I'm a Member as well as an owner & avid player of a Solar A1.6ETWM & V1.6BOP & Satan 120W. Ola's Member Group is well worth the $5, (probably much more.) The content is valuable & interesting; & the live chats very enjoyable. I think the main thing I get out of it is, in a very small way, giving back to Ola for his altruism & open-hearted approach to the metal guitar community. It simply feels good to be part of the Ola/Solar family - simple as that. If you've gotten great info from Ola on the regular RUclips, you're likely to feel even more satisfied and enthusiastic as a Member.
Well said ! I feel the same thing here, I just don't own a Solar...yet ; ) Giving 5$ a month to someone I watch a couple of time a week seems to be more than worth. Keep us entertained Ola ! we love you.
I am a member and it totally worth it. First: you contribute to keep who really deserve it on the loop (and on the work). Second: more interesting Videos. Third: it’s like a family.
Ola. With how much you have geeked out on gear over the years, I'm surprised you haven't done any comparisons of different guitar speakers- Greenbacks, V30s, G12-65's, Eminence etc etc. I would love to hear your take on the different speakers
Hey Ola, have you ever thought about adding 8 string models into the Solar lineup? I think there's a spot in the market for mass-produced mid-tier 8 strings that have long enough scale lengths for the stuff people actually want to play on them
Doug Fletcher i swear companies like LTD and Ibanez have barely if not any guitar that have a 28”. Imagine a Solar 8 string with the horn carves, 28” scale and bolt on for affordability
I kept angling the pick backwards and struggled to play many things...I've since managed to unlearn that and use a more slanted picking style and it helped sooo much
Ola, I respect how hard-working you are,... I saw you in a picture with Rabea Massad, that was so rad, I'm already excited for next Sunday's FAQ because this was so funny. Kitchen cover soon?
Is it possible to play metal using Wes Montgomery right hand technique? It's like bass thump style. Could you play a video of him playing and try to play metal like that? Regards from Madrid.
ah I was looking forward to an FAQ done from Japan, but this is great too! Hope you're having a blast with TPS and Rabea there, cheers from Vietnam bro
Bonjour Ola ! Based on your experience as a listener and as a musician, where do you think the metal music is going? With the years, new components have taken place into the composition process (more strings on guitars, low tuning, combination with other instruments and electronic devices, fast tempos, slow tempos, etc.), which is why the genre is so wide, but how do you picture metal in the future? Merci for your time, keep up the good work!
Ola, love the videos, one of the best RUclips guitarists I've seen, have you ever considered making extended range Solar guitars? I.e. 8, 9, or 10 strings?
Hey Ola! I try every video to ask a question but there are so many people that ask you dont get around to mine. So I'm just going to say you're awesome and i love your videos instead of asking a question. Much love Ola! 🤘🖤
Hey Ola! Great vids man, love what you do! I was wondering what plugin do you use for drums? Also, would you mind telling us a little bit about your workflow when composing drum tracks. I have a love/hate relationship with drum editing, it is time-consuming and sometimes breaks the creativity flow... see what I mean? Have you experienced this feeling? How did you overcome this? Anyway, thanks and keep up the great work! Cheers from Canada!
Hi Ola ! I have a question ! I'm planning to click on that magnificient JOIN button as soon as possible ( money struggles and stuff ). Will i get access to upcoming exclusive videos only ? Or will i be able to watch all the exclusive content that came out before i become a member ? Sorry for the possible mistakes, and thanks a lot for the incredible content you are giving us ! Watching your videos really brighten my day. Cheers from France !
Metal guys love the chug. That's why we're metal guys. I've noticed the reverse angle with most self taught metal guitarist. That down strum is what makes rhe chug. It's punks contribution to metal.
Hi Ola, what is your opinion on keeping good band chemistry and getting along with other band members over a longer period of time? How do you do it? Thank you for creating awesome original content, keep up the great work. Cheers 😎
Ola huge fan. Love your work with The Haunted and I have recently found your channel here. I'm am always curious, when listening to other bands albums, what tends to catch your focus first. Guitars or drums? I'm a guitarist as well but I find that I focus on drums, and when learning songs I'm sometimes surprised by how the parts are played or sound because I missed it listening to the drums. I should add, I play the drums as well, but guitar is my first love. Anyway, big fan love your channel, very informative and brutal as hell!
Hi, Ola. I have a question unresolved for decades. I think you are the right person to answer, because you are a Swedish guy. I’m a long time death metal fanboy since late 90s. One day I realized that too many Swedish metal band appears in my random playback. Quickly skimming list of artists in my playlist, here they are(ordered by preference, crudely). Dissection(RIP Jon Nödtveidt), At The Gates, Arch Enemy, Carnal Forge, Defleshed, The Crown, Necrophobic, Hypocrisy, In Flames, Meshuggah, Dark Tranquility, Witchery, Entombed, Dismember, Darkane, Soilwork, Dimension Zero, Edge of Sanity, Infestdead, Luciferion, Unleashed, Vermin, Yngwie Malmsteen, Mattias Eklundh, Pain of Salvation…and more. The list will be much longer if Norway and Finland are included. Note that ‘too many Swedish’ thing is not intended at all, since I just picked evil-looking CDs in a record shop to find new metal artists. It is like…..bloody Swedish is united with Norway and Finland to hack my brain and to eat up my iphone storage. What is so special(or wrong or fucked up) with Sweden and Scandinavia? Why are there so many metal band? What Swedish stuff made you become a sarcastic metalhead? (“Doom” in my case)
Szeva Ola! I've just ordered my first 7string guitar, a left handed Solar A2.7 and im so excited! Is the body material made of swamp ash really? Never owned a guitar like that, im curious. Always played Mahogany or alder. Cheers from Hungary!
Hi Ola, since a lot of solar guitars come in matte/satin finishes, do you have tip on how to prevent the finish from build up shiny spots where you constantly touch it? E.g. underneath the strings where the fingers touch the finish (only the case for some picking styles) or where your right arm rests on the body?
Ola, I recently became a member. I was wondering what advice you could give me on returning to guitar after not consistently playing for 10 years to get the chops back up to speed. Thank you for all you do. Looking to pick up a solar V artist model next month.
Hi Ola! Hopefully soon I will be getting my very own Solar guitar. I'm pretty excited but I was wondering if you could recommend any mini amps that work particularly well with the Solars. I'm looking at the Katana Mini and using everyone's favourite Boss Metal Zone pedal. But maybe you have noticed the Solars working better with a different line of amps? Tak!
Hi Ola. When you're writing for The Haunted and you come up with a really killer riff or solo, are you ever tempted to just put that riff to one side and save it for Feared or one of your other side projects?
Man Ola,your video editing has come a long way. You have become really good at putting these together so fast and so good. Can i ask,what software do you use for editing,and is your zoom tool a third party effect,or is it in the editing program itself?
Hello Ola are you planning of making natural finish solar guitars? I you had a V in natural, I would buy in an instant! Thank you and keep burping....rocking! I mean rocking!
I used to stroke the pick like that when started playing, and i think it was better for some precission and speed moves actually. I started playing the regular way some years after because i thought it would be better. Well kinda. I think both are good depending for what. I'm trying to do this more again now because i almost forgot it.
Ahoj Ola! Do you know the band "Betzefer"? They have quite some Pantera-esque groove attitude and since you're such an Pantera fanboy i thought you might take a peek in your newly established segment "band suggestion of the week". I'd suggest the song "early grave" for starters. Though i dont think they're much active anymore they have put out some solid albums.
hi Ola! this is not the #86 question about solar bass, your picking technique or saying hello in the streets. you already answered numerous times... just want to know if we can hope, some day, to see a solar model without the fretboard inlay. thanks! have a nice day
Hey man, have you tried LePou amp plugins? Apparently they have ENGL Powerball, Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, Marshall something and a soldano amplifier simulators and they seem to sound pretty close to the actual amplifiers however i never had the chance to plug my guitar into one of these amplifiers thus i can not compare. These plugins are free and it'd really really be great if you kind of tried those out and compared those to the real ones. It'd definitely help me decide whether i should quit this plugin crap and buy a decent tube amplifier instead. I have a Blackstar HT1RH from the first gen which doesn't chug at all and a broken bugera 6262 which my friend spilled some drink while it was turned on around 7 years ago and i can't remember how it sounded. I recently got back into playing seriously so i'd really be happy if you did review these plugins. I believe it's probably my fault that these amp simulators still kind of sound so digital, that there's something missing to my ears.
Privet, Ola! Recently I've been thinking on getting a new guitar and things I looked at were mostly Schecter. Can you say anything about it? Now with all these Solar days I'm not sure anymore and need some strong non-biased opinion. Anyways, good lucks on your poops mate! Get us a biggie!
I’ve had the same guitar and amp for 20 years! Goin to purchase an 8 string guitar, what brand would you think is a good choice and should I purchase an amp or just get plugins for my computer of course just jamming at the house?!?!?! Thanks Ola your the man
Hey Ola, how did you get a hold of that Boogie Bolt Washburn that you used in your solo cover of 10s? I know about your other Dime Guitars but I’ve never heard the story for that one.
Hey, Ola! I also hold pick backwards like you whole my life, but ONLY while doing downstrokes. Rest - alternate picking. So it's kinda combination of both worlds. p.s. IMHO backwards down pickin' sound more chunky and blade sharp.
The reason why people like watching stuff that isnt gear related is that you have a cool, funny, likable, relatable personality. This is why i think you should do more on your gaming channel, and make it appeal to a wide audience. Because gaming already appeals to a large audience, you'll grow in viewership greatly with consistent uploading, and come across great monetization opportunities. People enjoy YOU, Ola, not only your rad skills, knowledge and gear. Capitalize on that.
Hey ola. Here is my Question for the next FAQ. When you pick, do you do the picking motion out of your wrist or your whole arm, or do you kinda do the motion with your thumb and your index finger? Thats something my guitar teachee tells me to do, but i havent seen it that often. greedings from germany
Hey Ola! How do you warm up before a gig? Is there a specific set of exercises that you use for warming up or do you just play random stuff in different techniques on an unplugged guitar? Greetings from Romania and keep rockin'! \m/
When you record using your cab/mic setup, do you wear headphones to isolate the sound or do you just listen thru the monitors and allow a little of the backing track to bleed into the guitar mic? Or maybe the guitar mic doesn't "hear" the monitors?
Hej Ola! Will you consider having a Solar model with locking tuners while not having the Evertune bridge? What do you think about Rammstein? Suggestion for swedish word of the day: "Prick". Tack för superunderhållande videos! :)
Hey Ola, quick question... Where in chain to you place your Gate? Are you using the sends and returns? I’m throwing a pedalboard together and trying to figure out where I should be putting it. Cheers!
Hi Ola, I know that these vids are not gear oriented but I want to know your opinion between buy a classic mesa booguie or a rectoverb to get the rectifier sound. There is any difference? I want to go for my first Mesa amp. Cheers. Love your vids dude
Olá Ola, another curious fact about Brazil (besides that your name means "hello") is that we have a condom brand called Olla. After learning a bit of swedish with your videos, everything started to make sense
Hola Ola, im a guitarist with no band but a ton of songs written, I’m currently recording them on my own at the moment, I’m wondering if you have any advice on some of the best ways to get my music out there, until I can get a band together. Also love your videos man! Cheers 🤘
Thanks for watching guys!
Please check out Abyssal mouth, asked so many times ola
Ola Englund NISSIN NOODLE SOOOUP!
no
You're welcome :-]
Thanks for uploading videos!
\m/
Once again Ola- Studio Desk is from Slovenia! 😃 Every. Damn. Time.
Hey Ola. Will there be a Solar 10-string, Floyd Rose, microtonal model with a VantaBlack finish?
Poo Ninja robo tuners lmao
Oh yes, and with robo tuners! Too much? OK, maybe with an active sustainer instead.
i like where your head is at
And a pink dildo headstock. Can't forget about that.
I want one in lefty. I'm not a lefty but I think now that ola is rich and making guitars it would be no issue.
I'm a Member as well as an owner & avid player of a Solar A1.6ETWM & V1.6BOP & Satan 120W. Ola's Member Group is well worth the $5, (probably much more.)

Well said ! I feel the same thing here, I just don't own a Solar...yet ; ) Giving 5$ a month to someone I watch a couple of time a week seems to be more than worth. Keep us entertained Ola ! we love you.
@@Mezzier Thanks Nikola.
Perfect explanation!
@@biggmigg22m32 Thanks Miguel!
being a member of this channel gave my life around 78% more value! Totally worth it
I'm having trouble finding a Per Nilsson for guitar solos.
Would I have more luck searching at thomann or at ikea?
"Happy with what I have." Simple words but really cool. I was gear freak out but now I am happy with stuff I got and concentrate on practice now.
The editing of your videos is problably 105% the reason I watch them. And the guitar stuff as well...5%.
You make my weekend ola!!!!
I'm a member and Solar customer. Happy with both because the producer (Ola) cares about what he is doing.
I am a member and it totally worth it. First: you contribute to keep who really deserve it on the loop (and on the work). Second: more interesting
Videos. Third: it’s like a family.
Relationship is the KEY when talking about digital marketing, i think maybe can be the way you run your membership thing on youtube. Love U!
I like the Pantera shirt of Phil giving himself a hug!
Never thought I'd happily watch a Swedish man eat a Banana. I'm so conflicted right now.
I had the same reaction to Mouth For War. Still one of my favourite riffs today. The end.
Servus Ola!
Will there be more Fishman fluence Pickups in Solar guitars?
Whats your opinion on Devin Townsend??
Greetings from Bavaria \m/
Bavaria is Germany.
Ola. With how much you have geeked out on gear over the years, I'm surprised you haven't done any comparisons of different guitar speakers- Greenbacks, V30s, G12-65's, Eminence etc etc. I would love to hear your take on the different speakers
Ola, why did you stop using drop Ab, that one tasty jam that you always used to use in the old FAQ's always gets me fired up
Hi Ola, i just wanna say that the new finishes on solar guitars are fucking awesome! Loved them from the first time i saw them!
Loving that DarkGlass coffee cup
Hey Ola, have you ever thought about adding 8 string models into the Solar lineup? I think there's a spot in the market for mass-produced mid-tier 8 strings that have long enough scale lengths for the stuff people actually want to play on them
28" scale would be great.
Wit single coil option
Doug Fletcher i swear companies like LTD and Ibanez have barely if not any guitar that have a 28”. Imagine a Solar 8 string with the horn carves, 28” scale and bolt on for affordability
I kept angling the pick backwards and struggled to play many things...I've since managed to unlearn that and use a more slanted picking style and it helped sooo much
Hey Ola, how do we bring back 80's speed metal??
Join and support a good band. Play live every time you can. Record and publish your music.
Charlie Source?
BUY MUSIC
BUY TICKETS
The editing is worth it.
I'm up because of my baby, thanks for our entertainment!
Behind the magic veal!!!!!
Hahahaha. Classic Ola
Love it!!!
Also Meshuggah!
Ola, I respect how hard-working you are,... I saw you in a picture with Rabea Massad, that was so rad, I'm already excited for next Sunday's FAQ because this was so funny. Kitchen cover soon?
Is it possible to play metal using Wes Montgomery right hand technique? It's like bass thump style. Could you play a video of him playing and try to play metal like that? Regards from Madrid.
holy shit now there's an idea
SICK PANTERA SHIRT!
Have you ever thought about doing an offset style Solar guitar? Like a Fender Jazzmaster?
Awesome work! Keep it up!
I pick just like ola!. Glad I’m not alone
Happy early Birthday Ola!
You know the key to not getting demonetized?
not be monetized
Yeah but no money = no videos. Ola would have to start slinging cosmetics again
You can always sell that thicc body
Have to sell your man juice hahahaha
Rudy Ayoub Best type of thinking. No one touches you if you're on fire.
hey man can i get some face cream? ;)
ah I was looking forward to an FAQ done from Japan, but this is great too!
Hope you're having a blast with TPS and Rabea there, cheers from Vietnam bro

Whoa! What is that game on the screen. It looks amazing!
Ola, we love you, bruh! I live for these faq vids! Been laid up after rotator cuff surgery and your vids are getting me through it. Cheers, Duder!
Have a great time at Japan! Great FAQ. 👍🏼
Dig your style man and your videos. keep rocking, added to our recommended video playlist
Hey Ola, is there any tips for getting that perfect distorted sound without it getting too muddy? Keep up the great work!
best youtuber channel music ever, greetings from Ecuador..
Hey Ola! Great vids man, love what you do! I was wondering what plugin do you use for drums? Also, would you mind telling us a little bit about your workflow when composing drum tracks. I have a love/hate relationship with drum editing, it is time-consuming and sometimes breaks the creativity flow... see what I mean? Have you experienced this feeling? How did you overcome this? Anyway, thanks and keep up the great work! Cheers from Canada!
Hey ola, I just wanted to let you know, your FAQ videos are perfect bathroom videos. I occasionally get to laugh out a nug or two!
It always makes me laugh the weird crap this guy does when editing the videos, such as 6:56 hahahhaha
Love you, Ola!
Hi Ola ! I have a question !
I'm planning to click on that magnificient JOIN button as soon as possible ( money struggles and stuff ). Will i get access to upcoming exclusive videos only ? Or will i be able to watch all the exclusive content that came out before i become a member ?

Metal guys love the chug. That's why we're metal guys. I've noticed the reverse angle with most self taught metal guitarist. That down strum is what makes rhe chug. It's punks contribution to metal.
I play with my pick angled backwards. It’s what’s always has felt right, but it did take me a lot longer to learn how to sweep pick.
Hi Ola, what is your opinion on keeping good band chemistry and getting along with other band members over a longer period of time? How do you do it? Thank you for creating awesome original content, keep up the great work. Cheers 😎
Ola Ola! I'm in love with the S1.6FR, will it arrive at Brazil?

Szeva Ola! I've just ordered my first 7string guitar, a left handed Solar A2.7 and im so excited! Is the body material made of swamp ash really? Never owned a guitar like that, im curious. Always played Mahogany or alder. Cheers from Hungary!

E.g. underneath the strings where the fingers touch the finish (only the case for some picking styles) or where your right arm rests on the body?
That's a nice Darkglass mug you have there, will you be putting a Darkglass pre in the Solar bass? :)
Ola, I can’t find your old video playing Godlike on the ENGL Blackmore anymore.... That video ruled! Are some of your old videos gone forever?
Hey Ola! Love the hair. How do you get the live video game wallpaper on your PC? How about a game of Gwent?
Ola, I recently became a member. I was wondering what advice you could give me on returning to guitar after not consistently playing for 10 years to get the chops back up to speed. Thank you for all you do. Looking to pick up a solar V artist model next month.

Hey Ola, has the Haunted thought about releasing more tab books/songs as you did for Strength in numbers album? thanks
New Ola Logo (and hi-tech decepticon sound) as end-credit is great. Unfortunately it’s hidden behind video links.

Ola, what are your top 3 favorite non-Solar guitars and why? Just curious. Thanks bud! Cheers from Pennsylvania.
I’ve had the same guitar and amp for 20 years! Goin to purchase an 8 string guitar, what brand would you think is a good choice and should I purchase an amp or just get plugins for my computer of course just jamming at the house?!?!?! Thanks Ola your the man

Have you listened to Letters From the Colony? If not you should.... love your hair
Hey Mr. Englund! Have you got any special mechanics for your big fat chords? Can you show us some stretched ones? Greets from Hungary!
Paul Gilbert used to pick like you in his early Racer X days. And he had a sick tempo on alternate picking.
You mean racer x?
Of course. Sorry, was a bit early for me when I typed.

Digging the Hollow Knight in the background. Also, could you give some tips on "the first tour"? Like, the very first one a band has.
Love your videos!
Keep up the super badass work! 🤘🏻
Hola Ola who wrote time (will not heal) ? awesome riff!!!, best riff of the haunted.
Hej Ola! Will you consider having a Solar model with locking tuners while not having the Evertune bridge? What do you think about Rammstein? Suggestion for swedish word of the day: "Prick". Tack för superunderhållande videos! :)
Do you still have the Yamaha's HS-8 that you were previously using and are those monitors that much better?
Hey Ola, quick question... Where in chain to you place your Gate? Are you using the sends and returns? I’m throwing a pedalboard together and trying to figure out where I should be putting it. Cheers!
Hi Ola, I know that these vids are not gear oriented but I want to know your opinion between buy a classic mesa booguie or a rectoverb to get the rectifier sound. There is any difference? I want to go for my first Mesa amp. Cheers. Love your vids dude
Your opinion on Death Breath ?
( former members of Entombed ) Obviously not a new band or anything, I love it, just curious of your opinion.
Hi Ola! Is it comfortable to play the guitar sitting when the armrests of the chair are attached? I always remove any armrests.
Olá Ola, another curious fact about Brazil (besides that your name means "hello") is that we have a condom brand called Olla. After learning a bit of swedish with your videos, everything started to make sense
Hey, I had that shirt back in the day!
Ola, I am sorry if this has been asked before, but are you planning to come to the West Coast of the USA? Thanks! Love your videos!
Hola Ola, im a guitarist with no band but a ton of songs written, I’m currently recording them on my own at the moment, I’m wondering if you have any advice on some of the best ways to get my music out there, until I can get a band together. Also love your videos man! Cheers 🤘
