Trying out the Gretsch GM Streamliner in WILL IT CHUG? Why? I have no fucking idea...
Because why not
i have a gretch g5235t amongst my ibanez collection and yes it chugz
Greetings from Nashville and holy hell you made that one chug for sure, totally impressed on that combo guess I need to check out the Kraken and the Gretsch.
Can you try chugging on a Fuzz Face or a Big Muff??
Just because 😎🤘
You could make a wet newspaper chug....
That guitar actually sounds insanely good for metal. My dad tried to tell me that Gretches were good all for everything and I refused to believe him. I can honestly say I agree now
Hollow bodies can be quite bassy which is really nice for certain applications
Chris Cornell used Gretsches early on.
Semi Hollow and Hollowbodies can definitely do chugs, metal and even djent. Theyre much more better than Single Coils strat in heavier stuffs.
my dad said the same thing and i bought one thinking i'd have to buy another guitar for metal. needless to say it fucking ripps
Yeah hollow body guitars are underrated for metal, they sound amazing
Country Yentleman...next solar model, orange semi hollow with an evertune and binding
No aaaactually, i kinda want it to be real...
I was thinking “I feel like he says ‘djent’ correctly, so how the fuck is this a thing?”
@@mikewifak Sometimes Ola slips in some swedish pronounciation.
And Floyd Rose 😂
Country Djentleman? I know, I can hear your groans, that’s horrible.
Chet Atkins is a fuckin’ legend. *Ola’s dad fistbump*
Next up in will it chug: a random brick found on the road
Answer is yes if he plays it
@@NickDTHSLYR he can literally make anything chug, even a piece of wet cardboard
@@Fragments_Ov_Shattered_Malice_ everyone knows wet cardboard is easy to chug because it has presence. Dry cardboard is the real challenge.
if it has hambuckers is doable XD
Classy gentlemen can chug too.
Filtertrons are some of the most underrated pickups imo.
Filter trons are great these are Broad trons in this guitar though
I have similar Gretsch Streamliner. The Broad’Tron pickups can get muddy but are great at right eq. Got mine used for $300, highly recommended.
Yeah man. I've got a 6122 that is super versatile in tone and easy to play
@@AAmm-uv9gm awesome! Check out some of my videos, use my Gretsch all the time.
I fuggin love how filtertrons chug. I have a corvette 2008 reissue with supertrons, the equivalent. Sound coming out of a Gretsch is so legit!
Basically Ola can make anything chug. A brick. A stick. A pan. ANYTHING
So true Ola can make almost anything Chug 💯
his newborn!
A ukulele
Brocken glass, a dead cat, etc....
Made my day😄 its true tho 🤘
I play gretsch for many years now, it never disappoints.
WILL IT CHUG - ACOUSTIC ELECTRIC 12 STRING INTO BOSS METAL ZONE FT. KORG MIKU
The most annoying feedback the world has ever heard.
I say go for it!
Lmfao
The resonance on this is insane. Such a nice, unique tone. Now I need one for my collection, thanks ola. My bank account is crying.
It actually saves me some money lol.
Okay, the clean stuff towards the end really blew my mind. Mr. Ola knows a lot more than he lets on.
All pros do, all real musicians have respect for all genre's even if it ain't their thing. Cause there's always stuff you need to pull from to improve as an artist.
I have a Gretsch Jet Club from 2019 -- single cut shape, low-end humbuckers. It's well built and good looking and holds tune like a champ. I love it.
Best will it chug so far according to me. I also really appreciate how this guitar encourages you to play differently at the end, your little groovy impro was really refreshing. Good job Ola from Sweden.
That is actually on Ola's first solo album... Solar pt. 1 if I recall correctly. A killer bass line to go with it too
Gretsch guitars are just heaven. And I CANNOT BELIEVE how good it sounds for playing metal. However its own classic look ends up giving a weird vibe. Well at the end of the day it doesn't matter if it really sounds good.
After I've seen Carcass guitarist play Les Paul Jr., with a single P-90, I've stopped being concerned with "weird vibes".
@@JeanMarceaux there's lots of metal guitar players who use Les Pauls for a reason. The answer is the humbuckers which are helpful to chug. My first and only guitar is a cheap Encore E99 sunburst, but any guitar can chug with the right amp, settings and tuning.
@@nicolauferreira3448 P-90 is a single coil pickup.
2:59 Tom Morello has joined in chat
Dead af
more like buckethead
when actually it was EVH who originally did that back in 1978, when Tom Morello was just 14 & Buckethead was 9

One of my guitarist buddies got a Streamliner, in exactly that blue.
I absolutely love it.
I'm showing this to my guitar buddies next time they say that you cant play metal on a Gretsch.
hollow bodies just have a very non-metal look, like pulling up to a tuner meet in a chevy bel-air
I have an acoustic with Fishmans that chugs like hell! lol!
Your buddies have never seen one of the old solid body Gretsches... I've got a tk-300 and the overwound pickups + super heavy body sound wicked
@@f67739 Malcolm in the Back in Black video is the most rock'n'roll thing ever. And Nugent was hollow body forever. Not metal maybe... but the attitude is what makes the metal.
Dude, you can make an acoustic guitar chug if you try hard enough.
Just listen to "Los" by Rammstein. That song kills.
Holy shit. As a beginner who has this guitar, this made my day :D
Whatd you pay for it if you don't mind me asking? It's absolutely beautiful
@@midnight_melancholy Think I paid 480€ for it brand new from Thomann.
I paid$180. For mine at pawn shop.
Great guitar!
@@midnight_melancholy I paid $950 AUD lmao, I love this thing. For comparison a generic epiphone LP standard cost about $1000 here.
I think every guitar player should own at least 1 Gretsch, they are fantastic. Not my main axe for sure but it easily one of my favorites to play. The overtones and resonance these things produce is *chefs kiss* and the natural unintended feedback on top of it all? Ugh it’s soo good.
DAngelico same effect both Fender.
Sounds really good....love how every string is clear and just sings...!!!!....good day to you Ola...!!!
I’ve got a gretsch guitar and I was surprised by how versatile it is. You can play just about anything you want on it and it will still sound good. Definitely my new favourite guitar.
Next episode: can ola chug a 1.5L of beer?
He looks like he could fuckin destroy a glass of beer
the ola belch after 1.5L of beer might split the world in half
This video made me smile ear to ear. That thing sounds so sick when you’re shredding it !!!
OLA!!! Ola England music needs to be on every streaming service out there. I asked Alexa to play Ola Englund music and she doesn't know you exist. What!? We need your solo work to be available everywhere.
The band Killing Joke is a good example of hollow-body chug
I love the demo of ‘Timewave’ on the singles collection... such a savage tone!
I was reading about this guitar and got the interest itch and thought, man I wonder if anyone has been crazy enough to run this thing through a high gain amp….and of course Ola had it covered haha
The BEST tone I've ever heard from you! Great guitar and works so well with your rig!
Framing, lighting and cable management are 👌🏻. Your setting and video skills are matching your chugging skills !
When I bought this exact guitar (same colour even) a year ago I fell in love with its clean tones. It was only after that I really got into metal, but I'm glad to see my pride and joy guitar holds up to the Englund standard of metal tones and that my own experience is not, in fact, flawed. Wonderful surprise.
Yes, the middle position sounds amazing on clean amp. These streamliner guitars have a good reputation online anyway.
Why does this video make me feel so old???
🤣
Btw,
*#VapeOn*
who cares
because Gretsch
me too... long time since I played a Gretsch.. 35 years Im guessing 🎸 Got to love it though
Loved the acoustics at the end ! What a beauty !
I'm loving the sweetest old school death metal band dismembered t-shirt that you're wearing
I love the semi hollow sound for heavy tones. There's something about how it handles mids... I think? I don't actually have the vocabulary to explain why I like it so much, but it's absolutely my jam.
I find it even crazier with P90s... Not a traditional tight metal tone, but it's a unique sound for heavier music and I think these genres could use a tonal shake up!
Great video!
I have similar Gretsch Streamliner. The Broad’Tron pickups can get muddy but sound great at right eq. Got mine used for $300 US, highly recommended.
I use it all the time in my originals.
Very glad to see you digging a Grestche 👏
Watching Ola play jazz reminds me that Alex Skolnick is a jazz fiend too. Love it Ola.
I remember seeing a band called ted maul playing a covan benefit gig in london and the guitarist used a gretch when they did a cover of spheres of madness
Streamliner lineup are amaaaazing guitars for the money!
I bought that guitar after have been watching this video. Believe me, it sounds EVEN heavier with different high gain amps along with an octave fuzz pedal. It has character, thanks to those pickups. The dynamics of rhythm metal guitars are finally back, by going old school!
Wow you were starting to play guitar the year I was born... awesome
I play one of these in Drop A. It's great.
I bet!👍
Really a great looking guitar... Sounds good too, even for a genre it obviously wasn't designed for.
Ola thank you for the story about your Dad taking you to the Chet Atkins fair! That was an awesome story! we know for sure that hollow bodies chug! The guitarist of Dillinger escape plan Ben Weinman plays an Esp signature guitar that is semi hollow or hollow anyways that dude is crazy! I love the tone controls on this guitar. I tried one recently and was totally blown away. It does a lot of things that my Ibanez don't do . Also it's fantastic for clean tones and jazzy fusion playing too. Or metal too! 😊
Big respect to him, bro not only slaying he is like a human metronome w how he stays on beat. My guy can def chug it out! 👍🏽
People don't see semihollows as metal guitars and for modern hi gain stuff i wouldn't recommend them, but for anything else they're fantastic. I remember seeing clips of Pepper Keenan playing a 335 around 2010. Awesome.
Totally. The only real problems are durability on a metal stage and avoiding feedback on a super loud stage.
@@stratonarrow also changing the electronics
Videos of down is what made me consider a gretsch semi hollow for metal. I’m still considering it. Between that and a 7 string. Very different I know but I feel the gretsch through a recto style amp will be way more unique sounding than a modern 7 string
@@shugo541 Maybe have a look at a baritone semi-hollow, if you want a low b tuning. Don't know if Gretsch makes one, but there's a Hagstrom Viking Baritone. DAngelico and Danelectro also have something in that vein.
Gretsch also makes a baritone guitar that sounds absolutely brutal.
Thank you! It is uncommonly and nice to see a metal man with non-metal guitars! :)
I have my grandfather's 1964 Gretsch Chet Atkins 6120 Nashville. Beautiful guitar and amazing to play.
Since nobody else is saying it I will.. Your dad had great taste in musicians to look up to. Chet Atkins was beyond great.
A lot of us are probably thinking it. I think metal guitarists are some of the most accepting of other genera and can find it all good. Hell, when I was in my teens I thought Country music was stupid until I tried to "chicken pick." That shizzle is hard!
Everybody else is saying it, calm your tits
More like Country Djentleman
More like country thrashman because this guitar can sound like early Metallica and Megadeth because one of the riffs he played sounded similar to five magics
Nice man, I see what you did there😜👍 that is a cool take on words though.
As a teen I plugged my dad's country gentleman into my mesa mark iii and it actually was pretty badass sounding. There's a reason that I want a duo jet with filtertron bridge and dynasonic neck pickup lol
Yo Ola thank you so much for the Solar Vs man. I love them so much. I am getting almost all of them!
While Chris Cornell wasn't a metal guitarist necessarily, he played some heavy ass shit on an ES-335. Dave Grohl seems to do alright too
Alex liveson too
Let's not forget Josh Homme with his semi-hollows, and Tyler Bates used a Schecter semi-hollow for most of his stuff on Marilyn Manson's 'Pale Emperor' and 'Heaven Upside Down' albums
Geordie Walker? Killing Joke? Big, fat ES295 of death chug
@@miked7795 Fwoar, Geordie's tone is monstrous. Love him a lot.
Ted Nugent
You said “Yentleman” instead of “Gentleman” ... it was charming & we laughed. 🤘🏻
"Yenius!" - Some other YT Swede.
@@PetarJovanovic993 😂
Country Djentleman
Your next Solar model!!
Ola bringing out the jazz chops! Nice!
Always wanted to try out a Gretsch, now i know which one to look for
Victory amp great
Gretsch guitar great
Mesa cab great
Dismember teeshirt great
Hey man, was that a super fast version of Time will not heal, that you played for a few seconds??? Sounded killer. Also, shoulda named this "country djentleman"
I've always loved thr Gretsch styling. They're so refined and just gorgeous.
Damn Ola can shred AND play some really smooth jazzy licks. Great video brother, keep it up!
Ola: Mainly plays metal.
Also Ola: Plays some dang good cleans.
Will It Chug - Hughes and Kettner Spirit of Vintage, Spirit of Rock and Spirit of Metal... please.
It's all in the amp as wel! First time I hear a Victory's furious Gain control. Awesome!
Exclusively used a streamliner in my last punk project, it did the job perfectly. It can be heard on "mars landing, the wayside e.p." great video!
I regret giving up my Gretsch Streamliner to get my ex the Epiphone she wanted. 😔
Other than the gloss neck, it was a great guitar. Chugged, sounded great riffing or clean, and everything in between, and the fret work was damn near perfect
I'd never trade a Gretsch for an epiphone
@@MilkoOfficialChannel Yeah. Would not recommend. Lol
I'd prefer the duo jet myself, but I love Gretsch in general.
Ola's videos really taught me that mic's do so much to a guitar tone that you really can't form a decent opinion on gear listening to youtube vids only.
The videos by the Studio Engineer TH-camrs did the same thing to me as well, I learned that the reason I was having such a hard time finding my “grail” tone off of one guitar+amp was because my grail tone was actually _four_ guitars with skillful EQ processing and different mics!
Mine is a 2627T with three pickups that I absolutely love. I honestly bought mine without having any past experience with the Gretsch products and have loved it from the first day I picked it up. One of the best purchases I've made in a very long time. Excellent quality guitar with beautiful sounds, only cost me about $600/USD from Guitar Center.
As a country yentleman, I appreciated the shit out of this video
you should bring that on tour and open the show with it, people would not get it
Beautiful guitar, great playing, thank you for the video.
this is my favourite TH-cam series.
Always wondered how the likes of Pepper Keenan and Chris Cornell played so distorted with hollowbodies without it sounded awful? Pepper in down sounds incredible
Pepper is a beast especially in COC
Down have a practice video of them playing Pillars of Eternity backstage and thats what showed me it is more than acceptable to play metal on a hollowbody. Gonna get a Sheraton sometime soon 🤘
New series: Ola plays metal on inappropriate instruments.
LMAO 🤘
What we really learned here is that metal sounds better on classic models.
Lap Steel
@@chadtalboom1926 now that’s a video I’d love to see
Xylophone!
Love the filtertron sound, really underrated pickup type with a really nice sounding mid range
Got the exact same model and it’s MARVELOUS to say the least! AWESOME AXE FER SURE!
Only $575.00 via AMAZON
The things got humbuckers it’s gona chugg
My epiphone es 339 pro with alnico V can chug some thrash metal. We Metalhead don't need to be a gear junkies. All we need is just humbucker with distortion pedal.
Whick do you think is better for classic rock and a bit of thrash metal/shred tones/groove and plays also clean for some you know people hehe, a ceramic or alnico?
@@muhammadnajril5603 Yeah man a humbucker and a high gain distortion
@@lilwayne1994 Both will work good but if you can get active pickups it will be better.
@@vaibhavmugulavalli3366 not true. I had a Duncan custom and an EMG 81 and the Duncan smoked it. Passive high gain pups are still organic and allows the guitar space to breathe. If you put an 81 into anything, it sounds the same; plastic.
George harrison could’ve chugged?
Did he not Chug?
@@hadinasrallah8928 maybe a few beers 🍻
I bought one of these Gretsch Streamliners in January, exactly like what you’re playing, but in ‘Torino green.’ I don’t play metal, but now I might have to seeing as this guitar chugs.
I have this guitar and I love how heavy it can get. Pepper Keenan from Corrosion of Conformity and Down plays them and that’s what opened my eyes to them for metal
Chet Atkins and Roy Clark are why I picked up guitar.
Don't forget jerry reed...
i mean i got my grandads ibanez artcore to chug through his line 6 spyder, id say a gretsch could chug
That's a beautiful guitar! I haven't gotten the chance to play a Gretsch, but I've always been a big fan of the way they look.
Storm day and a new Will It Chug vid? BEST. DAY. EVER.
Let s be honest for a sec, he can make a spanish classical guitar chug in like 3,2 seconds
will it chug: semi acoustic guitar
Yes. Reference, See: Zakk Wylde
might feedback a bit on a loud stage...
oooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I always enjoy your vids brother
It sounds really good!
Chelsea Wolfe isn't really a chug-forward musician but she plays semi-hollows and her tone is heavier than lead.
Yea,totally agree...am I mistaken or didn't she just get a signature? Maybe the guy that plays with her that also plays in QOTSA,a perfect circle,Failure etc.
Troy von something
@@denverrandy7143 Troy Van Leeuwen, also in Gone Is Gone 🤘
@@ale2031977 Gonna hafta check out "Gone is Gone" Failure has been my favorite group for years..."Fantastic Planet" is a masterpiece.👍🤘
@@denverrandy7143 Fantastic Planet is one of my favorite albums of all times too, they where so unique.
Troy is such a great guitarist...try Gone Is Gone, the band also features Troy Sanders of Mastodon and Tony Hajjar from At The Drive In. Echolocation is a great album.
The answer: The amp chugs.
I love Gretsch....I have 2 and want more, but these 2 will do anything I want to play. They have so many cool models to choose from.
5:22 What a tremendously screaming and powerful lead sound, incredible! Jättestunning!
goes to show that the amp is 90% of the sound if not more
98% and also expensive guitars are a lie
And technique.
@@gothmoneycarti8394 exactly!
Who in metal uses a Gretsch? Nobody I know. Maybe this will change their minds. Gretsch needs to come out with a metal looking axe. Anyone agree? Love my Gretsch.
Didn’t one of the guitarists for Shreddy Krueger play a Gretsch?
Chelsea Wolfe comes to mind, but yeah it is rare. Semi-hollow and hollow bodies can lend themselves to doom as they have a rounder tone and are more feedback prone.
Cult of Luna vocalist use Gretsch power jet i believe
Richard Fortus, Billy Duffy, Ricky Warwick...that's me spent.
Chris Cornell was the closest I could think of. But yes. I agree
feel ya. My dad have a Gretsch Brian Setzer G6120T, Im 31. The ol' boyz love them some old gretsch
Yep. Ola can make anything sound cool.
Guitar looks very nice
I've got the G2420T in the same color. Great guitar.
Noticed the clean riffs from Solar pt1, reminded me what an amazing track that is.
Wow!
This sounds *cool as phuck!*
Looking forward to seeing some hollow-/semi-hollow body Solar guitars in the future.
Thank you Ola, very cool!
