Kiko is not normal hahaha We can't even say "he is a shredder who kinda knows his way around brazillian music", no, he is a master in many different styles. I'm using the word MASTER here. As a Brazillian guy who's been listening to him (solo, Angra) since my teens, it only makes me happy to see him in a major band like megadeth. Even though i'm not a megadeth fan myself, the guy deserves a spot with the big ones.
I love Megadeth, and I guess Kiko brought a lot to last Megadeth album, cos his Brazilian style makes Megadeth sounds great, as Marty Friedman did it before. For your music, THANKS KIKO!
"All that and he's left handed playing righty !!!" I'm not convinced that matters too much. When I was first learning to play I remember having similar difficulty trying to play either lefty or righty. It turns out that with guitar you need dexterity in both hands to be able to play well. Not that Kiko isn't an incredible player, because he damn well is.
@@luluskywo But not that crazy. Gary Moore (R.I.P.), Dave Kilminster, Billy Corgan and Mark Knopfler are just a few of the - I'm sure - numerous other guitarists who are natural lefties that play right-handed. And I'm a freak of nature: I'm right-handed but I started play left-handed (like Eric Gales) when my lefty aunt began teaching me; I just copied what I saw her doing. Then after a broke my left hand in a bicycle accident, I began playing right-handed as my doctors thought playing that way would strengthen the fingers on my left hand, which it did.
Yeah playing guitar requires dexterity in both hands. The typing movements most guitarists do with their left hands aren't inherently easier than the picking motion done with the right. They're just different.
Him being in Megadeth was the best news ever. He brings back the unique stuff into Megadeth that Poland and Friedman had in their solos. AND it shows that Dave gave him lots of room to compose, as Dystopia sounds like Megadeth, but there's new stuff in there that hasn't been done in that band before.
I legit started to tear up when I saw Kiko play Tornado of Souls a couple of months ago in Mexico. His stage presence and energy is out of this world! Easily the best guitarist I have seen live.
awesome addition to the megadeth family,this guy is great and his philosophy is spot on. in order to expand our minds and music we need to be as diverse as possible. you can hear jazz in metal,blues in metal,country in metal,Spanish an Egyptian influences in metal and it goes the other way as well.the brazilian style of music sounds great, its very moving and mysterious to someone who just has listened to north american style music his entire life.
All of this you wrote is represented on "Temple of Shadows" by Angra. Pure diversitiy with a heavy touch. Specially when you listen "The shadow Hunter" or "So Near So far" from Aurora Consurgens album. Kiko and Angra always tried to mix sounds from all over the world with metal.
Kiko is more than Megadeth this is just a way to more people know something about him. I'm a big fan since the 90's with Angra, he is just a Real Master. Listen Angra -Carry On (1993)
so nice to see a shredder (one of the many musical styles he has mastered) do a demo video without stacks of gain reverb and delay. a testament to what a class act he is.
Great player - I like the idea of the thicker S body for his signature guitar. Seems to give it a little more body. Some great demos, the brazilian stuff is excellent.
Ibanez used to have this S model with the thicker body, it was called the SA series, 22 frets tho. I used to own a couple, I'm keeping one. The necks were different to the S series. Nice guitars.
I understand why Mustaine was a little bit afraid of him, haha. I'm a big Angra fan and I know this guy is a really big guitar hero. But Mustaine is one too, and he's a smart man. He knew this were THE guy for Megadeth as soon as he listened to him (as it was Marty Friedman). I love Megadeth and I love Angra. I'm happy!
This guy is a machine and brings the "raw" back to Megadeth. So technical, but not the Chris "robot" thing to the 'Deth. Not saying that Kiko messes up a lot, but it's a "raw" sound (he certainly does NOT mess up!). Hard to describe with 7 beers in but that raw guitar sound sound (and feeling)... he nails it, every time. I'd go as far to compare him to Marty and DO NOT forget Al. I love this guy and what he's brought to my favorite band. In my top 3 Megadeth guitarists... so Dave.. stop switching guitarists already. They're not going to stick around (how long is Kiko in the band?)... and seriously, he's pretty awesome. Stick with it, KILL CANCER, and give us years of of awesome music.
Kiko is amazing, but it is fascinating how till this day he uses Marty's solo in "Tornado of Souls" as an inspiration. That solo remains legendary. The bends and phrasing is unparalleled!
i follow kiko for 10 years and i didnt knew that fact also; the fact is, here in brasil is almost impossible to find any good instrument for lifted handed.
Same here. I started playing my dad's guitar upside down, but then I realized I was scratching the guitar since the pickguard was on top. Good memories.
Yup but it's not that uncommon. Gary Moore (R.I.P.), Dave Kilminster, Billy Corgan and Mark Knopfler are just a few of the - I'm sure - numerous other guitarists who are natural lefties that play right-handed. And I'm a freak of nature: I'm right-handed but I started play left-handed when my lefty aunt began teaching me; I just copied how she played.

@@ipojuca22 O cara recebe a melhor oportunidade que poderia aparecer na carreira de qualquer guitarrista e vc esperava que ele não aceitasse? Vc tem que lembrar que música também é carreira, e vc precisa se destacar pra poder pagar as contas.
Kiko is a class act...... World class guitar player!......English is his second or third language.......lol. Thanks to Megadeth for hiring him or few of us in the U.S. would even know his name, Thanks to Reverb.com for hosting this........Kiko is jaw dropping. Respect. He uses more of his brain than the average human, lol
Um puta orgulho ver onde ele chegou... Um país sem incentivo a boa música, muita dificuldade para se manter como músico e hoje a realidade dele é o sonho de muitos. Isso prova que esforço e dedicação sempre é o melhor caminho, infelizmente aqui ele nunca terá o reconhecimento merecido e muitos não sabem nem o tamanho do feito que esse cara conseguiu.
Kiko is the MAN!!!! I have been a huge Megadeth fan for over thirty years. Megadeth's Dystopia album in my opinion is their best album since Rust In Peace. I have become a bigger Megadeth fan than ever before since Dystopia came out. Kiko is the best thing to happen to Megadeth in a long, long time. Dave Mustaine is and has always been an amazing songwriter, and with Kiko's guitar playing and songwriting they are better than ever. I am also a huge Angra fan and love everything that Kiko did with them. Kiko is easily in my top five favorite guitar players ever. I am really looking forward to Megadeth's next studio album. I really hope that this is Megadeth's final lineup because it is the best one since the Rust In Peace lineup.
Amazing!he's just doing an alternate picking thing at the start and that even sounds outstanding!who needs a neck haha😉good to see Poison was the cure😉
Wow. Dude is actually left handed. Even today, there are noticeably fewer options when you're a leftie, but back when he was starting out, left handed guitars were even less of a thing. Never stopped him from becoming a goddamn virtuoso.
Ahahahahahaa. This is whats make Kiko an oustanding guy. Look at this warm up...its a total lesson in it...and the best is that he can make a dificult exercise and Share it in a easy way that even a beginner understand
Holy shit, I've never seen an interview with him, and had no idea that he was brazilian. My life is a lie! lol. I always expected he would've sounded like Ellefson or Mustaine when talking
This guy is fucking awesome
Kiko is not normal hahaha

FCValle true.
I'm the same situation like you, i love Angra and solo, i don't like megadeth but is cool he is in haha

Total beast. Like him way more than Broderick
I think Broderick is great but I agree
Agree
@@danielsdonuts1648 chris broderick is a classical guitarist too, watch some vids of him playing classical compositions
Hes deffently a Great fit in Megadeth.. Great guitarist..
@@maxjudge020 Okay but Kiko fits better, I don't think you can argue that.
"I'm left handed". Unreal! I really like the way he has that guitar specified. Great playing!
I spent 3 minutes making sure he was playing a right handed guitar after he said that. What the hell man, this is crazy.
@@luluskywo But not that crazy.

Kiko is something else!
He sure is!
No he's kiko
Him being in Megadeth was the best news ever.
He brings back the unique stuff into Megadeth that Poland and Friedman had in their solos. AND it shows that Dave gave him lots of room to compose, as Dystopia sounds like Megadeth, but there's new stuff in there that hasn't been done in that band before.

he is a really great player, not just a metal player who doesn't know anything else but metal
Got to meet Kiko last week in Nashville, and he was just as nice in person. Killer player!
weird. he's usually a pain in the ass. his former bandmates used to call him 'Lemon'. lol
there were even jokes about who would fire who from the band. kiko or dave.
I work at Carter Vintage Guitars in Nashville and he came in and was checking vintage stuff out. Super nice and approachable in my experience.
Zach Broyles maybe he was in a good mood. I know a couple of people who were his students in the 90's that said the same thing I said.
Pedro Iago People fucking change dude. It's been some years since the 90s haven't you noticied?
awesome addition to the megadeth family,this guy is great and his philosophy is spot on.

His warmup is pretty insane xD
His solo albums are ridiculously varied in style, tasteful and revolutionary. I've been a fan since 1997.
The best brazilian guitarist and one of the greatest in the world, keep rockin Kiko!!
Kiko, congratulations! Have a great time in US, but we miss you playing with Angra. Greetings from Brazil!
Bruno Felix huahua acho que ele ainda fala português, cara.
kkkkkkkkkkiiiiikiki
O Marcelo tá melhor no Angra do que o Kiko, muito mais criativo e inspirado.

Very well, the brazilian stuff is excellent. They are attentive to world music too, see Mateus Asato! Great guy.
He is my favourite person on the planet.
I understand why Mustaine was a little bit afraid of him, haha. I'm a big Angra fan and I know this guy is a really big guitar hero. But Mustaine is one too, and he's a smart man.

This guy reminds of Alex Skolnick from Testament because of his versitality. Insane guitarist.
Kiko is a whole new level on guitar...
He’s so humble and likeable. My fav Megadeth guitarist since Marty.
This guy is a machine and brings the "raw" back to Megadeth. So technical, but not the Chris "robot" thing to the 'Deth. Not saying that Kiko messes up a lot, but it's a "raw" sound (he certainly does NOT mess up!).

Basic exercises were never this much interesting, hell even the right hand stuff was fun to watch, lol
I think the mixed chromatic exercise is the most fun
Kiko is so great, I love him, such an amazing musician, and his signature guitar is so fkn cool too, the neck on it is AMAZING
Kiko is amazing, but it is fascinating how till this day he uses Marty's solo in "Tornado of Souls" as an inspiration. That solo remains legendary. The bends and phrasing is unparalleled!
solo in temple of hate is bettter and more difficult -- ruclips.net/video/LYLAIjJTWVg/видео.html
Kiko is an incredible addition to Megadeth! A real virtuoso, and knows all kinds of music, not just an awesome metal guitarist.
hes left handed ? omg !!! 😱😱😱

Aí é brasil poha!!! orgulho brasileiro !!
Kiko Loureiro with Ibanez and Marshall. He's at a higher level now. OMG
Beautiful playing.
Kiko is AMAZING!!!
Kiko Loureiro, orgulho brasileiro!
Orgulho de ele ter largado a banda dele pra ir tocar com os gringos? Orgulho eu teria do Chris Adler, que tem a banda dele como prioridade.
Mano, os amigos de banda não tão achando ruim, só acho que você não tem direito.
O fato de ele ter ido tocar no Megadeth traz publicidade aos trabalhos do angra.

yeah, we are, bro
Wait,he's lefthanded but plays with with his right hand?Wow,that's even more impressive,Gary Moore was doing the same.
what is the connection? so I am. but I suck at playing guitar.
So has Steve Morse since he began.
greekfreak1980 i do that too
Nels Cline does that as well
Joe Satriani and Herman Li and Mattias Eklundh are also leftys who play righty.
Oh dang he played a song from his fusion album hell yeah. Such a sick diverse player.

3:07 "basic stuff" lol..this takes YEARS to master..
Basic does not mean easy
Megadeth's fan here and Dave did a great job finding Kiko. Such a killer guitarist.
Kiko honring Mozart Melo with the "L" exercise ! and that exercise Just with thr right hand string for string ! incredible see all this again

I saw Kiko at the Baked Potato in LA. He , Virgil and Anthony was great. Liked it so much , saw him again there!!

Poison was the cure is one of the greatest song sever written by Dave with a insane solo by Marty. So much awesome in 3 minutes
Admirable musician!!!
Every not he does, all of them sound beautiful and addicting. What a human.
Extremely humble, just like Gilbert.
Kiko is one of the best guitarist I've heard in a long while this dud knows his music and is not confined to jusy one genre

Meet Kiko in Ohio a while back at a guitar clinic. Super nice guy, amazing player!
This guy is pretty good. I only have about 9 million more hours of practice to get there...
Talent and humility seem to go hand in hand with this guy. Loomis too.
Ibanez was my first guitar! And i love that brand!
Tô sentindo que a vida diária com gringos tá melhorando a fluência no inglês do Kiko. rs
Mozart Mello Exercises ... Kiko is his eternal student ...
