You are a lucky dude Ola. You have a beautiful wife, a great band, your own guitar company. Damn, I guess that hard work really does pay off. As far as your kids go, just throw down a few bags of kid food down on the floor and they will be all good!

This is still my number one favorite Ola video of all time. It has everything: shredding, comedy, travel woes, pink eye, bed time with the wife, meeting your idol, more shredding, snow, and buying off your children's affection after an absence.
@dougcook7507 6 жыл бұрын
Ola, you are such an awesome person. You are so humble and respectful, this video really shows this. I have to say, I am very jealous that you got to ride with one of the two guitarists that I have liked for such a long time, the other being Alex Skolnick. Your UV is pretty much priceless now, glad you got to get it autographed.

I have had the good fortune to meet Steve on 2 occasions, and he signed my Ibanez rg4ex1 both times (he even took a minute to admire it's paint job) He's such a gracious artist! I thought he would be arrogant, but he was truly humble.

Very cool you got to finally hang with Steve. Its really something when you get to meet an idol, or one of the inspirations in your life.... congrats Ola...The festival looked fun. The guitars looked amazing, from what I could see. I'm struggling with trying to decide between an Ibanez and a Schecter myself right now....so I was hoping to see more guitars.. but seeing you, your wife experiencing something this cool, was a pleasure. Thanks for tagging us along my friend.....

That was a cool experience and to have the man sign your guitar even better. Music brings people together having it in our lives brings positive things. I’m a drummer but I love guitars and own some nice ones, since I have started studying guitar it has opened up the guitar god doors and man there some people out there with the gift Steve Vai being one of them.

That makes me remember meeting the great Martin Barre of Jethro Tull in Istanbul in 1991 at the backstage after the concert. I was 17 then and I didnt have my guitar with me to get signed but he was kind enough to sign some photos and let me take a look at his beautiful Tom Anderson that he played on the stage that night and let me even hold it and strum a few chords with it. While I was leaving I asked hım if I could keep the pick and he said sure. That was an amazing moment for me as a 17 year old young guy who was trying to learn to play the guitar. Good old memories. That was like 30 years ago, I'm 47 now.😉
