I swear I'm so impressed with Ola, truly inspirational this man. You've matured so well. Man you are doing very good. Humble and confident. Keep rocking or metaling.
Ola is my favorite interviewer of all time . This was such a good interview, usually when I see tosin interviewed something about it seems forced.. not here, seems like they are just having a fun time. Awesome to see
One of my favorite qualities in people is the ability to be humble when you could very easily be tempted otherwise. This is one of the reasons I love Tosin so much. So incredibly skilled yet so incredibly humble!
This was by far the best "Coffee with Ola". I love Tosin. He seems like such a nice, genuine guy... Not to mention he's a total genius. And I can't wait for Misha's episode. You rock Ola. I've been following your channel since the very beginning and it's nice to see you getting the recognition you deserve from such big names in the industry.
Wow! That's the most relaxed I've ever seen Ola Englund!!! I could see Ola and Abasi collaborating together as they have good chemistry and seem to be on the same wavelength with each other.
@John P Yeah, I kinda see where you're coming from. But as far as I know, each brand has their own hardware design patented. And I think the Strandbergs are more targeted to optimal ergonomics, while the Steinbergers aim for portability.
I fell down a rabbithole with the Abasi design - led me back to like the Reb Beach shark fin cutaway model, things like that - and many, many, MANY extended range, etc basses. At some point it's pretty hard to grab that bottom string with the thumb and up there I am getting ready to shave down the lower horn on the terror twins damn baby guitars...who makes a guitar with a
*Just scrolling through youtube* man, there's nothing much going on today *scrolls* ohey a coffee wi...HOLY SHIT TOSIN ABASI *Curb stomps the play button*
I think that the reason for Ola's success is that while he prepares some questions, he lets his guests direct the interview, and only interjects when necessary. This allows for a perfect flow, he also asks the right questions because he knows the gear. I have been watching his channel since the first video and seeing his success is just great. We need more people like this in the music industry, as a matter of fact, I believe this is the future of the music industry.
I witness a historical event in real time even before it’s written dudes! I call it « when two words collided » But more than anything else I can tell you how Important it is for me to see real businessmen sharing their knowledge and accomplishments to their faithful followers and friends as well, I most say. Love ❤️ you guys!
I've never seen Tosin so comfortable and lively during an interview before! Most of his gear rundowns and such that I've seen online, he usually seems almost a little indifferent to who he's talking to/what he's discussing? That could just be me, but either way he seems like he genuinely enjoyed speaking to, and even just hanging out with Ola. Great vid from two of my favourite musicians! Looking forward to Coffee With Misha!
This was like the best interview Ola has done so far! It's awesome to see an artist interview with someone else who is exactly own their level. So many 'interviews' have a host that just doesn't get it.
14:40 Look at the neck of the guitar in the background. I get a cool optical illusion with the fanned frets and the dots. Makes it look like its paper thin and completly twisted. :)
I really appreciate how just joyful you are to hang out and talk with these guys. It's infectious and produces great conversation. I'm so happy you started this series.
one of the most influental guitar palyers of our time. if you dont know Tosin Abasi, then sit back and start here! He is one of the reasons i aquired my schecter 8 string
I am not a huge fan of the progressive new sounds. But I am also not an asshole and an idiot (at least in this instance ) ,what he is doing is not my bag, but I can hear how amazingly talented and innovating he is. I always told myself that when I become the old guy in rock music, I'm not going to shit on the new thing coming up, I'm going to support it and be excited for the new players. Tosin is a mind blower, I last about 3 minutes and then I'm smoked. Taking the guitar into such interesting evolutionary places, it might end up something other than the guitar as we know it. Fun show, great interview.
Ola my last band opened up for you in six feet under in Charlotte north Carolina. One of the greatest nights of my life. Anyway please do all you can to keep coffee with ola running. The guitar playing community needs this. Thank you guys do much for all you have done for youtube and for guitar playing in general. And stellar guitars Tosin. Im sure the riffs you have for the new album are the equivalent of 10 albums i could manage to write. Thanks guys.
Tosin comes across as quite genuine and a chill dude. The chemistry between you two made the video enjoyable. Just two mates hanging out. Still blows me away how far you've come Ola. Long way from the first amp tests with a laptop, ear buds, and sitting on your lounge room couch.
I forgot that Tosin used to have a Swedish girlfriend. Being Norwegian, I understand most Swedish, and hearing Tosin talk dirty in a Scandinavian language cracked me up big time.
Great video, guys! Tosin is such an innovative thinker! Ola also blew my mind with his business oriented thinking! You guys inspire many people out there... Keep going!
Ola, this is so far the best Coffee With Ola. Just becouse u were just sitting like 2 friends and talking. Not like journalist kind of stuff. Luv ur vids.
Lol, I was just laughing because this video as is has 130 likes and is 26 minutes but has only been up for 10 minutes. That means every like was done before the video was finished
Very impressed with the direction this series is going. Nice to see two people with the experience, knowledge, and vision talk about the state of the guitar industry, especially when, speaking for myself, a viewer may have a very limited understanding of its inner workings. 👍🏼
I feel like a total chump... I took my shoes off, whipped up a pot of coffee and started Coffee with Ola and then I'm the only one drinking coffee. This is worst than being picked last for kickball 😖
Tosin its the Fucking awesome best guitarist in the planet and also of course its a great inspiration for the life at the music. BEAUTIFUL INTERVIEW Ola. Esta poca madre
One of the guutarist of "The Helix Nebula" fucking amazing band. Simon Grove is the bass player of them. One of the most well produced albums I've ever heard too.
Tosin is such a great guy, and amazing guitarist. You're getting better at interviewing Ola, that's great ;) Thank you for the amazing content you put out Ola !!!
Tosin is a legend. Just picked up an 8-string Jackson last week, actually. First extended range guitar I've ever owned in almost 20 years playing music!
Coffee with Tosin Abasi! Absolute pleasure to sit down with him and talk about his work. SUBSCRIBE!
Ola Englund hey prince arthas with beard ! Play some grunge
Ola you have such cool guests with you, why don't you let them play a little guitar and you can talk about their techniques.
That was a great interview. He is such an amazing performer.
I'm late for the vid. Goddamn notifications
Great to watch Maestro Abasi in your talk show, thanks Maestro Ola. Please, invite Maestro Malmsteen
I am going to watch this
Mee too
me too
@@Farvann yes he did
Mee too men, i watching in México
go ahead roduri
Tosin dresses like a 1980's body builder from the future.
tosin dresses like mc hammer but sometimes he cosplay Demolition Man´s Simon phoenix
did you type that comment before reading it
@@binglebop5877 How does one NOT "type" something before "reading" it? Lamest burn attempt ever.

80's from the future. Actually a cool concept. Wow.
Ah yes, my favourite Black Metal guitarist.
when you act like rocky george doesn’t exist
Best pun i've read.
ahhhhh….I see what you did there. :-) 2 thumbs up.
Why haven't I thought of this joke before
It took a few seconds, but it made me laugh XD
Damn! Was NOT expecting a shout-out ! Much love guys
Your ep is going to make you blow up.
love your solo on away
Yea dude you're a legend. You're gonna be a household name amongst guitar heroes soon bro.
Killer videos dude! You are a phenomenal shredder!
We love you Stephen!

Video is +26 minutes

Nobody has finished this video before liking it.
Why would you finish it before hitting a like? It's Ola and Tosin!😻
It's Ola and Tosin, it has an extremely high probability of being good.
I liked your comment BEFORE i finished reading it, ahead of the curve
When you know it's going to be good, you can hit like right away. I mean, there's absolutely no way this could've been bad!
@Johnny Tightlips A ten hour shit is definitely video worthy. That's gotta be a world record.
I want one of those guitars but I feel like it would raise peoples expectations of my playing way too high. :)
Use it as a catalyst to improve
They look super cool but I can't justify the price D':
just get way too high and then play
it's just you and your guitar....don't worry what others think! just enjoy!
That will motivate you to lock yourself in your room and practice with your awesome new Abasi guitar
I swear I'm so impressed with Ola, truly inspirational this man. You've matured so well. Man you are doing very good. Humble and confident. Keep rocking or metaling.
He can be so serous and funny at the sametime ,this interviews is the most favorite episode by far
Ola is my favorite interviewer of all time . This was such a good interview, usually when I see tosin interviewed something about it seems forced.. not here, seems like they are just having a fun time. Awesome to see
@@MrDmadness when the interviewee is in the same business and knows his shit and is genuinely interested it shows
I agree. I like how he let's the guitarist talk and explain things without interrupting or being annoying. Awesome job👍👍
#metalistruth
Tosin: "wanna' hold it?"
Ola: "Ooh shit yah!"
Love these dudes 🤘
A Brief Sample of Ola
11:00 "Right"
11:04 "Mhm"
11:07 "Yeah"
11:14 "Right"

One of my favorite qualities in people is the ability to be humble when you could very easily be tempted otherwise. This is one of the reasons I love Tosin so much. So incredibly skilled yet so incredibly humble!
OLA's As Leaders
@Agnaye Ochani The Woven Ola
@Agnaye Ochani Pizza Abashi (felt like changing it up haha)
def close to animals as leaders
Happy birthday bower
I dig the ABBA shirt so much. Real metalheads listen to ABBA lol 😂
Tosin ABBAsi.
@Jesus is Dog : TO SIN is TO DIE
its really an Abbath shirt that was misprinted....true story
he really liked the time ghost covered ABBA
Plus, Ola is Swedish. You can’t be a Swede and not love ABBA!
ABBA means ABbasi in this case!
"We should stop."
No, you should not. The concept "Ola and Tosin saying vulgar things in Swedish" almost deserves a channel of it's own.
i'm a bit late, but can we get a translation?
@@stevetorster "Du har en snopp" = "You have a dick".
"Mycket stor" means very big.
The guest list is popping off! Per nilsson, mattias eklundh, jeff loomis, and tosin abasi. Savage!
@@OmniscientVirtuosity At least he doesn't call himself "Omniscient Virtuosity". lol
@@OmniscientVirtuosity I like progressive metal. It's not really the same thing as insinuating you're a god-like genius. =)
@@OmniscientVirtuosity Whatever floats your brick. ^^
This was by far the best "Coffee with Ola". I love Tosin. He seems like such a nice, genuine guy... Not to mention he's a total genius. And I can't wait for Misha's episode. You rock Ola. I've been following your channel since the very beginning and it's nice to see you getting the recognition you deserve from such big names in the industry.
Me: I'm going to sleep.
Ola: I'm interviewing Tosin.
Me: I'm not going to sleep.
Perfect afternoon coffee!!!
damn you're stalking my channel Jen! First two videos in a row! :D
would be nice to see Jen with coffee with Ola
Brandy this morning.
Jen, you rule!!!

Coffee with Ola - Misha Mansoor confirmed?
I've never seen you so starstruck, ola! Blushing!
yes
It's the wine
Give the plebs what they want.
Coffee with Yngwie!
@@drumdadio i dont think anyone wants yngwie
Up until today I had never seen Tosin so relaxed and joyful in an interview, you bring the best out of people man, awesome job!
They're both super chill people and got a lot in common, and also a lot of differences in perspective to discuss. I love this
Tosin is really down to earth & intelligent. Another excellent interview Ola.
This channel just keeps getting better and better
Wow! That's the most relaxed I've ever seen Ola Englund!!! I could see Ola and Abasi collaborating together as they have good chemistry and seem to be on the same wavelength with each other.
These guitars look really weird, but also very comfortable to play. They have that cool classical-position body cutaway like the Strandbergs.
@@KahruSuomiPerkele Me too, kind of. But I personally prefer the look of the Strandbergs.
@@Protonaut Strandbergs are sick but I think my next futuristic guitar will be tha Abasi.
@John P Yeah, I kinda see where you're coming from. But as far as I know, each brand has their own hardware design patented. And I think the Strandbergs are more targeted to optimal ergonomics, while the Steinbergers aim for portability.
I fell down a rabbithole with the Abasi design - led me back to like the Reb Beach shark fin cutaway model, things like that - and many, many, MANY extended range, etc basses.

It sounds great but damn, that's one of the ugliest things i've ever seen hahaha
Man... Tosin as well as Ola are so articulated! Very intelligent people in a very collegiate and professional conversation!
21:28 for italians only ;)
il fatto che christianice guardi ola mi ha illuminato la giornata
CHRISTIAN AITTT, GUAI A TEEEEEEEEEE
Fica, lol
*Just scrolling through youtube*
man, there's nothing much going on today
*scrolls*
ohey a coffee wi...HOLY SHIT TOSIN ABASI
*Curb stomps the play button*
Yeah right. My thoughts exactly. Came home from a shit day at work and that all changed instantly.
I had to apologize to my keyboard for getting mashy with it
I elbow dropped mine off the couch and I'm not even familiar with animals as leaders.
Tosin is the best. You guys have great chemistry and should do a regular thing. That would be awesome.
By far one of the best interviews I've seen with Tosin.
*GROVER JACKSON'S BUILDING THOSE?!*
*I'M SOLD.*
Tosin's a class act. Killer music, killer technique, killer melodic sense, killer songwriting. One of my favorite modern players for sure!

With just a splash of coca-cOLA.

It kind of looks like a Les Paul after eating 20 hits of acid
Or if a les Paul had an overweight emo child
Hahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahhaha

It's OLA the secret keeperer. Nice surprise!
And you're secretely Hitman ;)

Abasi and Solar guitars are two examples of badass modern guitars
Tosin AND Ola sitting and talking... I can now die happy!!!!!!
I'd love to see Matt Heafy do an interview with Ola
@KD6-3.7 elitist alert?
@frenchfuck Trivium's old stuff was pretty good to me. Their last couple albums..... Not so great.

this comment aged well
Party on, Dudes.
Little did you know haha
My screen cannot handle the cool and suave handsomeness of Tosin and the rugged manly sexiness of Ola. Metal's never looked so good.
Yeah, I like Ibanez S series as well.
This is golden! I wish this was an hour long interview. Ola asks very good questions and Tosin is Tosin 🎸
Hell yeah !!! Perfect timing, I am drinking my coffee right now and this pops up, amazing :D

One of the guutarist of "The Helix Nebula" fucking amazing band.
Simon Grove is the bass player of them.
One of the most well produced albums I've ever heard too.
What a sweet interview, thank you Ola!
3:44 *where is the solar baritone v? Ola?*
OMG....I can't wait for their next album. It's going to be insane!!!!!!!!
Have never clicked on a video so fast.
Met him on an Ibanez guitar festival and doing his master class session. Incredible musician.
"Mm-hm"
"Yeah"
"Right"
"Yes"
"Exactly"

Great interview!
I actually just got a coffee shop!
Seeing you guys chat about the industry is refreshing and inspiring. The desire to make music is just growing more and more!

Me too
His name is Stephen Taranto
Thx
Tosin is such a great guy, and amazing guitarist. You're getting better at interviewing Ola, that's great ;) Thank you for the amazing content you put out Ola !!!
Great interview.
Btw Pathos is indeed a Greek word and means Passion.
Your work, bringing new brands, new specs, better prices, you really are benefiting all audience by putting bigger offer out there, it's great
I like there is no censorship is so uppfriskande
Great player, Tosin is really awesome. Thanks
Tarantino has a quote in Death Proof.. something like “Chatruse- the only alcohol good enough they had to name a color after it..”

That's where I heard that word from! Been trying to remember. Yeah from the scene where everybody taking shots at the table.
Tosin is such a nice guy. Great interview.
Waiting for "COFFEE WITH OLA - Jake Bowen" to make him get Solar.
Tosin is a legend. Just picked up an 8-string Jackson last week, actually. First extended range guitar I've ever owned in almost 20 years playing music!
