Seriously? Theses guys are some of the nicest, talented musicians in the metal world today and half the people on here are bashing them because of the way they speak and look....Seriously???
Yeah, how dare those guys speaking english as a second language have accents! Guaranteed all the people bashing them for their english only speak one language, probably poorly.
Such kickass guitarists, they're not comparing on who's better than who they're just the type of team work guys, they really seem down to earth guys, I would love to meet them🔥🔥🤘🤘
these guys are awesome. They dont "try" to hard anything. They go out on stage and play and kick some ass. Then have fun after the shows with their fans. I got both their picks from the 2 shows i went to and gladly they signed them. I even had a few drinks with them.
To GW: great friggin' choice! THIS is the formula to success. Fresh faces that are talented and explain things in a clear, precise way. I truly got something I can use the first time I watched it. Like having Alexi and Roope showing BloodDrunk. Excellent.
Hahahaha I love the way they just talk about random stuff . They look so nervous hahha I guess that the interviewers were like : '' Introduce yourself tell us a bit about yourself '' and they got all nervous and started talking about random things without making any sense haha lol reminded me of myself when I was younger xD ( they play really good though )
almost, standard on a 7 string is BEADGBE, B standard on a six string is BEADF#B, to account for the different interval between (if you're in E standard tuning) the g and b strings
i'm not sure i've heard a guitar tone as good as Amon Amarth's sound in a lot of years. mixing a classic guitar with a modern high gain head obviously works well, especially for this sort of band. having the natural aggression from the explorer pickups would give them the perfect swedish death metal tone.
@Valcarion well, after watching some of the bands vids i have to say the have chops. their style of playing isn't very complicated, doesn't really have that initial wow factor but it is damn solid. i mean, twilight of the thunder god is sick. simple, but sick
very interesting. I know not something about music, but it seemed, for me , that the brown haurs one was only a supporter. They had played it together, I didn't understood anything, and now I like amon amarth more than before
@Carnifex11100 it's not always about who plays more (or difficult) solos. I think, it's more about who contributes the most. Olavi pretty much wrote all songs up until the Oden Album. Johan S. started contributing starting the Twlilight. But Johan S. also writes kick ass songs like Live For the Kill.
@RandomGuitarist96 the sweeds learn English from a very early age, they have a lot of British media on their TV networks and it's just subbed or dubbed.
@Thekingofthecrux Aye. It's the same principle used in the blues. It doesn't matter how much you say, or how intricately wordy you say it, but what you say, and the feeling we get from you saying it. Amon Amarth fits that perfectly. Simple, but sick.
This is how you can differentiate between a European musician and a musician from the United States. Being polite and speaking with respect does not stop you from being a metalhead.
I like the brutal honesty. Typical Amon Amarth song. While I didn't find the last album (Surtur Rising) as good or new in any way, I like the fact that they admit to the typical factor as well.
When he says a standard explorer does that mean its a 25.5" scale? It seems a little weird since they play so detuned. Maybe that's why they play such thick strings?
awesome!! thank you Guitar World for give this lesson!! Next time if you would, please bring Alexi Laiho of CoB or Abbath of Immortal!! They are both good guitarist...
Yea I agree. I love Amon Amarth and BVB isn't really my preference of music. I just think people should stop bashing other bands just cause its not in their taste. No one is forcing anyone to listen to music they don't like.
"ello aime uh labi mikonam" "un ime yooan sarderbary" "und eh.. we are on amart" "un we guna shuw yoo haw to pley sum ur new soms from deh.. sur.. albem.. frour neew elbuhm surter riesng"
* B standard. There is a big difference between dropped and standard tuning. I don't know why they don't use 7's, maybe because they think they would never use all the strings.

@@TheOriginalCFA1979 Oh, boo-hoo. 🤷♂️

Рот не заткнёшь ни кому,хрен с ними
i love how humble they are... awesome guys. glad i had the opportunity to meet them.
Saw them live. Killer show.. these guys are amazing, great sound.

I love these guys and the whole band! I truly appreciate them for taking the time to do this video.

Johan was really cool when I met him. really nice guy!
3:13 when you're trying hard not to laugh in a serious situation
Words, and speaking are not for vikings
+Németh Ádám only runes
They are also pretty impressive at burning churches
Or for people whose first language isn't English.
@@nemethadam8125 Funny how'd they never touch a single mosque or synagogue. 🙄

Olavi has his pickup selector taped in place. Looks like the center position, which is both pickups on. That gives him a much wider tone for chords.
I love coming from sweden and being able to be proud of awesome guys like these :)
Toki and skiwsgaar
Just came here from a black veil brides guitar lesson for some reason. But anyway amon amarth has HEALED my ears!!!
Hahahaha I love the way they just talk about random stuff .

+lio nik yes i like the way they natually explainthe song :D very focused and nervous :D
haha yeah.
no
Gerald Wayne why ?
You'd be nervous too if English wasn't your native language. All things considered, I think they did okay.
These guys just broke the down to earth world record.
3:13 dat grin on his face though.
aww he's having fun :D
man, i love their explorers, looks amazing
I love these guys and their music! MORE MORE MORE
Their sound in this video is awesome actually.
I love how they keep it the way amorth amarth typical sound lovely
almost, standard on a 7 string is BEADGBE, B standard on a six string is BEADF#B, to account for the different interval between (if you're in E standard tuning) the g and b strings
Put these dudes on a set of Game of Thrones, they'll blend in immediately.
Idk about the others but vocalist Johan Hegg was cast in a movie (Northmen: A Viking Saga)
i'm not sure i've heard a guitar tone as good as Amon Amarth's sound in a lot of years. mixing a classic guitar with a modern high gain head obviously works well, especially for this sort of band. having the natural aggression from the explorer pickups would give them the perfect swedish death metal tone.
I want Olavi Mikkonen guitar sooooo badly!
D'addario. I've never tried them but so many bands love them for detuning and big gauges.
They are techically from a few different countries in the same area that was originally called Scandinavia.
Never! You wish you could be as awesome as Amon Amarth
@IhasMetal the rest of it is on their website
Sooooooooooooooooo GENERIC!!
this is badass to the max. they even have viking names
@Valcarion well, after watching some of the bands vids i have to say the have chops. their style of playing isn't very complicated, doesn't really have that initial wow factor but it is damn solid. i mean, twilight of the thunder god is sick. simple, but sick

killer song, check out the other two parts of the video.
@deathcore1239 They don't use their own amps at Guitar World. They use whatever they have set up for their interviews and lessons
so godlike... AMON AMARTH !! I LOVE YOU !!!
That whole intro is just so awkward hahaha I love these guys.
i love those guys!! it's like Skwissgarr and Toki!!!!!
@CobrazVeNoMx is "pursuit of the vikings"

Sometimes simple is best. I really like this it's catchy
the Guitar World website, search Amon Amarth, will be in a list of links.
@filippandkevin I think its so that the neck PU isnt enganged accidentally. It looks like its taped to the bride PU. Just my theory.
@gibsonfan3
Certainly agree. Their tutorial is good and playing is tight as a whip, as usual.
@MRMOOD3 u've really gotta check them out live. Believe me, they kick ass.
@RandomGuitarist96 the sweeds learn English from a very early age, they have a lot of British media on their TV networks and it's just subbed or dubbed.
@DrEviscerator666
Olavi Mikkonen (most likely finnish) and Johan Söderberg (swedish)
Sounds Nice ^^ i like your guitars
And we are Amon Amarth :)

I like how olavi just looks really sad as well xD
Thank you Dethklok!
great band they are.
very cool!
I wonder if they are going to start using the baritone explorers now that they are out, or the 7 strings?
@taila1976 most deff. drop b, b-e-a-d-f#-b from 6th string to 1st string
@spartan934 yes but listen to how he phrased it, 'a guy called Aibrush Studios'
We show you how to play songs from te suralbum, our new euh album surtur rising
I like the brutal honesty. Typical Amon Amarth song. While I didn't find the last album (Surtur Rising) as good or new in any way, I like the fact that they admit to the typical factor as well.

awesome!! thank you Guitar World for give this lesson!! Next time if you would, please bring Alexi Laiho of CoB or Abbath of Immortal!! They are both good guitarist...
this guys make the real deal of viking metal
Yea I agree. I love Amon Amarth and BVB isn't really my preference of music. I just think people should stop bashing other bands just cause its not in their taste. No one is forcing anyone to listen to music they don't like.
@IhasMetal because they have a lesson of pursuit of vikings too! xD
electric guitar, piano & bass guitar with Joey DeMaio ... these r the fucking best instruments ever invented :)
lesson starts at 2:33
"It was made by a guy in Stockholm called "Airbrushed Studio Stockholm"" :P
Lmfao
Standard Gibson Explorer, so 1x 500T Humbucker and 1x 496R Humbucker
These guys are what Brendon Small must have modeled the Swedish metal guys on Metalocalypse after! Toki and Skwisgaar would be proud.
amazing guitars..........
@Gnartrand i listen to both amon amarth AND black veil brides, dont hate
3.08 Do you reallize the guy behind is still playing while the music stop??
Finally! A good band!
@mokadesx They cut the sound for the video to get to the next part, there`s nothing weird there.
@SplashOfVomit pretty much!
Their guitars are amazing, want xD
Why these people just criticize these guys on how they speak, they just did an awesome guitar lesson
Cool gonna try learn this
oz punk how's the learning going?
Not so good not right frame mood being surgery in 3 days
even though they have a real muddy sound, I still love it
I love amon amarth!
thats so epic riff
"ello aime uh labi mikonam"
"un ime yooan sarderbary"
"und eh.. we are on amart"
"un we guna shuw yoo haw to pley sum ur new soms from deh.. sur.. albem.. frour neew elbuhm surter riesng"
Olavi is so fucking awesome
I regonize from olavis voice that hes finish, and he got an badass shirt! King Diamond yeaah!
@NoPancakeMix54 True, instead axes and shields they use guitars and drums now. :)
@ArseLoad0fMetal666 he said airbrush studios STOCKHOLM, as in the company where he got it done
this band makes my life complete -.-
Underbar!! Ja har en Gibson Explorer :-) When you guys will play in Motreal
@zbarneyz He said "Stockholm" instead of "dot com" ;)
Part 2?
@Carnifex11100 yeah, i've seen bunch of live version of Roope's solo, and I couldn't seem to figure out why the solo sounded so different......
I LOVE THIS EXPLORER VIKING DRAGON GUITAR, MY GOD, I NEED IT!!!
* B standard. There is a big difference between dropped and standard tuning.
I don't know why they don't use 7's, maybe because they think they would never use all the strings.
yeee 5150 awsome love these guys.
How many gods do i have to fight to get Söderberg's Gibson Explorer? Somebody please tell me!!!
Love how these dudes play in a metal band yet still be kind and shy...
olavi's guitar is awesome
Ever heard "War of the Gods" by Billy Paul?
They are very cool guys but why does Ola have black tape on the tip where the pick-selector is located :p
