    I’m gonna miss you in Megadeth Kiko! I don’t know if you remember this but you and Megadeth came to Berklee College of Music in 2016 and we jammed! I’m the guitar player of the group and the way you and Dave broke down Tornado of Souls changed my life. To hear how you analyzed the harmony of that solo made me do the same with every solo I’ve learned since. I love your songwriting on The Sick, The Dying, and The Dead, I wish we could’ve heard you play more of the songs live!

    Loved your contributions to the songwriting in The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! As a hardcore Megadeth fan, you were truly Dave’s first real partner since Marty. A video about the Dogs Of Chernobyl classical guitar intro or the Night Stalkers riffs you wrote would be fantastic!

      This x1000!
      His contributions put the album in my top 5 of favorite Megadeth records. Dystopia isn't too far behind it either. Both felt like breaths of fresh air. But TSTDATD is a special album, and Kiko is probably the biggest reason for that!

Teemu KILLED IT and everyone in that place was amazed at how he played. You trained him well in secret apparently.

    Describe more about your use of secondary dominants in these riffs and others!

    • @superblondeDotOrg
      @superblondeDotOrg 2 місяці тому

      The added importance of using secondary dominants is that such functional harmony can be harmonized more readily. So rather than having a cool riff that sounds great but is hard to harmonize, using classical-harmony techniques in guitar means classical harmony rules can be used for other instruments like the bass or other guitar parts.
      From that standpoint, this song could have been improved by using countermelodies in the Bass part, rather than simply doubling the guitar part. The Bass parts of songs which have countermelodies to the guitar part will end up really catching the ear and make songs stand out very well.
