  • How to Start Learning Music Theory.
    In this video I show the basics of music theory. Intervals!
    How to apply octaves, learning the shapes and using alternate picking and hybrid picking.

    1 Billion ideas and possibilities shared in a single 14 minute video... and only based on the octave. Brilliant stuff Kiko, thank you for sharing!

    Every time I see a new video, I say : Kiko is not only an E.T. guitar player, but an amazing teacher also. That's really difficult . Supercongrats!

    The title should have been "The power of octaves". but anyways great lesson kiko!

  • @Dasa85218

    A great teacher indeed. Sometimes is really difficult to apply theory and make it "attractive" but he is a master...thank you so much Kiko

    Your one of the most inspiring musicians, there has been in a long time... Neil Peart, Jaco Pastorius, Randy Rhoads, Billy Sheehan and Kiko Loureiro.... 🤘 I listen to open source everyday on the way to work to start my day...
    If you ever need a bass player, drummer or guitar player... I’m two hours from Nashville... Ha!

    I've been playing for years now, with zero advancement, and finally I realize that Music Theory is actually a very usefull tool to understand, and to create music, and this videos had really helped to this process; I will always sincerely express gratitude to Kiko for being this accesible, please continue with this theory series. and a Q & A, What was your level of participation in the temple of shadows álbum, I feel that this is a really masterpiece, so I want to Know, wich parts did you compose? Lyrics, lead guitar only? Or maybe the powerfull acoustic intro from the shadow hunter perhaps?. Saludos desde México.

    Very vivid and informatove. Finally I understand the music theory after 18 yrs of playing guitar with very slow progress. 🎸😂
    Thanks for the video.😊 👍

    Kiko "The Magnificent" is helping me become a 56 yr. Old New player!!! I've learned Tons from the Man!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you!!!!

  • @bestboy897
    @bestboy897 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    not only is kiko a gifted musician and guitar god, his knowledge and insight into teaching each concept is unparallel. He answers the reasoning behind why music theory exists and how it helps in making music, and not just what it is.

  • @f.u.c8308
    @f.u.c8308 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    This is extremely helpful. I am mad at everyone who didn't tell me that every interval has a shape. Great insight from a great guitarist. Thank you Kiko!!!

  • @romanthedog6861
    @romanthedog6861 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I really enjoyed the video. This video was the best music theory lesson video l’ve ever seen. It was easy to understand and fun to watch. I would be grateful if you could make a video about music theory again. Thank you so much for making such a useful video.

  • @davidcamejo6710
    @davidcamejo6710 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Kiko! I am soo freaking impressed with you man. It is soo great to see a metal guy showing such a different side to the profession. You got me glued to you tube every time I get a notification about any of your videos.
    I can go on and on talking about the great deal of admiration I have, but I don't think you, being the simple/humble guy you are, would appreciate that. So I will refrain.
    But I will say, weirdly enough, all my frustrations for having played guitar and yet never really learned about music, kind of dissappear when I watch your videos. In fact, I get more and more fascinated with music when I see your videos and learned about your story.
    So all I have to say is obrigado my friend, please keep this alive!

    This guy makes better solos using only one note than I would ever play using all of them.

  • @angusorvid8840
    @angusorvid8840 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Kiko is as wonderful a teacher as he is a player. His understanding of music and how it works makes him a superior guitar teacher. Great clarity because he just makes perfect sense when it comes to how it works on the fretboard. Excellent lesson.

  • @deevaider
    @deevaider 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hey Kiko! I love your videos so much, they are very useful and they always help me to find motivation. Could you please show us the way you play standing? It’s very uncomfortable for me and I think I do something wrong with my hands. I’m looking forward to seeing you with Megadeth in Russia!

  • @gavphil3383

  • @Kleyver
    @Kleyver 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Really great video tutorial. I think what I enjoyed the most is how excited Kiko looks every time he realizes how cool is the idea he´s showing us. He´s actually happy about the theory he´s unveiling to us. Thanks for that.

  • @markgueren9633
    @markgueren9633 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Kiko!! I absolutely love your “lessons” because you make it relatable!! AND!! And we can see how much you enjoy the subject by the joy on your face!!! You’ve also made me realize that I know more theory than I thought.. I may not know all the terminology but I definitely know the sounds and patterns!! THANK YOU soo much for these!!

    If there is a good moment in history to be alive must be this one. I can't believe I'm taking music theory classes with the guitar lead of my favorite band. OMG 🤯 if this is a dream please don't wake me up!

    When I started music theory classes it was like my day in algebra all of a sudden I knew nothing I didn’t know anything about it and I went all my god that’s the dumb guys I’ll never get through it but I kept at it and I was lost for several weeks and then finally all of a sudden one day we were doing chords notes and all music theory! And all of a sudden I don’t know what it was that I understood but all of a sudden I’ll new with clarity what I was doing and the next thing you know I fell in love with music theory and I did a lot of it and I pursued it and found out it was not that bad. Thanks Kinko I really enjoy seeing you watching you play watching you are show me things that I don’t know because, u young enough to have a heavy metal 🤘🏻 lessons and I am from the day of
    bar heavy rock ‘n’ roll so anyway thank you sir

    Yeah, Kiko! All your tips and lessons are very practical and clear. When I picked an electric guitar again after many years of break, your channel has been very helpful for me to get my technique back and maybe even better than before. Big thanks and God bless.

    Kiko não é só um músico fantástico, mas também um excelente professor. O modo que ele explica torna o assunto mais leve e agradável, além de facilitar muito o aprendizado. E como são interessantes as analogias que ele faz entre a música e assuntos cotidianos! Kiko, realmente, é um "tesouro"...hehehe Valeu!!!

    Fala Kiko! Na turnê do álbum Fireworks vocês tocaram em Recife e tive a satisfação de conhecer vocês no dia seguinte ao show no aeroporto Internacional dos Guararapes.... Não me esqueço como você foi simpático e conversou comigo e ainda por cima topou falar com um amigo meu pelo telefone (celular)... Eu liguei para ele e você falou com ele e o mesmo ficou incrédulo de estar falando com você! Muito obrigado e parabéns por tudo que tem acontecido em sua vida! Você merece tudo de bom que tem vivido!

    Ciao Kiko,
    Settimana scorsa una lezione di accordi semplici ma molto creativi.
    Oggi ti presenti con un altro video spiegando l'importanza dell'uso sulle ottave...cosa che fino ad ora " almeno io" non avevo mai dato importanza, o meglio non ci avevo mai fatto caso.
    Insomma, sei importante Kiko.
    Per conoscere a fondo lo strumento che amiamo " la chitarra " servono persone come te.
    Che ci apri la mente, e ci fai conoscere a fondo il manico, con semplicità.
    Divertendoci, senza troppa teoria....
    Io sono molto schietto, e non posso dire altro che ... continua così Kiko.
    Senza smettere mai di ringraziarti ovviamente, perché per fare questi video, togli del tempo libero a te stesso....e non è poco....!!!!
    Grazie 1000 Kiko.
    Bellissimo video.
    Bellissima spiegazione.
    Ciao Maestro.👍👏👋
    Saluti dall'Italia.

  • @yohanonshine4664
    @yohanonshine4664 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That's very cool . Sometime when composing I use the octave to spice up a chord progression trying it in different places to get the mood as to not sound typical. Also Kiko has such perfect hand position it's much easier to see exactly what he plays versus some other tutorials. Txs Kiko

    Beautifully explained as always Kiko. If you see this comment, I'd like to request you to make a series of videos on chords. 1) How to find chords of a song 2) How to find intermediate chords (in between chords) to make the song more appealing. When I hear a song, there are so many different chords used but my problem is to find those chords.
