In this series of videos, Johan Söderberg and Olavi Mikkonen from Amon Amarth stopped by the Guitar World offices to film an exclusive video lesson for us. In video one, the guys talk about their gear set-up and show you how to play the intro to "War of the Gods," the opening track to their new album Sulfur Rising. - Zábava
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.
@@TheOriginalCFA1979 Oh, boo-hoo. 🤷♂️
@@nckhed shut up
Рот не заткнёшь ни кому,хрен с ними
i love how humble they are... awesome guys. glad i had the opportunity to meet them.
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. 🙄
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.
Toki and skiwsgaar
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🔥🔥🤘🤘
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
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.
I love coming from sweden and being able to be proud of awesome guys like these :)
I love these guys and their music! MORE MORE MORE
3:13 dat grin on his face though.
aww he's having fun :D
man, i love their explorers, looks amazing
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.
Sooooooooooooooooo GENERIC!!
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.
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)
Just came here from a black veil brides guitar lesson for some reason. But anyway amon amarth has HEALED my ears!!!
so godlike... AMON AMARTH !! I LOVE YOU !!!
I like how olavi just looks really sad as well xD
I want Olavi Mikkonen guitar sooooo badly!
great band they are.
very cool!
This is awesome
These guys just broke the down to earth world record.
Their sound in this video is awesome actually.
Thank you Dethklok!
killer song, check out the other two parts of the video.
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 )
+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.
Never! You wish you could be as awesome as Amon Amarth
That whole intro is just so awkward hahaha I love these guys.
this is badass to the max. they even have viking names
Sometimes simple is best. I really like this it's catchy
amazing guitars..........
thats so epic riff
D'addario. I've never tried them but so many bands love them for detuning and big gauges.
I love amon amarth!
"It was made by a guy in Stockholm called "Airbrushed Studio Stockholm"" :P
Lmfao
Olavi's guitar is awesome
Sounds Nice ^^ i like your guitars
Cool gonna try learn this
oz punk how's the learning going?
Not so good not right frame mood being surgery in 3 days
Finally! A good band!
i love em
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...
My guitar heroes!!!
i fucking love those guys!
Skwissgaar Squigelf taller than a tree
Their guitars are amazing, want xD
@IhasMetal the rest of it is on their website
@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.
this guys make the real deal of viking metal
And we are Amon Amarth :)
nice!!!!
I LOVE THIS EXPLORER VIKING DRAGON GUITAR, MY GOD, I NEED IT!!!
I LOVEEEEEEE AMON AMARTH AND SURTUR FIRES \M/
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.
Made by Sana,one of the Vikings we use on stage?!
Use.On.Stage....WTF mate?
They are Swedish. English is not their first language.
I had a chuckle when he said that. I almost pissed myself when reading this comment though.
JustAGamerA The guy who said that, Olavi Mikkonen, is actually Finnish.
+GexxOn
They use actors who play vikings on stage during their live shows. I think that's what he meant, made perfect sense to me.
this band makes my life complete -.-
olavi's guitar is awesome
Olavi is so fucking awesome
yeee 5150 awsome love these guys.
@MRMOOD3 u've really gotta check them out live. Believe me, they kick ass.
They are techically from a few different countries in the same area that was originally called Scandinavia.
even though they have a real muddy sound, I still love it
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
can anyone tell me what string they use? i really couldnt quiet understand, my audio isnt the best
King Diamond FTW!
@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
These guys are what Brendon Small must have modeled the Swedish metal guys on Metalocalypse after! Toki and Skwisgaar would be proud.
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
@CobrazVeNoMx is "pursuit of the vikings"
lesson starts at 2:33
I regonize from olavis voice that hes finish, and he got an badass shirt! King Diamond yeaah!
@gibsonfan3
Certainly agree. Their tutorial is good and playing is tight as a whip, as usual.
@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.
love the way they laugh at everything!
the Guitar World website, search Amon Amarth, will be in a list of links.
@IhasMetal because they have a lesson of pursuit of vikings too! xD
the guy on the left's got a beautiful set of moobs there ;D
Olavi guitar is awesome
At First i thought " Damn, Skwisgaar Skwigelf got Fat, huh ?"
I wonder if they are going to start using the baritone explorers now that they are out, or the 7 strings?
What did he say about the kind of strings they use?
Does anyone know of you can buy the Viking dragon guitar and if so can you tell me where?
Söderberg forever
3.08 Do you reallize the guy behind is still playing while the music stop??
Yesterday I bought their album and I fucking love it!! \m/
where can i found you're lesson for pursuit of vikings ??:p part 2 ??
We show you how to play songs from te suralbum, our new euh album surtur rising
Amon Amarth is Kick ass.
@spartan934 yes but listen to how he phrased it, 'a guy called Aibrush Studios'
hello I am peavey ....and I am king diamond
@deathcore1239 They don't use their own amps at Guitar World. They use whatever they have set up for their interviews and lessons
what kind of strings did they say they use?
this song was INSANE live, holy shit XD
Where is the next part?? :'(
@SplashOfVomit pretty much!
what were the strings he said?
What kind of strings did he say?
@taila1976 most deff. drop b, b-e-a-d-f#-b from 6th string to 1st string
