    It's crazy that Kiko and Paul (Gilbert) both are monstrous pickers, yet, they actually swear by the 2 opposites: Kiko plays flat and parallel avoiding the "scratch" pick tone whereas Paul plays always with an angle just to get THAT "scratch" tone every time (as a cello he describes it)....More amazing though is that both are super articulate , clean, fast and awesome!!!

    Yeah. I noticed that. But I think Paul plays in that way because he is almost 100% a rock/metal guitar player. So the scratch sounds amazing in his style. Kiko is a rock guitarrist too but he has more jazz/Brazilian and Fusion influences. Some styles where guitar is played in clean tone and the scratch sound is not the more requested. Whatever, both genius guitar players

    Marty Friedman has the weirdest picking technique ever and he has a fantastic tone and can pick really fast! That goes to show that you can pick the strings pretty much any way you want, as long as you believe that what you're doing actually works. I find that very inspiring! :)

Kiko first intended to pursue a career in instrumental music by playing Brazilian Jazz / Fusion. However Angra appeared in his life and the rest is history. So I think Kiko has more of that language in his musical vocabulary. But the truth is that these guys are masters and they can play almost everything hehe

I have to be honest, that initially I thought: Oh, no, Kiko, please don´t tell me you are one of those guys who think there is only ONE right way to hold the pick (there are way too many great guitarists out there with various grip techniques)..but then, you got me!!

    I've tried your picking position and I can say it is amazing. I will just add that, as an intermediate player, tone is not the biggest benefit for me. Having the pick/plectrum flat keeps hand much more relaxed and the pick position makes accidentally touching nearby strings more unlekely. I immediately improved my spread and cleanliness!!! Valeu irmão!

    I went to school for classical piano as a pretty tense player. It takes work to undo but it is definitely a critical step. I'm trying to get into more advanced guitar and notice the same tendencies. I can promise that putting the time in (no matter how much it takes) to loosen up and eliminate tension in your joints from the shoulder down will make you an infinitely better player. I don't know why this is, but I can assure you!

    There is no doubt, the parallel position is better for articulating the evenness of sound. If you don’t hold the pick in a parallel position to the strings, you induce more drag on the pick and that creates inconsistencies in volume, tone and possibly timing, too.
