While I can’t speak, for everyone, I believe this is one of the best Heavy Metal channels, for the simple fact of how authentic and sincere you are in every video and live stream that you release. You’re not afraid to show any quirks or extreme awkwardness despite being watched by thousands of people and that alone builds trust and confidence that the person on camera is the same person off camera, or at least I hope ,but I have a feeling you’re not one of those bad eggs. 🤘
That intro is just badass! Love it!!! HEAALL YEAAHH!!! That editing makes me wish I was left handed! Jimmy Paiges voice is high due to the price being high. That is really cool having a workshop for the customers, those Indonesians really can shred! It is really cool to have been on this journey seeing Solar from it's inception and growing, from Ola making videos in his spare room in the apartment to going from a smaller office to the current office, the launch of lefty guitars, launch of basses. S by Solar is an awesome concept.
Thank you Ola. Big metal fan. Played guitar decade ago. Youve helped me pick up a guitar again and its nice. I'm learning classical style. It's not as exciting as metal, but I'll get to play metal when i get better. thank you!
@@joshsmith7033 *breaks - and I have covered those breaks for him. I've broken so many that every time I order strings I get extra 9's, 10's, and 11's. Some Of the B strings too if I need them. I got a little heavy-handed stretching them out. As far as what he was thinking, there could be many, many reasons. A new family, children. Sometimes a mixture of a job and the family. Maybe an illness or parent or family member required full timcare. I didn't play for almost 10 years. My ex-wife would get jealous of my time spent playing and not paying attention to and spending money on her. So, I gave up one love to satisfy another. First thing I did when we got separated was buy a new rig. And I've been building up my collection since then. You never know what someone's reason for doing what we ourselves see as inconceivable. Just be grateful that you yourself haven't been put into that situation. And I pray you never do my friend. And I can finally rest easy knowing that a hex from the future is what's been causing me to break all of those "E" strings for the last 10 years! HAHA!!
@@joshsmith7033 The pad of the index finger on my left hand was cut away completely in a work accident. I didnt think i could play at all honestly. Very glad to know that I can!
The new boss katana go. Will it Chug . You can plug it through the PA or you can use your headphones and can connect your phone to it through Bluetooth.
Thats just something poor people complain about. Ive owned 4 gibsons, and only lost one headstock, ive also snapped a Japanese Ibanez RG headstock off on stage. I still play ibanez and gibson, its not their fault I’m absolutely out of control
@Ottophil just was giving a little bit of humor here. I own about 35 guitars, and I'm not poor , i got two Gibson and one Epiphone, and two of them had a broken headstock. They just have a bad headstock angle . I got pretty much every brand of guitars here, and only the Gibson product failed. But yes, other brands can break too for sure and are all , but those Gibson are the ones that are very sensitive and overpriced. But i still love them a lot
@@Ottophil It's absolutely Gibson's fault. I've been a guitar player for over 35 years, owned more than that in guitars, quite a few were Gibsons. And not one of them were any more special then their Epiphone counterpart. The headstock angle is directly responsible . With Ibanez, I can almost guarantee you that it was a double locking Trem and it had the rear mounted nut withe the screw holes through the neck. Bad design choices on both ends. Ibanez has since corrected theirs.
Ola, my name is Sean Cooney. I’m a veteran. I’m from Boston Massachusetts. Just wanted to say I love your show. I watch it every weekend. I’m saving up to buy solar guitar. Right now I have a EVH 5150 iii 50 W 2 x 12 for guitars. I have an EVH Wolfgang and Jackson dinky. I think you’re an awesome guitar player. I love when you do the licks at the end of the show where we practice. I wish we would do that more. I look forward to, but anyway just wanted to say hi wish you the best.
He finally woke up regarding FF.😂😂 I am the Jason Newsted of that thing I did FISM and started pestering them on it before these rules where set. I rehearse their us tour setlists every day. I guess i need to get the in ear thing now and a 5 string bass. Every other point I can cross off!
I have a friend who's an absolute brutal beast and he does the pinch harmonics with his pointer finger under the pick and doing an upstroke. Best pinch harmonics I have heard outside of Zakk.
Awesome Swola riff Ola. I just did the one hum one volume pickguard on my strat. It sounds so much better now. I hope to do a Swola soon. You rock man!
I recently got the Chug pedal. I ordered it on Monday and it was delivered on Thursday! Just in time for my birthday. I fucking love it!! Sounds amazing!
In that Gibson video, in that studio are 21 of those Jimmy Page Gibson EDS-1275 Doubleneck Collector's Edition guitars. That's $1.5 million USD of guitar.
As always another highly entertaining video. Been watching your content since the DAR amp demo you did. Keep up the awesome work, you're my first goto when looking for a gear review. "WILL IT CHUG....." 🤘
I have the fender and the vox headphone amps and sound great though my FRFR. Tried it though a pa at a bar and people where asking where the amp was. This is going to be cool
Ola, I have a terrible idea! You should make your own Solar Double Neck and make a Solo with it for the Chug project. You can call it "The Not $50,000 Solar Double Neck" 💡
Ok, there's another technique called a false harmonic, where you reach over to the fretboard with your picking hand, touch the string at whatever fret you want to ring with your index finger, and flick the string in front of it with the thumb of the same hand. Its kinda hard to describe it instead of show it.
I want a Katana GO, but already have a Spark GO, a microcube, and a Honeytone. The Spark Go sounds amazing through headphones (AKG) and is a great Bluetooth speaker. No point in me getting the Katana Go.
Ola you need to make more guitars with Floyd rose. It’s so hard to find a 7 string v or x guitar with a Floyd rose anymore. I know you have a few but flat black isn’t me.
i used to use my middle finger to do pinched harmonics but they always sucked when i learned to use my thumb for it it really took off, more efficient that way.
i always look forward to sundays with olas they get me back into the groove from a wicked hangover from the night before OR im still up drinking when it premieres because im in canada and the time zone diff is 1000 hours and i get it like 2 weeks early LOL, just kidding i get it at like 1am i think maybe 11pm saturday
@ola The undisputed master of harmonics was the late Lenny Breau. Check him out! He did all kinds of amazing stuff where he would cleanly hit the harmonic of each note in the chord he was playing. It sounds like a harp when mastered.
How I do my pinch harmonics is with both my thumb and index finger. I'll break it down a bit. I have the tip of my thumb lightly resting on the string and pick with the tip of my index finger at the same time.
relative to wanting high volume sale, imo the page guitar is to bring attention to boring ol gibson to sell lower end to the masses. i actually love pauls but their quality has been so low i have not heard of anyone i know that wants one. maybe some newbies sold on the iconic look and history
In ear monitors aren't too expensive unless you get custom fit which is likely to be the requirement here. They usually start at around $2000 for the quality brands.
OMG Ola that lefty is amazing as a left handed player myself there’s not many options for us especially metal guitars it’s amazing Sola Guitars are offering such fantastic choices take care mate
If you learn to play right handed the options are endless. As a righty, ive almost never had to pick a different guitar because it was left handed only
A walkthrough of how to dial in the "Chug" tone would be nice. All I get is a distorted flubby bassy muted rythm tone. Idk how much is in the pickups or noise gate settings.
When I was a kid I did pinch harmonics with by picking up and catching it with my finger. This was largely due to not having a teacher and holding the pick wrong. Worked though.
OLA - PLEASE RESPONG - I'm dying for a few Baritone X-Type and V model options. Don't get me wrong dude, I love my V1.6 Cannibalismo, and it's of much better quality than comparably priced competitor guitars, but I'm anticipating an announcement directed toward your high-end Made in Europe consumer base. I almost bought one of the XF6FRFSB models but I can't do a 24.75" scale and 22 frets. Would you please just tell us whether or not you are at least exploring potential long-term manufacturers of a top-tier high-end base of Made in Europe models? I'm not asking who, or when, or what, but more specifically whether I'm waiting on a day that will never come, or if over the last decade I know you well enough to know you're doing exactly what I assume/hope and working toward bringing a Solar equivalent of competitor top-tier models such as the ESP Original Series and Ibanez J-Custom to the market.
Hey ola! I noticed that the red guitar had a paint chip on the bottom horn and that gave me an idea for you. What if you sold Solar factory guitar paint from your guitar inventory of colors as paint repair kits. Something small in the size of nail polish vials . That way we don't piss off the wives or look funny buying nail polish at the beauty store.😂
I think Page signed each one as well as played them and included the pick he used. Not sure even then I'd pay $50k for it though. I really like my Fender Micro. Has a bunch of effects and amp combos but being able to change settings via phone would be pretty sweet.
I'm not in Europe or looking for a Mesa. But I do live in the US and cant touch a solar guitar unless I order it online so I feel their pain. Just sayin Ola......
The fart sound with Ola's face when he makes a mistake always makes me laugh ahahaha nice video again Ola! Watching you every sunday! Have a nice week!
