of these Freak Audio Lab videos, because it IS fun, and then never post again if I have nothing new to share. It's only about content to me. Thank you for your kind words, sir.
You are such wonderful musician! I love your channel. Love your Music. Believe it or not your records have reached the american topics! I send you a huge "Skål" from a little country called COSTA RICA. Please never stop making music! Rock on !
IA, I enjoy your content and humor! My son and daughter say the same about me having a RUclips channel(albeit tiny and less interesting). They think I'm cool, something every dad can be happy about. Your kid's are your biggest fans and that says more to a dad than anything else. It's about sharing things that you have learned in order to help others. Being a RUclips celebrity should come second.
OMG!!! Your videos are among the most amusing things I see on RUclips for a very long time. And in days like today, when I am struggling even to force myself to get up and at least eat something, this video was the only thing that got me out of the zombie-potato mode and made me grab the guitar and jam something on this. Tack så mycket!
You should seriously have 20X times the subscribers you have. Such great content, such a great personality, and musical genius. Love the videos Mattias, thank you.
Man, that little ditty for your example song sounds so awesome. Have you considered setting up a Bandcamp page at all? I'd love to pay you for "albums" of stuff like this! Both to listen to and to jam with. Anyway, thanks for posting more and more, IA. Been listening to you since the early 2000s. So cool to see you flourish here with the video format. =)
Farbror gör mig glad varje gång han lägger upp grejer 😊. Stormar en hel del i Marks kommun också, och jag har inte kunnat undervisa utomhus på hela terminen (undervisar i Härryda, Landvetter är närmaste tätort om dessa kommunnamn stressar) pga vattensjuka gräsmattor/skogar. Fortsätt det fina arbetet 👌.
Heysan Svejsan :) I do share your sentiments regarding "yt/web2.0 culture". I can't recount the number of times I've been baited into clicking one of these "10 things you should know before dating an actual caterpillar"-videos only to learn that someone rehashed a very generic (granted yes, sometimes still worthwhile) bit of information with some fancy graphics drenched in OMGs. I really appreciate that you are sharing your idea's and work, it's a breath of fresh air. You don't have to keep on reading this as the rest of this message is even more long spun than the rest of it, as I think that the algorithm also recommends content based on ENGAGEMENT, with one of it's metrics being the amount of words people use in their responses. So, hereby, Algorithm, I declare this content to be ENGAGING to me as an actual human person, as in part indicated by the above average number of words I typed up to communicate.
Give up the pick!, I did 20 years ago and have never worried about losing a pick since. The first few months were a bit of a challenge but now using a pick feels alien. I think it gives you a lot more tonal options.
Best Freak Audio Lab into ever.. 😂.. Kids today... Lol... Finger picking and nose picking have very obtuse possibilities I have found. Keep bringing this beautiful cognitive, musical tapestry to the world.. And go warm up your balls now 😂😂
OMG (pun intended) ! What an awesome video haha How did I miss this ? Maybe if you were an youtuber, RUclips would've recommended this video to me 🤷♂️
I love your content and it's really down to earth even in the most complex moments. Share whatever and whenever you feel to do so. We'll be there watching and listening. I must ask this question, since I got to know you really are a drummer I have wondered if you play the drums in your videos? I know it's SD sounds, but maybe you have it just triggered. Thank's!
I can totally agree with the experience of youtube frontpage. Today I got something like "WTF is an expander?!" and I quickly looked away. I gotta admit one of my favourite shows, That Pedal Show has also been making videos like "10 ways to use reverb" but I forgive them for trying to work out different useful ways and show different technology at the same time. But the "N number of things" videos are kinda pushy as titles and feel cheap. How do you decide a video to watch when everything is just a list of things and your preview of the content from the title is very vague. Really fun backing track this time. It felt like you could play almost anything on it and it would still work. Cheers, Gandalf of guitar.
I think and everyone here agreeds with me that this world needs much more RUclipsrs like you. Ps. Do you have some re version album of the Quake II ost ?
Hey Mattias your content is pure gold and I subscribed right away! I was wondering if your ''tha ka dhi mi'' language had a name? Honestly I never thought about using ''language'' as for writing polyrhythms and this just opened a flood of ideas for new songs! Keep your videos coming we are in awe!!
Yepp, I have a little lovely forest and a river that runs through it where one can stroll around and think (although it wasn't so pretty this day with flooding and a couple of trees that came down from the bad weather). We used to swim in the river but it is so full of hostile crayfish (they are extremely pissed off) that immediately go for your sex organ once you get in it's only the dogs that get wet nowadays. A luxury problem, I think.

0:00 - 2:14 ; as a fellow 1969 baby, we are in agreement... I think our age is just not with the RUclips "OMG that's AWESOME" brigade... it's a shame that "awesome" has become the epithet for the lamest shite which is about as awe inspiring as lettuce....
Mattias, when you deploy your middle digit for tapping, I see you pull rather than flick. Do you recommend that method even for those who've not yet dived through a window? Btw, your wiggly frets always sound annoyingly good and in tune. OMG, bank balance.
@@mattias_ia_eklundh Fair enough. It's funny how talent and having no clue what you're doing physically often go hand-in-hand. The opposites do as well - there's a lot of those on RUclips. FWIW, pulling seems more natural to me (a grasping motion) but most people do flick. Jennifer Batten pulls but maybe that's a multiple finger thing. Re: "window-finger-mod", OK. I'll cancel that. Cheers!
Love the tone of the Apple horn guitars, its a reference I've used to measure my instruments for years now. I even referenced them in a review I wrote about a headphone a while back. www.head-fi.org/showcase/sennheiser-hd-250-linear-ii.12984/reviews
Good luck my fellow father with a son who watches weird shit. I gave up that battle because, it made me a hypocrite. I watch so much music RUclips, because I love it. He watches gaming shit, because he loves it. Wasnt worth battling. lol. Just tell your son to put on headphones.
@@mattias_ia_eklundh You're too kind to be real Mattias. For what is worth you have all my respect and admiration! You're an endless source of inspiration! I watch your videos with my kids hoping they will be inspired too!
The intro where Mattias argue he's not a youtuber is one of the most youtuber thing I've ever seen LOL
I know! Silly isn't it? The ambivalence is real. :) OMG!

O gracious Mattias where can I find the backing track to your song "father". I love the improv you did with Stu Hamm.
!! Fingers ARE picks !!
Also..why is there a whole bunch of anglo saxons here in Canada that claim to be vikings?? LOL! 😆

OMG, my daughters are just like that. OMG I said it. OMG I said it again! OMG , I cant stop saying it.,,,nee....

Ps. Do you have some re version album of the Quake II ost ?
The best video on RUclips is of Mattias Eklundh making fun of how shit RUclips is. "OHMYGOD" etc.

Oh, it's called Konnakol, an Amazing Indian rhythm language several thousand years old. It's simply astounding!
it's called konnakol, it comes from southern india, if you search his channel he goes into more depth in other videos explaining how he uses it
Is that on your property? It's beautiful
