    Manuel Alejandro Rodriguez Madrigal
    Kiko Loureiro discusses his use of arpeggios and hybrid picking in some of his songs. He explains how he uses open triads in an Eric Johnson style in his song "Gray Stone Gateway", employing strict alternate picking as he walks through the Em, F#m, G#m7b5, B7, and B7b9 chords. When descending from Em to D#, D, C, and B, he uses hybrid picking for some arpeggios. His song "Twisted Horizon" showcases his hybrid picking technique through chord progressions like D-ABm-G-F#m-A, incorporating pentatonic scales and a pseudo-pentatonic major
