How to Improve Stage Performance - Q&A #37

[@WyMustIGo]

Hi Kiko! Just wanted to say it is very cool to see someone like you talk to the fans without being condescending. You're talented, honest, and a kick ass player who clearly enjoys what he does! Rock on, forever!

[@MarcDevero]

I like how you say that consistency is important and makes the soloist or live performer feel more comfortable, Kiko! \|/

[@mikesanders7712]

You just made my day bro - no fake guitars or parts - I’m a musicians and it drives me nuts that so many bands are playing with tracks and only playing the minimal on their instruments

[@Crunch104]

Excellent advice! Thanks. Some people are just too boring to watch standing there like a tree. lol You are a true pro and an amazing artist.

[@heey_George8904]

I like how Kiko convine humor and the chill mood and keeping with the subject. A Professional right!!

[@F.BERTOLOTO]

[@claudioricardoshow]

10:57 - Kiko Chad: if any mistakes happened, blame computers not us, next question.

[@kikoloureiroofficial]

well : )

[@adamjones6252]

Love this channel Kiko, I really appreciate the way you try to really answer the questions in a very relaxed way. Super cool.

[@mikeholt5260]

Thank you Kiko for the videos you post, you are awesome 🤘. Also thank you for sharing your backing tracks on KZbin. I enjoy playing to them even though I don’t always play the correct note, lol. I really like your technique

[@japekki666]

Hi Kiko! My question is how you remember songs after recording new album because now its been quite some time already when you wrapped example the upcoming album of course you rehearse it before the tour but is it hard to remember how did you actually play it note to note etc.

[@aninternetuser4306]

I'd like to know this too. I recorded one song and I already forgot most of the exact notes

[@larry8lo]

Queen of the Night is an amazing song! It was on my regular playlist rotation in the 90's. I actually prefer the non-orchestral version because it's more raw, but I had to get it on Napster (90's again!) because it was impossible to get Angra CD's in the USA in the 90's.

[@krisstieghorst7415]

Thanks for the Q & A today. I think for professionals or advanced players a large part of stage presence comes out naturally in the way you play & being able to hit the floor marks on stage ( where your to be standing and when...) most important thing is making contact with your audience. That's a challenge in itself in a large arenas for any performer. Thanks for throwing " Queen of the Night " out there, definitely checking that out... 👍 hope to see you guy's in Peoria ( no jogging on the south side ) Boa noite 🖤Kris IL 🦋 Q: How did you come up with Sertao 👍from Open Source ( what's the story behind that piece....please & thank you.)

[@jackclements2163]

Never practice only sitting down folks, then go to a gig and expect things to feel good. Everything will change with posture. Practice and rehearse as you mean to perform!

[@rafaelmuniz9866]

Kiko...mostra tocando ENQUEUE muito foda!!!

[@byrondormus898]

One of the best guitar performer on stage is SYU from GALNERYUS🤟❤💥

[@aninternetuser4306]

Syu is awesome

[@akidk1499]

Ohmura too He has amazing stage presence. Saw him with Friedman once. Both were tearing it up

[@tiagostieler7733]

[@michaelmercedes5118]

I remember asking you this question on Instagram 😏. thanks for making a video about it 😁 obrigada✨

[@IanWaye]

Thank you, Kiko!!

[@SalvoVecchioGuitar]

Hi Kiko, will you ever be involved in develloping a Kiko signature plugin?!

[@rapaelsulfo6391]

QUESTION: Hey Kiko, you are a multi instrumentalist, composing for both vocal and vocaless music. Have you ever consider composing for movies or games? Or have it happened or had you any propositions? That is something I would like to see. Your way of thinking/composing and not necessarily being rock/metal. And also, how it would link with audiovisual. Thanks for your videos, and keep it up!

[@PabloLink74]

Hello Kiko. What stuff you've been listening to lately? Or you don't have the time while touring.

[@coyotejaguar]

Hi, Pablo. I know Kiko has his newsletter emails where you can get that kind of information. Kiko always tells what he's been up to, listening to, reading etc. I hope you'll like it. I don't remember how I signed up for his newsletter, but maybe someone here knows it and can help. 🤘🏻

[@daimong4553]

hi Kiko, since you've mentioned Dave's guitars, I would like to know, in your opinion, does Dave's old Dean sound difference than his new Gibson when you are rehearing and performing? if yes, is the difference huge, or just subtle. Thank you very much :)

[@sherapdjazz1084]

Hi Kiko 👋 welcome back

[@rvmusictv0122]

Thanks a llot Kiko!!!

[@josuemartinez9688]

10:45 tell Lars

[@ohtakemiho5744]

Hi kiko. Many thanks for a so nice video. I played a classical piano and electronic guitar 🎸 with a metronome 🎵. Salud de japon 💗.

[@пажылаякультяпка]

hi Kiko, greetings from Russia! when will be any news about new album?

[@american_psycho1147]

Hey Kiko, do you ever play through live amps/cabs when you are home? Or do you usually play through your computer and monitors?

[@assiopio9025]

❤️

[@MYDOGSNAMEISTANNER1]

What do you have on your pedal board when you play on stage?

[@issacdarnal]

Quad cortex.

[@goncalosantos5268]

Hi kiko, could you give me some advice on how to find band members

[@darockguitar1]

Hi Kiko, what are some scenarios where it’s better to NOT play a solo based off only the major or minor key throughout the song? In this way, you’re using modal interchange. I’m having trouble understanding how to apply major or minor scales over each chord in the progression.

[@Music-zl1go]

How to get decent guitar tone, vocal tone, drums tond, bass tone overall band sound on stage, we have a rock band in Nepal and participating in band competition. The big issue is unable to get overall decent presentable band sound on stage. We do not expensive music gear nor do we have own sound engineer. At Nepal we don't have so much money nor access to best music equipment. During practice our band sounds good enough but not pn stage. Do you have suggestions to get better cohesive band tone on stage with the cheap equipment that we own?? Your ideas are highly required here.

[@rohitborooah4695]

Hi Kiko, what is your opinion about Chris Broderick? Is he among the best guitarists in Megadeth’s ever changing line-up?

[@bryanjacobs1423]

When composing, do you ever accidentally come up with a riff or solo that you think is new but is actually from a previous song?

[@kenyonjohnson5595]

how do you manage your long hair and make it look so nice? my mom says I struggle with this haha

[@marcoaurelioa.4394]

The computer can go wrong, Kiko cannot.

[@RafaelzVasques]

Have you even been on a long holidays 1-2 weeks and were not able to play the guitar? If you did, did you get long to come back to your "level"?

[@ryandubz1760]

🤘😈

[@aninternetuser4306]

I was about to ask about the patches 😅

[@MegaMave]

2:20 then you can think about what's for dinner. :D

[@mitchu9677]

Dear Mr. LOUREIRO, do you ever play your guitar on the toilet?

[@felepi]

Question: what's your favorite wine? 🍷

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

do you get gibson guitars. ??? free

[@betterworldcommunity2844]

The World Needs A Hero. What do you think?

[@AshesFromAChild]

Hey Kiko loves the videos, I was wondering what happened to the guy that moved Dave Mustaine's microphone in Phoenix 2021 concert, also wanted to ask if you guys had this experience of people jumping on stage and doing this ?, thanks Kiko

[@churrascodesalsicha]

Kiko “you know” Loureiro

[@vinnyhorapeti2461]

[@aussieas6655]

Does Dave like banter or is he getting sour with old age?

[@dankovt6255]

Bruh! That first name ‘James Ngullie' is not pronounced n-gu-le, it's actually ngu-lie, ‘ngu' rhymes a bit with cow'ss moo.
