Have a great friday everyone! Remember to SMASH that friday and also subscribe to my Saturday while you're at it!
Ola Englund: Love that Mesa sound
No
Has anyone told you that you look alot like a christian jesus lol.
YES MASTER 🥴
That mesa sound you really nailed it with the tone there so clear and crisp overdriven. Dunno about the piezo though lots of high end too glassy for me. Again verry functional video of a good setup played by a good guitarist!
*Featured Dream Theater Songs*
Lead Section:
- Metropolis pt. 1 (0:08)

He played metropolis wrong kinda bothers me since im a huge DT fan
@@petruccijr2270 just some improve or ola likes the riff sounded with whammy bar rather than original version
The "Voices" part sounds like a song from Metallica, call of ktulu I may say...
I can so relate to this choice. It's probably an age thing I am a few years older than Ola but these are my adolescent 90s DT songs I'd fiddle to while a high schooler. Perhaps also Take the Time, but it was all about these. Delicious 90s, Ibanez DT songs. :)
Lucky Toaster ohhh I would let that go brother 😜
Coffee with Ola featuring John Petrucci
...'s guitar.
Then he can tell john what he thinks of his first several years with ernie ball lol!
Yes
Get john in there brother
And Dime's humbucker....almost. I am a sucker for slugs. I am a suckerer for fatterer sluggerers. Damn. That's a fresh Crunch Lab and it sounds fucking great...tone monster time. And of course you know the piezo gonna sound on point af. Always.
It happened today!🥳🤩
Day after chemotherapy first thing i watched is your channel. Have a great weekend
つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Here are some positive vibes from an internet stranger, wishing you all the best
Good luck to you.
Good luck!
I wish you all the strength you can harness and all the love you deserve
Best wishes from Canada!
that old boogie is easily one of the best tones i hear from you
Honestly, this is the best sound I've heard you get out of any gear. I don't know if it's the guitar or the mesa boogie amp but the tone is godly
Solid 6/10
I dont know ... There is something I dont like about that sound, to me that Strat or any of his Solars sounded way better ... there is some kind of "dryness" in the sound that I dont like ... But hey, I dont like the tone of JP himself and eve Dream Theater much, so I probably should not comment at all here :D
Alexandru , thats the power of the dimarzios :D
I'm going to have to completely disagree with you dude. This sound sounds weak and without enough saturation. Those guitars suck and are overpriced and overrated
I think Dimarzios have a weird sound for rhythm. Like they're really saturated, sounds nicer for leads than rhythm imo.
This is the best distorted tone I heard on this channel in some time. This combo is killer.
Yeah Dimarzios play a key roll here
Trüe
Daniel Walker the Illuminators in my Majesty are my favorite pickups I’ve ever played.
Julien Pansera I can’t get over how amazing his tone is in this.
@@iTz_FLAwL3zZ buddy have you ever tried Dimarzio d activators ? Or ever compared to illuminators set ? I wanna buy one of these sets for my Rgd and im not sure which one to buy , they are both awesome ..
I used to be brand manager of Ernie Ball in My country. I was so excited when we received these, and i got to meet John Petrucci several times and make videos with him. But for some reason i never connected with the instrument.
The steve morse Music Man though, is seriousely underrated.
I want to buy one and I can’t decide between a jpx or jp15. Can you tell me what’s the better of the 2 and which one will have a better resale value .
Thanks
The EBMM Petrucci models are expensive af but worth every Cent imho.
Both the JP and the "Majesty" are loaded with cool features like ss-frets,Piezo,a non- locking floating trem that actually stays in tune,great pickups and the new models even have an onboard DB-boost function.
But best of all,is the ergonomic design. Compound radius fingerboards,super upper fret access,light weight and look how great the control layout is.
And these guitars aren´t "one trick ponies" like many sign.models.
Joe Bonamassa used a JP on "The Ballad of John Henry" studio record and that guy´s genre couldn´t be more far away,from the Prog-Metal stuff that Petrucci plays.
They really are great. I just picked up a Majesty last week and it is in a class all it's own. However, I don't believe they have a compound radius fretboard. I believe they are a straight 17" (19"?), but I'd have to look it up to be sure. I seem to remember thinking that it was a little odd that it didn't have a compound radius. Either way, it feels and plays unbelievably well.
I looked it up and yes,no compound radius.
That pinch harmonic at 8:44 was so amazing
Dang that tuning-stability tough in dt-intro🤣.
Yea i,heard how out of tune that,was too lol
Damn, this is a good tone Ola, like really really good.
Those JP DiMarzio custom pickups probably designed around the 2C+ amp (JP has a "reissue" 2C+ signature with some added features).
Agreed! One of the better guitar vs. head I've heard on this channel. Actual tone.
Even the clean is so so sooo good
Solar Pt 1 is such a masterpiece that every single time you play some of it I am enchanted. The best you've composed yet, for years...
I almost traded an Ernie Ball Axis for a Jackson. But the dude was decent enough to slap me in the face for being so stupid.
For Jackson? 😐
🤷🙅🙆🧕🏾💥
Jackson...that’s a good idea
f
Jackson ht6 USA is veery good !
Jackson US soloist and the like is a really even trade for a decked out EBMM imo.
I have a year one EBMM Edward Van Halen signed in the neck pocket signature model. Cherry burst. Its 30 years old now and plays perfect. Its never needed any adjustments. Set in perfect intonation, string height and stays and perfect tune. You cant make it go out of tune. Its heavy by todays standards and it honks like a tele w/ humbuckers. l used to use it for years. lts been rained on in a gig, sweat on, left in hot vans etc and still works like new. Ive got Suhr's, T Anderson, a Heritage, Ibby Jems etc but that Eddie V is a great guitar if you get the right one. They were great for the about the first several hundred made and then like anything else they went to lighter cheaper woods and just arent the same IMHO. lve been looking at Solars lately too. Cool guitars. Good show.
4:13 still one of my favorite solos of all time.. that octave part..
Which solo is that?
@@davidclay8037 Liquid Tension Experiment - Paradigm Shift
Thank you Ola for the demonstration. Your love for music shows when you bring out all tones in this guitar like a pro
I just bought the sterling majesty 2020, and its pretty incredible
Wow! The whole: "You play the same riff everytime" must have gotten to Ola.
DUDE YES!!! I love when you play Dream Theater!
Ola, I knew you were good. But playing my favorite dream theater jams!? You really showcased your skills on this one, bro.
The piezo distortion is because that pickup has a much wider dynamic range than the magnetic pickups. Your attack strength can clip the amp when hit harder. Piezos are usually run into an acoustic amp or into a preamp with compression then into the PA.
How have I only just seen this video??! 🤦🏻♂️.. and straight after the coffee with John Petrucci!! 🤘🏻😝🤘🏻
did i just hear "still got the blues"????
THAT SOUNDED FUCKING EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just wanted to say how cool it's been to see how much better you've gotten at lead guitar over the years
Finally Ola is testing Dimarzio pickups!
The guitar sounds great!
Awesome playing too 😜
That tone and that playing is melting my face 😱
Hey Ola, big fan, could you make a video sharing your thoughts about Jason Richardson's music and guitar playing, kind of digging into it and discussing it, about his solo album and his only single Tendinitis or you could put that in your faq tbh and definitely check out his sig EBMM guitar, its dope.
I've always wanted one. Just cant put down a few grand for one lmao
I payed $2800 for a second hand one. Australian dollar is different though.
It’s the one guitar that I regret selling.
Just save up a lot for it.
Malachi Mills-Hindle 2800!!!!
4:26 i remembered Garry More Solo ,hehehe
Yes, that phrase sounds a lot like Gary Moore, but that's actually from Liquid Tension Experiment's "Paradigm Shift".
My Enchanted Forest Majesty broke 2 high E strings within days of getting it, and didn't hold tune as well as it should. I was about to send it in for warranty work, but then it settled down perfectly. I regularly bend the high strings 2 steps, and no more breakage or losing tune. Ya gotta let a new guitar acclimate to its new environment, and get broken in, before you say negative things about it. I have a vintage LP Custom, and a late 80's PRS Custom 24, and this guitar outshines them both. Best guitar I've ever played, and I haven't put it down since buying it about 4 months ago.
Also, it was set up perfectly when it arrived. The action was lower than I could handle, meaning, when I bent strings, the adjacent string would slip under my finger. I considered raising the action, but didn't want to have to mess with the intonation, since it was also perfect. But once I got my callouses built up, no more problems with bending strings. And your touch has a lot to do with how in-tune it plays. You hit a couple chords out of tune, which was due to your touch, not the guitar. And those chord voicings in Metropolis are wrong, btw. lol
I really think you should try the Majesty. Glad you mention that at the end of the video. I didn't care for the JPM's but really like the Majesty's. I'm not a Petrucci or Dream Theater fan at all (sorry but I am an Ola fan), expected to hate the Majesty but saw a used one and picked it up just to see what it was like and was really impressed.
Same here. I remember my first time seeing them and thinking they seemed a little odd and how could thay possibly be THAT good? Then I picked one up and played it. Took me all of 10 seconds to realize that the Majesty (regardless of if you like the aesthetics or not) is a ridiculously good guitar.
That fucking tone!!!! What a great video... just for the tone alone. Thanks ola.
Hello Ola:
Just to clarify... a Plek machine scans the guitar to the mininum detail. The level of accuracy is almost microscopic , but it does not fix the guitar. Based on the findings, a human being has to correct the issues found. It could be walk in the park fix or a lot of work ( fix something, put it back on the machine, check again, then fix something else and so on until complete).
BTW: the pickups on that guitar are DiMarzio Crunchlab (bridge) and Liquidfire (neck).
I got super lucky and picked up Misha's old JP6 w/Bareknuckle Pain Killer in the Bridge(mystic dream) for under 1k on Reverb. I love the middle pickup position!!
Nice demo...I have a JP16 with a roasted neck and a Floyd...didn't think I'd love it as much as I do....next will be a Majesty...just not sure which one yet...
Great video Ola... I was looking forward to this one for awhile like you were... the Majesty guitars are different than the JP series but still very good. I am looking forward to you playing one in the near future.... cheers from Canada
John petrucci, he got the best signature shovels in the market.
And ola, can you make a review of the harley benton fusion 2. i wanna hear your opinion on it.
Would suggest a majesty for sure ;D definitely try that one next
Chug is life yet iam a sucker for a good clean chanel omfg that's so nice ola. Cheers from TX
Love my JP6 BFR, amazing instrument!
Holy shit, these tones are crazy good... that Boogie tho
I have a 2019 maj and I love it. Stays in tune like a dream. I hope you can demo one.
That mesa and that guitar sound so... well mesa. Very awesome sound imo
Hey, looks exactly like the JP BFR I had years ago. I think it was around 2009 when I had it. I liked the guitar. It was something different. Great sounding neck pick (Air Norton), not so great sounding bridge (D Sonic). Can't really say I loved it though, as it had major problems with the g string not keeping tune. I took it to like 3 different people to set it up, and no luck. Luckily I sold it back to the guy I bought it from without taking a wash.
The PLEKing also allows for near perfect intonation across the fretboard. I had my American Pro strat PLEK'd from Sweetwater when I bought it and it's awesome!
That’s probably a 2009-10 Petrucci your holding and in my opinion the best in the whole lineup from 2000 to the present ones!
Sounds good from over here thank you thank you
I love mine. My EBMM JP 7 Desert Gold is from '08! The EBMM JP7 BFR XI is a bit different. Love both of them. The piezo feature is very useful to me. I like blending clean sounds and the Piezo out to PA. One is standard the other 1/2 step down. My main one is in standard, but I use the drop sometimes. I sometimes use my Eventide Pitch Factor to simulate 12 string. Blending in the piezo made it sound more convincing. So, it is like a virtual 14 string guitar double neck. Just without the weight of 2 necks.
Nice guitar but the new ones are on another level, majesty and such.
Man I still want a Mark series amp. Ive played a blue stripe MKIII that sounded awesome and ive been craving one ever since.
my jpx bfr has been my go-to for the last six years. i feel bad for having a $3200 guitar as my beater, but i love it so much.
Been watching your channel for years,actually forget how much of an awesome guitar player you are........with the lead stuff..
Nice tones here! I’ve never really liked the DiMarzios, but you managed to make them sound awesome, as always!
I got the stealth black version of the JP6 as a 40th birthday gift (most expensive gift I EVER got by FAR!).
That is the highest quality guitar I laid my hands on. The playability is out of this world, best neck ever, perfect intonation, flawless finish and build. Every aspect of that guitar has been thought out and optimized... but for John Petrucci ! I play way harder than he does, and I’m not half as proficient as a shredder, than he is. But that instrument is so well thought-out and crafted, I think it would be blasphemous to customize that one for my liking (pickups change, tremolo blocking) and I don’t really care for the piezo, and all that it comes with : extra cavities, extra switch, extra volume pot, extra 9V battery, extra input, extra wiring. All that makes me guess I’ll have to sell it, I can’t keep a guitar that expensive that I have no real use for. But I know I’ll always miss that neck...
Glad you dig it. I’m a huge fan of both John Petrucci and of course...yours truly. Thanks for the video awesomeness (the Dime riffs were sweet too) and happy holidays!🤘🏻💯🤘🏻
This is some SICK fvcking playing, Ola. The whole chunk around the 4:00 mark is so sweet.
I don't know what you did there, but this is your best sounding video.. I'm not talking just about the guitar tone etc.. overall the best sounding video of yours
Never been sure of the design of the music man. The shapes and forms are weird looking. But playability and sound is more important, but bad ass looking design does not hurt. IMO Solar really nailed modern aggressive forms in their design. Love the all of them but especially E2.6 BOP. That will be my next guitar. Hope to see more E series colors and designs in the future.
Those DiMarzio Crunch Lab pickups are really good. I've got one in my Ibanez JS1000 and it sounds awesome. It's really versatile for a high output pickup. Definitely my favorite of all the pickups Ive tried.
The Majesty is the best!! The neck is awesome...
The neck for this model is to die for, best one I've ever played
Very nice DEMO. Enjoy your playing.
This is the best guitar, that I want to never have.
All the Ball guitars I like have billboards on the fretboard. I wish they put signatures and artist logos on the back or not at all.
@@BlackPhillip666 they do make this with dots. I had one.
EBMM has a weird fascination for sigs. I notice half their guitars are sigs but multiple models of them. They dont feel like sigs imo though besides the JP shield inlay.
Can’t go wrong with Charvel Pro mod 24’s sound amazing/fast neck/graphite truss rod/ not expensive like signature guitars. It has a floyd rose but with a black box upgrade you can downtune/break a string without affecting the rest of the strings.
I don't think you've played the right Music Man, they make incredible guitars with some of the best necks in the game.
Thank you for following through from an ebmm fanboy. I have to say he changed the pickups as well. If from back then, it would have shipped with air nortons. That blade on the bridge gives away the liquifire/crunch lab.
One of the best pantera tunes ever ola
I had my Ibanez rgd Prestige 7-string plek'd at Sweetwater truly improved the playability
Hi! Ola's I'm huge fan of you from Maraland, Northeastern India. # Your channel help me alot to discovered tons of some new & awesome Instruments & Tools with some of the instructional that will help us alot in our future! Thank for ur time and energy to let us learns a new level of instruments and theirs usage🤘 May God Bless You! Keep on Rocking & Riffing 🤘 Huge Regards!!!
That tone was beast and you seemed really comfortable playing it too. Awesome video!!
Just dig the video because of that small Liquid Tension Experiment lick
If this is a 200X model, then the PUs will be different to what he's using now. I believe he was using a Crunch Lab in the bridge, and a LiquiFire in the neck (both DiMarzio of course) back then for those models. Now I believe he's using his new custom PUs called the Illuminators.
I found myself with a huge smile at the end of the video and I don't even know why. Thanks Ola!
my first exp with the jp line (i bought the jp15 at 2018) was dissapointing, the neck is not stable, and keep moving every once in a while, the roasted neck did not help at all, until it needed a fret redressing , but i a few days ago a try a 7 string jp bfr in dragons blood and instantly fell in love with it, the craftsmanship are 100% best, so i guess the best JP are those with painted Neck
unless you or someone else updated the pickups its not a 2005, it would have a Steve Special and an Air norton in it
wow, Ola the Images-And-Words-Rifferer. Best DT album without a doubt! You should do the same with other famous signature guitars!
I love Mesa boogie Mark IIC+!!!!!!!
Very cool to hear u play DT. Great stuff. 👍🏻 Phenomenal tone and fat heavy sound.
Nice! Also, always loved the Pantera - Regular People riff @ 5:03
Congrats on 420k subscribers 🥦
This is the best tone you’ve ever had. Thick, juicy with balls. Makes me want a M2C+
Love the crunchlab, one of the best bridge pickups I've played
Oof that section of the Paradigm Shift solo. Top 3 Petrucci solo for me.
That guitar with a Ibanez AZ headstock and it would be perfect!
Hi Ola!
In the Music-Store in Cologne they have a 7-String Majesty hanging in the custom-shop section. Maybe if you are on a tour through Germany workshop-wise or similar, you can give that shop a visit.
Not fair. That's an exceptionally nice example none of us mortals will get to try often lol
Sound amazing! Good playing too.
Holy Shit Ola ! That amp and guitar together with you playing... sounds Epic man 👍 sooo happy you did it this way instead of putting it through a plug in 🤘Tubes for life✊
Lovely guitar, and sounds amazing in the right hands. Awesome choice of songs too :D
2019 majestic.totally different guitar.try it ola
Images and words is so good
The Mesa sounds huge, the dimarzios encase it all in a smooth suit of iron.
straight nastiness at 5:03 awesome
You should try Jason Richardson's guitar from musicman.
4:13 damn that was nice
i was just about to say, also the transition to still got the blues... damn
it sounds really good.
The piezo sounded sick on that thing.
This sounds amazing tbh. Svinfett.
Ola, i love when you are playing ambient stuff, you should do more
Really good vid, you have improve so much in solos
your best tone so far xD
