I love how we live in a time in which for free we can learn megadeth riffs from the guitarist from megadeth. While I may know all these riffs I would like to thank you for this as it’s incredibly important useful for the new guys so thanks kiko.

I love how Kiko teaches using the note names, instead of the numbers of the frets. Very important to memorize the fret board, and not just use tabs all the time. Respeito a você senhor.

We want this same video but for intermediate guitarists!!

Youre the man Kiko. Having family, solo career, job at Megadeth and still have time to run youtube channel where you take time to show beginner guitarists how to play part of songs they know and probably like.

"if you like that I can bring more riffs like this for you". You know how long I've been playing in my darkest hour wrong?. Thanks so much Kiko it's an honor to have one of the actual guitarist for Megadeth teach these. \m/.

as a megadeth fan, i knew kiko was a great guitarist, but watching him and seeing the enthusiasm he has to share his knowledge and help others shows me hes a great person also.

1- symphony of destruction 2- reckoning day 3- post american world 4- in my darkest hour 5- trust :3

pff, Poison was the Cure is obviously the ultimate beginner riff

Satisfação ver o Kiko ensinando músicas compatíveis para nós, relés mortais

It's so fantastic to see that you keep being grounded and that you still have a heart and understanding for beginners, even though playing on a level that seems to be from a different planet. That's such a impressive mindset! Hope to see you on tour soon again. Thanks!

I'm learning my first Megadeth song: In My Darkest Hour, and Just the intro kicked my ass so hard that I can't stand anymore Great video Kikoooooooo!

Symphony of destruction 0:00 Reckoning day 4:41 Post American World 7:00 In my darkest hour 8:57 Trust 11:28

Спасибо большое, Кико! Это замечательно, когда такой крутой гитарист показывает, как играются оригинальные партии! Спасибо! Крепкого здоровья, береги себя и близких!

He teaches so thoughtfully, most people teach inline with their knowledge but struggle to put themselves in the shoes of new players not taking many limits into consideration but not Kiko. "very open" "like this, not like this" 🥰

me when i started guitar: *poorly attempts Holy Wars*

The easiest one is clearly holy wars. Singing and playing it is a piece of cake 🙃

1. Symphony of Destruction 0:13 2. Reckoning Day 4:35 3. Post American World 6:54 4. In My Darkest Hour 8:54 5. Trust 11:17

As a megadeth lover and guitar beginner, This is a perfect videoooooo! Kiko thank you so much! I'm learning 'This was my life' and 'she-wolf' now! Annnd you shaved now hahahaha

Kiko, you have such an awesome energy! I am just getting started playing and you are truly an inspiration. Thanks for being such a genuine person.

Dave Mustaine is such an amazing songwriter.. phenomenal, absolute musical genius.

The concept is so good ! More videos for intermediate… or one full guitar lesson for one specific song would be perfect

que susto.. pela thumbnail achei que o maluco tinha cortado o cabelo kkkkkkkkkkkkkk

I'm absolutely loving the new Megadeth album. Respect to Kiko.

He should really be the PR manager of Megadeth he is really good at teaching communication

this is awesome one of the highest skilled guitar players in the world just so patiently teaching beginners Megadeth riffs. Love and respect.

I’m a simple person I see Kiko teaching for real and I subscribed. Wish I can learn from Kiko in real life please continue to teach us fans some Megadeth Riffs senor Kiko 🙏🏼 Gracias.

Typical Brasilero - so friendly and open, with that quaint accent. I only speak a bit of Portuguese, but they typically understand Spanish and answer in Portuguese (or English here in Florida). Here you can see Kiko's unpretentious joy in sharing what he does. Muito obrigato, Kiko!

Hey Kiko, it's so cool that you were able to take time out from your busy schedule to teach us how to play some great Megadeth guitar riffs, thank you so much, much appreciated, hope everything is going really well with touring, and also the release of the new Megadeth album.....Cheers!!!!!

Never thought I'd hear the words Kiko Loureiro and beginner in the same sentence

i didn’t realize the thick and chuggy tone of Kiko’s set up. holy shit. it sounds amazing.

Just learned how to play the SOD riff and it feels AWESOME. Now all I have to do is get faster and cleaner. Thanks Kiko! Also it's really amazing that you also teach us the name of the notes and scales.

Lessons from Kiko... it's like GOLD.

Please come to Brazil !

Hey Kiko, I just ordered your guitar from SweetWater. It not only looks cool as hell it sounds amazing! Rock on!

I can practice that for weeks and still never sound as awesome as Kiko or Dave! Megadeth RULES!! Thanks Kiko! ❤

É uma verdadeira dádiva ter este cromo a ensinar sem qualquer compromisso. Antes tinjha de gastar a fita da cassete para a frente e para trás (era bom, treinava o ouvido mas frustrante também ) mas ter o luxo de ser o próprio guitarrista da banda a disponibilizar os segredos e nuances das malhas é uma poupança de tempo brutal e uma autêntica masterclass. Obrigado, Kiko. Continua o bom trabalho. PS As histórias das antigas são demais! Tens um talento inato para agarrar a atenção e narrar qualquer conto. Devias escrever um livro. Grande abraço e és uma inspiração.

People say these lessons are for free. They are not. I know Kiko gets some money from these videos, that's the idea having a video on KZfaq. But still, very few people will put as much effort as Kiko does showing these basics. Most successful people have other means to earn money so I still thank Kiko for doing these and I think he makes these videos out of passion.

This was awesome..Great teacher! I've played "In Your Darkest Hour" (one my favorite Megadeth songs) wrong all my beginner life. Learned a lot from "Trust" as well. I'm a fellow Brazilian Kiko (living in NYC), and you make us proud. Rock on mate.

Thank you for being so humble that you as the megadeth lead guitarist are giving us free lessons, massive respect!! (and love)

Yeah! Simphony of Destruction is an amazing riff! Love your guitar Kiko!

It was nice to be reminded how important it is to isolate different sounds in a riff and use proper muting. I feel like sometimes I get caught up in the moment playing live and I don’t focus on that enough. And as he said, it just sounds messy.

intro and logo reveal of this video at 00:01 is just amazing! wow!

In the 70s if I wanted to learn a lick, I had to lift that needle up and down on the album tons of times, now I just watch Kiko.

Seeing such a legendary and skillful guitarist as Kiku Loureiro explaining easy guitar riffs and reminding beginners of parts that might be hard for them is both funny and amazing. Thank you so much for this video!

Imagine Eloy Casagrande and Kiko Loureiro in the same band. I can't imagine what would end up coming out from that partnership but it would be certainly amazing.

Kiko your are normal guy who happens to get to play with Megadeth. Love how down to earth you. Are. Thank you

Megadeth Megadeth AGUANTE MEGADAVE!!queremos verlos por Argentina .los mejores fans de Megadeth!!!🎶🎵🎸🎸🎸💋❤

Finally ..something about Megadeth 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

This is a pretty great video for a beginner, because you can learn a good amount of technique from these riffs. SoD - Syncopation RD - Isolating string noise when switching strings PAW - Getting locked in with few accented down beats IMDH - Splitting triplets across even fingerings Trust - Incorporating vibrato into riffs

Absolutely love it ! Pls share more of the Classic Megadeth Riffs Beginners and Intermediate....You are awesome Kiko. Have see you in Concord and Mountain View CA. Great job with Megadeth !!

well said @Selzor - I haven't picked up my guitar for a couple of weeks but this video has ignited the passion - thanks Kiko - so cool.

Valeu Kiko! Agr é treinar e fazer as Jams com os amigos.

I have never cared about megadeth but Kiko has been making me enjoy their songs. Post more videos teaching us how to play their riffs, licks and solos, please.

This video is sweet i I watch it again later with my guitar and will now there’s no time at all keep sending them thanks Again awesome video

Looked up easy Megadeth riffs and I got Kiko here to teach me! Internet is so good!

I would LOVE to hear more guitarists playing megadeth tunes. Other than well you know the usual stuff. Once you learn these riffs, get a little daring. Go for something like "Dread in the fugitive mind." Everything about that song besides the end solo is so good to learn for finger placement and chord progression. Plus that whole album is a GOD DAMN WORK OF ART.

I wish Chris Broderick would've done something like this when I was doing nothing but learning megadeth songs when I first started this is amazing being able to learn from your heroes

Thanks for sharing Kiko, well played, excellent song list, appreciate you taking the time for us today.

Kiko, this was AWESOME! Please do some more! Maybe Holy Wars, Tornado of Souls, Hangar 18, and Bullet To The Brain? Keep Rocking, Sir!

Post American World and This Was My Life. A veritable two for one! ;)

Thanks, Kiko. Old Megadeth stuff from the first two albums like Black Friday would be cool.

Thank you so much Shomo I go to that in five minutes I’m just a beginner but I’ve always had a guitar in my bedroom

You’re totally awesome, what better way to learn then from the man who created it himself. Stay humble my friend it suits you.

When I was still learning guitar when this came out 30 years ago, I shipped the single E between the frets 654 in the Symphony 2nd part. Then as you get better add the E between those notes. Dave even has at least 1 lesson clip where he doesn't play it so, if it's OK for him, it's pk for you! Keep trying you'll get it. Thanks Keiko been watching your vids since you started and wish they were sooner, but better that than never. I'll see you in Oct in Mansfield Ma.

You should do this for the riff at the end of Peace Sells. I've seen it played several different ways, as well as seen it tabbed a few different ways. It would be cool to see how it's actually played by you and Dave. 🤘

Hi Kiko!! Next will be : "Megadeth Solos for Beginners". That is gonna be Challenging! Thanks for your contribution here on YT , I learned many things that made me improve a lot!

Thank you! Please keep making these videos exactly how you did this one. I loved it when you gave technique advice, like when you stressed the importance of making sure the E string is quiet when playing the A and D... Again, thank you!

I'm relearning guitar after an injury that hindered the motor function in my left fretting hand. It's really frustrating not being able to play what I once could but this is still awesome thanks Kiko!

Kiko, you are one of my favorite guitarists. So talented, so cool. Thank you. Long Live Megadeth.

Kiko, in my hour of need, you are there!

Thank you! Great little bunch of building blocks to play around with. And I think your passion and dedication for the guitar is truly inspiring, as it really comes through....you know, one can never practice enough! Thank you man.

Kiko, stop being such a legend man. :-) I thought I knew how to play some of these but yea no.. back to the drawing board haha. Love you dude.

So cool of you to do this most guitar players in big bands would never show how to play the songs. Thanks kiko!

Finalmente vou poder tocar sem parecer um maluco KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK Salve salve, Kikão 🤘🏻

Love you bro, it's so awesome

I like very much how Kiko explains, for me he's the best example of a guitar teacher. Thanks!

Love to see some songs you don’t normally see like she wolf ,family tree,tears in a vial and some others

Really hard not to like Kiko. Wish I had these kind of resources when I started playing!

Symphony was the first Megadeth song I ever learned can't wait to see you play these live in Arkansas on September

Really nice Kiko. Love seeing your passion for the music. Inspirational to see how you carry yourself around the sets and give back to the fans with these vids.

Trust was the very first Megadeth song I learned how to play on guitar. It's a relatively simple song to learn and play but Incredibly satisfying an great to play. Beautiful song and one of my favourites since I heard it. One of the best intros I've ever heard .....

You’re the man! Thank you for taking the time to show us these. Having so much fun learning them

I really respect when the pros teach people the right way, his explanation is so easy to understand, 😁🤘

Hello Kiko, thank you for pointing out all the little details while practicing - this is so importand und valuable! If you weren't a Musician on stage, you'd be a Professor at a renowned Music College! I would be sure of that! Thank you very much for your great work and your time you invested in these KZfaq Tutorial Videos! I wish you and your family all the best! It's great that you're there! With loving greetings from Germany Matthias

This was amazing 🔥 More please Kiko 🤘🏻

I love this guy. Happy, humble, helpful. Viva Kiko!

THANK YOU! Really put me on the right track. I was close, but now, oh yeah!

Massacration pegou exatamente o riff inicial nos 10:24 hahah, muito bom! Vemos várias influencias do Megadeth no Massacration!

yeah.... well, call a riff easy... sure there aren't too many notes or a structure of notes too complex to remember or when to push down certain notes on certain points... but make this riff sound like Megadeth... well... And it is so liberating to feel like a beginner again after dabbling around for so many years on guitar by now... It is hugely inspiring to listen to your playing Kiko, thank you so much Sir! I truly am a Megadeth fan (for more than 30 years) and I love your contribution to the band as well. Plus, I never understood why so many people don't like the Crypting Wirtings album... there are some great songs and a lot of things going on in these recordings, musicwise...

I'm actually a drummer starting playing the guitar and loved it man !!! I don't have a "good hand" but I keep practicing it to get them better ! Salute from a Brazil hardcore fan !! \../.

Thank you Kiko. I'm thankful all is well with you.

Thanks for sharing and taking time to do this for us. In my darkest hour is a classic banger, thanks for the lesson.

Top bloke.. and so much better than beginners learning from seriously dodgy tab books ..my first megadeth reverse engineering was In my darkest hr took me a long time many years ago and we could only dream of this level of Interaction .. cheers fella from Liverpool England 🇬🇧😁👏👏🙃

This proves I am still a beginner after many years of playing! Simple works. Doesn’t have to be super complicated to have that heavy, crushing sound.

best guitar video ever seen in my wasted life I'm really appreciate cause I not understand nothing about notes

Thanks Kiko!!!! You are a good teacher!!! Please keep making these videos!!! I’m going to play some Megadeth riffs when I get home tonight!! I’m excited!!

You are awesome, Kiko! Thanks for doing these and please keep them coming!🤘🏻

Thank you sir, now i can learn that riff

kiko’s english 🖤 thank you kiko!! i’m a veryyyy beginner i barely play something 😅

ECAF for trust. This is brilliant
