Great
Those vocals...
...were amazing
What's up everyone? And welcome to Sunday with Ola 66.
You know, the intro I just made there...
I recorded those drums
It's the first time I use my drumkit to record drums for Sunday with Ola
And I actually didn't quantize them too much
Let's just say that, I...
I tried to keep it natural
So now, this week, if you join the Sunday with Ola Riff Challenge
You're playing with my drums, man, my real drums
I was recording that in the other room
How cool is that? Holy shit.
A new era to Sunday with Ola
Oh shit
I just remembered I didn't have any shoes on
This next segment is very important uh...
It's very important I have my shoes on
Guys and gals, hope you have a great Sunday morning right here
We have a couple of things to talk about
Yesterday, Solar Guitars opened up the annual Black Sabbath sale
That's going on for a week... what?
You can get like up to 40% off on a Solar guitar from the website
From yesterday until like a week or so
Incredible... on selected models, not everything, OK?
Up to 40% on selected models
We kicked off yesterday and it's going on for a week
How about that? Go to the Solar Guitars website right now.
And you can find those guitars that are up to 40%
Or 15, or 20, or 30 even
Don't miss out on a great deal, OK?
Awesome
We're gonna start with the news today
And we're starting with...
Bill Kelliher shares first glimpse of new double-cut ESP signature model
in promo for STL ToneHub Pack, OK
So, STL has released a Bill Kelliher ToneHub thing
For Kemper... ToneHub and Kemper
And he's showing off a new signature guitar
So that's what we're gonna check out today
I'm really into Mastodon right now, I'm listening currently to the new album
Uh... Hushed and Grim, and...
It's amazing, let me just say that
In the next Metal Morning I'm doing my review of that album
Today we're checking out the new...
...signature guitar, look at that
What is that?
It's like... sort of 'SG' thing?
Right there... hello?
OK, they say it's an Eclipse double-cut, OK
So it's basically the Eclipse, which is a single-cut
But... you know... 2 cuts
Is that a good look, really?
Is that a good look?
What do you guys think?
I still haven't decided... is it a good look or not?
I haven't tried this pack or anything like that
I'm just interested in the guitar, OK?
That's the news, he showed...
You know, a little piece of... look
There it is
It's secret
And it hasn't been announced yet, but it will probably be very soon, let's just say that
OK
Let's listen
- [video] with the tones... - I don't know
- [video] Preparing them to lay golden records... - Is it...
Is it resembling a little bit the Adam Jones Gibson Les Paul with the color there?
You know, the silver... silver with a black burst on it, maybe a little bit
Does it look cool?
I'm not...
...very big fan of the shape, but I know a lot of people out there, you know...
...dig the SG shape and this old...
Has those Solar scoops almost, you know?
That's the new guitar
Next up we have a new Korn single
Ooh I like that
Are those stacks or Rectifiers back there?
Great choice
Damn
Look at that, that's...
That's a really great promo for Mesa Boogie right there, let's just say that
I think that's my new thing, 'let's just say that'
I mean, I've been saying it way too much just to...
You know, it's fillers...
Filler talk, basically
But I just feel like I've said so much lately
Let's just say that
I read somewhere that Jonathan Davis said that...
Recording this new album...
...was the best experience he's ever had recording an album, so...
Maybe we're in for a treat, let's just say that
I mean, I haven't listened too much to the later Korn material, I...
I listened to Korn from the first album to up, like...
Was it Follow the Leader? And maybe a little bit to Issues.
I haven't really been following them since
I enjoy this song
And I actually cannot wait to hear more, I really dig this song
Hopefully it will be more of this style
Because I really dig this, just saying
With that, there is also a new Code Orange song
Code Orange is also one of the... you know...
More modern bands that I've actually listened a little bit extra to
Uh... why is that? Well...
I kinda dug what they were doing
You know, sounded a little bit new metal
But with a modern touch and a little...
They're just a little different sounding
And they have a new single 'Out For Blood'
There's Max Portnoy in this video
Max Portnoy, Mike's... Mike Portnoy's son
He started playing with Code Orange
I don't know what it is about this band, but I really... I just really dig it
Awesome
I'm gonna...
I like it so much, I'm gonna like this video right there, look at that
And... you can also 'Ogilla'
'Ogilla' that's basically short for 'Godzilla'
No, that's the dislike button right there
I'm not sure you heard about youtube removing the dislike button
It hasn't removed the dislike button, it's still there
It's just that you can't see how many dislikes are on the video
You know, when I first heard about this I was like 'Oh, you know'...
I don't really give a shit about how many people...
...are disliking my videos, or you know that...
People are seeing how many dislikes are on my video
Then I saw a video with Linus Tech Tips and he said like, you know...
If you can't see the dislike button...
You can't really see the dislike and like ratio on a video
Which means that...
You know, if you start googling for something, like...
'How to eat a banana', for instance
You know, I really wanna know how to eat a banana
And usually when I go click on a video...
I kinda wanna see the like to dislike ratio
Because then I know if I should spend my time watching the video or not
So, this seems to have a lot of likes
And... she...
She is showing how to eat a banana, that's correct, but...
This will be a problem, think like if a movie trailer is out
And like... OK, new Spiderman movie trailer
And someone just uploads some bullshit, and calls it...
'Spiderman movie new trailer'
If it hides the dislikes...
You won't see the ratio of that video, and...
That will confuse people, it will bury the good content in a way, so...
It's gonna be really interesting seeing how youtube fixes this
First I thought 'Ah, who really gives a shit', but now that...
You know, you think a little bit more about it as a youtuber
I know this for a fact myself, when I start googling for something
That uh... you know, I checked the ratio
Between like and dislike, to see if it's a video I'm gonna... you know...
If I search for something, or a tutorial
Then I know for a fact that it's a video that will probably help me
Or if it's not gonna help me, but...
Now I can't really see, because I can't see how many dislikes this video has, this...
This video could have like 1 million dislikes, and I wouldn't be able to know
So... just a little side-note right there
And you know, as restrictions have been lifted
And people and bands are heading out to play live again
A video surfaced of Phil Anselmo and The Illegals playing live
They're doing this Vulgar Display Of Power tour, which I think is cool
I mean, a lot of people would probably argue, you know 'Oh...' you know...
'This is bullshit, they're...'
'They're shitting on Dimebag's and Vinnie's graves' and whatnot
But they're still doing it as Phil Anselmo and The Illegals
They're doing this Vulgar Display of Pantera tribute thing
That's what it is, man, it's just a tribute, and it's Phil on vocals
It... I would definitely pay to go watch this
Sounds good from this video right here
And Stephen right here, he's playing a Solar too, just... just saying
This sounds pretty f***ing good, I would pay for this
Are they coming to Stockholm in Sweden?
OK, there is... Ok, they're not coming to Sweden
Anyways...
That was the news, everyone
Adventures with Ola, I figured I would make a little...
...short update on what's been happening in the office lately, I mean, this room...
Not really much has happened
I just recorded a demo here
And I'm starting to get back into making gear videos and demos, so...
Not much happening in here
But out here, we moved our arcade to here
I'm gonna explain why
We also moved the couch and a little bit of things here
So we have like a center... center spot
This is also gonna change, but...
We needed to bring out this couch out of the chill room
Because they're gonna replace the windows here soon
So right now in this room...
It's just this
There's not really much here, we got my drumkit
And that setup going
Let me see if I can...
...demo this real quick
But I'm trying out the new Gojira drums
And they sound absolutely amazing
This didn't work
Uh... trying to get that to work, I'm still working on the hi-hat
And the problem I have right now in Kontakt is that
The hi-hat sounds closed when it's supposed to be open
And then when I press the pedal
It becomes open, so it's reversed somehow
So yeah, they're gonna replace the windows here, that's just...
They're doing it for the whole building, and that was planned since long time ago
So we have to... you know, move shit away from the windows, so they can do that
But we also have this now, which is our new dining table
Where we can sit and eat, it's lovely
Yeah, a little bit more furniture just to be able to sit and chill a little bit here in the...
In the 'oficina'
Here's our printer room now
So we got the T-Shirt printer and heat press right here
And uh...
I know Fredrik has been doing these
This new batch of VIP cups
For the youtube members
So this will be like a dedicated room for that, we have...
Stock T-Shirts, so we can start to print...
...merch
It's really exciting, we're starting slow obviously
But the biggest thing for me today
is that I'm gonna film in this room for the first time
I haven't used this room at all
We've been using it for taking pictures
And the intern was taking pictures of the guitars here
I haven't used this room...
...for anything else, just... other than storing
So, I've set it up right here, I'm gonna make a Will It Chug?
Right here, a little bit later today, so...
The cool thing here is that, you know, I can...
If I want to I can kinda switch it up a little bit with some different contrasts
Around this little setup right here, but I...
I think, personally, my favorite one is just this
Just so...
It just looks really nice
But as of right now, I'm just showing you this stuff
So, this is the first time I'm trying out the mobile rig as well
I had this Element in my rack at the desk before
But I broke it up and put it into this rolling rack, so...
...Have a little more of a mobile rig
So this is the first time I'm setting up this whole place
I'm kinda routing the microphones and whatnot
I'm also gonna connect the stereo microphone, so I can record this rig
This is the rig I'm doing right now
Will It Chug?
With the Silver Jubilee
Pretty certain it will chug
This looks exactly the same as before
Just a bunch of boxes
And my setup corner right here looks like shit
That's OK
So this room that previously was...
...all empty and had a lot of boxes in it
Now only has the new Solar guitars in it
So we go in here and... you know, if it's...
I think one of these have been...
Yeah, these are done already, we've already launched these
And then we have a couple over here that are still to...
We're still gonna launch at some point
As soon as we've taken pictures and...
...Stuff like that, so we're just storing the guitars in here
At the moment, and then the intern can take pictures and Louise can take pictures
Got these lockers too
Just like in school
You know?
So there you go, a little office update for you
I think we're doing a pretty good job, we're setting in quite nicely
And that, my friends, was Adventures with Ola, have a nice day
Sunday with Ola Riff Challenge
You can download my drums, and these are in fact my drums
I'm playing those drums, I'm so proud about that
That's the first...
Probably the first thing I wrote on a drumkit right there
At least the drum parts
And you can download those riffs, and you can be a part of Sunday with Ola Riff Challenge
Uh... challenge...
We're gonna check out the contributions from last week and we're starting with...
Balazs666
I think I've had this guy before
Nice
He's wearing a Hatesphere T-Shirt
Great band
Oh
Yeah, that's cool, very Slayerish
Dig it
That is Swedish death metal
Melodeath part
Yeah man, that was great
That was Balazs666
Then we have thecavedman
What Schecter is that? That looks like a special Schecter.
Look at that star as an inlay, what is that?
Tell me what... what is this Schecter?
I dig this, very Opeth sounding
Dude, that is so cool
That was really f***ing cool
thecavedman, well done
Last but not least we have Aidan_Dissonance
Oh shit, that's...
Switching camera angles pretty quick there
Listen to that bass tone
That is f***ing cool
Dude...
You guys are amazing
Yeah, baby
That was cool
Oh, I smell...
Dog farts, my fave
That was Sunday with Ola Riff Challenge
If you wanna be a part of this next week
Upload to youtube, post it in the Reddit channel
And I might see you next time, how about that?
So, I came across...
Or someone actually recommended me checking out a video
Called 'The backward picking technique'
If you feel like you wanna hear some Australian guy...
...speak, it's a good video to check out, but no
It's actually a guy who made a complete video
Regarding the backwards picking technique
You know, it's fun because...
I consider myself having a backward technique, you know?
He's saying that my style of picking technique...
...is pretty good for gospel
You know, for me I...
A lot of guitar teachers have been saying that I hold the guitar pick wrong
When I play guitar
Because I'm basically anchoring the uh...
The thumb right here
And then I play on the back side of the guitar pick
While regular guitar players, they play more like this
Where they play on the front side of the guitar pick
I play on the back side
It was pretty interesting finding this video, because I didn't think it was...
I never knew that there was like a broad amount of players that...
That were playing like this
Yeah, that's true, he's also using that technique
It's not very common that you see people use it
But the problem with it is that you kinda angle your hand backwards also, so...
It becomes a problem when you're using a strap
But you know, you have to be metal and cool, because...
The further down you wanna have the strap...
The more like... you have to come in from underneath with the hand
As you can see he's coming...
They're coming from underneath in a way
So it's a problem when you wear a strap
I had no idea that Shawn Lane played like this
And to hear that all these amazing guitar players are using the same technique as me
Uh... makes me really happy actually
Sometimes I've been like, you know, thinking of changing picking technique
Because people have told me how wrong it is
And you know, I kinda feel my own limitations
Oh sh- Cory Wong, what?
What?
Holy shit, OK
That gives me a little bit of confidence, let's just say that
Not that I would switch anyways, you know, I'm too old to switch
Right now I'm learning drums, I don't care about guitar playing
Uh... no, but...
It was just a little... I thought it was a very interesting video
Because I...
I rarely hear people talk about the backwards picking technique
Anyways, I...
I just wanted to recommend this video
It might be worth looking into
I'll put a link in the description of this video, thank you
And that, my friends, was Sunday with Ola...
For today
Oh this is the most tired dog ever, hello
Alright everyone, thank you so much
That was Sunday with Ola number 66 for you right there
Hope you enjoyed it and I hope you're having a great Sunday so far
Or Monday, or Tuesday, or whenever you're watching this
