I would like to ask for your opinion! There is quite a lot of controversy surrounding the American series Jackson. Many people cannot understand that this is not a Jackson "made in USA" model. The use of made in usa is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission! Either people are uneducated or they just can't understand that just because something is made in Corona, it doesn't automatically make it Made in Usa! In order to use "made in USA", 95% of the manufacturing cost of the guitar must be related to the USA. This means that only very expensive custom shop models can comply with these rules! They push the production cost so high that Chinese accessories and Floyd Rose can fit in the 5%! American series made in California, but not Jackson Made in Usa model!
Being a lefty, I can confirm that we indeed do always receive the shit-smeared end of the stick when it comes for guitars lol. Finding anything decent is next to impossible and takes forever! 7 strings are a pain in the ass to find. I waited 2 years to get one of my dream guitars (Schecter JL-7 FR) but man was it ever worth it! I got it in Vampyre Red which is next to impossible to get nowadays especially in a lefty configuration, and it plays so well! The 24th fret access feels a little constricted imo (I have big caveman hands lmao), but other than that, I have no complaints!
hey @The Shape i’m with you bro as a fellow lefty you’re right we do sometimes get the short end of the stick, I should know I’m 51 and I grew up in the 80s and you would be hard-pressed to find anything cool much less really playable and with decent features during the mid to late 80s all fender offered was a lefty stratacaster or telecaster in maybe one or two colors and Gibsons are always way too expensive and forget finding any real cool shredder guitars from Kramer or Jackson and Charvel, which is why it’s actually kind of awesome to be a lefty during the times we live in right now in my opinion even Kramer has at least 4 to 5 lefty models and in different colors even Jackson makes at least 3 to 4 lefty models and even Charvel you get at least three now, but I gave up on fender a long time ago im a Schecter player now they have such a great variety and awesome features and high in points for decent prices,i personally own the nick Johnston HSS model super versatile and with all the high-end features and hardware you’d want I recommend checking one out
I have a friend I've been playing with for years, a lefty. But last week he told me that he's only a lefty on guitar!!! Wtf??? I thought he was full lefty. He said at the beginning it felt right so he "chose it"... Terrible mistake, although less temptation...
@@basildog007 yup same here I chose to be left-handed because that was the most natural thing for me to do was to place to guitar on my lap in the left-handed position and also I have like no dexterity in my left hand at all I couldn’t even do cowboy chords but as soon as I flip the guitar upside down it just felt natural to me sometimes it’s not a choice, even though it limits my choice of guitars I’d rather be able to fully play the guitar and shred the way I do instead of being able to barely play cowboy chords besides now in 2022 we have a huge variety of lefties choose from
DUDE! My life story!! I also love Schecters. They are incredible guitars and basses. Also they don't rape us with the cost! Im considering getting a Solar. But I'm so used to my Schecter! Cheers to #TeamLefty RESPECT! ruclips.net/video/hU1hkawm4lo/видео.html
I am blown away by the mini guitar from Multi Awesome Studio!!! What a remarkable craftsman!! I love your Hutchinson and that little guitar is such a thoughtful gift. I cannot imagine how long it took for him to carve and create that along with the case. Daniel is a beast!! 🤘
The runes on the mini guitar case are indeed accurate. They are the Elder Futhark runes which would have been used to spell Old Norse words but they spell "Solar" in English. Amazing work by the artist.
Ola, I originally came here over ten years ago just to watch your amp demos. You have without a doubt the absolute BEST amp demos on the web. You beat out all the other guys. Keep being you and showing us all the other cool shit you do as well. I enjoy it all!
Love my new Jackson Rhoads, 1st guitar, no idea what I'm doing, I think I need lessons lol, BUT I did make it squeal with a pinch harmonic the other day, that was fun!!!!
The most important thing young guitar players who want to play live don’t understand is that they need to practice 4-6 hours a day (almost every day). That way they can build that mechanical memory that will allow them to play while head banging, walking, talking, singing, and all that jazz. If you watch famous guitar player documentaries when they talk about their early years, they all say they spent all that time and more practicing.
*C-sharp, man 😛 That mini guitar is on point! I remember the whole DAR amps thing being a shit-show. Just looked it up again to refresh my memory. For one, with all the components involved, the amps were more expensive to build than what the guy wanted to sell them for. Second, supposedly the guy was building them all by himself, mostly as a hobby, and they took a long time to build. So you can imagine what happened when alot of people started preordering them. Because of the waiting time, and because the few ones that had already been delivered had issues, people started asking for refunds... aaand the guy couldn't handle those, so he disappeared. If the Internet is to be believed, even Fredrik never got anything more than a prototype. Re: QOTD - As someone who's always nervous before a gig (not that I've played many to begin with), I find that the more you have practiced by yourself and with a band, the sooner that pre-gig nervousness goes away.
You should set up the big and mini guitars so that the bigger one is further away, making them appear the same size… or not, that’s probably a massive waste of time. That’s just what I would probably do. If I had those guitars… which I obviously don’t. I’m not Ola, I don’t have nice things. But if I did, I would… just saying Happy Sunday by the way
I wish they would do something new. Like SS frets or fishman moderns, something that will be available on more traditional Jackson models than a regular Duncan Distortion or JB. The new colors are cool tho. I just wish the new guitars came in an hh combo
I was expecting Ola to show us a little bit more about the X shaped guitar he played live. Such a killer axe! That would be my signature model any day of the week Ola! Call me! LOL
Yeah I read quite a while ago that Steve was asked the best advice that Frank Zappa ever gave him. Steve stated that Frank told him to NEVER GIVE UP YOUR PUBLISHING RIGHTS. Frank showed him how to set up his publishing company and retain his rights and royalties from his writing efforts.
I just watched Vai’s documentary!! It was great found out a lot of things I didn’t know.. Vai also played in the Hank Williams movie Crazy!! Could only find a snippet scene..
Over-practice is good advice for calming live nerves. I find nerves are really down to being under-prepared. I know I feel far more confident when I (and the rest of the band) are well-prepared- when the band is playing as a cohesive unit without thinking, when that muscle memory is locked in. You'll prob get sick of playing the songs but your confidence will be higher. Also try to warm-up on gig day. I know I usually play worse if I go on-stage cold. If a particular part is giving me the most grief live, I usually try to run over it multiple times backstage so I know my fingers have at least warmed up to the worst bit lol.
Those riffs and that tones/mix were sick. (Late) Happy birthday, hope the best and thanks for always putting out sick content. Also can't wait for them to hopefully add stuff like the transpose to old plugins
FAQ: hey ola! In what tuning do you practice and make your riffs? What do you think are the best type of chords and tunings for writing riffs like the ones you make?
I’ve had a Solar 1.6 for 3 years … keep it in the case oddly … it’s a beautiful guitar and I love it. Maybe I have OCD. Love the damn thing. Wish They sold these in the US straight up.
Ola: I'm not going to get tricked into any marketing campaign Also Ola: Talks about Fender/Jackson for 15 minutes, shows guitar he has received for free, says how "f*cking awesome it is"
@bigsauce why is he a loser? Seems to be one of the most genuine guys out there?. Well at least to me... and probably most... but I could be wrong. Maybe you know something we dont?
Sorry I missed ya yesterday morning Ola. Been out of it the last few weeks . We lost our son august 26th . His name was Phoenix . He was born 5 days before due date on August 13th because the placenta ruptured . He was dead for 20 minutes then came back and lived for 13 days . You always cheer me and Faith up on Sundays but we missed ya yesterday so we are catching up today. Appreciate you Ola.
Ola, I remember DAR! . I actually contacted you via email that year, after speaking to the owner of DAR, for your opinion and experience... Per your advice, I didn't persue DAR amplification. Thank you Ola! Your advice helped save me A LOT of money. Blessings! - Talvi
Every Sunday, fucking sick intros bro! you don't bleed red, you bleed musical notes! That is a sick guitar! I like the open matte finish. Glossy is just harder to keep clean! I don't even play guitar (i'm a shitty bass player), but man I'd love to get my hands on that thing!
I feel the same about the amount of people at a show. The more people that are there, the easier it becomes for me. I’d love to play a stadium show with 15 thousand people. That would be so easy. Thanks Ola for your show I never miss a show. SWOLA F**KIN ROCKS. So do you my brother.
Got tickets for Vai’s concert I’m around St. Louis, MO. So we’ll see him November 14th!! Gonna try to get my homemade Jem ( RG 550) 1991 Made in Japan!!

You can't talk about Metallica, Megadeth, and Pantera enough in my opinion!!! Korn and the Deftones rule too...
Good metal morning 🤘great mini guitar 😍 but will it chug ?
That is absolutely awesome!!!!
I want one 😍
smolar guitars
That opening riff was fucking great...can't wait for the Ola solo album built with SWOLA riffs!!!
That mini guitar is amazing, the builder has amazing skills. I think Everyone wants to know “will it chug”
Thank you! I tried it and it chug a tiny bit
@@MULTIAWESOMESTUDIO Do you have an email address I can contact?
I would 100% buy a mini solar
Wow! Incredible art
Made me super happy, seeing you unpack the Liten Viking!
Does the case say "solar" like ola thought?
@@M3tal_matt Yes it does.
Excellent man!
The Viking guitars are too awesome! 👍🏻👍🏻.
Very very cool!!! I Love this small Guitar!
You can see how Ola is genuinely delighted with that mini guitar, haha. The attention to detail is incredible!
Nickel backs production is world class. As a young canadian lad they helped get me into metal since they were one of the heaviest radio bands
Have you ever thought about releasing all these SWOLA riffs as a printed tab-book? Because I would totally buy that!
Yep!
I would also be interested
Or at least short tutorials from time to time
That Viking guitar is quite possibly the most beautiful instrument I’ve ever seen. I would kill to have a guitar like that 😵

very cool swola! That mini came out great sexy man, gosh damn. Dig the setup, nice one!
The mini guitar makes Ola look like a giant Ogre carrying it around lol. Such a cool looking guitar.
The runes on the mini guitar case are indeed accurate. They are the Elder Futhark runes which would have been used to spell Old Norse words but they spell "Solar" in English. Amazing work by the artist.
Mini guitar is amazing AF!
The new camera looks freaking fantastic Ola! As always, keep it up.
Also yes, that was Solar written in Elder Futhark runes! ;P
That mini solar guitar is amazing!!! And I looked up Runes alphabet and it does say Solar in Runes!!! So so so bad ass!!!
Wow the detail on that mini guitar looks spot on! That's cool OLA! 🤘
Holy shiiiiiiiiiitttt!!!!! That mini guitar is awesome!!!!
Ola holding the mini Hutchinson looks like Josh Scott holding a normal guitar 😂 Fucking awesome. Also the new look can definitely stay 👌
That miniature guitar is the cutest thing ever! 😍
It's so good to see Aaron Marshall get this type of recognition. He's a gift to the guitar world.
Damn that's a badass custom guitar that was built for you!

*Man… I’m late! I’m going to watch the Steve Vai video. 🎶🎵 I have been a fan of his since 20 years ago watching him live. Thanks for letting us know!*

shouldn't you caution this by commenting " if you're in it to possibly become famous"? Good Talk.
The problem is the internet didnt exist back then. Kids now days will watch a tik tok and call it practice
Epic riffs
Epic pick throw
Top notch news segment
Insane mini Viking guitar
SWOLA 101 might have been the best one yet
I think I speak for myself and the rest of us in saying this is one of the best opening riffs every to bless ears….
I really liked the Solar Guitar you were playing at the beginning. The black on black really looked good.
*C-sharp, man 😛
That mini guitar is on point!

19:01..wow!! Very cool, looks amazing!!
Iron Maiden use isolation boxes (4x12 ones) in their live rig, running backstage, with the sound going direct to the PA. So they can sound good
Love the vibrant new look
Yep, that's solar in runes.

I have a Strandberg Boden prog 7, and since ever I got the T1.7TBR two months ago, I haven't touched my Strandberg. It's such an awesome guitar!
Men Jackson is giving it their all on marketing this new soloist. Dig it though. Especially the blue one.

What hell of an intro riffing 🔥
It looks fantastic, nice color grading from the LOG man, very very smooth and cinematic 💥
Great show Ola, that was awesome as always man 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
pretty rad.

Love the JP plugin. Its amazing.
We need a full scale version of that killer Viking guitar on the Solar store NOW! DO IT!!!
I like how you tried to say something positive about NIckelback, so you mentioned the snare sound.
I wonder if the...öhh...liten viking-guitar was in tune?🤔
The new look is really breathtaking Ola. Congratulations 🎊
