A lesson in noodling. I love it.

[@FatalizedGuitar]

Make this a series do minor and diminished as well if you have time! This was really great. It shows the importance of notes and how they interact, when Steve Vai says he would sit on notes for ages and have them “become his friend” get to know those notes. I now know this is the kind of thing he meant. Very helpful Kiko, thanks!

[@johngregory7329]

Hi Kiko, You are not only a great guitarist you are a even Greater teacher. If you can teach a 69 year old bass player how to play guitar better you must be a genius. I would love to meet you and just talk about music or jam . You definitely have excellent communication skills. Stay safe and well and have a great 2022. Your the best. Signed John Gregory/Zepbass from Munster Indiana. U.S.A.

Fellow hoosier!

[@krimzo7778]

3:15 completely blew my mind.. You are a god Kiko, thank you for sharing this!

[@therealone7814]

I've always been wanting to expand my playing with what I want to play and this really help so thank you so much Kiko your a legend and obviously a guitar legend 🤘🤘🤘

[@twistedasylum8579]

I’ve been playing for about 10 years, and I’m decent, not amazing but I play in a band, we’re putting the final touches on our first album, should be done by Feb. - Mar. But I’m completely self taught (outside of friends giving advice) but never have taken lessons. In those 10 years I’ve watched so many KZbin videos and I have learned more from 2-3 of these Kiko videos then all of the others combined. Thank you Kiko, you make this look so easy! One day I will be at your level! 🤘🏼😝🤘🏼

[@Jimmyd_Rocktalk]

I like how you break it down to make it easier to understand...Rock on!

[@reynaldocuevas6543]

Excellent songwriting tool for those who think they can’t make music without theory, or those who feel stuck. You are such an awesome teacher!

[@jrossellometal]

I have tons of knowledge in music theory and I played that sort of stuff since I was an amateur but I didn't fully understand it until I was told about things like hybrid chords, polychords, chord scale theory, triad pairs or polytonality. If I had explored only the terrain I was given I would have spent years of using only a very limited approach of tonal harmony with a very strict voice leading. I think that theory brings you to the next level but only when it's combined with a genuine intuition. There are a plenty of things I've found years ago but that I understood in a theorical way much later. I know that at the beginning you're taught theory in a more limited way for historical and pedagogical purposes but you should be told about that. If you tell a kid that he/she (for example) shouldn't writte parallel fifths but you don't tell him/her the whole context he/she, then, will believe that it can't be done no matter what. As Adam Neely says, "a little bit of music theory is dangerous". Only when you learn of a wider context and understand that Bach had very different rules from Stravinsky and both of them from John Coltrane, you actually free yourself from music theory stigmas.

[@groovecicle]

Time to get my own guitar out and always follow along when you do this stuff, honestly it helps !! Thank u :)

[@ArnulfVonMetz1]

Best Guitarist ever this guy 🧡

[@toddventura7191]

Kiko has got to be both one of the best guitarists and teachers on earth. Love these videos!

[@qramone9909]

just discovered your channel, and i'm so happy !!! love you and the guys so much 🫂💝

[@Crovax]

5 minutes in, and this monster of a man sounds better than 14 years of me with just two chords....It takes real talent to take two chords, six notes and play them the way you play...i will do the exercise, even when i play mostly for myself, not thinking of making new music or something, it's just my hobby, but i guarantee i will not sound close to what you sound lol...

[@rykard72]

Hugely helpful video! It just goes to show that with the right teacher learning guitar becomes so much easier. Keep it simple and take your time to explore the different sounds your guitar makes. Kiko you are not only one of the greatest guitar players but also a great teacher. Thank you so much.

[@rhoads3120]

OMG, Kiko this is one of the most amazing tutorials I have heard, I used a lot of these when I younger, but nobody got the tune, I was around people that didn’t know, I love it, keep on rocking buddy!♥️😎🤪

[@filipcierpisz]

I don't know what i like more. That exercise or your guitar sound

[@anthonytauriello4975]

So I started playing drums and guitar when I was 5 (got my first drum kit on my 5th birthday) I never took any lessons, so I learned by watching and playing along to my Zeppelin and Kiss Records...(to start) later in life I learned about Hawaiian style guitar c refer reedy to as: Slack Key. Starting with the 6th string D,A,D,A,A,D. Everything I knew about guitar to that point was almost useless, this allowed me to be totally free “Exploration” and play with no rules, no expectations, and no boundaries.. in last September I finally picked up a bass ..(why not?) interestingly 3 weeks later I found myself having a 1 on 1 lesson with non other than Billy Sheehan... this was such a profound experience that I now am completely in love with Bass and everything Bass... I decided that I now after 42 years (on & off) of playing I want to understand music in a different way. So, I’m now teaching myself ...with books, scales I never completely learned & modes... I aim to one day have another lesson with Mr. Sheehan and he see my enthusiasm and improvement... ultimately be in a wiring band and doing what I feel I was born to do. Thank you Kiko for also being an inspiration... if only I could be working with you, it would be an endless education and ultimately I would be a better musician each day

[@suvarnachauhan951]

Studying some Kiko’s solos , phrasings, licks helps a lot , it helped a lot in my lead compositions.

[@thaddaeuspremkumar3560]

this was awesome, kiko!

[@Wanshankupardiengdoh]

Kiko my Question is" How to Create Harmonies by using as little music theory as we are available to "?

[@hunter00143]

Harmonies are difficult to write with no theory, basically take a note and go up a major or minor third within the scale, 6ths also work

[@juanalfredocamachoavalos4623]

Amigooooo se te quiere muchísimo

[@coloremusicale]

Ciao Kiko, sono queste le armionie che adoro. Accordi semplici, molto vicini di diteggiatura, ma diversi tra loro Fantastici. Complimenti per come spieghi, semplicemente GENIALE. Grazie per questi approfondimenti. Dall'Italia.... Tanti auguri per un fantastico 2022 Ciaooooo

[@kikoloureiroofficial]

Grazie!!

[@juliocarloscorrea3745]

você é genial irmão. admiro muito o seu Trabalho. tem facilidade para ensinar. Deus lhe abençoe SEMPRE

[@kikoloureiroofficial]

Obrgado

[@fernandobotello1190]

Great as always Kiko!

[@williamnaaden5776]

It's so intimidating when you hear finished songs and how great they sound! This really helps show the beginning process and it's so wonderfully done! Thank you Kiko!

[@jonnyfive1982]

Love it Kiko! Thank you for sharing. Great stuff. Thanks for helping others appreciate music more and appreciate sounds and beautiful melodies and chords for what they are.

[@samansalman2880]

That was awesome Kiko! You're theory videos are extremely eye opening man! Gotta learn different triads and practice this🤘🙏

[@blackwolfgaming676]

Thank you for taking the time to do this kiko

[@rockysullivan4097]

Thanks so much kiko!

[@coloneltrumpman]

Great approach and angle to teaching, learning and exploring music. Gotta love Mr. Kiko!!!

[@skobywankenobi]

Awesome lesson Kiko. Really great example of focused noodling for generating melody ideas

[@EvilspeakGaming]

Nos mandó a practicar, así no más! Sin teorías locas

[@davidspressaodelimajr6358]

Awesome! Interesting way to think. Looking forward for the next one.

[@AleArzMusic]

This video is pure gold. Thanks for sharing Kiko, you're a legend

[@johnrao1368]

Aloha from Kauai Kiko! This is a great video. I love that you kept it simple and I found the exercise itself to be creative and inspiring musically. Mahalo!

[@edwardheins2930]

[@gustavogoulart9912]

Musicality improved☑️

[@masacron]

This is THE GREATEST LESSON on how to understand "the way to learn" music. Gracias por tu compromiso para difundir y enseñar musica. Y por supuesto la humildad y el entusismo para compartir tu pasion. Saludos desde Chile. OBRIGADO !!

[@evandroviolao]

Aula sensacional 👏👏👏

[@korky-7349]

Thank you Kiko, Your a guitar god and a great teacher

[@lmactapout]

This exercise reminded me of Du Monde off your Open Source album. Thanks for showing this exercise Kiko! Can’t wait to try it.

[@t.ortegamusic]

Amazing lesson, thank you!

[@deadbc77]

Beautiful lesson Kiko .

[@FausColinoAlonso]

Que bueno,una idea genial .A practicar se ha dicho,Sigue kiko ayudandonos a desbloquearnos con mas.Gracias fiera.

[@JohnnyJ4]

Edit So as exemption this time I decided to play before watching the video. Should have done it other way around.

[@seanarnazwalters7239]

Kiko, you are a legend❤

[@flavy1000]

Jamiroquai would say"Travelling without Moving..." jajaaj Nice to explore just by enjoying music...is kinda travel and expand your own expression But this that seems so obvious, is what most of us forget (I include myself) ..just because we want to" know".. Or go for a song, we want to learn..but not get in contact with our innate own musicality.. The only teacher I 've seen along the years that really encourages us to do this, is you, Kiko...!! And I'll never be grateful enough ! I really admire, and love you, and your music, and your Megadeth stuff, too.. Thaks, forever! And have a great 2022 , you and your family!

[@alevgmola]

As a former piano student turned to drums, I find your approach to music (and theory) always helpful. Gifted (and hard worker). Super.

[@Foxmaxima]

Kiko, a great player… a great mentor 👌

[@mkivy]

Good morning sir! How are u? U are such a talented man. I just bought another of ur new albums! I so enjoy getting lost in your sweet Melodie’s, signatures, times, and keys. Thank you sir. Bless u and ur family.

[@bokoyy]

Wooow. This is very very informative. I love how you present it based on feelings/emotions. Thank you so much, Kiko!

[@LReite2080]

Thank you again Kiko, your the best I enjoy your help

[@mariocastellaneta1228]

Great lesson Kiko 👍 thanks for sharing 👍

[@yukistudio2799]

Excellent Video!!!

[@sampiter8056]

Incrível Kiko! Você é uma lenda!

[@juanalfredocamachoavalos4623]

Kiko amigo eres genial!!

[@aurox502]

Thank you very much, a treasure!!!

[@simonedavanco497]

Kiko: Ah! Eu:😍😍😍😍

[@prabalnepal9119]

Thank u kiko its really helpful

[@MB-rc8ie]

Whoa that's very cool! I loved megadeth as a teenager and now I can learn from megadeth guitarist on KZbin :D After learning some riffs I realized that I can't really play anything "out of my head". So now I focus mostly on internalizing caged and triads and it is such a simple idea that I can actually include in my practice. BTW I was on your live show in Poland and it was great.

[@yawanlepcha6648]

Love the way you play man ..❤❤

[@MatteoGusman]

Kiko I want you as my guitar teacher!!! super clear, super comunicative! very very good lesson! Cheers from Italy!

[@strattonbran8051]

Nice clear way to learn how different notes sound with each other. Thanks.

[@alexiwildchild7937]

MUITO incrivel !! Nao sei dizer mais me fez lembrar Eric Johnson.

[@andrebrazischewski436]

Thank you kiko that was very helpfull for me 😊

[@bodhiboy4775]

I can’t wait to try this after I get home from my soul sucking retail job. This is probably the most interesting exercise I have ever come across. Thanks, Kiko!

[@yngwieibanezdelgado7123]

Thank you kiko 🙏

[@frankorobinson1540]

Allright kiko your on my top 20 list of rock guitarists keep up the hard work ,your a inspiration ,theory and the neck is a somewhat must know ,but imagination and the human ear is the best 👌 to help you on your way to nirvana,

[@markusschaffer2418]

Really helpful, thumbs up!!!!

[@darius9882]

The A-Bb chord change always reminds me of andalusian sounds ;-) Amazing lesson! Grazie mille Kiko!

[@krisstieghorst7415]

Thank you Kiko! 👍 Just caught this, very useful & perfect for beginners! " Escaping " caught that right away! One of my favorites...Very clever throwing in " Crazy Little Thing Called Love" in there too! 5 riffs / 5 positions.... Great Stuff today! 👍 Many Thanks Kiko! ( I'd love to see you just plug in and play " Black Ice" in this format using basic root notes) Stay safe & try to keep warm! Boa Noite 🖤Kris IL ⚡ ❤

[@Marsha0099]

Uma boa aula, adoro estes videos, as minhas aulas de guitarra são assim. Acrescento de mais possibilidades de estudo, faz a diferença na aprendizagem onde tudo começa a ser repetitivo. Obrigado ajuda bastante, venham mais videos destes :)))

[@selvajoe98]

Excelente. Obrigado!

[@LucasRodrigues-nb1mk]

Ótimo conteúdo! Quase 20 minutos, que maravilha de vídeo

[@Gsteinmuller]

Precious content! I’ve been following you since my first steps in music ( 2004 ). You rock!

[@CarlosDaniel-cz5oj]

Sua música dremlike, me trouxe uma paz incrível, aquele modo lídio no início. Você equilibra perfeitamente o virtuossismo com o freeling, é por que gosto de você e das suas canções.

[@UnpleasantDog]

Muito obrigado! ❤

[@mazeofamazement]

Hey Kiko, great video! To get more theoretical :) this concept is called 'triad pairs' right? I was wondering if you could demonstrate how to use these for soloing over changes in a future video? In particular maybe changes that are common in jazz like 2-5-1s.

[@eddykidd]

WOW!!! I am "trying" to play along on my Ibanez with Kiko and I swear I just got better. Thanks dude!!!!

[@davidannett3322]

this would be a great series, i like this way of teaching

[@AlexandreAbreu1]

Nunca toquei guitarra, mas curti o vídeo do início ao fim. Muito bom Kikão!

[@FirdausRockstarX]

Wow.. I will never find knowledges like this accept here.. TQ kiko 👍

[@ErfinFaz]

Kiko is the Best! Realy realy the best! I'm big fans from Indonesia. Thank you so much Master! ⭐

[@benkio]

The progression A - B immediately triggered me: "THIS IS FLYING IN A BLUE DREAM!! from Joe Satriani" :D

[@kikoloureiroofficial]

Totally

[@comedelage1282]

Very inspiring !

[@guillaumegayot807]

Thanks Kiko for the inspiration! That exercise alone justifies the use of a looper 🙂

[@markgueren9633]

Wow this is so cool!!! I was just doing these exact exercises.. learning the sounds… also … I don’t know theory… but I DO know the sounds.

[@MrPeter924]

Very good song. Playing guitar 🎸 👍

[@DomesticTruther]

I think I've done this instinctively, and I hear you on the creativity... but I rushed back into playing after 20 years, went out got a Jackson with a FR, I had one before, long time ago, but forgot everything. It sat around not setup. I'd play it but no fun, you gotta know. Finally, I decided to either trade the Jackson and a Gretsch Falcon I have for a different bridge, but I took one last shot, sucked it up, got the tools out, found everything I needed to know on YT, watched the videos. I learned how to set that bad boy up, block it off, and most importantly WHY and HOW it works. I think I'm at that point now with theory... my mechanics and coordination progressed so much because I wasn't concerned with theory for a while. I just wanted that guitar in my hands as much as possible. All day and night some days. I felt like the more I played, the more right I was in the head, and coming from where I did, I'll take it. I was a life long addict. My wife and I got clean together, almost lost our kids at one point and probably would have I'd we didn't have family. This is all so much more to me than music. It's a new and beautiful way to live. Love to you and yours, to everyone out there. Over 5 years clean

[@Zamblinger]

Thanks for this, was informative and inspiring. My brain seems to tune out whenever I hear complicated music theory/chord naming progression.

[@cletussea-ray944]

Kiko…Thank you!

[@woodward_alan]

I've been working on the triads and chords, and wasn't sure where to take it next. I will try this approach next :). Thanks for the ideas.

[@pazzieblacksmithstudio]

I love your simplisity to explain 😍

[@user-vv3yw4ct4g]

練習練習、努力努力

[@the_real_mikex2567]

Great video🔥🤘🏻 becoming comfortable with uncomfortable sounds and training your ear to be accepting of sounds that aren’t very vanilla and may sound dissonant at first are expensive sounds in my opinion.

[@ohtakemiho5744]

Hola maestro kiko. I stadied music 🎶 theory and guitar 🎸 sounds. I enjoyed it. Thank u 🙏 From japan 😘

[@MateusRodriguesGH3]

The Kiko musicallity is amazing!

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

This is ear training it seems to me. It's kinda how I learn a song. I just listen and remember. ♥️🤟

[@car_daniel]

This is great for ear training!
