Ola Englund ..ola get "vogg from DECAPITATED"! "Machine-Head"..for coffee!! vogg is the best metal riff guitar player today's time!! amazing talent!!😈😈😈🔥🔥
Thx Ola... I requested.this a few weeks ago and never heard from you... but, I guess you did.. This guy is a monstrous guitarist.. Thx. My G series with Evertune Solar is amazing and, Frederik should use it
He's really laid back and easy to talk to. I had the honor of chatting with him at a record store signing while the rest of the band rummaged through LPs.
but then it wouldn't be this free anymore, be it for the topic, or the way it is presented. it'll be driven solely what the audience would want. no more freedom for Ola, I guess?
Fredrik is so good at widdly-woo playing. What a badass. One of my favorite things about modern Opeth is that when Fredrik and Mikael trade solos - their styles really come out and you can always tell who is playing which one. They are a great pair.
I actually get very confused as to who plays which solo at the end of Burden. I know Mikael is good, but there are some passages that I'm sure are Fred's but then the next solo is equally as complex and I wonder if that one was actually Fred.
This rules so hard. Thanks so much for posting. Agree about Åkesson being hugely underrated. Might be in the minority amongst the metal fans but I love the direction Opeth has taken since Heritage. Been a fan since My Arms Your Hearse but I love that they're doing what they love. ⚡
32:50: This reaction is exactly why Fredrik is IMO one of the most interesting players of this generation. The guy has his Yngwie and Blackmore repertoire but mixes it up with really cool sounding fusion-y passages that don't disrupt the overall melodic direction of his solos.
Absolutely loved this interview. Bringing Fredrik here was something huge. Loved to know that Ola was once a student of Fredrik. So Ola had to be a freaking good player. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Just saw Opeth live a little more than a month ago. New songs were great live. Also, all the records at the show were signed by the band for normal price. Shows how much they appreciate their fans.
I’ve all the time in the world for Frederick. Not only is he a genuinely cool guy, but he’s an excellent and hugely underrated guitarist, which for me is really frustrating. Fred deserves much more credit than he gets. You rule Frederick!! Thanks for this Ola!🤘🏻😎💯
It is to his credit that Opeth is an amazing band. Obviously singer being the architect, but that by no means takes away from the contributing musicians. I am grateful that a younger friend of mine pointed me in this direction to check them out, I was reluctant to want to listen to new things, and boy was I a proven fool. I am happy they are not strictly METAL in the stereotypical sense, you know by the numbers, chug, chug, chug. I like every period of their career that I have heard so far.
@@gaukarmadhouse That's another masterpiece of an album from them. I feel like it transports you back to the Middle Ages. My personal favorite track is Serenity Painted Death but there's not a single bad one.
You definitely have one of the best shows in TH-cam and ALL the internet, your guests feels authentics and comfortable talking with you they are just themselves and that's is very inspiring THANKS A LOT OLA!!!
OMG, coffee with Fredrik. Amaaaazing. Thanks, and yes, he's an amazing but underrated guitarist and musician. You kind of have to be an amazing and talented musician to play in Opeth. ;)
I wish it was at least an hour long! Frederik just got into the groove! Please, Ola, this is a great series, but make it longer :-) (that's what she said as well)
Whoa!!! Such an insanely gifted musician, the guy is dangerous!! Insane phrasing, full of feel and personality!! You can spot right from the start that this is a very talented musician that has also worked and practiced very hard! Such fine quality in his playing!!
Heyyyyy... I just made coffee! Perfect time for this upload. Get my morning coffee and morning practice session in. Then listen to master of the universe while I shower for the day. Excellent timing.
@@Doomchild2XL All the funny noises that would have to be added in editing to bleep out the swear words. Probably the only person who swears more than Ozzy. :D
@@Doomchild2XL Did he quit? Good for him, I remember seeing a video of him working out and heavily drinking beer while doing so. That did not look healthy..
Awesome coffee chat with Fredrik! This guy has had his hands in soooo many cookie-jars, and kicked ass in all of them. Way underrated guy who has carried so many bands it's ridiculous! Hey Fredrik after all those kind words, do I get a cookie now? :D
Discovering Opeth for the first time was one of my life's joys and highlights. I actually started listening when Heritage was released. Although I haven't really enjoyed Sorceress or ICV I still appreciate the talent that Fred possesses. Possibly one of my favourite guitarists. His bends and vibrato are out of this world.
I met Fredrik at a meet and greet right after the release of watershed, when he had quit Arch Enemy and joined Opeth and Itold him: I knew you'd be a great addition to Opeth since I saw you play with Arch Enemy and you were great. (not knowing what a guitar legend he already was) His genuine reply was: Oh thank you, that means a lot to me! What a class act!
I'm going to see Fredrik and the rest of the Opeth crew on Tuesday in London! It's so awesome to watch this interview just before the gig! Thanks for making this happen!
Loved the interview! This is a great exemple of a guitar player that can shred the fuck out of a guitar, but uses his talent to do AMAZING melodic and creative stuff. I love Opeth, and he made me love it even more.
@@Meshuggapeth thank you for posting Secrets of the Unkown by Fredrik Thordendal! I ve been trying to transcribe it cause i just cant find tabs anywhere on the internet. I love Fredrik thordendal's stuff and it would be great to see him on coffee with ola.
@Dylan Powell I downloaded some EOS and Moontower back in the days of Napster. Liked it, but never dug further. Hypocrisy piqued my interest when they toured with Soilwork in 05. Tagtgren had a great song on Nuclear Blast All Stars and the fact that he's working with Lindemann shows he's a really creative, diverse dude. Gotta bump those guys to the top of my listening list.
I could never do this I am intimidated by big celebrities I would probably have a nervous breakdown. What a legend. Even I am getting old. Watershed solos are not of this planet.
Such an enjoyable CWO! Two really down to earth guys just kicking back and talking music. No ego at all. Love it. I had the pleasure of filling in a couple of times as his tech when my old band toured with Opeth. He was just the same then, really pleasant, positive and he showed me how to play Hope Leaves. I showed him how to play Bleed 😂 My favourite CWO so far dude, nice work!
Frederick is the man. Brilliant guitar player. His solo on lovelorn crime on the new opeth record is one of my favorite solos ever. Shot straight up towards the top when I heard it. I’d like to hear him write some of his own songs after playing with akerfeldt. Best coffee with episode yet.
Yes, I've been waiting for this!! Btw you should ask Teemu Mäntysaari of Wintersun to your show, he's probably the best contemporary metal guitarist in Finland.
Hey Opeth, I just want to say I really enjoy the 'new Opeth' music. I feel grateful to live in a time when these kinds of developments are happening in music. Jazz, classic rock and death metal, so good.
@@charlcoetzee93 their previous albums (before 2008) are lauded as some of the best albums in the genre. Saying it's subjective is just a copout. It's like saying St. Anger is the best Metallica album when their discography from the 80s exist.
@@seananderson5334 their new work is a different genre, and it sounds like you just aren't a fan of that. Which is allowed, but that isn't a valid critique on the music itself.
@@charlcoetzee93 music being a different genre does not exclude or remove it from criticism. And I disagree with their music being a different genre. One of the things that made Opeth so good was their ability to mix and execute genres so well, hence their prog status.

amazing guest, really liked this guy! Also, liked that he would've sat there and taught ola a new 4 hour lesson. I hope he comes back and do he lesson thing maybe.

OMG Yes plz love Gojira almost as much as I love Opeth lol
Fredrik is such an underrated guitarist. He shows his chops in his solos, doesn't go over the top nuts but shit what a phenomenal guitarist!
1:18 he has his guitar pick ready in his pocket, waiting for a random guitar to be handed over to him 🙂
Loved it.
you're not a real guitarist if you don't have one. :D
That’s pretty common in guitar players
I have one in my phone case at all times. You never know man
jeez, a newbie
Fredrik seems like a genuinely nice guy. He definitely has a different and pure energy to him.
He's really laid back and easy to talk to. I had the honor of chatting with him at a record store signing while the rest of the band rummaged through LPs.
This is the talk show metal heads need! Netflix needs to pick this up and make it a series.🤘
It would get views! Especially with the metal community and introducing people to the metal culture. Do it!
Netflix would ruin it
but then it wouldn't be this free anymore, be it for the topic, or the way it is presented. it'll be driven solely what the audience would want. no more freedom for Ola, I guess?
But it's right here.. on TH-cam...
Netflix would cast a black Ola
Fredrik is so good at widdly-woo playing. What a badass.
One of my favorite things about modern Opeth is that when Fredrik and Mikael trade solos - their styles really come out and you can always tell who is playing which one. They are a great pair.

Ola complimenting Fredick on his fluidity and vibrato when he himself, has amazing fluidity and vibrato.
@Sam Gowman 😉
hard to do. i sound very choppy
That is called “ Respect and admiration” among musicians.
Watershed is my favorite opeth album and this dude ripped some of the most beautiful melodic solos of all time on there.
The organ music in the background is hilarious.
By far this is the best interview because of the mini lesson

Fredrik is the type of player I could watch jamming alone for hours without getting tired of it
Me too!!!
So grateful for this interview. Akesson is possibly my favorite metal guitar player of all time. Really humble musician too
The future is now; two Swedes talking to each other in English
The future is Olapeth

How do you measure credit? A guitarist will never be bigger or more famous than the band. Very rarely, anyway.
It is to his credit that Opeth is an amazing band. Obviously singer being the architect, but that by no means takes away from the contributing musicians. I am grateful that a younger friend of mine pointed me in this direction to check them out, I was reluctant to want to listen to new things, and boy was I a proven fool.

Frederick 😄
Coffee with Ihsahn!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
A thousand billion times yes.
I love his guitar playing technique, so fluid.
Didn't expect that, wacthed the video immediately, totally worth it.
Fredrik: *says something*
Ola: yeah
Ola, I can't thank you enough for recommending Opeth and Blackwater Park last year and now you drop this, just amazing!
If you haven’t already, you should check out their album Still Life. The second track “Godhead’s Lament“ is a masterpiece.
@@gaukarmadhouse I did listen to everything and my favourite from Still Life is Face of Melinda.
@@gaukarmadhouse That's another masterpiece of an album from them. I feel like it transports you back to the Middle Ages. My personal favorite track is Serenity Painted Death but there's not a single bad one.

Yes!!! Such an underrated player. Incredible tasty solos and riffs.
We just need the prog father, akerfeldt himself.
And Dan Swano!
Both ♥️
Godfather Åkerfeldt
Prog son?
Prog father is john petrucci budy
Im very honored to have caught Fredriks pick in an opeth concert, the best pick in my collection of concert picks
I saw him during an Arch Enemy tour. One of the best live solo I heard.
This is my favorite TH-cam channel especially because of interviews like this.
OMG, coffee with Fredrik. Amaaaazing. Thanks, and yes, he's an amazing but underrated guitarist and musician. You kind of have to be an amazing and talented musician to play in Opeth. ;)
I love this video so much! Watched it many times…. And the reason I tracked down a Fredrik PRS SE. WHEN IS THE COFFEE WITH Mikael???
I remember meeting Fredrik for an instore signing with Arch Enemy. I was amazing getting to meet him.
What an absolutely excellent interview. I can't get enough of this!
I wish it was at least an hour long! Frederik just got into the groove! Please, Ola, this is a great series, but make it longer :-) (that's what she said as well)
Jag är 56 år! 2021 är första gången som jag hör opeth ,Snacka om okommersiellt band.Att lyssna på opeths låtar är en rikrig resa🤘 En grym grupp .
I had a beer with Fredrik at Guitar Summit in Mannheim. He's such a nice, humble person. Respect!!
Whoa!!! Such an insanely gifted musician, the guy is dangerous!! Insane phrasing, full of feel and personality!! You can spot right from the start that this is a very talented musician that has also worked and practiced very hard! Such fine quality in his playing!!
AWESOME
I love Opeth and Fredrik is such a good guitarist
Thank you Ola! It's funny you released the video today, in exactly one week I'll see Opeth live in Dublin, Ireland! Can't wait!
Talisman stuff was really top notch. Such an underrated band.

This was amazing! Thank you Ola, thank you Frederik.
What a great guy! So respectful of Ola's time and him having kids. Pure class gentlemen metalhead.
Awesome. So much respect for Fredrik. Really cool that you could have him on.
What a humble guy. Phenomenal musician too. Great stuff Ola.
Not only incredible player but also great teacher ! I watch this interview third time...
This guy is a guitar savant for real. I have the utmost respect for him and all of the members of Opeth.
Nice to finally here Fredrik speak.
He's an amazing player.
Could listen to him soloing for days.
He's showing him licks at the end. I'm dying! So jealous.
Such a great guitar player! Very underrated
Awesome player and super nice guy. I met him after a gig once and he was so chill and friendly
Two words - “Lovelorn Crime” 👏👏👏

Unbelievable guitarist, and like you said, wildly underrated!!!
Appreciate Frederick’s playing and influence on Opeth’s jazzier output as of late.
I wish Fredrik had his own channel teaching badass licks. He has so many good ones.
He needs to teach me his vibrato haha. Also those solos on the "making of sorceress" video where suuuuper tasty
Loved the interview! This is a great exemple of a guitar player that can shred the fuck out of a guitar, but uses his talent to do AMAZING melodic and creative stuff. I love Opeth, and he made me love it even more.
I've been trying to learn his Cusp of Eternity solo for some time. Damn good solo

Seconded !
Definitely need coffee with Peter Tägtgren

That new album is so freaking bad ass!
That awkward clap at the beginning though lol
Just saw Opeth in Perth, Aus last night. It's crazy to see in person just how amazing he is
Great episode. Ola knocks it out of the park! There should be a late night show like this for musicians. Thanks OLA You Kick ASS. \M/
I could never do this I am intimidated by big celebrities I would probably have a nervous breakdown. What a legend. Even I am getting old. Watershed solos are not of this planet.

A very guitarist thing to do 😂

THX Ola
Thanks for saving my day Ola.
Fredrick is super cool and inspiring! Love Coffee with Ola, you always pick great guests! 🤘🤘🤘
Definitely the best video content i have seen on youtube the entire week. Two awesomely genuine musicains. Phenomenol interview 😎🤩🔥👍👍
This one just completely surprised me. So glad this happened. Great choice Ola.
topp 10 metal guitar player in the world and a great guy
So modest and underrated
Nice seeing an interview with a different member of the band for once. Now to find something like this with the bassist.
The harmonic dissonance trick really reminds me of Testament's Electric Crown. Cool stuff.
I agree with you, this guy is so underrated. Now i know his influences and everything got sense. Great interview by the Way!
Super cool to see Ola get all fanboy in this video :-)
