I don't understand why guitarists would restrict themselves to just one genre. So many incredible styles out there to explore

[@riel8808]

They`re lazy to practice i think

[@floatingdisembodiedhead8975]

Yup it's like listening to one type of genre only, so dull.

[@WillGGG]

Hmm, where is that video of BB King or Al Dimeola playing metal? Or your point is that players who prefer metal are limited if they dont play other types of music but those who have spent their lives perfecting their jazz or blues sound and style are perfectly ok to keep playing the same stuff and they are amazing?

[@latemetal8962]

Totally agree man

[@demifiendrussia]

@@WillGGGwell, because metal is somewhat simplistic in that sense. The only way you can advance your playing is to play faster

I'm envious of your ability to seemingly effortlessly play anything you want, from screaming metal riffs to soothing jazz and everything in between. It's just amazing to watch a master that's perfected their craft have no constraints on their ability to express themselves musically; the guitar is not a barrier to anything you want to play. Much respect Kiko!

[@kikoloureiroofficial]

Thanks for your message

[@cristianorentroia6607]

That little isolation of the picking on the right hand completely saved my technique. One of the best advises for picking consistency and string change. (A huge part of the guitar puzzle).

[@DannyJimenezMusic]

I have always thought that jazz musicians are the most complete, capable of playing other styles. Regarding the sound: I think "It's not the guitar, it's the guitarist", or that's what I tell people when they tell me that I can't play fast and heavy things with my fender telecaster.

[@raxes32]

Definitely, just because they play jazz doesn’t mean they can’t shred metal!

[@raxes32]

Robert Stabler indeed Megadeth has proved this twice and the results were phenomenal!

[@supernothing77]

Can they pick like Scott Ian or James Hetfield?

So two words on the tele metal thing. Or rather, a word and a number. John 5. Tele metal all day, every day with a little country thrown in once in a while.

Dude, I respect all genres of music when people are playing their instruments but I just never could get into jazz for some reason. But I do agree it’s important to learn other styles. I learned the classical fingerpicking method in my early years and strangely enough, that enhanced my guitar solos.

Kiko, I think you have a leg up over many players having been soaked in Bossa Nova early on. I lived in Brasil for a year after many vacations but sadly had to leave as I couldn't make a buck to stay (before KZbin). All I had to do was sit on a beach, have a couple of Skols, and listen to MPB (rip) playing a little older music. It brought a tear to my eye and I realized at that point what lies in the heart of Brasil. Muito saude par vc e seu familia. Entendo o decisao pra sair Megadeth. Familia esta todo.

Great quick tips!

[@RanzatoFlaminio]

I tried to develop a jazz sound and I got it by playing the chromatic scale, instead of 7 colors you have 12 and if in your improvisation you use wisely these extra notes then you get a jazzy sound, you need to practice a lot it to get accustomed it but then with distortion you get even a more fusion sound. Of course by "you" I don't mean Kiko but the general audience and hope this comment can help...
