The Guitar Academy is amazing!! I've learnt so much and my playing has become so much more focused. I highly recommend it for anyone who's serious about putting in the work and improving quickly.

@@NubsWithGuns I understand what your saying man, I felt the same way but actually the way its structured is to build a very strong foundation of basic techniques from the very start before creating bad habits regardless of your level. I would actually say its a great place to start for someone. you'll have to start slow and at lower BPMs but that is totally okay!! The other day, i had to lower a tempo down to 30 BPM just so i could get my fingers and picking hand correct. For example if you need to work on Alternate picking, the way Kiko has built his course is so that anyone at any speed can start to put in the ground work to get more control and much faster with an effective and strategic build up over time. If you want to do it. You can do it man!

I started Kiko’s Guitar Hack and 7 Factors during COVID and then transitioned to The Guitar Academy when it came out and these are exactly the courses and the teacher I needed out of my 18 years of playing but never had any structure and feedback.

Doing what you're doing is so much work, The tour, the promoting, the practice, these videos, Q&As, the Academy....Just kow that we appreciate it SO MUCH! youre an inspiration. So happy youre using your platform to keep us all going. THANK YOU, KIKO!

Kiko keep the good work. I would like someday you speak about the gear you used in the 90s and how the evolution in musical equipment changed you as a professional guitarist. Big hug from Argentina.

thank you kiko, very informative. You inspire me to re-grab my guitar after a couple of weeks of break.

Thank you so much for the advice kiko! I will definately incorporate that into my practice routine.

Super down to earth. Kiko your parents did a wonderful job of raising you. Your demeanor inspires! Thank you! Flg az.

@@navaskin Chris Poland is on the system has failed (phenomenal return of Megadeth sound), united abominations and endgame are also worth the money imo.

Regarding the event in Barcelona, i was there on the front row (in front of James, so, the opposite side of the stage where Judas Priest was playing), and i could not hear their guitar tech playing and sound checking. I imagine it's totally different from the stage or another place in the audience (specially close to Priest stage), so it's totally unrespectfull of the band playing and the audience as well. Btw, for those wondering, there was a quick sound check by Megadeth crew, but after the previous band has finished. Great show, hope to see you again soon on stage. Thanks a lot Kiko

Kiko, Have You (as a band) ever thought about recording a show with symphony orchestra? I would love to watch such show and have it on DVD / BlueRay. I think that this is the only thing I miss soooo much in Megadeth’s discography. Songs like “Symphony of Destruction”, “In my darkest hour”, “A tout le monde” or “Conquer or die” would sound amazing!

Hi there Kiko, can't wait to hear the new album! How did you liked Felipe Andreoli performance with Sons Of Apollo, amazing not? As you steping on Marty Friedman and Chris Poland shoes, there's nothing easy at all to step on Billy Sheehan shoes, far from that!

Always a pleasure listening to the FAQs. Thanks.

Just saw you this weekend at Rocklahoma, MEGADETH FOREVER! Changed my life!

What more to say! your videos are always awesome! as your music and of course your amazing 🎸 playing! thank you

Thanx Kiko for all you re doing for us and for the love of music ciao dall’Italia

I love Kiko. Can't wait for the new album!

I’m so thankful for this channel.

Hello Kiko I can’t wait for your future concerts in Italy, with Megadeth (two months ago I’ve seen you in Verona with them) or by yourself. A couple of questions: will you one day do a Blues disk? And also, do you like the research of the “analog” sound? I mean, trying different guitars, pickups, analog effects, tubes and so on, to get a “dynamic” sound? Thank you so much!

Thank you for these behind the scenes and Q & A videos Kiko! So Dave has been talking a lot in interviews for the new album about how refreshing it was working with you and Dirk on writing the new songs and he always goes on about how well you play. How has Dave's influence and being in Megadeth changed you as a musician? Did it stretch you to places you never thought you would go as a songwriter?

if this guy wasn't so articulate, nice, sober, and fit, he would be a Rock Star !!! lol

Thank you kilo for the videos you inspire me to play guitar you are my favorite guitar player

My man that first solo on celebutante had me rewinding like 5 times trying to figure out what you were doing! Awesome song! Awesome riffs! Love the new album!

Amazing that you take the time to do all this and interact. Thanks.

You’re awesome, Kiko- thank you for sharing all your honest viewpoints and experiences.🤘🏻

Very informative video! Thanks for amazing job You're doing Your fans! Can't wait to hear Your new solo album... Open Source is amongst my favourites solo albums! Greetings from Poland!

Kiko man, thank you again for the useful advice, it is all so precious!! ...just play, for days!!! He says....holy words! In any case it is a journey, so much so, an endless journey....as one can always improve....mine have been going for over 20 years and I intend to play my guitar till the very last day. Thanks for your time and have a good play 🤟

Great episode, good question's with confidence building answers.🖤🦋

Thanks for the advice and comments Kiko. Completely agree on Dave's response to the roadie sound check. ✌️ Keep up the downloads, appreciate your time and effort. 🤘✌️☠️🏴🇦🇺

Strap height live is such a big thing. Thank you for these videos

Tudo de bom pra vc Kiko, muito sucesso pra vc e pro Megadeth ^^

Good advice 🙏

You’re very inspiring. Myself, having been a huge Metallica fan for life, found myself drawn to Megadeth solely on your arrival in the line up. I even took up drums and usually play after I noodle around on guitar. I never thought of using drums as a warmup FOR my guitar practice/playing 🤯

Kiko, Hyrule is the Kingdom in the very famous video game The Legend of Zelda. And it's pronounced High Rule ! Hero of the story is named Link. "High Rule Link" ! Just letting you know before you have a "dad moment" with your kids who will think you come from Mars for not knowing this or something. Consider this tip from me as repayment for all the nice guitar tips you're giving us ! Post scriptum Bonus Cheat-Sheet : - The red plumber is named Mario - The blue hedgehog is named Sonic

lots of questions looking for those secrets, there is none...its practice, every day, a lot.

congratulations on the new megadeth album! it's fucking amazing!!!

easy fix for the wrist pain is to train both flexor and extensor muscles or you will develope inbalances in the wrist.

great content 👍

Kiko, thanks for all the great videos. I always find something in them to improve my playing. Do you ever use anything other than humbuckers?

Always practice standing up. I'm 59 years old and don't even have a chair in my music studio. All my music students stand during lessons. Just finished a video where it looked better if I'm sitting which created a new challenge for me. I had to learn how to play sitting down!

Thanx for all these awesome tips master Kiko. Can you tell us which guitar tuning you enjoy playing?

"in Megadeth, because the songs are easyier to play..." Only Kiko can say something like that lol.

Goood Q's n A's verry importent

Porque não tocas mais suas músicas ca? Ou solos do Angra? Ensina a tocar alguns solos que acha difícil. Obrigado

When I want to play something like arpeggios or a melody over a chord progression I start by playing the root note of the chords in the rhythmic pattern and then at the one of the next repititions I try picking the notes of the chords in a slower rhythm like quarter notes and repeat that and slowly transition to faster notes or synchopated rhythms in order to get the feeling for the timing of chords. After many repititions I kind of get that feeling and try to noodle around...

When sitting down I like to put my guitar like classical guitar players do, then you get more of a "standing up" feeling while being seated.

There was some very good questions this time around great thinking. Standing up compared to sitting down was especially interesting. Kiko doesn’t have a small beer gut so he can’t relate. Most of my guitars feel very good standing up but my Gibson SG feels a little off. Naturally the neck wants to dive down when not held so this doesn’t help. Tough nut to crack with an SG for me and that sucks because it is beautiful.

About the JP roadie.. Great reply! I also agree with Dave 🤘

Kiko, essa vai pro Q&A... No solo da música Killing time, você começa com lick muito parecido com um começo de um vídeo antigo de uma música chamada Dream circle, que vc toca com uma tagima preta. Foi daí que tirou a idéia?

I've been practicing standing up so much, I actually have a horrible time playing sitting down now.

Hi Kiko, love the channel (and Megadeth) - quick question - when you are writing and recording solo material is there anyone you always play new stuff for because you really trust their opinion? If so, what kind of feedback are you looking for? Thanks

I ordered the new ]V[EGADET]-[ album on cd through the website yesterday and I also purchased a t shirt 👕 . It'll be a happy day when that package arrives!

Q&A: Have you ever witnessed any fights at a show you have played with Megadeth

Kiko, great channel. I always look forward to your videos. As a musician who’s starting to get more into the video editing and content creation side of things, I’m wondering if you edit your own videos or have someone to do them now? I’ve noticed the production value increase recently. When you’re on tour how much time are you spending working on videos (outside of actually filming content)? Thanks for being such a positive role model as a musician and human 🤘🏼

Great vids dudas, love your content I wondered what your writing experience has been like in Megadeth. Do you come in with fully fleshed out songs ? or just send over riff ideas to MegaDave ?

11:32 "because the songs are easy to play" hahahahaha genious

"Megadeth songs are actually easy", also his last video: tornado of souls jam

Show na boa great!.

Hi, Kiko! I’ve been following you here for a couple of months, so I’m pretty new on this channel. I’d like to start learning to play the electric guitar (I tried some years ago with the bass, but it didn’t end up that well…) and I was wondering if there’s a certain kind of guitar that you’d recommend to beginners, since I am completely clueless about that 😅 Thank you in advance, hope to see you and Megadeth very soon!

Kiko, how do you play those licks that go from 0 to 100, like let's say you just played a melodic phrase and you want to go on a fast descending run, how do you do that right of the bat? My hands stutter a moment before playing the fast part (usually a descending scale of 3 notes per string) additionally, to avoid that stutter I usually do a trill and start the picking on the next string. Also, hyrule is pronounced high-rule (that's from a videogame called the legend of Zelda)

Hey Kiko can you talk about beginner solo improvising? I'm new but play ALOT I love it but have a hard time just jamming a solo out.

Kiko is it true you had to duel 5 guitarist in Brazil in one gig they tried to duel you at the gig..then you played with crocodile foot and won the duel..? This legend they speak of here in Argentina

Question. How many changes and how complex should your music be that you write? Is there a limit to what you think is normal so to speak?

On the road you have a guitar tech to take care of your gear. Do you do all of the maintenance of your gear at home, or do you have it done by someone else? Love the vids, please keep them coming.

eu não curto angra, mas eu te admiro e te respeito d+ chefe!
