#Q&A
ur instructional vids are a massive help, 2 and a half years ago or so I properly started playing guitar and now im off to university to study music. Cheers man
Good luck!!
Kiko is awesome man. He’s so humble and generous. These videos are just the best.
So now i finally understand why Marty left
@@evhblogspot thank u man, and i agree hes awesome
Congratz to you good sir!
@@tejastrojan Thank u so much man, i move friday and start monday!! Im so nervous :o
Hey Kiko. Do you remember your first show? Like with your first band, How did you feel before and after?
Dave has struck gold with this guy... very personable very humble.. and more than willing to connect with the audience.
And he also looks cool doing it you couldn't ask for more.
I hope this lineup lasts
Hey Kiko! Kick Dave in the ass! I wanna hear the new Megadeth Album!!! We fans are already waiting forever now for the new Album. By the way, your new solo album is great stuff!
How lucky we are that we have an amazing musician taking the time to explain and show to us all of this. El orgullo de Latinoamérica metalheads.
There are no words to describe my love for this guy… Such a big inspiration
Love the behind the scenes interactions with the crew members! Keep em coming Kiko!
Thanks for being such a down to earth person, Kiko, let alone a phenomenal guitarist!
Vc é uma pessoa muito simples. Aproximar-se do público é uma atitude muito legal.
Obrigado!
You're a legend. It can feel addictive playing to huge crowds.
The bus engine vibration on this video is so real that I tough it was some king of engine near my apartment, but then, I stopped the video and it is gone.
I noticed that playing close to the fret makes muting the string easier with the left hand, avoiding buzz in transitions
Second question: can you name some pop (or non-metal / hard rock at least) bands that you enjoy listening now and then?
I think that restrictive conditions force you to be more creative, so it's actually an advantage.
i love Kiko's attitude. i hope they get to Japan and Marty joins them one day! him and Kiko would be amazing
Are you from the future? This happened on February!
@@AJRodC yes i am
How often do you sing backup in the current set? Do you like singing and playing? Have you ever wanted to sing lead on any of your solo work?
3:20 I was told by a guitarist in my town who'd been playing shows for 40 years- "If you feel no nerves at all before a show? There's no point in being up there anymore."
Just as you said Kiko, I always took what he said to mean: If you don't feel passion about the songs you're playing, to the people you are playing to, regardless of your ability, you need to take a look at yourself and ask if what you're doing with your skills is right for *_you,_* and making you happy. Otherwise you're just practicing and having people pay to watch.
Would you agree?
Being nervous and getting anxiety is different from getting excited. Nervous and anxiety is the negative loop when you think that things would not end well, or that you’re going to mess things up. He’s a professional, and he has big concerts experience, he’s not going to mess things up and there’s no need and makes no sense to feel that way, he clearly gets excited, which is feeling the anticipation of something good and pleasant. Do you want a surgeon nervous before a surgery on you? I don’t, and surgeons tend to love doing what they do best…
0:35 I thought the same
The wrong answer was probably more instructive to more people than the original
What a nice person you are! And so talented of course!
What an incredibly humble and talented guy..Meagdeath is lucky to have him..
Hey Kiko !! Cómo podemos mejor la técnica del tapping como tú lo haces ?? Saludos desde México 🇲🇽 !! Viva Kiko 🇧🇷
mira lick de guthire godvan v:
Kiko regarding your question on how close your fingers are to the strings...you are super patient and considerate, answering the question 2 times - wonderful! :)
Hey I wasn't complaining, Kiko 😂. I was just trying to offer a different perspective. To me it sounded like the person asking wanted to know why you're closer to the fret wire but I could be wrong. Either way your explanation was clear whether or not the person was asking about the distance between your fingers and the fret board or your fingers and the fret wire when fretting. Thank you!
You guys crushed it in Noblesville Indiana!!! Awesome job doing the Tornado Of Souls guitar solo Kiko!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Here's a trick, leave the ball end on each string and feed the plain ends through the tuner posts and pull towards the Floyd and cut to length allowing about an inch or so, clamp in the bridge, that way you only have to cut each string once and the ball end acts like a locking tuner, plus none of the messing around wrapping and over locking the strings around the tuner posts to stop slipping
Oh my goodness! Thank you for answering my question and pronouncing my name right 😅 awesome video \m/
This page is awesome thanks for putting the time into this...🤘🤘🎸🎸
Glad you enjoy it!
Hey dude,
I've just discovered your channel and I just wanted to say how much I love it. It's great to see a little bit of your life on the road and some cool lessons thrown in there too!
I don't know how, but at 53 years old and loving rock since I was 6 years old and playing guitar since 9, for some odd reason Mega Death passed me by until now. Your channel has drawn me to their music, and also your solo stuff, which I'll be buying in the very near future. Thank again Kiko. You rock dude🤟🤟❤️
That's very true. I've been gigging for few years but playing in front of who i know makes my head empty.
That's such an awesome and honest answer. There is nothing wrong with limitations. Thrash metal is awesome. And so is samba.
Playing with light strenght, being relaxe, that's the spot, i agree with Kiko.
I'm really happy that you are uploading videos like this! I don't know very many musicians in very popular rock/metal bands doing such true behind the scene videos! Kudos Kiko!
Kiko your a very good guitar player.
I enjoy watching you play.
Never a bad time to watch Kiko 🤘🏽
i am not a guiter player...but i love music.and i love kiko's guiter playing.other than as a guiter player,i think he is also a good man as a ordinary man and as a father.i often see his daughters during his playing in his videos...thats the best part i think ❤️
I just want to say your the perfect guitarist for Megadeth, your "jazz bossa" influences mixed with Dave's heavy metal approach is just a match made in Heaven. the Q&A is very helpful. I just want to ask since Dave said your the best guitarist Megadeth has ever had. Do you still find some Megadeth solos or riff hard to play? and does he allow you to play or modify the solo of Marty differently? Cheers!
Hi, Kiko! I've been playing since i was a kid, i'm 30yo now. Always played in bands, it was my main income for years. But being a hired musician i became tired with the lack of money security, getting out of clubs at 5am while my wife was alone between other things. So i started Music College on classical guitar, i'm on the fifth period but i feel like my study routine is making me tired of playing, i feel no more joy on playing my guitar or writing a song. It became a study object when before it was a way of me being free and creative. What advice do you have for me? I feel like i shoud drop out and change my major.
You are awesome Kiko🔥
1:33 i have a 7 string guitar (Chris Boderick model btw) and intonation of the 7th string is very hard. But is something absolutely to recommend , principally for composers. You can tune the 7th string for you get a 4th with the 6th string, this gives a new harmonic universe
btw i am just the 7 th son of 7th son
Kiko. Love your playing ! Wishing the best that life has to offer you. Love that you are so balanced as a person. How's your tendonitis? What you are doing to stay healthy. Looking forward to more incredible things yet to come ! ❤
I knew you might think the way you told about Megadeth's music..
I think the same ...and so with different musics or "levels" of music
No music is more or less difficult, to say,
each and everyone is nice and has different difficulties no matter how it seems!
Thanks for sharing your popints of view with all of us!
Glad you are in Megadeth. The "youth" in you helps. You are also really talented. Dave's talent in song writing/composing is amazing as well. You guys are good together. I hope neither ego gets too big. I would like to hear some older style Megadeth for a bit.
I cant wait to see you here in Norway next year!
This kind of stuff is so GREAT!!! Thank you Kiko!
Kiko. I have never commented on a video ever. Angels Cry saved metal in 1993. I was just watching the 20th anniversary concert. It must feel nice to have Uli Jon Roth riff on your solo on Wuthering Heights with the sky guitar. Simple minded brain, for now you succumb
Nothing changes your way
Great post, man! Keep 'em coming! It is easier to play in front of a large "ocean" of people than a small group of your peers!
Saludos and greetings everyone. I met Dave Mustaine and Megadeth in 1991 in San Antonio Texas at a Camelot music store. Clash of the Titans tour, Slayer, Anthrax and Alice in Chains. Dave Mustaine is the most humble down to earth rock star, so to Marty Friedman. This man Kiko is the perfect addition to Megadeth. Not just cause he is talented but down to earth.
You're on top, and it's a great thing to celebrate.
That's it.
Hello Kiko. I am interested in the string-setup of your guitar. I can only play fast if the strings are real close to the setup. So close that I almost have fret-buzz. How about your string-hight? Gheers
Your tourbus' kitchen is way better than mine's
I completely understand the being easier playing in front of 100's to 1000's of people is easier than playing in front of 1 to 10 people. On stage and in front of Tons of people you don't really see then critiquing you. But playing in front of 1 to 10 people you see them watching your every move and wonder, am I messing up? Are they seeing my flaws? What are they thinking about me at this moment. You feel more judged with fewer people. Up on stage its just all fun.
I never played in front of 10,000 people. But I have been in front of over a 1000. It was super fun. I bet it's a rush playing in front of sold out stadiums.
Mr Blackmore has said the same thing, its more intimate to play to a small crowd then to a big one.
Bro I just discovered you a few days ago and I noticed something really interesting!! You are left handed but you play guitar right handed!? That's really amazing, I've never seen that before
Thanks for being very interactive and showing us around your world kiko!
I so enjoy ur tutorials… I’ve been practicing my licks …again. I wish I could have had u as an music 🎵 instructor!
I had one guitar with a Floyd and I stuck an empty Tic Tac container in there while changing strings. Worked perfectly!
You're such a mellow kool guy, thanks for making all the videos, it's interesting to see your life in music.
Be well, rock on, and megadeth.
I am John Mccoy.. from Texas county Music Mccoy family... I ended up in Metal when my family is big in country music. Plus I was raised in Oklahoma . I'm 46 now.. but my 17 Year old son has a whole future ahead... I played guitar all my life got nowhere and starved .. I hope my son does better
FOR Q&A: Kiko, who are the guitar players that blow your mind and leave you wondering how in the world they just played that?
High respect for you, Kiko. I feel like you you are even greater human being and have higher heart than your musical and guitar skills... that's something to emulate for a better world.
Kiko! Could you make a video talking about the time leading up to your first performance with Megadeth and what kind of emotions and thoughts were going through your head leading up to playing live for the first time with them? Love your youtube man!
I love you Kiko you’re such an inspiration! When I don’t feel like playing I always watch your videos for inspiration!
You are the best...thanks for your sincerioty and humbleness!
And, by the way, I am so happy following the Guitar Evolution Course ,
I truly recommend it!!
Every video class is a goldmine!
Just saw Megadeth yesterday in Boston and they kicked ass!! Megadeth is definitely 1-2 levels below what Kiko is really capable of!
Stupid comment
Floyd Rose string changing tip, either block the bridge with a piece of wood or change one string at a time.
Expert Level Bonus Tip: Only change the strings that break
Master Elite level Bonus Tip: Salvage strings off of your other, less awesome guitars
At first I thought "was Kiko left handed all along?" then I realized the video is flipped horizontally
Funny thing, turns out he is. He plays right handed, but he's left handed in life
He is left handed but he got used to playing right handed guitars
@@Kiromony @Iuri Grangeiro didn't know that, I don't remember if he ever mentioned in a video about it
@@rationalityfirst yes he did mention it in a video I don't remember which though
He's indeed left-handed. I don't know if he's mentioned it in a video in English, but in Portuguese I remember him saying it years ago somewhere.
Como é bom ver você muito bem no Megadeth, mais uma vez, parabéns Kiko
Having a very correct way of fretting helps with the pressure, like you say. And having this correct hand position with your playing it helps A LOT when you try to actually play a fretless guitar for example. I have one of Ron’s double necks here and by trying the fretless I realized that I have a very “clean” finger positioning
Loving these, you make Megadeth super accessible and it looks like you guys have a lot of fun.
Thank you for being an ultra cool fan friendly person! The way you kindly answer questions shows great character! My question would be about how you handle consistently loud concert volume in regard to your hearing. I am guessing you use in ear monitor style solutions, but are there any other things that you do to limit hearing impact of loud settings? Thank you in advance! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Kiko, eu já fiz muito show pra duas três pessoas. Uma dessas vezes, tinha só um casal e o Ives apareceu também e ficou assistindo por um tempo. Entendo o que você diz. É realmente um desafio tão foda como tocar para as 10.000 que a gente não vê, hehe.
Hi Kiko, you're the best Megadeth lead guitarist I've had the chance to see live. What is your favorite song to play live? And who do you think is the best Megadeth guitarist in the band's history?
Awesome Kiko! Thanks for doing all this videos it is very fun to see the other side of the stage and to show your fans you really care! you are very authentic you rock!
Acione as legendas em português! :)
Hi Kiko
Keep on rockin! Godspeed! \m/
Thanks for the response Kiko 👍
Hi master thank you so much really!!!!
Explain about guitar tones and all please
It's all about economy of movement. It takes a lot of finger movement, a lot of dexterity, and when you're playing at very high speed your fingers are getting quite a workout. When your fingers are not hammering the strings put pressing just hard enough, you're getting more efficiency of movement. If you press too hard, especially on large frets, you will go sharp, and everything will sound very off. It's all about serving the music so you can give it your all, not spread yourself too thin. Playing guitar at a top level is like being a top-level athlete, a marathon runner, and you have to pace yourself and expend your energy efficiently.
I’ve always had people ask me if i get nervous playing in front of crowds. And, i never have, in the sense that i feel a nervous type of fear, but rather a nervous type of energy. And that energy can be your friend. Keeping it and using it makes for a great performance! I’ve never played before ten thousand, but I’ve played to a few thousand. And i find smaller venues way more fun, because you’re face to face, and it’s really intimate.
Remember, it’s all fun. All the screw ups, the cracks in your voice, and the perfect nights! it’s all part of the journey!
I’m going to see you Thursday in Jersey can’t wait
You are such a cool down to earth dude! 🤘
I have a floyd rose ibanez as well and in the begining I HATED changing the strings but many years ago I made a stack of coins and wrapped them in tape, fits perfectly in the back and works like a charm, I'm no 7 minutes record but yeah, 10-15 mins sounds about right
Baita vídeo! A única coisa que eu tenho curiosidade agora é saber se ainda há histórias das antigas pra contar, ou a memória já recordou as mais "pitorescas". Abraço!
Stack of coins works for floating a trem, too
Great Kiko. You’re the man.
Keep rocking people
That was absolutely inspirational. Your positive vibe is contagious Bro!
Love your videos. But have to mention... Your guitar tech has the best name... Keaton. That's my sons name. Just had to mention that. He's 12 and gradually trying to learn guitar. He's addicted to Rocksmith and the Megadeth stuff on there. (I've done parenting right!) He really can't wait to see you live now. Get to the UK again soon!
Hi kiko....... Sou grande fã de toda sua abra desde angra e acompanhando o seu canal desde o início.... Acredite... Feliz aqui por te ver feliz e cada vez mais realizado em sua carreira, dá para sentir em seus vídeos que vocês está realizado e caminhando para sempre em frente, você está colhendo os frutos de sua dedicação e é maravilhoso ver isso.... Um dia há muito tempo atrás, eu fiz um comentário sobre a jam que você fez com o Guthrie Govan, sobre o incidente e para minha surpresa você respondeu ao meu comentário, nunca vou me esquecer..... Mas vamos lá... Música de fundo deste seu vídeo aqui.... A maravilhosa in motion, obra prima, som contagiante sem hipocrisia falando..... Você tem um grande fã..... Abin Finger....Menino muito talentoso que acompanho também.... Entre outras músicas suas, ele fez um cover desta que achei sensacional...... Gostaria que você algum dia pudesse pontuar um pouco mais deste garoto..... Com toda certeza ele te admira. Abraço. Obrigado.
Hello Kiko...from México..mi great admiration 😃👍
My issue has always been strangling the guitar lol. Then again I am a drummer haha Kiko, keep up the GREAT work my Friend.
LOVE your channel Brother.
kiko, regarding the first question.. what you tought it was
the question it was a great topic! in english is call the economy of movement
See you TOMORROW in Jersey Kiko😀😀
for me it is not so much nervous,it is excitement to perform live to make people smile.
Question for your next q&a: how do you deal with hand/arm pain? Lately my arms and hands get tired and hurts more than some years ago. Granted, I'm old, and im a programmer so i use my hands a lot, but still it should be less than you playing a tour. Thanks for what you do!
Get a powerball gyroscope, it will fix your pain in no time.
This is great Kiko very interesting! Thank you. See you in St. Louis
Yes I definitely want to experience that playing live rush!
"Limitation breeds creativity"
Kiko, I am new to your channel and enjoying it very much ! so thank you very much for your time. There is a tool that you can buy called a shredneck trem block, but to me the other methods ... cards battery etc. work as good. Also you can use the cover plate from the guitar as well. I have not searched all of your videos (yet) so you may have already done a video about my question ... but I wish you would do a video about adjusting the action on a floyd rose set up. Thanks again and I wish you well for the rest of the tour ! I like the action to be as low as possible without fret buzz ..........
I still have a cassette Angra-tample of shadow
And i think it's the best album ever.
There.. you explore music a lot.
Love these Q&A
"You guys have to experience that playing in front of 10,000 people...😃😉" that is the dream of my 16 yr old son for sure!
Tu é muito gente boa, Kiko. Muito obrigado mais uma vez por trocar ideia com seus fãs e por trazer toda essa experiência de músico de banda gigante nos ensaios e na estrada e nos shows.
Saw Megadeth in Boston last night it fuckin rocked!! Can't wait to see yall again.
Hello Kiko , I’m up here in Canada I play electric guitar , you’re videos are fun to view how do you like playing with Mega Death ? I hope you are having fun and enjoying touring , especially on that nice tour bus and with good family in the group keep rocken my friend all the best Trucker Kelly have a good one man ya rock on 🤘
