Kiko Loureiro of Angra--Young Guitar Video

Kiko Loureiro (born on June 16, 1972 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is a Brazilian guitarist who has worked with such bands as Angra, Silent Moon, and Blezqi Zatzas.
Loureiro began studying music and playing acoustic guitar at age 11. Inspired by artists like Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, and Randy Rhoads, he moved to the electric guitar at 13 and by 16 had already joined two bands, Legalize and A Chave, and was playing in nightclubs in São Paulo. At 19, he helped found Brazilian power metal band Angra, with whom he still plays.
Due to the increase in popularity of power metal, Loureiro has become quite successful, both playing in Angra and as a solo artist. He is known for his skill on the guitar, having written columns for and appeared on the cover of the magazines Cover Guitarra, Guitar & Bass, and Young Guitar.
This video is from the special edition of Young Guitar magazine.

Thank You Gaurav!! It's nice to see brazilian musicians here.
Also, for those in the area of classical guitar, search for pieces of Yamandú Costa!

oh, and...recently I saw a video from Paul Gilbert where he plays some classical stuff... can anyone tell me the name??

thank you again =D

Well abhi, just because the guy isn't teaching doesn't make it a bad video. You can still learn by observing him carefully. Even Yngwie Malmsteen's Hot Licks video is a lot more performance oriented instead of being a tutorial video. So don't take away the hard work people put into making that video,just enjoy the show for a while :-)

And thanks for the comment Leonardo,i am an indian and i have a lot of brazillian friends through orkut who appreciate my blog. Obrigado :-)
The videos of Paul Gilbert containing classical music are Guitars From Mars 1 and 2.
