Haha! 😅 I have something in common with Kiko... I had to choose between guitar and video games as well when I was a teenager. When I was 15, a friend of mine wanted to sell me his console for a cheap price but my mom said I'd have it only if I improved my marks in Maths. I didn't... And the next couple of months, I told her I wanted to take guitar lessons. I've never been interested in playing video games since then 😁...
I’m self teaching myself and I’m a stickler for not missing any practice sessions. As for me every practice session draws me closer to my guitar goals.
Thanks for taking the time today, play by ear for fun( mimic), I agree with picking a song you like....practice the riffs in pieces 1st then stitch the rest together like a quilt.
When I was just became a teenager I practiced almost every hour I could. A road map and philosophy like from Kiko often shares would have improved the quality and outcome! Never to late and loving the journey.
[EN] It’s quite fun that every now and then, a new mith appears about Kiko teenage years playing guitar. 😂🤷🏻♂️ [PT]É engradado que vira e meche, e aparece algum mito novo sobre o quanto o Kiko praticava durante a adolescência. 😂🤷🏻♂️
Thank you for such great videos. They’re so helpful, wholesome, and have helped my guitar playing SO much! Seriously from the bottom of my heart I just wanna say thank you for the tips, and the great music. We love ya Kiko
Hey Kiko, thank you for your motivation! I have always tried to follow the steps of the best metal guitarists during the years, and now im following you. Honnestly you are the most versatile, and also humble player out there. Open source is a masterpiece and it has brought my playing to another level. Thank you for that and dont change. You are awesome!
I actually found that a proper practice routine (playing to a metronome and studying out of a book) is more rewarding for me than just noodling. I think it's that because at the end of the practice session I feel like I've accomplished something. It may be something small like play a sale run cleanly at 5bpm faster but it's still progress :-D
35-45 Minutes a day is essential for me And yes i agree Video Games take up way to much time so Yes Live More real Life make more art and play more Guitar...😉
Kiko, I just started my journey very recently... Your tips and advices are always helpful, you are an inspiring musician and great guitar player, keep it up 🤘
Same for me I decided that I would not become addicted to videogames as I am not good at them ,jaja... But that I would do anything not to be appart from music...And I am still no sorry for that.!!! I can't shoot anyone at Counter Strike but that is not to bother my life =) "Enjoy the process"! That is something we do forget, really... Great points ! That was really the best answer you could give us , Kiko!!
The best way to practice is to play! Don't worry about playing your scales and arpeggios just play to your hearts content, of course if you want to be better you will have to be practice but try to put the practice into a solo to make it more fun and enjoyable
You are as good as how much you practice, it does not matter what activity it is. Kiko always knew it, and from beginning he practiced more than an average pro guitarrist, that is why he is at a top level.
You are right sir..most of the time I found myself practice some machine gun stuff all the time..but now I was towards playing what I know exactly what I'm playing with..
I just picked up an electric guitar to learn.. 2 hours a day didn't feel like 2 hours... its 10 minutes xD SO MUCH FUN.. I'm 28 years old... am I too old? I only learned accoustic guitar back in my teens day and it broke (doesn't have money to repair or buy a new one) and I've been learning violin for a year now but I wasn't able to find joy in it(it feels like its too hard or maybe lack of something within.. idk), so this is the first time I actually feel happy to learn new stufd.
Alternate picking takes a long time but its worth it ... Took Paul Gilbert 6 years to alternate pick the way he dose clean a crisp , Just like Kiko you are great picker right beside PAUL G.
Hello kiko... I always enjoy your videos. I think you trully are a breath of fresh air. However ... in this ocation I feel that you did not hit the mark with the question at hand .. the roots of the question is very to the point ... how many hours should I have to be putting in to be able to get to a level like or similar to yours . That's the essence of the question . I know that correct practice is 100% more important than just playing for hours things that you already know . So this is where we need to get to ... how many hours a day of strong metronome playing and how many hours of learning news techniques and theory to be able to get you mastery levels . Out of personal experience I can guarantee it's not half an hour. Day ... if all you play is half an hour a day... then all you will ever play is wonderwall . I'm 52 and I'm not terrible at the instrument .. I'm ok ... and I have dedicated uncountable hours . I hate to bring anything negative as you are the most charming and positive person out there .. but.. tell it how it is kiko it takes oceans of hours !!! Don't mislead them with the half an hour thing or that is up to them ... if you want to reach kikos level.. you will have to break your back with that instrument in your hand . That is the truth... as always kiko... you the man
I will answer this in another Q&A. Cool? But quickly here: If you are a top player you probably didn't count the hours because playing is a necessity. It' s an obsession
Great advise Kiko!Same answer I would have given.I admire your playing a great deal!Saw the video with you jamming with Guthrie when your guitar hit the floor😗.Man I cringed!!Strap lock break?
Kiko you are always my inspiration thank you very much i always fallow your stape thank you very much guruji it's meant my teacher.... Love forever india north East Nagaland Dimapur
You inspire me so much My Hero Kikko Loureiro. How i hope to cover one of your songs. So i can prove that I'm one of your Super duper Biggest Sick Fan. But I don't know if i can 🤣🤦♂️ mabuhay Kikko loureiro. From Philippines. 🇵🇭
Kiko, pode falar como conseguir bom timbre com material barato? Meu equipamento todo eu comprei com 700 reais, e do contrario do que dizem faz um som até que bom (só não da pra microfonar). Mas ainda que bonito, eu queria que tivesse mais brilho, algo que eu não sei como fazer.
anybody who is reading my comment, just keep that in mind and believe it, I AM THE NEXT ONE OF THE WORLD'S BEST GUITARIST! note it kiko, hope to meet you someday...
Probably can make more money nowadays being a good video game player vs guitarist. Been playing guitar and video games for over 20 years, they are both fun wastes of time.
Acione as legendas em Português! : )
what a phrase: 'anything you do just enjoy it'
i was lacking enjoying but continuously pushing myself to become someone...
Thank you again Kiko. You are a phenomenal inspiration. I'm over 50, self taught and you continually inject new enthusiasm into my playing.
his face when he talks about his "class schedule" for guitar practice is so gd wholesome. dude deserves everything he's accomplished.
I am 52 and started playing the guitar some years ago. Your hints and guidance help me to self-motivate me. Muito abrigado Kiko!
Kiko! 3:40 in Sertão from your last solo album brings a tear to my eye every time. Just wanted to say that. You are a legend! Have a nice day!
Thanks a lot!!
The best recommendation is defenitly training every day. I learned that at the hard way
Haha! 😅 I have something in common with Kiko... I had to choose between guitar and video games as well when I was a teenager.

Nice story..!
Looking good kiko, greetings from Philippines👌
I’m self teaching myself and I’m a stickler for not missing any practice sessions. As for me every practice session draws me closer to my guitar goals.
I use shiny gold stickers, silver,green and red .😁👍. I need to go buy more cool stickers.
you're a guitarist you wanted to be, because u are well organized and not distracted.. very great example, for kids and for all guitarists
Thanks for taking the time today, play by ear for fun( mimic), I agree with picking a song you like....practice the riffs in pieces 1st then stitch the rest together like a quilt.
Agreed. That’s how I learned a majority of the songs that I love.
I absolutely do recommend avoiding videogames.😂 ... oh, and 99% of people, too.
Ahahaha. There is that as well
Jajjajajaja yes, that is for me ajjajaja
Psychosocial XD But yes, it's about speaking words , or...speaking music..many times!
@@kikoloureiroofficial Jajjaja yes!
When I was just became a teenager I practiced almost every hour I could. A road map and philosophy like from Kiko often shares would have improved the quality and outcome! Never to late and loving the journey.
Thanks Alan!!

Obrigada Kiko! Essa pergunta sempre vem a minha mente e sempre estou sem respostas! Muito obrigada por falar sobre!🇧🇷🤘Tenha uma ótima semana!!
I practice an hour a day, hard to get started sometimes but enjoy it after I get going. Just wish I was a teenager again....
nothing wrong with playing video games, but when you reach 1000 hours in a game,
you kinda wish you spend that time practicing guitar instead. hahaha
Yeah, i only play video games at night since i cant play guitar that time
Kiko, the one and only question I have. How to be as positive and charming as you are? Is there a specific technic for that?
Thank you for such great videos. They’re so helpful, wholesome, and have helped my guitar playing SO much! Seriously from the bottom of my heart I just wanna say thank you for the tips, and the great music. We love ya Kiko
Hey brother just subscribed 👏 love your content keep them coming, I’m totally in love with the guitar thanks for all your help much appreciated 🎸🤘
Very good...i hope i will utilise it

kiko : "art is not something that you do to achieve something or to get a job"
also kiko : "get a job, and become rich by being an artist"
I actually found that a proper practice routine (playing to a metronome and studying out of a book) is more rewarding for me than just noodling. I think it's that because at the end of the practice session I feel like I've accomplished something. It may be something small like play a sale run cleanly at 5bpm faster but it's still progress :-D
Excellent!
the high level of concentration is very important and play slow correctly to be fast
Sir kiko thanks for the advice n your humble answers..
35-45 Minutes a day is essential for me
And yes i agree Video Games take up way to much time so Yes Live More real Life make more art and play more Guitar...😉
Kiko, I just started my journey very recently... Your tips and advices are always helpful, you are an inspiring musician and great guitar player, keep it up 🤘
Happy to hear that!
would love to see you play classical guitar on this channel
Love the new intro!
Same for me I decided that I would not become addicted to videogames as I am not good at them ,jaja...
But that I would do anything not to be appart from music...And I am still no sorry for that.!!!
I can't shoot anyone at Counter Strike but that is not to bother my life =)

Now you are a master guitar player we recommend u to play a video game❤ u wud love it
I would gladly trade every hour I ever gamed for practice on my guitar. Great advice!
For me videogames was the thing that convinced me "I want to be a composer" :P
Thank you Kiko for the best Advice !!
You're such an inspiration.
My daily work out is organized with PDFs covering the topics you talked about

Cuidado aí com seu kikinho, se vazar o Davie te põe pra fora kkkkkkk
This Video is so Rich
Fantastic!
Não vai falar sobre o Caso da Demissão do Ellefson ?
Não né... Todo mundo sabe quem tomou a decisão e porque. Fora que é um assunto MUITO delicado...
mentalidade de campeão desde guri! um genio
I also avoid any kind of games and try to study 1 hour a day. It's working! =)
Video muito esclarecedor Kiko, muito obrigado por continuar fazendo videos assim !!!
No video games... Rigth... No distractions, Rigth.... I will just try these... Great..
Golden Words ❤️❤️
Kiko: you have to live it, breath it, eat it.
One
Thank You❤❤❤
Thanks mestre ! 🙏🙏🙏
friends? that one won't interrupt me...
kiko sacrifice not playing video games to be a great guitar player.
He is such a cool guy 😎
Wise words
I have one question
Are you preparing your next solo album?
Thanks for tips but what about right hand tendency to fatigue or wrist pain?
Kikooo!!!
É uma pena o David Elefson ter saído. Indica o Luiz Mariutti. Que é monstro.
Cara... Fui pego de surpresa com essa notícia hoje. Não fazia ideia que isso tudo tinha acontecido esses dias! É realmente uma pena.
Já pensou o Mariutti ou Felipão Andreoli com o Kiko no Megadeth!? rsrs Custa nada sonhar.
Hi Kiko, I really be a full time musician but I find it difficult to practice anything during lockdown. How should I get back at it
I dont practice a lot but i do play a lot at home around 5-6 hours a day . And my mom is really angry cuz of that cuz i am a student .
Reage ao vera cruz do Edu Falaschi!
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Thanks
What is the song playing in the backround at the middle of the video?
good lessons here
You look like michael bolton man hehe
Just practice one day everyday and you will be a great player
What Kiko model is that in the background?
This man here is a guitar nerd.
Kiko, pode falar como conseguir bom timbre com material barato? Meu equipamento todo eu comprei com 700 reais, e do contrario do que dizem faz um som até que bom (só não da pra microfonar). Mas ainda que bonito, eu queria que tivesse mais brilho, algo que eu não sei como fazer.
🤟🤟🎸
nice
🔥🔥🔥💙🙌🏻
Damn, videogames really mess me up
anybody who is reading my comment, just keep that in mind and believe it, I AM THE NEXT ONE OF THE WORLD'S BEST GUITARIST! note it kiko, hope to meet you someday...
Just 5hr a day...
40 hours a day
Ling Ling wannabe
Probably can make more money nowadays being a good video game player vs guitarist. Been playing guitar and video games for over 20 years, they are both fun wastes of time.
I practice until I get bored, it can go for hours
You want to get better? You need to practice, at least 10,000 hours in 6 months like Rick Beato.
I feel sorry for Ellefson
Oi Kiko. FIZ UM COVER SEU , TÁ LÁ NO MEU CANAL.
