My Warmup Routine

Been asked what I do to warm up before gigs to get my brain up to speed.

List of things I use to make my videos:

★ Headphones - BeyerDynamic DT880 Pro

Without any doubt this is one of the best tips that one can give to any guitar player. Playing slowly but with precision is much more important than trying to just rush the exercises to gain speed.

Thanks for the advice Ola. I've been in a bad rut where my picking hand is way faster than my fretting hand and I think this will help me a lot. Cheers!

Can you make a video with excersises for the right hand to build speed with alternate picking and down picking or its that simple... play it slow....

[Cluless]

Very cool and effective routine. I tend to just focus on the weak spots - then put it all together.

Nice T-Shirt Ola. What an amazing album.

[MireWolf]

Great video, Ola! Much appreciated. I was half awake when I read the title, so I read it as My Warm Poutine.

What i do is play the petrucci pattern (4 notes per String, every finger is used) and some modes, up and down.

[Hzuuuu]

Awesome. Very helpful. Thank you very much.

For your Q&A: What do you think about Vintersorg? The recently released album "Till Fjälls, Del II" would be a great pick for your gaming&review sessions.

great info Ola 🤘. thanks for sharing 🤘

[TomyyyUK]

Ola, you need to review some harley benton guitars... no enough good reviews around.

That warmup sounds like how Ron Jarzombek writes his songs.

[whocares]

Sort of a follow up to Music is win video? :)

[pablo]

what Dream Theater song is at min 2:07 ?

[arjunrakesh]

Dear Ola,
I have a question...i see that the head of your guitar says that its a washburn guitar..but the inlay that it has is always observed on Solar Guitars...did you put custom inlays on this guitar?
Might be a silly question...but I Love You Ola!!!
Thanks for all the lessons

Look up Steve Vai's '10 Hour Workout', it's loaded with exercises like these.

[evgenymamin]

...and that's how riffs are born!

Hey Ola, could you Share your Desktop Wallpaper? I just Love Feared, but the only Wallpaper I could find was a Screenshot of Vinter.

Does Ola's sig washburms have Stainless steel frets?

[lukasohlsson]

Shit, Ola! You're video super crisp clear. Dem blue eyes <3
