Hello i began to work on the track eDM and i have 2 questions :
The JB fundraiser evening was a really great guitar moment. Thank you for that !
Hello Kiko, hello everyone…!
What a privilege, ALL of us sharing this experience.
If possible, I’d like to hear about INJURIES; how to prevent them, how to play safer (posture, breaks, warm ups, etc).
And of course how to keep your hands healthy and limber.
Gratefully,
Laurentiu Gianni.
Hi folks! Hi Kiko!
I have very quick question i believe can be of interest for everybody, i would like to know if it’s in your plan to do teaching/mentoring session in english (like to ones you did in portuguese).
Also i’m really interested in a composition course/lesson and i think it will be fantastic if you do something like that in your clear and very functional way.

The topic are two but can be answered quickly.
Cheers!!!

Hi there!
I realized that many people (including me) have difficulty in investing time and effort correctly.
We create practical or theoretical difficulties that have to do with composition, improv, music theory or even ways to hold the pick, move each hand and everything you can name. That way we have the “excuse” to avoid doing sth until we get an “answer”. (It goes without saying though that there are people who trully face these difficulties, too)
So, my question here is:
Do you find yourself doing that? and if yes, how do you manage (how do you convince yourself) to get past that ?
Cheers,
Sergio
PS.
Very interesting question !!!
I was wondering about ear training. I added some focus in my playing to hear the way different intervals and chords sound.
Is this the best approach?
Have thousands of songs I want to learn.
Also if it’s too fast I slow the mp3 down.
Just to add to Frederic’s second question - it would be awesome if Kiko showed how he handles the left hand muting just in bar #1 of that 8 bar main theme in EDM.
Is there a list out there of topics that were already covered? I think this would be helpful for newcomers and those whom haven’t been able to watch all of the lives.
Um abraço!

This would be a great topic. I’ve been practicing everyday a lot and I am really worried, that I get injured and have to stop playing for a month or worst, more!
I have a question on fingers while playing scales:
Let’s take the G major, 3 notes per string. On string 5 and 6, you do the full stretch.
I’ve been doing this always index finger (in G), ring finger (in A), pinky finger (in B)… That’s no problem when I play slow, but as I increase the speed, my middle finger starts getting in the way between string 4 and 5.
Then I noticed that Kiko and lots of guitarists play the stretch shapes with the middle finger instead of the ring finger! Is this the reason? Should I teach my brain hard to change the finger positioning? This is the one thing I am really struggling with right now.
Saludos!

I’m gonna try again for the third time:
Exercises and tips for whammy bar and tremolo picking.
Hi everyone,
Some questions I have for Kiko-
I have always practiced sat down, except for in band rehearsals. I have only been in my band for about six months and have found that my playing is much more precise and focused when seated. Is there any tips or tricks to improve this or is it just a case of practicing whilst playing standing?
Second question is how to settle nerves when playing gigs? I have my first gig soon and I’m already feeling very anxious about pulling off a really good performance, not hitting any wrong notes etc. I’ve found that my technique really suffers if I’m nervous and it’s very frustrating how all your practice can suddenly go out the window. I know a lot of musicians suffer from this. Kiko, having played in front of such a vast amount of people is there anything you have found to calm yourself backstage and before a gig?
Thanks everyone!
I think you can go to the previous posts and there you can see all the lives… that would be an option…
I believe someone did a thread on this some time ago, but really can’t recal who and can’t find it… 
Here it is, but I only did the first two 
Cataloging topics covered during live streams
I promise to do at least one more in the next couple of days 
Cool!!! Let’s do it!

The usual Thursday YouTube sessions is there a list on this site. I know once a month Saturday broadcast are. Also wanted to thank Kiko and this site, I am getting closer to memorizing the fretboard and starting to making progress on soloing.
