Another bloody talented player. He can do like 8 finger tapping, in a musical sense, and loads more.. And I love his guitar.. Its only SGD1800 (w/o shipping)... would buy it if it weren't found in Brazil only.

 

[gargamelesp]

ah, check out his solo album if you havent, its very very musical and nice. Esp has just released his signature model. List price is approx 10k SGD 8O

 

[ShredCow]

His ESP sig is way overpriced.

Go to www.tagima.com.br or something... google it... its the K1. Gotoh Floyd Rose. 27 frets. 1800 SGD. Its his signature too.

 

[gargamelesp]

yup, apparently he has an Esp signature model but he is endorsed by tagima as well. Saw him using it on Angra's live dvd. Very good player!

 

[ShredCow]

And unique too! The way he infused brazilian beats and melodies... excellent.

 

[ShredCow]

Gahhh!!! People, just search for "kiko loureiro" on youtube... bloody amazing!

 

[gargamelesp]

and get angra's live dvd too =)

 

[ShredCow]

YEAH.

ugh.... fusion ... 8 finger tapping... ahhhhh!!!

 

[penguin]

i do like kiko...for his techical abilities but Rafael (the other Angra guitarist)
has a sweet touch for melody and phrasing as well...sweet pair

 

[blahblah]

both kiko and rafael can come up with very nice stuff for those who think kiko's some madhat no-feel shredder go get his solo cd no gravity

ANGRA!!! power guitarist, top of my list for power metal band, managed to knock off stratovarius.

 

[WiZaRd]

He look like Gus G alot. I want that hairrr...darmnn...

 

[Stillborn]

woah, didn't know theres so many angra/kiko fans in here...

imo kiko & rafael are one of the best metal guitar duo (if not the best..), both very technical but yet so melodic...

& i kinda like kiko's tajima more than his new sig...




ok back to the videos!!
Angra - Master Class Guitar
(Kiko & Rafael are interviewed here, & demo some of what they do...)

 

[ShredCow]

Nice.... thanks for sharing!

I would buy Kiko's Signature Tagima... but its Brazil.. really a bit too risky. The Tagima comes with a Gotoh FR....

hey guys... love both Kiko and Rafael. So precise and melodic. That ESP price is quite outrageous, but i like the idea of scalloping the upper frets, was it George Lynch and that Timo Tolkki fellow?
