Kiko Loureiro Interview at The Guitar Institute

Kiko Loureiro

Brazilian Kiko Loureiro recently played a Masterclass at London's The Institute of Contemporary Music, and the Guitar Institute's master of ‘world guitar' Tolis Zavaliaris was on hand on 11th March 2008 to ask a few pertinent questions to this exciting new guitar star. Kiko is a genuinely fresh new addition to the ranks of virtuoso metal based guitarists, bringing an eclectic mix of influences that reflect his South American heritage - and these combined with a world class command of the modern rock guitar idiom results in a genuinely cutting edge axeman.

The Three Ages of Lynch - Lynch's Mob - Part 1

A sigh of relief is heard over the streets of LA. The desolate chaos gives way to a peace which hasn’t been felt for some years. There is the slight sting of regret, but it subsides to the sight of freedom, a sign of hope, and the breaking of chains which bound hands for the best part of a decade.

The Three Ages of Lynch - The Dokken Days Part 2

George Lynch’s lead playing is legendary. He is one of the rare breed of players who has the magic touch. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it is about his playing and whether there was some collusion with an other worldly force for him to be able to play the way he can…hmmm, I wonder if he went down to the Crossroads like Ralph Macchio in the film of the same name. Was there a duel with a gentleman named Jack Butler, who just happened to be a spitting image of a certain Mr. Vai??? An interesting thought…

Marco Sfogli - There's Hope

There has been much debate in the pages of All Out Guitar recently as to who are the hottest players in the world right now and who is the future of shred. Some of the names to pop up in these discussions have been Michael Romeo, Andy James, Guthrie Govan and older names such as Andy Timmons, Greg Howe, Steve Vai and of course Yngwie. Youtube is also a constant source of clips of the latest bedroom shredder or guitar show clinician.

Brett Garsed Style File

Brett_Garsed

Australian born Brett Garsed has something we all want as guitarists!
He has a style and technique all of his own and has played with some of the finest fusion noodlers of our time including Frank Gambale, Allan Holdsworth and the late, very great, Shawn lane.

He has also had major chart success with John Farnham and Nelson. After a move to LA he hooked up with 8 finger tapper and producer TJ Helmreich with whom he has recorded several awesome instrumental epics including one of my favorites, 'Uncle Moes Space Ranch'.
