It's crazy that Kiko and Paul (Gilbert) both are monstrous pickers, yet, they actually swear by the 2 opposites: Kiko plays flat and parallel avoiding the "scratch" pick tone whereas Paul plays always with an angle just to get THAT "scratch" tone every time (as a cello he describes it)....More amazing though is that both are super articulate, clean, fast and awesome!!!

I KNEW IT!!! A great Megadeth guitarist always have a weird picking technique (Poland, Marty, and you) lol

[PsyMongazoid]

Wow. He's left handed, plays right handed, and is at the top of his game. Damn.

I didn't know you were a lefty like me! I also play right hand guitar, it's weird how that is an enjoyable fact. Long live Kiko!

[miguelakerfeldio]

The one that i was waiting for!! thanks <3

[orpheus]

Kiko you're incredible, such a good player and such generosity in sharing! This is the mark of the very best. Keep on rocking forever!!

[EmanueleFerro]

Interesting as always!!
Thank you Kiko for sharing your experiences!!

[lanceemerson]

chirping on the strings is a sound killer. good video even for a player, always good to revisit basics, Kiko is the best.

[nnorvs]

awesome advice, thanks very much for you guides!

[MrElopez]

Wow, Kiko..this was something I have been struggling with for so much time now...how to sound cleaner in the way I pick the strings? Exactly, I have always struggled against those scratchy overtones and I had never thought of the angle, I will try to incorporate that to my playing, thank you so very much!!

I have to be honest, that initially I thought: Oh, no, Kiko, please don´t tell me you are one of those guys who think there is only ONE right way to hold the pick (there are way too many great guitarists out there with various grip techniques)..but then, you got me!! Genius!!

Greetings from a fan from El Salvador!!

Grande Kiko! Vamos aprendendo contigo. Palheta paralela às cordas ou com a inclinação do braço. Realmente afeta o resultado sonoro. Obrigado pela aula!

I went to school for classical piano as a pretty tense player. It takes work to undo but it is definitely a critical step. I'm trying to get into more advanced guitar and notice the same tendencies. I can promise that putting the time in (no matter how much it takes) to loosen up and eliminate tension in your joints from the shoulder down will make you an infinitely better player. I don't know why this is, but I can assure you!

I've tried your picking position and I can say it is amazing. I will just add that, as an intermediate player, tone is not the biggest benefit for me. Having the pick/plectrum flat keeps hand much more relaxed and the pick position makes accidentally touching nearby strings more unlekely. I immediately improved my spread and cleanliness!!! Valeu irmão!
