Kiko se inscreveu no curso do chimbinha e está mostrando o que aprendeu.

I think I got this idea from a Jordan Rudess' video I saw online years ago. It is very similar to what you are doing here. I recorded a simple backing track, maybe just one chord, for example A minor. Initially, improvise creating a melody with just one note (avoiding the root and the fifth). For example the minor 3rd. Try to be as creative as possible within those limitations. Then keep going improvising with only two notes (example: minor 3rd and minor 7th). Then take it to another level and improvise with three notes (example: minor 3rd, 7th and 6th). At this point you should be able to come up with something really interesting. You get the idea. Of course, you then can expand the exercise using a chord progression, instead of just one chord, but following the same principle. That helped me to get to know the fretboard better, to be very creative with very little, to improvise better, and it helped me to realize that you only really need a few notes to make a beautiful melody.

[@FuadiansyahSamsuri]

This should be the top comment. Thanks for the tips btw.

[@matheuswylde]

Best comment indeed

[@shivs_nb]

Thanks!

[@0ussama01]

Help me out guys, I can seem to understand his comment. Especially the "first create a melody *with 1 note* " What do you mean by 1 note ?

[@rfdc]

@@0ussama01 let's say you're playing over A minor. For example you are only going to use C, which is the minor third of Am. Find every C on the fretboard and try to come up with something, just improvise. You won't be able to come up with an actual melody because you'll only be playing one note, C. You'll have to rely on rhythm and your creativity. But that's the idea.

[@NoahDavidMusic]

My brother Augustus/Gus helped pre-produce your last album. I had never heard of your solo career... Since my brother showed me your music, I've been hooked... Gus was proud of playing the role he could with you. Gus also said he liked and respected you Kiko... I'm a fan for life... Much love.

[@hugoleonardoamaral586]

I don't get the exercise at first, but I kept watching just 'cause that sounded pretty as hell.

Soa esquisito e errado se isso não é feito com uma Fender Stratocaster Chimbinha Series.

[@alex1am]

I came from "resumo da semana" haha. Improvising only with triads is very difficult. I've listened to Chorinho. This kind of music helps my ears to recognize triads as natural as scales. Great video, Kiko!

[@ivannegri9109]

Melhor parte é " Desculpa, coloquei uma sétima aqui, mas soou legal!" - Claro que soou legal! Quanto mais simples, mais legal fica! Só assistindo seus vídeos, consegui evoluir uma parte que estava muito bloqueada nos meus estudos! Ainda vou fazer o Guitar Evolution!

[@perfectzero7]

Éste es Kiko Loureiro en su máxima expresión... Es increible los recursos que tiene este guitarrista dentro del rock, blues, jazz, bossa, etc. Y considero que por eso es muy respetado entre tantos y sobre todo en Megadeth. E visto sesiones de improvisación junto a David Ellefson y enseñándole material parecido a este.

[@666cyprian]

Excellent exercise! great way to learn your fretboard well as far as note awareness

[@himadioah]

I said since kiko came up with angra... He was one of the most underrated guitarist... This exercise is about musically with flamenco temperament... You see everything get out from his heart... Brazilian.... I have to say its really close to al dimeola playing.... Kiki is on that level... God bless you 🙏 For everything kiko!!!!!

[@MrPeperoni79]

Soundtrack for Desperado 3. Sounds Spanish/Andalusian because of G# in E Major so there is that harmonic minor flair because A is the tonic.

"Oops...I put the seventh here..but it sounds good..." You gotta love Kiko. This is very classically influenced, flamenco, also Rumba follow triads like that. And Mary Friedman is a master of using Triads to imply chords progressions while soloing....

[@stephatoms9801]

Absolutely blown away. Your command of music and the fretboard is amazing. You inspire me to be more dedicated and work harder! Thank you Kiko!

[@toivonencresto]

When you start playing... demonstrating triads after chords... then i imagine Gary Moore starting playing ‘The messiah will come again’ on Greeny straight on a crank’d soldano.

Hey Kiko! Lo siento, mi portugués es muy pobre así que será Inglés, supongo: great vid! I like a lot of the videos you've uploaded, because you show an (at least for me!) previously unknown side of you and your music. Before that, I used to know you for your previous work with Angra, but now I see you under a very different and, I must say, inspiring light. As you said, simple idea, difficult to carry out. Please keep up the great work! Abraços!
