How much practice is too much practice? - Megadeth behind the scenes

[@silly_G33se]

Please never stop posting your jam sessions/warm ups with james and dirk! There is always at least one groove that gets me hooked, may it be metal, jazz, fusion or classics!

[@WramTheVinylGuy]

for real, toooo good not to post!

[@prodoommania4157]

Wil do!

[@bumpofdeath666]

Who is this guy

[@christopherxanadude244]

I LOVE THAT HE CALLS IT "ARKAN-SAUCE!" (cuz Murica is the dumbest place on earth) (EX: we have FIFTY cities named "Salem" --- what could go wrong?) (There's only ONE Tokyo in Japan and Paris in France! TWO would be INSANE!) ..... ....cuz it's either "ARKAN-SIS" (ala Kansas).....(plus that's a band Kiko knows!).....OR it's "KANSAW" (aka Ar-Kansas, aka ark-an-saw"!!)

[@christopherxanadude244]

I want MORE MORE MORE of the jams!! We were hoping the new Megadeth was going to PUSH METAL FORWARD.......since Kiko and Dirk were both super-musicians.....(you could've gone MORE jazz metal!!) .........(or ART metal) ("Master Of Puppets" is the GOAT.....BECAUSE it was so EXPERIMENTAL and broke so many rules!!)............but it could be 30 year old thrash. We are HUNGRY FOR THE NEXT PHASE OF METAL......not the past. SABBATH WITH DIO.....was fucking AMAZING.....and was VERY DIFFERENT than Sabbath with OZZY (also amazing)!!! GET IT?? IF ANYONE IS GOING TO PUNCH THE WORLD IN THE FACE with INNOVATIVE metal, it should be this iteration of Megadeth!!! HOW ABOUT YOU GUYS GIVE US ONE SONG that's ART-METAL that pushes metal FORWARD! Kiko was doing some INCREDIBLE art-metal shit in this video, solo! ONE TUNE OF THAT! ! Or the trio (without Dave) could EASILY work up ONE killer jam, 20 minutes long, that is nOT MDeth.......and post that so we can enjoy them GETTING WILD AND CRAZY! Megadeth is TOO RIGID. Let's see these cats go MAHAVISHNU LEVEL!

[@Oilid]

After Marty Friedman, I cannot imagine any other guitarist than you anymore in Megadeth.

Interviewer: Kiko, how much do you practice? Kiko: Yes

[@bonesandrolls6402]

There is nothing better than, after being practicing guitar, watch a video from Kiko like this one, and take the power to continue :)

[@TheRealChetManley]

Imagine if the classic rock icons where as professional about their craft as you guys. This is the best version of Megadeth. You guys are all locked in and take your jobs seriously. I love it!

The end jam could go on forever.

[@velosouk]

Again, how much would I like to see a heavy-jazz-fusion-everything trio project with these three guys, for fun, for the fans, they are awesome together! This may just be the best Megadeth line up ever!

[@christopherxanadude244]

ME TOO! When they have downtime, they could easily whip up some killer jams / improvs / instrumentals and give us 20 minute jams as videos here! No hassles! Kiko is doing some REVOLUTIONARY guitar bits here! I WANT ART-METAL! I was very disappointed in the new MDeth. I was expecting it to be a BIT more cutting edge and dangerous. Less retro. I want these guys to push metal (and rock) FORWARD!

It seems that you love to play together. It's cool to see that this is not just work.

[@jwhowsezjwhowsez5448]

Watching your Videos it shows how and why your so successful! Love the inside look and sharing the journey! Everything very positive and no doubt your inspiring allot of young guitar players! Just a matter of time we start seeing interviews from successful musicians who List you as inspiration. Interview with Rick Beato was great! The way he explains and goes into music as a producer and teacher is similar to how you go into and explain it from a successful touring Musicians perspective. Much Appreciated!

[@hagwagtoob]

Drums and bass locked in. Kiko you're all over the place!

[@captainshiner42]

That bass tone was fucking sweet!

[@saxonrulesrock]

Love your channel Kiko . Your positive attitude and playing are to be admired. Love the practice jam sessions with James and Dirk.

[@williamsalvi]

Kiko te adoro muito você é minha inspiração na música Quando estou desanimado nos estudos de guitarra lembro de ti e da aquela vontade na hora de pegar o instrumento na mão e praticar um forte abraço e Deus te abençoe. Kiko Loureiro um dos melhores guitarristas do mundo.

[@treadgold69]

Thank you for these practice jams with your band mates Kiko, greatly appreciated. The feel, ebb and flow is moving

[@BataraKado]

that jam at @6:43 is absolutely gnarly, the tremolo bar with the bluesy bass riff was sick!

[@bassmasta9117]

Thank you for the Saturday videos Kiko! Hope you and everyone in MEGADETH had a great Thanksgiving🦃🦃🦃

[@cancelbubble6535]

The moment you start feeling good about your 3 notes per string legato runs and you see Kiko's latest video, lol.

[@RinconFreaky]

You and Kirk could make the most EPIC, progressive Death Metal band EVER

[@rockinvegan1765]

Guitar Hacks is incredibly good, eye opening. Would have needed that 25 years ago. Thanks for the opportunity to learn from you!

[@gaberox1]

I'm so impressed by that first 7 ish minutes of practice. Inspiring.

[@bojamisinglauhol2]

Kiko is the reason why I wanted to see Megadeth again. Saw them in Hershey PA and he did not disappoint.

[@krisstieghorst7415]

Thanks for sharing the practice sessions with the guy's Kiko, alot of fun to watch.

[@glide_hook]

Kiko playing Bolero on the guitar, even if only for a brief part, amazing!!

[@brandonjackson5865]

I’ve never seen anyone use the trem bar like that and making it sound like a sax or brass instrument slurring notes, pretty cool

[@ItsRyan265]

Chris Poland

[@brandonjackson5865]

@@ItsRyan265 cool I wasn’t aware. I get excited whenever I see a technique that I have never seen before or see something I’ve heard but would’ve never guessed how the player made the noise . Dime’s artificial echo, I think he called it a fake echo in the solo in Walk blew my mind the first time I saw him do it and I ain’t seen anyone do it as smooth as he did.

[@ItsRyan265]

@@brandonjackson5865 of course! I remember being blown away by Jeff Beck, who also treated the trem bar that way.

[@azharkhan8796]

Really inspired after that warm-up. Your tone is very nice with those Dimarzios. Has that singing quality even on the bridge pickup. Appreciate you sharing these.

[@fukuuaintmydaddy5533]

Thank you Kiko you are a scholar and a gentleman. I love watching you guys practice it's a raw and magical thing. I have learned so much from watching your videos as always thank you for letting us in your 🌎 and never change who you are Brother. Keep on 🎸.

Hey Kiko! Thanks for a look inside the machine my man. Never gets old, always looking for your next post. Amazing jamming as always. Rock on!

[@aquilarossa5191]

Lots of practice is a good thing and long as you are not straining. What can be dangerous is lots of noodling after the practice. When you are warmed up and your hands are able to do whatever the brain is telling them to do. Being in the zone in other words. That place is addictive. Its fun and I for one do not want to stop. I keep playing sometimes for hours past the point my hands began aching. The next day my 52 year old hands are aching and locked up so bad that even injecting WD40 into the seized up joints would not get them working. It might take a few days for them to recover. Not good, but it is hard not to do that, because it's fun getting in the zone like that.

[@fenrysk]

this is so motivating. i think once i get free time i'd like sign up for the guitar academy

[@rick.ferris.666]

Great video. When I read the title I was reminded of a Michael Schenker interview I read many years ago on the subject of practice. He said he never practices; for instance, repeating scales over and over again. He said he gets his chops in trying to write new songs, melodies, solos, etc. To a degree it looks like you do the same.

[@kamaboko1]

@what about the situation Tell that to Kiko who has sited Schenker as an influence of his.

[@MrMasapoika]

Even your practise routines are so seamless 🙏 i love the variation on your techniques 👌🇫🇮

[@damonstewart70]

Listen to his DYNAMIC PICKING RANGE!!! It's so dynamic, by varying timbre on specific passages or notes they can be set (the timbres to be varied dynamic) mathematically or within any pattern thus giving a more singing melodic

Whenever your not on tour, can you some day post practice routines for right hand articulation. I had a work accident 7 years ago, and suffer nerve damage in my right arm and haven't been able to have good right hand articulation and technique ever since. But after watching you for so long. You have the most relaxed right hand posture and technique I think I have ever seen. And would love to learn

If that TV behind them is a live feed of the stage while they practice, that makes me extremely anxious and I didn't expect that at all lol. I think it's because Kiko is so laid back casually turned away and jamming when I'd want to be glued to the tv to make sure I don't miss when I go on stage.

Even if i know for a long time now that your guitar skill is out of this world, it never fail to amaze me! You are a true inspiration for me, to keep playing guitar whatever it takes, whatever the pain i can feel in my hands and my fingers (i suffer of a rare disease). i've put a life goal in owning one of your signature guitar one day, i don't know when but it will happen :) Thank you, simply.

[@fishsurfer1]

I find it funny when people ask artists if theyve always been gifted. The answer should be, if you play or practice 8 -10 hrs a day, are you gifted or just working really hard? That was from a question at a master class to Pat Metheney. I think most like you, put in the work. Which was his answer as well.
