Megadeth Guitarist Kiko Loureiro's Shredding Secrets

Kiko's english is sharp, damn!

Just great!

Would you please play some Brazilian blue? I'm just curious about what it sounds like .

been a fan of Kiko since early Angra days. I've always been mindblown by his talent and unique style

Grande Kiko! Representando o Brasil !

Baião, Maracatu... Kiko representa... ❤

Great interview and nice technique demonstrations! I hope you can do similar interview with Teemu Mäntysaari one day.

Kiko is just FODA 😊

Kiko Rules!

One the best and most versatile guitarists around today

I'm also left handed and play guitar the right way as everyone else. Always felt the right way for me 🤔

Im in heaven !

What brand strings are playing (shame on me cuz i nodis

Um dos meus sonhos de adolescente foi fazer isso que o kiko fez,ir pra America tocar guitarra em uma banda de lá.

Paul Gilbert on the show would be amazing! He has such an amazing technique.

Ha! I'm also a lefty. Cant play guitar like that though 😂

an absolute monster of player, insanely good and creative, Dave Mustaine is very lucky... the gremmie has a lot of Kikos work.

Love how much respect there's for Marty even from great musicians as Kiko. Btw just came here from the Marty interview.

Not only a great clinic on technique and vocabulary - but more importantly, creativity. Pure class.

Kiko Fantastico

Every one of these interviews throws me a curveball. Something I never expected. Kiko holds the pick almost by the edge. I've never seen it that way.

kiko es un crack total
un saludo desde argentina!

Orgulho de ser aluno online desse professor sensacional, grande Kiko, músico que dispensa comentários.

To me it really takes a lot of guts for Marty Friedman to come back to a band that he used to play and play again then then keep playing guitar for the same band if the opportunity was given I don't know if I could play with Megadeth seeing Marty come back even for a moment

The guy's a complete musician, on the path of GOATNESS.

So I'm not so wrong at all thinking harmony first.

Come on, you could come up with something like this - I often practice Master of Puppets when I'm practicing for a show.

Guthrie Govan please!

👏👏👏👏👏

I think having the Iron Maiden guitar players (especially Adrian Smith) would be remarkable! 🎉

NÃO EXISTE O MELHOR GUITARRISTA DO MUNDO, E SIM AS QUALIDADES DE CADA UM, ATRAVÉS DO INFINITO APRENDIZADO, MUITAS VÊZES, AQUELE QUE CONSIDERAMOS MENOS BOM NA GUITARRA, TEM ALGO DE ESPECIAL NO SEU TRABALHO, OUTRAS VÊZES, AQUELE QUE ACHAMOS O ÚNICO, POSSUE TANTO QUE SE TORNA MAIS UM COMO QUALQUER OUTRO. CADA GUITARRISTA COM A SUA PECULIARIDADE PESSOAL.....JEFFERSON WILLIAMS

A diferença do Kiko Loureiro pros demais é justamente quando ele mostra esse groove que só nós Brasileiros temos. Ele teve que aprender a forma do Dave palhetar as bases, mande o Dave tentar aprender como ele palheta com groove pra ver se aprende, nunca na vida. Ta na galeria dos maiores, mas nem os maiores fazem o que ele faz em diversos ritmos existentes.😢

I think he must be really skilled yo be able to play like a right handed even though he's left handed. I can't play the other way around even if I try.

kiko is very virtuous and focused on what he does. deserves a second part. wow

guys,it's very good

Yeah, tell me about modes, kkk. I use them a lot, but never ask me the freaking name of it!

Is intersting that rock/metal players listen to other styles of music and not that much the other way around for my experience.

I remember buying No Gravity from Guitar Nine. Still love it to this day

He still looks so young!

Our brazilian proud, Kiko Is amazing !!!

Kiko's rapid note changes without even thinking about them is mind blowing. But, I'm right handed and a heavy handed picker, lots of chugs and alternate strokes, triplets and tremolo picking. But, I do love a great and simple acoustic song, too. But, watching him play is incredibly mind opening. Especially with the mention of playing softly. Makes me want to experiment a little while noodling around. But, I do think his left hand being dominant and playing right handed definitely does give him a slight advantage. Cuz, like I mentioned, my right hand picking is very dominant compared to my left hand's positioning skills. I am always hyper focused on my picking cuz I'm right handed. 😮

Big Kiko

kiko a machine , boy! i see why dave keeps him around !

He's f*cking BRAZILIAN!!! We are soooo proud! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Please interview Steve Morse; He founded Dixie Dregs, then The Dregs, then joined Kansas, now he's with Deep Purple. Sweet man, terrifying guitarist. PLEASE try to find him! Thank you Rick, no such thing as too many interviews!

Fantastico!

Smart guy
