Coffee with Steve Vai.
Yes please!
We neeeeeed this
YEEEEEEES
Up
the internet will melt that day
Looks like you’ve already got an artist lined up for your next album cover.
Tyler Brittan Dancer of the Unicorn - Ola’s sophomore slump record. Coming in 2020, the year of utter bullshit.
mikewifak I can just see it already. Haha.
333 likes. Nice
This is why this channel is great! Ola don’t speak always about his SOLAR guitar! He love the instruments, he like all the fine made guitar..And in perspective you appreciate more Solar guitar because of the humility of the genuine person behind his own brand.👍🏻
You gotta make a song about Ballerina Zombie Malin!
Another MY GUITAR video, talking about my relationship with the Ibanez PWH Universe...
You need a screwdriver with a very long thin shaft so you can be at the right angle for your claw screws dude, that way the heads don't get chewed up over time.
I've been thinking about getting a SOLAR. How do the necks compare to that Ibanez?
Yeah dude. English does have that phrase too 😊 We talk about dotting the i's and crossing the t's 😊
Beautiful guitar! You said the neck is nicer than the black one you posted a photo of. In my opinion yours also looks a lot nicer too. (Others may have different opinions... 😜)
👊🏽
500K special?
I love that Ola still showcases other brands besides his own. Fender, Ibanez, Dean , and Washburn. A great guitar is a great guitar no matter the name.
The edge is designed so that it looks like its not level to the body when it is actually level. You have to look at the actual plate that is resting on the posts and make sure that its level. So many people make this mistake.
Yup. I always went by the knife edge’s outer edge where they are inserted into the bridge plate. Usually at the bridge height I had them set at, the edge of the edge would lay parallel with the body.
I wanted to mention that also. Yes the base plate is the level you want.
Also, when installing the springs, start with the pin in the block then put the ring of the spring second. Way easier.
Not sure what you are describing here? The whole bridge should be level, definitely not like it is here initially. But you were probably talking about something different. Was just wondering. 🤘🏻🎸
@@heyjarrod Ibanez has a V shape to their bridges. the leveling mark is a small metal plate showing on the side of the bridge on the bass side. it appears as a 1/2" long line on the side of the bridge. level the line, not the surface of the bridge.
You're such a good dad Ola! Leaving the guitar bench during a video to see what the little one did, so sweet.
"Under A Glass Moon" 😍😍😍
Warms my heart to hear you speak about Steve :)
Vai has that affect on all life forms in my experience 🤘🏽kinda like your synergy tones
Ola....I used to play guitar back in the early 80's into early 90's. I had my first guitar back in middle school, or what the EU would call secondary school. My father paid for lessons for me to learn how to play. Being a early teenager and already feeling that i knew "everything", i stopped my lessons and tried to learn on my own. Well...I guess you know where that went. That didn't stop me from buying new gear and pretending to be that "rock star". I have always loved guitar, and your videos have i guess, relighted a passion in me to pick up the guitar again at age 50 just to play again. I have no idea where this will go for me but, i thank you for the inspiration that you bring to guitar and music.
I absolutely love my Universe. Awesome guitars. It's really what started the whole extended range popularity in rock and metal. They feel great, they look great, and most importantly they sound great. Favorite guitar.
"When Steve Vai speaks, you listen." Coming from a guy who I listen to when he speaks.
I love these videos even more than the FAQs. I don’t miss any videos but Coffee With Ola and this new series has became my favorite.
Great story. As having lived in Norway myself and driven there I can imagine the conversation, hopefully as the snow quietly fell and the quietness of snow added a focus to Steve's words of wisdom. I have always desired a Jem floral print, maybe one day :)
Man I love how this video is set up. The different segments adds layers to the video haha.
Easily one of my favorites so far.
Probably the best sounding guitar in your collection that I've heard.
KoRn weapon! Coffe with Brian "Head" Welch. :-)
I like to take a few pennies and stack them up then tape them together with scotch tape so they don't move. Set the floyd so it's flush and stick the penny stack behind the block and I wrap more tape until it's a snug fit. Keeping the string tension I loosen the springs a lot. Change strings one by one and set the fine tuners to have travel in both directions. Tune new strings to pitch and stretch them by bending and pulling on them a bunch of times. Tune to pitch and bend a bunch over and over till they stay in tune. Lock the nut down on all the strings. Put tension back on the springs slowly until the penny stack can be pulled out (but not so much tension that the penny stack falls out) and then you're done. 6 string guitar with a set of 9-42 and 3 springs on the claw and you'll be able to flutter pretty well. You can flutter with a heavier gauge set of strings, just not as much or as easily.
OLA! YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS INFO! All these comments about how to set up a Lo Pro Edge and nobody even liked or responded to this comment. Guitar tech says: this is the correct way to change string gauge, tuning, or reset the angle on a Floyd. The only thing I did different was use wood blocks cut and sanded to fit both sides of the sustain block so it doesn’t move in either direction before adjusting spring tension. For guitars my blocks didn’t fit, some pickguard material or even picks stacked up worked fine. Tape on the coins might have more give to it than one might want, but if it’s working for you, I cast no aspersions.
@@meatsmudge5349 I forgot to mention that I stack as many pennies as I can until they don't fit the gap, then I remove 1. There isn't much tape needed after that. It doesn't compress enough to really make a difference. But I guess it could compress if someone used a lot of tape.
Bro I love the Metal Gear "shock" or "surprise" effect sound you use in your videos. Just another tiny part of what makes Ola the best!!
I hope Kojima and Metal Gear get back together one day. A better love story then twilight.
Love that guitar and the story behind it. Also, it sounds killer and I can tell you enjoy playing it. Keep up the great work Ola!
Not only entertaining AF, but also the most comprehensive and informative Floyd Rose tutorial ever 🙌
LOVING it! You can totally tell that you were getting into playing this one Ola! Awesome!!
Erik Rutan of Hate Eternal still uses his Universe live for a couple of their songs. Hate Eternal tone video!
Ola bro. Small tip. Use a stack of picks between the block and body to make it stay level. Tune the guitar and then tighten the screws in the claw until the picks become loose. Take them out and fine tune. Easy FR setup works 100% every time and takes 5 min. Just how I do it brother
I love when you start playing and tease us before giving us the low notes. That thing roars! 🤘🏽
Honestly never listened to much of Steve's music but I totally agree with you Ola about something very spiritual about about him almost like he knows something about the universe that the rest of haven't grasped yet or maybe don't have the ability to grasp. Very kickass guitar btw and loved the story that goes with it.
Awesome guitar! Recently got into 7 string myself after 20 years of playing. What really got me though was your interaction with your daughter... I mean that in the sense that, for alot of dads (not all of course but I'd imagine quite a few) that would have been an "I'm too busy right now moment" but you took the time to walk over and acknowledge the work she did! Hat's off to you sir from one dad to another!
7 string are awesome!
Thats a fantastic memory to have.....thanks for sharing ola. Incredible guitar, absolute legend of a guitar player. 🎸💥🔥
This series of videos is so cool to watch, keep it coming and congratulations man
That ibanez is my favorite in your collection, man, such a beauty
This is my dream guitar.. I’ve been wanting one for so long!
Truly killer guitar. Cool to see it signed by the lord and saviour himself. I just completed my Ibanez trifecta and hopefully I’ll have my own universe one day. Great vid and thank you for consistent & quality content
a 7 string guitar..WITH A FLOYD! wow.. And a good story to go with it too. "The one that got away"..but you got one back! and can now bask in the glory once again
Great video and much respect to you, Ola. So glad I own one of these. I’ve owned three 1991s in the past but now a proud owner of a 1990 PWH…
Love these old school UVs. Another great 7er is the Ibanez K7 (minus the horrendous inlay). It chugs!
7:10 More of that Batman voice in future videos please!
I know right that was legit Dark Knight 😆
Dude those blazes sound wayyyy better than I thought they would holy shit fucking massive tone.
I usually set my fine tuners like this: E screwed in deeper than centre, A above centre, D below, G above, B at centre, and high E above centre.
I find that puts the fine tuners basically level after clamp down and fine tuning, which pleases my OCD. It also gives maximum range and function to the tuners.
I have to say, the 90's Universes', Jems and RG550's are the same of the best guitars Ibanez has ever released. Square heels or rounded neck joints they were perfect. The Original Wizard necks had the best feel and unmatched even to this day. Great video Ola. Would love to see more ibanez love.
This is definitely my favorite guitar in your collection, along with the Ibanez JP of course 😄
bridge angle was correct, needs to be level with the knife edges, not the top.
This. Ola don't know da Edge, haha!
Exactly...plus, you should always check the tuning in the "playing" position for a floating trem!...gravity changes the pitch as soon as you pick the guitar up
Thought the same thing. I thought I was wrong maybe.
That whole time wasted lol and strings felt like bridge cables afterward lol!
@@tubesoupio Good call. When tuning, just the act of leaning forward with the guitar hanging from your body to look at the tuner will effect the tuning. Always stay in playing position when tuning.
Ola: tells us off for rude joke around his daughter, before proceeding to call his guitar an asshole multiple times ahaha
What are you hiding Ola??? At first I thought it was your kid but then there were a couple shots with your kid outside the blur...
A guitar that is not released yet and probably some trolling with it.
I guess it’s a guitar since there were some empty cartons
He watches cnn and is embarrassed
A corpse
He _was_ trying to edit out the kid 😂 8:30 🤷♂️ He did call himself a noob.
Amazing Video
Today at work I thought „a video of Ola riffing/chugging would be great.
Now I‘m at home watching this 😍
Under a glass moon! Beautiful guitar that, enjoyed the video!
I love my UV7PWH! I've had mine since the early 2000's as well! One of my favorite Ibanez guitars.
Great video! I have a 6-string Jem and am one of those people who fear tuning it... so I really appreciate the encouragement to go for it
Hey Ola
long time listener, first time caller; the method you use to set your floating trem is why they got that bad rep as being a pain in the a**. To make it as easy as possible here's the steps: (say you use the strings already on the guitar and the guitar is in tune or close to)1- crank the screws at the back of the guitar so that springs tension make the pitch go way sharp. 2- find somthing to block the bridge at the angle you think is ideal (i use play cards as i can adjust thicknes with precision), 3- tune the guitar to pitch, 4- slowly release springs tension to ''free'' what you use to block the bridge, check tuning and fine tune using spring tension. Et voila!
What a wonderful story, Ola, thank you for sharing it. I was a fan of Vai as well and came from that 80’s-90’s era where he was the top dog. I’ve mellowed out since studying classical guitar like taking a European holiday in the arts. I’ve also had guitars I regretted selling, a 2013 Gibson Les Paul Standard and a 2011 EVH Wolfgang Special I spent a lot of time playing and have multiple recordings of on TLF as a solo project on reverbnation. I’ve tried newer versions of the EVH but they were not as welcoming to play. I didn’t like the newer model because the whammy bar seemed to knock on the wood.
Love these! Keep them up please!
Awesome guitar man. Have a good day. Awesome new series.
I’ve always loved the IBANEZ UNIVERSE , love the neck and tone . Still one of my main Guitars 👍🏻💯🎸💥
7:07 the BEST Christian Bale Batman troll voice EVER!! Love the videos man!
Sooooo stoked! Legendary guitar.
Amazing guitar with a incredible story to go with it!
I've never seen a ibanez guitar like this but definitely looks absolutely amazing
Great story, amazing guitar! My therapy is working on my guitars too. I love it. I also have that At War With Reality tour shirt you’re wearing - I love ATG. Stay safe
Extremely soulful guitar riffs!!
That's one great gears Ola!!
Dream gears and guitars
Love these videos Ola, keep them coming! =)
Wow dude, that guitar is in great shape for being 30 years old. Someone must have really loved and cared for that one!
Ola is such a charm
I wish I had a 7 string fr guitar but too broke lmao, good vid man keep it up. Nice guitar too man love steve
@Vex Eon I can't work or anything dude, I have to take care of my younger siblings (had to drop out from school), mom is always 10 days late on bills bc she only gets paid 7 per hour. So impossible for me, but I'm glad others can enjoy my dream guitar, what a lucky fella. Cheers!
Petrucci Jr so your dream guitar is the Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci Majesty? Well, it’s one of my dream guitars too. I’m hoping to buy my first Electric Guitar soon. I hope i can get a Jackson RR24 (though its discontinued) in Snow White as i’m a metalhead and i live in Asia. So, no Solar Guitars, or Keisel Guitars for me as they require you to order online. :)
@@Acepilot1312 I feel you on that one, and yeah the majesty 7 string Is my dream.
@@petruccijr2270 Know your pain bro. Economy in my country is terrible, even without the pandemic. I just paid off a loan i got a year ago to buy ltd 1000.
@@VoodooChiilld I'm sure youre not the only one, all my gear is free so I've never bought or had something I actually like.
Thanks for the entertainment in this hard times thank you so much. Greetings From Dominican Republic
Love this series.
The funny thing about this is...I was sitting here doing the same thing to my 1999 model RG Series 7 string ,when this video popped up ...lol
Got my “ Will it chug” shirt in da mail yesterday. I thank you👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Green and black Ibanez Universe was always one of my favorites. Trey Azagthoth main axe back in the day.
My favorite guitar of all time!!! The Ibanez Universe!!! I love the black one with the metal pick guard!!
That one is sweet. I know for a long time that was Vai's bad horsie guitar.
I have a PWH also, I had no idea they were only made in such limited numbers. Thanks for the video... I need to restring and go play mine now.
Was not expecting to enjoy this episode as much. That guitar even looks comfy to play. OLA next rig of the week: this guitar + tremoverb.
Nice!! Glad you have it back! You really seem to have missed the original guitar; you seem very smooth and one with this one. Gave me an idea to look for a seven string myself.
thnks for the tips on adjusting the bridge! i've got a model S and is just what i needed
Great guitar, great video, great Ola who also teaches some guitar caring!Cheers from Italy!🤘
Loved this video
I remember seeing one of these in the video for You Can't Bring Me Down by Suicidal Tendencies. Love these
God that PWH is sick. I own a green dot and was NOT expecting such a mojo-filled machine.
I was just expecting another good MIJ Ibanez but there was something going on when Ibanez first made these guitars. It’s my favorite neck profile to date.
Man , you had the perfect Satriani tone going there!
Nice guitar ola. Mad props on the uv
I can't wait to see your 8 strings strictly 7 solar guitar... Sure sounds like a beast!! Cheers from Argentina!
Those old Unis are fantastic. I have a friend who has one and they just play great.
and thats my guitar! :) i m so proud of it!
In Spanish, when we say that we have "put the dots over the ies (to somebody)" it means that we have made something extremely clear, normally in tone of repehension or to prevent something to happen.
Anyway I understood your expression at first! What a beautiful thing languages are, my Svenska friend! :D
Yes, i have heard these old Ibanez universes are really good. Erik Rutan has one. Cool video.
Thats awesome about Vai. I saw him with Alcatraz in 85 at the Rainbow in Denver. Talas with Billy Sheehan opened up. Just after that they went to the DLR band.
I am happy whenever I watch the strings change videos
Great sneeze technique at 5:32!!
I saw the Video from 2018.
The way Steve Vai draws that vilolin key ..
Is just amazing...
Also echt sowas hab ich noch nie gesehen o.O
I had one of the early black and green Universes, as well as a 7620 later on. Eventually traded both of them, I used to change gear so much back then. So much stuff I'd love to have back...
Hey, been waiting for you to do this one!
Hi Ola..im a good frien of Ormsby in OZ...i hope u get this...i just want to say that Cannible Corpse tone u did was bloody awesome mate...back in "93" we used the jcm900 anniversary cabs...""deep and heavy as fu$ to lift up the steps...but the ol mt2....any valve amp really...jcm 900 or 800....thanks 4 posting ur vid...i listened to the bleeding and 6feets all night after that...im so old skool and its the perfect saturation in my opinion...as is Chris's vocal just merge like a nun on a sunday....cheers from Australia...keep the vids coming xo
i want one universe buck the black and green since i was 10 and my uncle show me passion and warfare ... he showed me a magazine with steve and that guitar ... i loved it
Ibanez necks are a huge reason why I've been playing them for as long as I can remember.
that Under A Glass Moon riff is awesome !
Loving these videos! :-)
I have the Bright green UV777GR! The one with the maple neck, tri-color pyramids! My friend in Thought Industry Paul, had the white version! I love mine!
Major lols when that spring sprang outta your hand!
I really appreciate the setup and parenting parts
YASSSSSSS!!!! My man! You heard me and I WILL own one of these beauties!!
