@joesatchton212 4 жыл бұрын

Indeed, welcome to the club! Excellent first guitar! I only wish my own first guitar decades ago was so good :D Cheers and enjoy the journey - it's a never-ending ride that you will cherish forever. Only one piece of advice if I man, well actually two: - Don't give up! You WILL be frustrated with guitar, just as with anything else you decide to try your hand at. But stick with it! - Make your own mind up on gear, tone, effects, pedals, music, whatever....Everyone has opinions and they're all valid most of the time. But at the end, the only opinion that truly matters is your own. You like what you like. Learn from other's opinions and experiences but with music and gear, there is absolutely no single voice of god - there is no single playbook to follow. If it sounds good to you and it feels good to you, that's all you need. :) The guitar community on youtube and online is generally great but make no mistake - there are many highly opinionated people out there as well as "traditionalist" folks that are incredibly resistant to change and make it their life's work to convert people to their way of thinking. Ignore them and follow your own path. Cheers again and welcome to the ride of your life.

I‘m really enjoying them a lot and I‘m mostly having a few good laughs throughout the show. In my opinion it‘s really good entertainment. So thank you for taking your time making these videos. I‘m looking forward to enjoying the new Sunday format. Take care, stay save! Peace out! Daniel, Hamburg.

Personally I have never been a huge fan of FAQ from any channel but appreciate the service it offers to others. Unsure how well commentary on current events will fit into a music related channel but again I can see that it will provide colour & a different aspect to the content. Discussion on new music would be most welcome. Lastly, it is YOUR CHANNEL Ola, do what you feel works best for you dude!

@jessecovey1778 4 жыл бұрын

Ola, I remember every payday in the 2000's... I'd go to FYE, buy 3 or 4 cd's. I've bought countless cd's from them. Tons of Napalm Death, Iced Earth, Nevermore, Arch Enemy, Cathedral, Black Sabbath, Megadeth... I bought Slayer's God Hates Us All there on 9/11. I also bought music through Columbia House, including Ozzy, Judas Priest's, Kiss and Sepultura's entire catalogues. It's such a shame that the album format is gone, because FYE used to be a magical place for me.

I'm glad you're not going anywhere Ola. Love your videos and personality. Referring to the best critique or advice you ever got about your guitar playing. Last July, I layed down three all Lead Guitar Instrumental Tracks in my Producers Studio, I've known my Producer for over 19 years, he's like a brother to me. Anyway, I asked him how he'd define my lead guitar tone, and he said, "I don't think it can be defined, you've got so many different influences, and they are all present in your playing". So, for me, that was the greatest critique I ever received on my lead guitar playing. Take Care Ola.🤘🏻✌🏻

@akumakami9727 4 жыл бұрын

Practice makes perfect as they say :). Even though I'm 31 and have been playing guitar off/on since I was 5, I still struggle with simple things like bends, alternate picking, certain pacings, pick control (especially since my hands get quite sweaty), pinch harmonics, finger picking, things like that. So most of the time a hour after i get up I'll sit on my loveseat and work on those aspects and doing different exercises from 20-30 mins (possibly a hour since I play left and right handed). Then when I get home I usually will spend 15-30 mins doing scales and sweeping patterns. Sometimes I'll take breaks here and there, or change it up abit so I don't get bored and feel burned out :).

Tube Head for Metal - try the Peavey Valveking. Its cheap on the used market for about 200€ and as a distortion i would go for the Boss MT-2 BUT as a boost, distortion very low just to add a bit of metal and you have an eq with it too. I had some Boutique Amps and Pedals, from a cheapo 30 bucks pedal up to a P-Melter and tube amps from the Orange toiny dark up to Framus Dragon handwired point to point modded. Valveking with MT-2 for about 270ish € is absolutely great.

I've just finished modding a cheap guitar but people think I'm mad because I spent nearly the amount it cost on parts. It's now uniquely my own "custom" guitar and proud of it. Should I have listened to people and just spent double the amount on a better factory guitar?

Dearest Ola, Just wanted to share a Dimebag story. I was in my early 20's, working at a pizza place in Seattle, WA when we got news that Dimebag was murdered. Now, almost all of the cooks there were huge Pantera fans so we all played the Pantera albums we had on us (back when people still carried cd's on them). Vulgar Display of Power was what I played. We must have played four or five albums in a row. Well, a customer finally complained, saying "it sounds like someone is being tortured." We politely explained why we were playing that kind of music (the torture kind) and the customer looked horrified, saying simply "oh," and then left.
