Thank you
Thank you so much guys, thank you.
I actually had a really hard time with that first song there
You know, I've been a little stressed out lately, but you know that song that you heard there
I just wrote it like one hour before I recorded this thing
It's a Riff Challenge and if you want to be in on that Riff Challenge
You download these drums for that song you just heard down in the description
And you make your own riffs to those drums and then you upload that
And maybe i'll feature you in the next Sunday with Ola
That's pretty f***ing fair, isn't it?
Welcome guys, it's another Sunday with Ola
You guys are amazing, it's quite incredible we're 10 episodes in
I just feel like I started Sunday with Olas
I see a lot of your comments out there, that you're liking the new format
I also see some that, you know, prefer the old ways, you know... the old FAQs and all...
But all in all I think it's very important that I switched
And did the switch to Sunday with Ola because it's more fun for me to do, it's way more open
And you know i'm not locked down that I have to, you know, respond to questions
It's just more open for me. So, I think as a result...
I think it's just way better because it makes me more free to you know, just do whatever I want
And maybe it will shine through a little bit better that I'm actually enjoying it, just saying
Anyways, thank you so much for being here. Have you seen this asshole?
Did you see the guitar I'm holding?
Noù'
Well, look at it
No, this is a new V1.6 Artist Cannibalismo guitar
It's what we call it. It's a blood splatter swamp ash body as you can see, you have an Evertune brdige...
Duncan Solar pickups, one volume knob...
No tone
Stainless steel frets, luminlay side dots, you know... Solar locking tuners...
Strap-on
You can put a strap-on here and you can have a dick in you at all times
We're definitely not the first brand making a blood splatter guitar
But I think we probably made the coolest one as of yet
In my opinion, I think this looks fff...
'finance' kickass
And before you spill your guts, this is not real blood, ok?
No pun, don't spill your guts
And this guitar is also available as a 7 string and it's available from solarguitars.com, you know the address
Because I've been f***ing cramming in your face for the past 10 years
Guys, I want to say thank you so much
In the last Sunday with Ola I asked...
Would someone please help me to get John Petrucci for a Coffee with Ola
And lo and behold, you know, a lot of people reached out and offered their help.
I finally got in contact with John
I got an email from the US and World Dream Theater fan club
Saying that he would love to do a Coffee with me, so...
Thank you to the guys at the Dream Theater US and World fan club for this.
Apparently they were watching Sunday with Ola
And they just learned about me wanting to have coffee with John petrucci, so that's awesome.
Since it is John Petrucci, though
You know, I just don't want to do it as a skype interview, you know?
Since he's such a big inspiration for me and you know my guitar playing
I think I need to do this in person, so...
And obviously as of right now it's not really going to happen because of the pandemic happening
But as it will cool down a little bit, I will make this interview happen
It's going to be very important to me to have this face to face rather than over a skype conversation
I don't like skype, you know, there's delay and there's awkward silences and all that
I want to talk to people face to face
And, you know with a guest like John Petrucci, it has to happen that way
So, the contact has been initiated
Thank you to everyone who reached out to try and help me
And it's going to happen guys, it's going to happen. I'm really really stoked and excited.
Okay, I'm going to open up my computer
I have this Key and Peele
I have this Key and Peele episode happening right here
I'm really big on Key and Peele right now
You know, I haven't watched any of that shit before, but it's it's really good... Key and Peele
So...
There's actually not too much news happening this past week
So instead of making some news I figured I would learn how to funk instead
Because that's equally as good as me reading news I think
You know, funk is not very very close to the genre of metal, just saying
But i've always been into the rhythmic aspect of playing funk
And you know, I've been listening a fair bit lately to like Vulfpeck
And you know the bass player and his band
And with that I've also seen the guitar player Cory wong
And he's an incredible guitar player, so I figured I would watch his video
It's a Cory Wong lesson, funk rhythm guitar and i'm going to learn how to funk, so...
I mean, look at this guy
I mean look at his right hand right there, it's f***ing all over the place
And you know, his picking technique
You know, the way he holds his pick is a little bit similar to mine, it's a little backwards, where you...
- ...anchor the thumb like this
- a lot of people ask me
About my right hand technique because...
That's a lot of what i'm known for and that's what drives a lot of rhythm.
I need the strat, 2 seconds
Good to go
Down up, down up, down up, down up, it's kind of a motor, that's just...
Chugging along, and...
Chugging along, I can relate
We got this
it's always going to be 'One, E and Uh, Two, E and Uh
So you never have to...
Holy shit
I mean look at this right hand... shit, it's like
Okay, I gotta try
It's really hard not to switch pickups when you play like this
Ok, so I think I have the movement going, but I need to move my hand closer to the strings
So they actually make a sound. Okay, you ready?
I'm moving it closer
Okay a little off there... okay, let's just start
I'm always hitting the pickup selector, okay...
Dude this is really exhausting to be honest, f***ing hell
- And that way it keeps my time
- F***
I see he's also playing a lot over here
I urge you guys to sit and do this with me, ok?
This is not easy, I have to practice, you have to practice as well
Do the same as me, be as cool as me.
I think it's going to be really good for me actually
Ok, so I don't have any news, but I have a really really awesome youtube tip for you guys to check out
I don't normally recommend to go to Gibson's youtube channel
But uh, I urge you to do so now because they've just uploaded
An icon interview with Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains
And it's so f***ing awesome
I kid you not, it's basically Jerry Cantrell talking about his youth
Talking when he started playing guitar, when he started you know, playing in bands, when he met Dimebag, it's...
It's an amazing interview
Don't skip out on this interview
He's such a genius and holy shit man
Alice in Chains obviously f***ing rock gods right there
Don't sleep on this interview, I'm just saying, it's a really good tip for you right there.
Just watch it and just indulge, ok?
That's my little tip, it's a tip
Hello
Today we're going on an adventure.
You might not notice, but Louise... she's an avid horse rider
Look at her, being all pro
So we're going on a short little horse ride today.
So yeah, we're doing this little uh horse riding thing today
It's gonna be exciting actually. Are you excited?
I've actually ridden a horse before but that was probably like 10 years ago
So I wouldn't call myself a pro. But you know, i'm somewhat good at horse riding.
Hours of playing Red Dead Redemption, Witcher 3 and Zelda.
This is going to be easy, a walk in the park
I'm ready
I'm sorry guys, but i'm just about to steal all your wahmen
This is my horse, From
Hey buddy, have you ever played Red Dead Redemption?
I don't know about this, Dutch
We got this
It's you and me
And the fields
And the birds
What bands do you like?
My favorite band is Pantera
With your hair there, it looks like you're into My Chemical Romance
Alright
It's you and me, Roach. You and me.
Woo Roach, no, no, no.
We're all hungry, good friend
This is so easy, just saying
Years of playing videogames have paid off
I need just one hand, look
If this was Witcher there would be a troll underneath this bridge
Are you eating his ass?
This was just really really too easy for me, I'm way too...
I'm way too good at this
Well done
We got him
Very nice
Alright
That went so well, right?
Yes, it was really nice
We were really good. I mean, I feel I feel like I had a connection with that horse.
And I was like...
Maybe I was... maybe I was a horse in a previous life
Like a horse reincarnated
And... no, but that was a lot of fun
The name of the horse is From
- From
- From
From, but in Swedish it's more like it's very kind
- Very kind horse.
- Yes
Just like me
Big kind horse
But yes, that was a lot of fun and that was Adventures with Ola
So as I said in the beginning regarding the Riff Challenge, I have it every week, ok?
And for last week's Riff Challenge
Which was a little bit tricky because it had...
A fair bit of different tempo changes happening throughout the drum track
But you guys were super amazing, super awesome
I saw a fair bit of contributions to the Riff Challenge
And I picked out one that I really truly truly enjoy and that is from Jack Harris
And it sounds like this
Lots of really really sick ass riffs right here
Heavy as f*** okay, check
Chugf***, he's chug**** there, check
And then tempo change
Listen to that
Super awesome
Incredible
Jack Harris everyone, if you want to be as cool as Jack Harris
You want to participate in the next Riff Challenge
Download the drums from the intro song that I had in this video
And you make your own riffs to that, upload it to youtube, write Sunday with Ola Challenge
or Sunday with Ola number 10
I'll find you
And maybe I'll get you featured in the next Sunday with Ola.
That's a good deal, right?
So a problem I have
It's a really really big problem, you guys
You cannot take this lightly.
A lot of people are asking 'Oh Ola, why are you wearing V-necks'
I'm not wearing V-necks, it's just that the microphone...
You know, I have to clip it on to something
And then the t-shirt kind of becomes a v-neck. Sorry.
First world problems right there... Riff of the Day
So for the Riff of the Day let's do that second riff in my song in the beginning
And... Oh, I'm on the wrong guitar
So we should probably make it funky, so...
Ok, let's not do the funk version
So for the riff you need a standard D guitar with a drop C, ok? So...
Slow it goes like this
Cool, huh? Pretty simple, pretty easy Riff of the Day.
Alright, so you guys know I've been slacking on the Ola Tasting Shit, you know, it's just like...
I've been doing a fair bit of American candy
But you know, it's just there's really not any good candy out there from the US, I'm sorry
But today i'm gonna try something I know is f***ing amazing
From the US
Upside down
It's beef jerky basically, and this is beef jerky from the Wild West
It's as American as it can be
34% protein, I wonder what the rest is...
Oh shit, maybe I shouldn't have read the ingredients.
Oh well, let's just forget about that and just try and enjoy this
Okay, here it is. Look at this.
Why is it so tasty?
I don't know.
But it's just really really good
I don't know what it is about the flavor though
But beef jerky, like the bag smells like...
Smells like...
You know... a butthole
And I know this because when i've been on tour in the US
And i've stocked up on beef jerky, and I had it in my bunk
You know, my bunk...
Started to smell like asshole. So I take them out.
Don't eat these by the way
Not healthy
Ok? Put them back.
But I have one question regarding beef jerky
This is great, this is a solid 6 out of 10 no doubt.
My question is... Why is it so expensive?
Why is it so expensive?
I know, these are imported
They're just way more expensive than normal, but they're even expensive in the US
Why?
I want to know
To be honest I don't really care why, I'll still buy it anyway, but there you go
Thank you, Ola Tasting Shit.
Ola unboxing, unboxing, unboxing
Thank you
Today we're doing an unboxing, why I'm holding the box like this is because... okay, thank you.
Reason why I hold the box like this is because it says on the sides of this box what it is and what it contains
So I'm gonna open it like this
But i'm really excited about this box because it contains something that I'm gonna use
On tour probably
Just saying
So... cable
Power cable, very important
A letter that says Ola on it. That's very personal, shit.
Okay
You get a sticker, stickers are great.
Have you figured out what it is yet? No?
Ok...
Alright, here it comes
I think you guys know what it is
It is indeed the new Fractal FM3 pedal right there, look at that
And this one has the headphone output
So, ever since Fractal announced this FM3
which is basically the Axe FX3 in a small little box
Not as powerful as the big Axe FX obviously, but you know, more than enough
Ever since they announced this
I've been really excited to try it out to see if I could switch out my AX8 pedal that I have
And that i've been using for the past years
With The Haunted for instance, when we were on tour with The Haunted
Which is basically like this big, a little bigger
Probably like 50% bigger than this pedal right here.
I was really excited to get this, it's even smaller, it's probably more than I need
And I can't wait to try it out, I'm gonna make a video of this
But I probably have to make a really really awesome and in-depth video about what I think about this
Because this is probably going to be something that I'm going to use when I play live
I just much more enjoy Fractal audio products
And no i'm not sponsored, that's one of my things, I'm not sponsored by anyone other than myself
And maybe Raid Shadow Legends, the game that keeps f***ing you over with your bullshit money
It's probably a malware and you know, no one cares in the... World of Tanks, yes
You know, I always kind of preferred how the reaction feels
When you plug into a Fractal unit compared to like the other modelers for instance
I've always felt like that it was more responsive in a way
While with some modelers you get an input lag basically
Because you have analog to digital conversion and all that.
You know, there's gonna be some lag
But with the Axe FX stuff, I haven't really felt that lag.
So i'm really really excited to try this out.
And it's actually a little bit bigger than I thought it would be
But it's still very small, It's just a little chunky, I can feel it, I can feel the weight
And if it's just as good as the AX8...
This is gonna be something i'm gonna use a lot
So i'm really looking forward to trying this out. Thank you.
Chuggo, what's your favorite modeler?
Well, obviously I don't like the Axe FX because you're using it.
I like to use the Kemper, because then I can profile my penis going straight into your eye socket
You know Chuggo, I think you have a problem, just saying
And by me saying you have a problem...
That means that I have a problem
Alright, I want to check in on the progress of Louise working her ass off
Because of you guys.
- How's it going?
- Hi, it's good.
- Are you packing?
- Yes, this is so far today's packing.
But I have quite a lot of...
Remember when there was a lot of vinyl standing here?
- Yeah
- There's less now at least
- And here, all of the Sun ones
- Oh, yeah, yeah
These are the ones left, so you need to sign more
I need to sign more, I need to work more I guess
But as you can see we have a couple left
- Yep
- So there's always... you can always still buy more
And also what the hell is this?
Sun and the Moon vinyl, why the hell we have so many?
Maybe you can buy one of those as well from the Ola Englund website
- Shit, I didn't know we had that many left
- No, but they're not that many in each case.
How many? There's 40 in each.
Yeah, this is like, you know, 1 2 3 4 5 6...
7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16...
There's more over there
What? Oh, 17, 18, 19, 20
Times 40. So that's...
What?
1, 2... so it's more than... it's more than 800 basically
Great
F***ing hell
Yep
- Just buy it.
- Maybe I ordered a little bit too many, just saying
Ok, let's just do this... if you order a Sun and Moon single...
One of these
Go to the website and buy one of these...
It's already signed... Shit, I've already signed everything. I mean, I don't have any leverage.
Like, how how can we make people buy this?
I kiss every one of them? You kiss every one of them.
Okay, so if you order uh a Sun and the Moon single...
You know, I have 800 of them and if you buy one I'll have Louise and me kiss on them
Isn't that a really good leverage? And sign them obviously, or maybe Louise should sign.
We should make Louise work a little bit more
Okay, so it's gonna be signed by both Louise and Ola, how about that?
- Okay
- She doesn't care
Let's just make her work, ok?
So, if you purchase the Sun and the Moon single...
Both me and Louise will both kiss it and sign it
F***ing hell... these are rough times man, just saying
But yeah, thank you so much for all the support regarding the vinyls, I mean...
We've been selling a shit ton of Feared vinyls and we broke even
So that's... that makes me really happy
So from now on if someone buys anything we can go out and eat
So that's... that's good
But yeah, okay, I'm not gonna disturb you anymore
Just continue do your work and i'll just continue do my filming
So the all time legend Keith is back on youtube finally
Finally, he uploaded an FAQ
Where I asked him a question and in that FAQ he answered my question
And with that answer he also gave me a question
What was the question? Let's see
Now that i'm thinking about I actually have a question for Ola
So we're going to ask him right now
Ola
How come I've never seen a PRS Archon amp on your channel, question mark
You need one
comma it rules
Exclamation point, exclamation point, poop emoji.
That's a great question, thank you Keith
The reason why I haven't demoed a PRS Archon
It's basically for the simple reason that I don't know anyone that owns one
I've tried the Archon in Belgium once
It's a great amplifier
You know, the process of me demoing something is either that...
You know, I know someone that owns an amplifier that I can borrow
Or someone sends something to me.
I've played the PRS MT 15
And that's because I have a friend that owns one
I'd love to spend some time with the PRS Archon if I have the chance someday
But with that answer and this little beef jerk in my mouth
I'm going to ask you a question Keith, because now that you're back
We want to see you continue pump out that content
So let's just keep this going man. I'll ask you a question, maybe you'll ask me one more time. Who knows?
Okay, I have a question for you
I know you're using the Kemper when you're out doing clinics and all that.
How does it compare to the Axe FX in your opinion?
What makes it better than the Axe FX?
That's a great question, thank you
And then we have normal people questions, ok
KNOTFACE: "Tjosan Ola, what is your favorite toy from childhood?" Yes.
Thank you. Thank you Knotan, then I can talk about my toys.
So, the absolute first toy that I had or like toy series that I played with was He-Man
You know, the He-Man figurines
And you know, I had Castle Grayskull and you know the evil... what was it? Like the snake...
Snake castle? Was that the name? Snake castle, the evil castle.
And I had a fair bunch of figurines and you know...
That was my first love for toys right there
He-Man was amazing and then I had Transformers
Robots in disguise
I still have a couple of my Transformers left, I have one of them from the first generation
And a couple of the second generation
And I still have them somewhere. They're worth money, I know that.
What else did we have? Ninja Turtles, Micro Machines...
Videogames
A shit ton of videogames
But for toys Lego obviously and stuff like that
But He-Man, Master of the Universe
Right?
Gandalf The Grey: "Ola, if you had to choose between a Randall Satan 50 or a Fortin Sigil
"Which one would it be in 2020?"
Thank you so much for that beautiful question
I think I would have to go with something in between to be honest
The difference here between the Fortin Sigil and the Randall Satan 50 is that the Randall Satan 50
has all the full-size components in it
Like the transformer and the choke
The same transformers and chokes as in the 120 watt amplifier
The output section is just as crazy as on the big amplifier head
2 6L6s and all that
With the Fortin Sigil... it's smaller, you know, it's a smaller amplifier, 20 watt
It's still really really kick-ass sounding but I think I would probably like something in between maybe
You know, if I could get a Satan amplifier in the smaller package of a Sigil
That would be really really cool.
Great
That was the last question guys, hope you enjoyed this short little video of mine
I'll put a link in the description for where to buy The Sun and The Moon single... there.
And if you buy them, you know, I promise I will kiss them
And Louise and I will sign them if you want to
Otherwise... thank you so much for watching guys. I really appreciate you, I see you guys' comments.
You guys are amazing, truly truly supportive human beings
I love you guys
See you next time, ok? Thank you for watching.
