its for the sake of clarity so every note heard is articulated clearly and not covered up by any high gain, if you can shred with low gain and it still sounds good then you're probably really good haha
*Is the guitarist of Megadeth* “Actually don’t watch my vids, even the ones where I play correctly. You can find better tutorials on the internet...” So humble! What a god he is... Precioso
There are tons of great guitarist on youtube. But kiko gets the gig. So he must be one of the greatest who plays correctly according to mustaine standard.
I think every guitarist had his own touch and style ,non of them was bad , different levels? Yeah,but all awesome, to me that's what keeps Megadeth fresh.
It is nice seeing this kind of vulnerable attitude: a great musician with no shame of not being perfect, specially in these days of fake instagram guitarplayers.
He's so economical with his hands. No excess movement, no wasted energy to accomplish the goal. I would look like I'm trying to put a fire out on my hands. What a classy guy as well.
What kind of man can learn THAT in a few hours, pass Dave Mustaine's test, sign with the greatest metal band that ever was, and then make the effort to encourage people like us? A genuinely good man that deserves everything good that the universe can bring his way.
I always find it kinda neat to see professionals doing the same stuff the rest of us do. This man has been playing guitar longer than I've been alive, has played on 30-something albums, and this is his (pre)audition for one of the BIG FOUR -- MEGADETH -- and he's playing along to backing tracks he found on UA-cam, just like everyone else.
Some friends of mine took classes with him at Souza Lima, and they unanimously said that he’s arrogant and selfish. I had a master class from Kiko in 2001. He talked about himself 95% of the time and gave some gear tips. I’m not his fan and I’ve never liked Angra, but those who were, had a hard time trying to take autographs and pics with him.
@@evergalonga5617 I've seen him in quite a few interviews, and he never came off that way. His YT educational vids seem pretty solid too. Maybe he has matured some in the last TWENTY-ONE YEARS.
As a guitarist, I can imagine the pain of playing something another guitarist has written. Then, playing that bit as fast as the original guitarist. Then, learning a passable cover of 4 of those songs in just 2 short days! And having the same feel, timing and cadence as the original with the exact semitone bends and all to make the piece feel authentic.. not to mention, the audition is for one of the greatest shred bands in existence; with a demanding precision in both technical skill and tonal clarity.. this is an achievement as both a musician and as a dedicated marksman. The humility by Kiko is understated, to say the least.
you are looking at this from a "guitarist/artist" perspective, it is valid and relevant, but this is Kiko's job and, his family's livelihood. there is no pride, this was just a great gig to land PS: I bought angels cry in 94 when it came out so I've been following Kiko for over 20 years
@Mark Nicoll the guy is in his forties. Where as both Daves are approaching 60. Also he does look even younger than his age. Why does everyone have to be an ass?
His demeanor says he's nervous and worried about being judged. His playing says he's light-years ahead of his necessities. Definition of a humbled man.
Se o Kiko Loureiro teve coragem de gravar um vídeo tocando uma música do Megadeth com alguns erros e mandar pro Dave Mustaine, então vc também pode ter coragem de chegar naquela mina.
Marty Friedman really changed the dynamic of Megadeth solos and is such a musical genius when he wrote those leads. To have guitarists like Chris Broderick and now Kiko Loureiro coming in and throwing their own style to play Marty's solos almost practically note for note really blows my mind and makes me emulate guys like them.
Translation of the comment of Pedro Dotto here: "If Kiko Loureiro had the guts to record a video playing a megadeth song with some mistakes and send it to Dave Mustaine, so you DO have the guts too to flirt that girl"
@@Dios67 I'm just kidding. I'm Brazilian just like Kiko and an amateur guitarrist and no one respects him more than us here. He's the best guitarrist of this land
@@dennercassio It's cool. Your comment just made me think of one of the UA-cam commercials where Aerosmith has these once a week meetings. In them they want to hear all ideas even if bad ones and they call it "dare to suck". Because 1 out of 10 of those ideas will be a hit song.
What a candid, personable and humble explanation. I love Kiko's personality style. So down to earth. A real man can admit that he's not perfect and makes mistakes even though he's probably one of the best guitarists on the planet.
I've been lucky enough to meet some amazing guitarists in person: Paul Gilbert, Andy Timmons, Eric Johnson, Philip Sayce. Kiko has one thing in common with all of them : 100% CLASS. Thanks Kiko!

@@Thornspyre81 Crazy. Symphony was a top notch masterpiece….mustaine is one of the best riff man’s there is….Thank God Metallica booted him…this way we get symphony AND ‘And Justice”……..
Saw MegaDeth a couple years back and I was front row on the bars with my brother in front of the moshpit. I'd been playing guitar for 8 years and singing for 4 and my brother was a drummer. Kiko and Dave both fist bumped me in between solos and it was wild. Kiko is awesome
Totally love how humble you are. One of the best guitarists on the planet and admits he makes mistakes after learning difficult songs in one day. Amazing talent and personality. Hats off.
I love when top tier technical ability meets humbleness. Kiko is such a real guy, it's a pleasure to hear him taking just as much as it is to hear him playing.
Creo que una de las cosas que admiro mas de Kiko, es que no se cree perfecto y tiene la capacidad (humildad)de mostrar sus errores. Que bueno es poder verlo en Megadeth
The first word I learned in Portuguese was "legal". And that's what you are: você é muito legal! :-) Thank you for sharing your audition video with us.
Just fyi, you should only use "legal" if you're in Brazil. In Portugal, it's not part of the slang. We have the word, but it has the same meaning as in English.
I love how down to earth person kiko is! This is what makes a musician good. Being good human is first and very basic requirement to become a great musician. Kiko is a great person, which makes him a great musician too. Love you kiko!!
This is the first Megadeth song I learned a while back, Friedman’s solos really helped me build my chops up. This video is really inspiring and makes me want to post a cover of my own
I tried learning it too and I couldn't get past the first sweeps haha. I use those sweep arpeggios as my sweep practice now. They are still too fast for me
it´s like every one acts as a king.. Then Arthur comes around, pulls Excalibur out of the stone, throws it into the grass and says: "Give it to someone else, i don´t deserve it..."
Dude, what you did sounded awesome! It must have been nerve-racking to do this! I’m glad they chose you because you bring a new and exciting element to the band!
Love the rawness of the sound. We're hearing the input at the guitar versus the output after rack/effects/amp. It's also more percussive. Awesome Kiko!
You started off directly going for the hardest Megadeth song on guitar, and you almost nailed it to 100% I think Dave must have had a very similar reaction to the one he had when he discovered Marty Friedman for the first time, and he later reffered to him and his technique on the lyric book of Rust in Peace as "a breath of fresh air", good job and I hope to see you guys soon in Argentina!
Parabéns, Kiko, já tive a chance de te ver com o Megadeth 2x em São Paulo. Orgulhoso de ter um brasileiro na banda que foi uma das que me introdução no metal lá em 1995! Tenho um autógrafo seu que peguei na época do Angra (Angels Cry) na galeria do rock!
You are an amazing guitar player but you seem to be a better person. Humble af, interactive and very polite. You are the best since Friedman. Im glad that you are part of Megadeth
orgulho da poha! Kiko é Brasil, e eu fui te ver no seu primeiro show com o Megadeth aqui no Brasil irmão, lembro bem que era uma mistura de euforia e alegria por ver uma das bandas que eu mais gosto e ainda mais com você sendo um dos integrantes, caralho mano foi realmente uma noite incrível e emocionante, caso vc veja essa mensagem Kiko fica aqui o meus parabéns, você merece! e obrigado por tudo, um grande abraço!
I like this type of artists who has humbleness with the same level of his talent. When the artist is extremely talented (like Kiko) of course, because equivalency of talent and humbleness wouldn't be very nice in the opposite situation.
It's easy to see why they chose to bring this guy into the band. Incredible player but also modest and unnasuming. It sounds as if Dave Mustaine was auditioning him not just as a guitarist but as a human being. He obviously passed !
I have nothing whatsoever against Kiko and wish him the best. But considering Mustaine’s history, I’d be more doubtful about what Mustaine himself might be looking for in bandmates from a human perspective, and especially why. Sometimes it’s the best human attributes that get abused by more twisted minds.
2 days? Damn... It takes me about 2 weeks to learn the main riff. Kiko is my fav guitarist, I have no doubt about that. This shows how much of a humble person he is, I wonder how many guitarists at his level are willing to show this kind of stuff. You're the best, man. Take care of yourself and your family! (:
Kiko, vos fuiste mi primer ídolo del metal... Angels Cry fue mi primer disco de metal... Así que Angra fue la primer banda de metal que escuché... Gracias
Regardless of how accurate this is, I just love how raw and pure this video is. No post production studio magic. Just you, your guitar and a camera, showcasing pure talent. *edit* - I wish more guitarists did this. Now days, every "playthrough" you see is a perfectly edited, cut & pasted together, massively overproduced, polished pre-recording, over a video of fake playing.
Kiko, quero parabenizá-lo por sua humildade e por sua técnica, você é uma ótima pessoa e um grande artista, outros guitarristas não o carregavam por causa de seu ego; no entanto, você nos ensina, obrigado e saúde nesses tempos da Espanha
Sounds like you asked Mustaine if you could upload your audition tape and he told you "Ok, but make sure they know It's not the right way to play the songs!" lol
Misericórdia, podem até estar "erradas" algumas notas, mas VC toca demais Mestre! Que orgulho de ser brasileiro e ter VC representando a nossa música lá fora! SUCESSO SEMPRE, DEUS o acompanhe sempre, sou muito seu fã!
Animal Kiko!!! Orgulho imenso de você mano!!! Acredito que enviar o vídeo antes pro Dave foi meio caminho andado, mas de qualquer forma ele precisava da audição ao vivo por que é nessa hora que a banda precisa avaliar não só a técnica mas sentir a energia do novo integrante e ver se vai rolar uma química entre o grupo, não é verdade? E nessa parte você mandou bem de novo, tanto que foi contratado! :) Essa agora me lembrou a audição do Trujillo no Metallica documentada no filme "Some Kind of Monster", um dos meus favoritos!
Very appreciated your honesty... Sometimes we all watch at you guys on stage as superheroes or gods ... At the end of the story you are all humans with limits... Now I know also you have to work a lot to reach the goals... Thnx man thnx so much
Kiko, you're humility is admirable. You are a top shelf player, and the fact that you are so humble speaks volumes about your character. You deserve every accolade. Best wishes in all your endeavors.
Eu vi os primeiros solos de hangar 18 e já pensei: por isso que o Dave chamou tão rápido. Em dois dias tirou os solos tão perfeitamente assim. Kiko, sei que tem uma vida cheia no Megadeth mas sei la ajuda o Angra a voltar a glória de antigamente. O Rafael é otimo, mas vocês dois que deixam aquela banda 100%.
Kiko's level is so high he learned in one day songs that take weeks to really memorize and play more or less well. Kind of reminds me how Steve Vai learned an entire set of Malmsteen songs in one day.
Eu só consigo tirar música do Ramones ou do Motorhead num único dia. Aí vem o Kiko e tira Hangar 18, Symphony of Destruction, Trust e Holy Wars de uma vez só kkkkkkk
You can only admire a guy like this. The authenticity and the humbleness to come out and say what he says in the video. In Portuguese: Exemplar! Grande exemplo 👏
Hey Kiko! Really thanks for share this reflection with us. I can remember see megadeth in Chile a fews years ago and you was there with the same guitar playing the tornado of souls solo hehe.
people like this, their humble attitude, and clearly saying he's making mistakes, is testament to this mans brilliant musicanship. Probably the reason he got the gig wasn't the fact that he submitted a note perfect rendition as he says himself, but rather they looked at him overall and said, "yep, we can use this guy, he's approachable, easy going, would hold up well on tour, knows his music theory, and the rest we can iron out as we go along..." I love people like this, true and honest, and approachable, no ego, absolutely top marks Kiko.. oh and the guitar playing is superb! on a side note example, when Viv Cambpell auditioned for Def Leppard in the 80s, and the ones who got the gig, Viv Cambell in particular, got the gig because he could do BVs as well.. sometimes it's more about the person, than the player.. :D but Kiko is still a superb player.. I have to say. During my time playing guitar, I've played with some famous people, and not so famous, but the people I remembered and liked, were the ones who were approachable, and just pleasant to be around. Les Binks, was one, Tony Parsons another, and some of my old students, Alex Knowles (A superb bassist).. I'd rather tour with people like that, where the odd mistake is laughable, and we move on, than hotheads!
"On Saturday I learned Symphony of Destruction, Hangar 18, Trust and Holy Wars." - Nothing much. Just your average Saturday there.
Hahaha
Casual Saturday
😂😂😂
it took me 2 months just to play Holy Wars lol, kiko is god
Well this is years and years of playing and learning the guitar
"There's a couple of wrong notes"... When I play the guitar, there's a couple of right notes
its called jazz
🤣🤣🤣
hahhahah
feel you lmao
also, this is my second or third comment in my history of youtube-ing, which is about 13 years. SO MAN DO I FEEL YOU LOL
The lack of gain in this tone is insane. The balls on this dude...pure confidence in his craft
its for the sake of clarity so every note heard is articulated clearly and not covered up by any high gain, if you can shred with low gain and it still sounds good then you're probably really good haha

Thanks for clarifying ali965 i thought he was from gojira

orgulho da poha! Kiko é Brasil, e eu fui te ver no seu primeiro show com o Megadeth aqui no Brasil irmão, lembro bem que era uma mistura de euforia e alegria por ver uma das bandas que eu mais gosto e ainda mais com você sendo um dos integrantes, caralho mano foi realmente uma noite incrível e emocionante, caso vc veja essa mensagem Kiko fica aqui o meus parabéns, você merece! e obrigado por tudo, um grande abraço!
Kiko is just the best!! He’s the Keeanu Reeves of guitar playing! We must protect him at all costs!!!!
Y Keanu?
Is Keeanu a good guitarist?
@@druidofthefang he's a bassist
Stop obsessing over keanu

I like this type of artists who has humbleness with the same level of his talent. When the artist is extremely talented (like Kiko) of course, because equivalency of talent and humbleness wouldn't be very nice in the opposite situation.
It's easy to see why they chose to bring this guy into the band. Incredible player but also modest and unnasuming. It sounds as if Dave Mustaine was auditioning him not just as a guitarist but as a human being. He obviously passed !
He also moves around a lot during the shows . And gets into it 👍
I have nothing whatsoever against Kiko and wish him the best. But considering Mustaine’s history, I’d be more doubtful about what Mustaine himself might be looking for in bandmates from a human perspective, and especially why. Sometimes it’s the best human attributes that get abused by more twisted minds.
@@Quincepsand probably why Kiko left
2 days? Damn... It takes me about 2 weeks to learn the main riff.
Kiko is my fav guitarist, I have no doubt about that. This shows how much of a humble person he is, I wonder how many guitarists at his level are willing to show this kind of stuff. You're the best, man. Take care of yourself and your family! (:
The only man for the job! Thanks for sharing Kiko!! Your such an inspiration. 🤘
Kiko, vos fuiste mi primer ídolo del metal...
Angels Cry fue mi primer disco de metal...
Así que Angra fue la primer banda de metal que escuché...
Gracias
Regardless of how accurate this is, I just love how raw and pure this video is. No post production studio magic. Just you, your guitar and a camera, showcasing pure talent.
*edit* - I wish more guitarists did this. Now days, every "playthrough" you see is a perfectly edited, cut & pasted together, massively overproduced, polished pre-recording, over a video of fake playing.
And he learned that in a couple days!!!
Thanks
Gotta love that raw tone, makes me wanna throw my active EMGs in the bin.
@@ddaneh3090 album has been out forever. Kiko learned years ago. Like everyone else. Just had brush up on it
Why is having good production quality a bad thing?
Kiko, quero parabenizá-lo por sua humildade e por sua técnica, você é uma ótima pessoa e um grande artista, outros guitarristas não o carregavam por causa de seu ego; no entanto, você nos ensina, obrigado e saúde nesses tempos da Espanha
Watching this helps you really appreciate when the two guitars harmonize with each other when played together.
Sounds like you asked Mustaine if you could upload your audition tape and he told you "Ok, but make sure they know It's not the right way to play the songs!" lol
LoL
😂😂
@@kikoloureiroofficial kiko, just want to say your wrong notes add a new scape to the songs and that you are a legend but you already know that.
😂😂😂😂😂
True Rockstar with a great appetite for life . Love your work Kiko.
Misericórdia, podem até estar "erradas" algumas notas, mas VC toca demais Mestre! Que orgulho de ser brasileiro e ter VC representando a nossa música lá fora! SUCESSO SEMPRE, DEUS o acompanhe sempre, sou muito seu fã!
Animal Kiko!!! Orgulho imenso de você mano!!! Acredito que enviar o vídeo antes pro Dave foi meio caminho andado, mas de qualquer forma ele precisava da audição ao vivo por que é nessa hora que a banda precisa avaliar não só a técnica mas sentir a energia do novo integrante e ver se vai rolar uma química entre o grupo, não é verdade? E nessa parte você mandou bem de novo, tanto que foi contratado! :)
Essa agora me lembrou a audição do Trujillo no Metallica documentada no filme "Some Kind of Monster", um dos meus favoritos!
Funny I was trying to learn this song couple days ago and nearly gave up but then I saw this and kiko you gave me motivation to try again :)
Kiko's english make my day better
Sua atitude pôde ser resumida em: humildade, preparo e ousadia.
Very appreciated your honesty... Sometimes we all watch at you guys on stage as superheroes or gods ... At the end of the story you are all humans with limits... Now I know also you have to work a lot to reach the goals... Thnx man thnx so much
I enjoyed Kiko performance. Just two days and memorized four Megadeth songs. Bloody cool !
Kiko thank you for sharing so much of your life with us. You’re an amazing person.
I got to see Megadeth play live last year 2021 and let me tell you this man right here is an incredible musician.
New album is great also.
I'm 46 and Megadeth is why I learned guitar and my favorite band. I think you are the best thing to ever happen to my band.... Thank you sir
The best guitarist for Megadeth since Marty, Conquer or Die is one of my favourite Megadeth solo's ever, Kiko is awesome!
Kiko: "Dont try to learn the song from this, I played a lot of wrong notes."
Me: "Are you challenging me???"
Off top thing but why the hell, do I see your account in every metal video comment section, what I watch?
It's all good Kirk, you're still the master at guitar mistakes!
@@Daviebhoy25cfc it's a specialty of mine, along with catchy riff writing.
@@rangamsarmah2061 I'm sorry those in-between notes keep fucking with you, Kirk.
Cool man 😎😎😎
Kiko, you're humility is admirable. You are a top shelf player, and the fact that you are so humble speaks volumes about your character. You deserve every accolade. Best wishes in all your endeavors.
Eu vi os primeiros solos de hangar 18 e já pensei: por isso que o Dave chamou tão rápido. Em dois dias tirou os solos tão perfeitamente assim.
Kiko, sei que tem uma vida cheia no Megadeth mas sei la ajuda o Angra a voltar a glória de antigamente. O Rafael é otimo, mas vocês dois que deixam aquela banda 100%.
I really love that guy's covers of Megadeth, wish he could play in the band !
Barış Tan Horoz Agreed
Yeah
I love this guy, humble, genuine, and willing to be vulnerable and encourage others.
Saudades de História das antigas aqui no Kikoflix ♥♥♥ toca sino já venho correndo assistir! hahahahahahaha
Kiko....tu é f....tua história no rock tem que ser respeitado. Valeu
KIKO IS THE MAN....such a killer player and extremely humble nice and down to earth guy.we love ya kiko.
Kiko's level is so high he learned in one day songs that take weeks to really memorize and play more or less well.
Kind of reminds me how Steve Vai learned an entire set of Malmsteen songs in one day.
Respect Kiko, this world will be much better if all the people are like you, nice n humble, God bless bro
Kiko is a true soul and rightfully deserves his spot. Caught him at download this year and was insane!
Eu só consigo tirar música do Ramones ou do Motorhead num único dia. Aí vem o Kiko e tira Hangar 18, Symphony of Destruction, Trust e Holy Wars de uma vez só kkkkkkk
Tesouro é outro nível.
Outro patamar
Em 2 anos de prática não consigo chegar ao nível do Tesouro Hauahauhau... imagina 2 dias...
Un genio Kiko, una inspiracion para todo musico.
Monstro do Metal Brazuca, ...... Kiko vc está no lugar certo, depois de tanta dedicação.......temos orgulho de vc no Megadeth............
That’s insane two days 😱 that would literally take me two years. Your insanely talented
You did just fine Kiko. You are a member of one of the most influential real rock bands in history. Congrats!
You can only admire a guy like this. The authenticity and the humbleness to come out and say what he says in the video. In Portuguese: Exemplar! Grande exemplo 👏
Thank you Kiko.I love how humble and talented you are at the same time. See you guys soon in Turkey I hope \m/
Hey Kiko! Really thanks for share this reflection with us. I can remember see megadeth in Chile a fews years ago and you was there with the same guitar playing the tornado of souls solo hehe.
people like this, their humble attitude, and clearly saying he's making mistakes, is testament to this mans brilliant musicanship. Probably the reason he got the gig wasn't the fact that he submitted a note perfect rendition as he says himself, but rather they looked at him overall and said, "yep, we can use this guy, he's approachable, easy going, would hold up well on tour, knows his music theory, and the rest we can iron out as we go along..." I love people like this, true and honest, and approachable, no ego, absolutely top marks Kiko.. oh and the guitar playing is superb! on a side note example, when Viv Cambpell auditioned for Def Leppard in the 80s, and the ones who got the gig, Viv Cambell in particular, got the gig because he could do BVs as well.. sometimes it's more about the person, than the player.. :D but Kiko is still a superb player.. I have to say. During my time playing guitar, I've played with some famous people, and not so famous, but the people I remembered and liked, were the ones who were approachable, and just pleasant to be around. Les Binks, was one, Tony Parsons another, and some of my old students, Alex Knowles (A superb bassist).. I'd rather tour with people like that, where the odd mistake is laughable, and we move on, than hotheads!
Kiko is a stud horse I love that dude. So real so genuine and so skilled perfect fit with Dave just like Marty was
