Such called Western music itself, contains only 12 notes. I have learned it, not that long ago, after playing guitar, for almost 50 years. Shame on me🤭
@@EmanueleFerro the listening audience is still playing catch up to winds of creation. I think people are finally understanding it two some odd decades after it's release
@@VitaTristis Was just about to say. His right hand is insane with the string skipping and weird shit he does.. but still, both are just outrageous. I prefer Vogg overall.
Not to be a smartass but.. yes actually to be a smartass, my recent 2 'shorts' are playing this intro at 110 and 120 percent. I did try to get good shot of my picking hand
@@loydthabartender5794 any chance tinkering with ur action and mic height might help? i tuned EVERYTHING to match my hand and the resulting situation? well, everything above thinking about the string is enough to play it
Decapitated was one of the biggest prodigies to ever bless death metal. My personal favorite riff easily has to be sensual sickness off of the negation album. Long live vitek.
Winds, Nihility and the negation are the most amazing trifecta of tech death perfection. I've listened to Nihility which seems like a thousand times. It never gets old and I always seem to find something new in the album.
What a monster of a song and main riff. I need a week of warming up to even have an approach of what is needed to play it. Kudos to Vogg for being able to compose it and play it every single gig. And also kudos to you, Ola, for being able to learn this awesome piece of music.
This is what I’ve been doing to learn how to play guitar, just by listening and trying over and over. Been playing guitar for 12 years now selftaught by ear. Never give up guys! 🤘🔥
Saw them open for Lamb of God in 2013. One of those times when the Opening Band Surprises you and Blows Your Socks Off. They were so Tight and in the Pocket. Mad Respect.
For any of You interested in avantgarde black metal, Vogg also played with a band called Lux Occulta, starting from My Guardian Anger album. Worth checking out. As for Vogg's picking technique it is exclusively wrist based, therefore reproducing his rhythm pattrens with the whole arm picking technique is ... challenging ;)
This shows what it looks like when we learn something that is actually out of our comfort zone. In this case Ola has trouble with his wrist picking technique. We can see this by observing him practicing it in a slower pace: He completely relies on his wrist, which is good. As soon as he goes up the tempo he switches to an almost entirely lower-arm-based movement. The problem with this isn't just the potential for injury but also the fact that sudden start/stop-motions are hard to execute on a consistent basis, even if the picking pattern is well memorized.
Deffinitelly, the way to go in this case is to learn how to play with the wrist in highest tempo with using as small amount of effort as possible. This is actually the song I practiced it a lot.
I always wonder how Ola does his picking technique, I try it from time to time but it cramps my thumb up. Using the full-arm is a bitch for long stamina. I moved away from that quite some time ago, now I'm just trying to be more relaxed with the right hand.
Good points made. This applies to every instrument. For example, playing 16th notes at higher BPMs on the hi hats using the arm is considered bad technique, which will eventually tire you out and possibly lead to damage in the elbow and nerves. As one progresses on the drums and is more and more comfortable with a particular song, a flicking technique, isolating the wrist and fingers, is a much more ergonomic and natural technique. Ola is playing drums now, so maybe there’s some carryover from one to the other.
For anyone else struggling with stamina when it comes to riffs like this one (the opener), I find it hurts my wrist and forearms less when I’m standing, allowing a hanging, more natural position for my arm. I find when I’m sitting and have my arm perpendicular to my body, my arm tenses up more than necessary.
love your videos! i truly love the fact that you dont over sanitize your videos, you show yourself struggle. most youtubes only show the finished porduct. THANK YOU!

Since their first album, Decapitated have always been astonishingly technical. Good job. That Solar would look good here, by the way.
I seriously find entertainment in watching this man learn these songs by ear. I love it!!!! You rock man. I did many songs this way when I was younger because tabs looked scary to read. Ended up figuring it out a year later. But lamb of God 11th hour and laid to rest was by ear. Later found the tabs and was slightly off and learned an easier mode for me to play without slipping and flying all the way across the neck trying to keep it in time lol. Also a bunch of simple stuff like System of a down, six feet under no warning shot. I felt proud of that, thanks for sharing this man
This is a really excellent video. You're not only an established professional in the field, but you're also acknowledging that you, yourself, are a human (like the rest of us!) This makes for a really compelling video. Subscribed!
This is how you get carpal tunnel. Lol. as a lazy guitarist who refuses to learn insane full upper body “work out” riffs, I respect the devotion of learning a crazy picking pattern just for a video. I noticed you approached it differently the second day. very resourceful 🔥
I’d actually love to see ola play winds of creation by decapitated, and yes I know that song is very difficult but I actually think it would be quite fun to see him learn it
This I already consider one of the best videos you've ever recorded! Vogg is my guitar hero of modern death metal, brutality and groove. I had the pleasure and honor of taking classes with him via skype. I would like him to be interviewed on Coffee With Ola. This record means a lot to me, Homo Sum is a quarry, but A View From A Hole I can't play it straight to this day.
Ola i love this video series! It helps me so much as a guitarist. For once how to approach stuff like this, but also motivational, because it shows that no one is perfect and when something is difficult then there are ways to still do it! :)
These guys are just insane. Vogg’s playing all around is just so brutal and deadly accurate for how fast and odd the timing is. Their first album, for a bunch of teenagers, is just amazing. Great band and Vogg seems like such a nice and encouraging fellow, watched some of his lessons before and he seems super chill. Good stuff, Ola! Rest that wrist/forearm!
I saw these guys once with Lamb of God. I just wish I appreciated and loved them then as much as I do now. The only songs they played that I even recognized were Carnival Is Forever and Spheres of Madness. Gotta catch them again sometime
Man, it's something like, it's 10 years i know and play this song, and I'm still work out that crazy riff, my hand is crying everytime i play this amazing song
It's nice that you hear sounds so quickly. You will quickly master a given topic, song ... !!! I like watching you. Always with humor. Sometimes I pick up something from you. But science is slow to go anyway. I try, but the nerves take over 😄
Finally you had a challenge man!!! Vogg is a fucking slayer of utmost proportions and that song is just brutal af. I'd love to hear you tackle Zyklon's song "Core Solution". Another riff master Samoth!!! These guys were doing the harmonic swipe WAY before Gojira made it a feature of their songs. Great video man!!!🤘😜🤘
I’ve always known of Decapitated but never listened to them. Definitely will be diving into this band! Ola is a beast to have gotten that close in just a few days. That riff would take my janky ass a lifetime to get down.
The day I can play even a single Decapitated riff properly is the day I'll have achieved enlightenment. I just want to play Spheres of Madness. That was the first song I heard by them and in retrospect, the first technical death metal song I heard. Also, I'm the complete opposite with picks. Thin ones make me clinch it really hard.
Spheres of Madness is the first song I heard from them as well. A swift kick to the nut bag it is...in the best possible way...if that makes any sense. Lol 🤘
I always find it very cool to see how other guitarists approach learning songs and that everyone struggles the same :D I've learned a few Fear Factory songs and always struggle to get those fast picking patterns right.
Ola is brave for showing us himself learning this song dude I used to know it but I haven’t played it in a while so it was like learning all over again I was right with ya ola lol seeing you struggle a bit makes me feel better I’ve been playing long time since I’ve been 8 I’m gonna be 42 this august I’m old lol ! Cheers Ola Englund your the man
Old decapitated is even more technical and crazy. Winds of creation and Nihility are both suburb albums that I’n my opinion are better then later decapitated. I mean winds was recorded when vogg was either 16 or 17…SMH amazing. Killer job Ola!
@@GregDineen Couldn’t agree more! Mother War is such a banger! BTW I’ve been studying with Martin (1st band bassist) at the same department for 2 years in Kraków :)
I'm new here, hi... I've never heard of this band. The guitarist is a beast, upon sampling his compositions I feel compelled to testify... that .."antigroove type, attackdriven labotomy" that I think is one way to describe the experience, total guitar domination.... I'm enjoying your channel brother...
I love Decapitated's album, 'Winds Of Creation". As I was watching, I did a pick throw and I'm sure I will never see that pick again. R.I.P. Witold "Vitek" Kieltyka. Such an amazing drummer!! He left us way too young.
Maybe you could try learning some Morbid Angel classics? I'm thinking Chapel of Ghouls, Maze of Torment, maybe later material like God of Emptiness, Where the Slime Live, etc.
With Vogg, one of the things I've noticed is that he tends to play with the guitar slung really low, and when your guitar is that low, it makes it impossible to pick from your arm. So even in the music video, you can clearly see it's all fairly effortless and from the wrist. Whereas when you sit down in non-classical position, suddenly your arm starts doing a bunch of the work. Took me years to be able to get past that, and practicing stood up with my guitar slung low was kind of a eureka moment for me!
Oh, we cannot beat this "stamina picking thing" Ola. So we need to switch picking type and genre too. I don't know that are you familiar with it but a Wintersun song would be interesting eg. Starchild, Battle Against Time or Winter Madness. Yeah, definitely would be interesting.
Ola learning a Decapitated song: Fuck me! Vogg learning a The Haunted song: Is that all you got?!? I hope you and Vogg can do a Coffee with Ola some day!
Vogg is by far my favorite death metal guitarist. His riffs are so quick, and precise, yet groovy. He paved the way for technical death metal bands like Soreption, which I highly recommend checking out for Decapitated fans. Great job on the cover!
Vogg is defenitely the best metal guitarist to walk this earth. His technique is so flawless and impeccable. Change my mind. You won’t Polish death metal = the best death metal 🇵🇱
I'm sorry, but I find even the tiniest notion of that there can be only one "best guitarist" in any given genre, especially when if you just consider pure technical skill, is so weirdly naive, almost childish. Like, have you ever heard of Wes Hauch, who has one of the most clean and inhumanly precise playing of all metal guitarists ever (and his guitar tone is *the* best tone of all modern metal guitarists, change my fucking mind)? Of Joe Haley from Psycroptic? Of Jeff fucking Loomis (imo his best work both technically and compositionally is on the Conquering Dystopia's self-titled LP)? Of Dave Davidson from Revocation?
@@icipher6730 sorry bro but Vogg is technically and compositionally the best. I mean the guitarists you mentioned are great ofc but as for me, they haven’t written such bangers as vogg has ( better not to meantion new Arch Enemy) Carnival is forever along with the first four decapitated albums are admittedly masterpieces and modern classics. All the riffs on the albums are out of this world and technical at the same time. No one is able to recreate decap’s riffs the way he plays them. That’s why you will never see second guitar in the crew :)
@@travisbickle3604 You people are weird for arguing over who's the best. Some people like Decapitated because the riffs are vicious and tight, some people like Arch Enemy because they write beautiful melodies and put on amazing performances, and some people like Jeff Loomis because of...well, all of the above. And some people like Bob Dylan because of his remarkable lyricism. Just listen to what you want to listen to and don't bother about what other people think :D
I am a bit surprised that vogg didn't recommend something from anticult, that album has more groove oriented and less techy riffs, Kill this Cult for example could have worked really well for this video series
I think hate me by children of bodom would be a fun one to learn. It's not the hardest song, but it's also not easy. The guitar solos do be hard tho imo, but ofc you can skip em.
As a black metal player for 15 years. The speed is all in the wrist and all about being relaxed. The second you start flexing anything you’ll get sloppy. Great video Ola and sick song.

I'd love to see you learn a Revocation song like "Of Unworldly Origin" or "The Grip Tightens". Any song by them really.
Gojira - Backbone to test your gallops
Next song Mick Gordon BFG Division.
Learn Blood Red Throne - Homicidal Ecstacy or Bolt Thrower - When Cannons Fade. Also, huge fan of Vogg so I loved the video man!!! 🤘🏻
"The solo is pretty straightforward, it's just a bunch of notes" - Ola the Guitarerer
I laughed out loud at that part lol
"You can tell how to play the solo because of how it is."
well he wasnt wrong
lmao
Such called Western music itself, contains only 12 notes. I have learned it, not that long ago, after playing guitar, for almost 50 years. Shame on me🤭
Vogg is one of death metal's best guitarists. Dudes a fucking cyborg with that picking hand. Props to Ola big time
Have seen it live, can confirm. Like listening to a dude run a jackhammer.

@@EmanueleFerro the listening audience is still playing catch up to winds of creation. I think people are finally understanding it two some odd decades after it's release
I got the immense pleasure of being Vogg's student. He is simply from a different planet. Far, far away. And, by the way, super nice guy.
I got the lessons personally as well in his place in Krakow. Very eye opening experience.
@@IgoRthethrasher What pick does he use? It's been a mystery how he has so much attack but is so clean at the same time.
If he's a Dimebag and Pantera fan, he's GOTTA be a great guy!
Vogg has the best right hand in the death metal scene. Godlike.
Correction: God's right hand is Vogglike.
Have you heard Erik Rutan?
@@VitaTristis Was just about to say. His right hand is insane with the string skipping and weird shit he does.. but still, both are just outrageous. I prefer Vogg overall.
Rest in Peace Ola's arm.
The problem has to lie in the fact that all the picking comes from Vogg's wrist and not his arm. That's the key
well spotted!
Yes sir, glad i learned the technique.
Not to be a smartass but.. yes actually to be a smartass, my recent 2 'shorts' are playing this intro at 110 and 120 percent. I did try to get good shot of my picking hand
Tension still builds up in the arm from stabilizing the wrist. At least for me

DECAPITATED IS THE PANTERA OF DEATH METAL!!!!
Fucking Legends. Still so sad about Vitek man…rest in power brother
And Covan.
HHELL YEAH THATS RIGHT..AND VOGG IT'S THE NEW DIMEBAG OF DEATH /GROOVE METAL
That's a massive insult to Decapitated
that's probably the best way to put it. Waclaw took his love of pantera and put the technical death metal twist on it.
Vitek and vogg were the most fucking insane combo ever exist!
Decapitated are an elite tier band. Vogg is a legit riff master!
Ola, greetings from Poland. DECAPITATED rulezzzz!
I LOVE \DECAPITATED/!! VOGG = POLANDS FINEST!! TRUE LEGEND!!💪👊🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

speaking of that album, how about that brutal fucking breakdown riff towards the end of The Negation (the song), tried playing it, its impossible lol
Are you omitting the sad fact or you do not know. Actually, R.I.P. Vitek (02/11/2007)
@@Airtrooper719 i love that riff. when i heard it the first time, i was thinking, damn that's tasty!

So even in the music video, you can clearly see it's all fairly effortless and from the wrist. Whereas when you sit down in non-classical position, suddenly your arm starts doing a bunch of the work. Took me years to be able to get past that, and practicing stood up with my guitar slung low was kind of a eureka moment for me!
Good observation
nice
I love the expression of overwhelming dread when you switch from -50% back to normal for the intro riff.
I love this song, and I love playing guitar. But man, this is much more easier on air guitar! 😆
They only way is to push yourself above and beyond it all., you're absolutely correct and yes it hurts, but it's worth it brother. 👌
Oh, we cannot beat this "stamina picking thing" Ola. So we need to switch picking type and genre too. I don't know that are you familiar with it but a Wintersun song would be interesting eg. Starchild, Battle Against Time or Winter Madness. Yeah, definitely would be interesting.
Anything off of the self titled album would be awesome
Death - The flesh and the power it holds
Ola learning a Decapitated song: Fuck me!
Vogg learning a The Haunted song: Is that all you got?!?
I hope you and Vogg can do a Coffee with Ola some day!
Vogg is by far my favorite death metal guitarist. His riffs are so quick, and precise, yet groovy. He paved the way for technical death metal bands like Soreption, which I highly recommend checking out for Decapitated fans. Great job on the cover!
We need Ola learning a Psycroptic song for our entertainment.
Nice video, tribute to Vogg. Would love to see more from Ola
props, my hand cant handle it either
Vogg is defenitely the best metal guitarist to walk this earth. His technique is so flawless and impeccable. Change my mind. You won’t
Polish death metal = the best death metal 🇵🇱
I'm sorry, but I find even the tiniest notion of that there can be only one "best guitarist" in any given genre, especially when if you just consider pure technical skill, is so weirdly naive, almost childish. Like, have you ever heard of Wes Hauch, who has one of the most clean and inhumanly precise playing of all metal guitarists ever (and his guitar tone is *the* best tone of all modern metal guitarists, change my fucking mind)? Of Joe Haley from Psycroptic? Of Jeff fucking Loomis (imo his best work both technically and compositionally is on the Conquering Dystopia's self-titled LP)? Of Dave Davidson from Revocation?
@@icipher6730 sorry bro but Vogg is technically and compositionally the best. I mean the guitarists you mentioned are great ofc but as for me, they haven’t written such bangers as vogg has ( better not to meantion new Arch Enemy) Carnival is forever along with the first four decapitated albums are admittedly masterpieces and modern classics. All the riffs on the albums are out of this world and technical at the same time. No one is able to recreate decap’s riffs the way he plays them. That’s why you will never see second guitar in the crew :)
@@travisbickle3604 You people are weird for arguing over who's the best. Some people like Decapitated because the riffs are vicious and tight, some people like Arch Enemy because they write beautiful melodies and put on amazing performances, and some people like Jeff Loomis because of...well, all of the above. And some people like Bob Dylan because of his remarkable lyricism. Just listen to what you want to listen to and don't bother about what other people think :D
I saw the title and thought for sure it was going to be Spheres of Madness, pleasantly surprised, both songs are fucking sick
I am a bit surprised that vogg didn't recommend something from anticult, that album has more groove oriented and less techy riffs, Kill this Cult for example could have worked really well for this video series
he recommended it because iits their most know mainstream song
@@zbigniewiksinski I'd argue that title goes to Spheres of Madness
@@LeGrandPleb Or Day 69 :D
2nd "Ola Learns" and again our polish Legacy (now the better one)! Good Job.
I think hate me by children of bodom would be a fun one to learn. It's not the hardest song, but it's also not easy. The guitar solos do be hard tho imo, but ofc you can skip em.
Seconded
That was gnarly, Ola! Especially that +10% speed! I wanna learn some of that opening riff, and look this band up. Thank you! 🤘🏻🎸🇺🇸
very impressive, but you can learn smells like teen spirit?
No U
As a black metal player for 15 years. The speed is all in the wrist and all about being relaxed. The second you start flexing anything you’ll get sloppy. Great video Ola and sick song.
