Not only is Keith an awesome musician, but he's an awesome dude. I got in touch with him on a guitar forum a few years back and got to meet him and Jeff Loomis after their set, opening for Animals as Leaders. He signed the backplate for my KM-7 (mk1) and I got a pic with them. He was mad chill and really appreciative of the fan support.

That's super funny that Keith writes songs in his head. I write the same way, and when other bands or players complimented something I wrote and asked how I came up with it they seemed surprised like they had never heard of such a thing. I seriously would just hear/imagine riffs in my head, expand and arrange them into structured songs, and when I would sit down to actually play them they always seemed to be played and sounded the way I imagined them in my head.

This was fantastic, best Coffee With Ola so far. While I echo the sentiment of wanting Keith to upload more, I also respect and admire his ethos of trying to hold himself to a standard. That comes across in all of his work and makes it somehow mean more. As you said Ola, when Keith uploads a video, you stop what you're doing or you wait until you have the time to sit and watch it properly and that's pretty powerful.

Hey Keith and Ola, thanks for the interview, really enjoyed listening to your discussion. As I was listening to you explain your approaches when looking for inspiration (while cooped up), wondered if you tried picking an event/story in history that resonates with you that you can express through music. For example, musicians of history would write pieces of music for patrons (e.g.kings) who wanted a "soundtrack" for large historical events. All the best!

Honestly, I've never been a huge signature model person but between Ola with Solar (I have a lefty 6 and 7 string) and Keith's Mark III model (just got it a couple days ago), they have hands down the most ergonomic, smooth, instruments to play. When I pick them up, they truly inspire me to play. Pair them with either the Peavey Invective and/or the Satan 50 (stereo rig) and your tone is so heavy you can melt the face of God.
