Kiko and Yngwie... two of the most relaxed picking hands in rock. It's almost magic watching their right hands. Yngwie's right hand is mesmerizing to watch... as is Kiko's, but in a different way. Yet both are, or least appear to be almost unbelievably relaxed and even gentle with their picking attacks.
I don't see Kiko as much... but I could watch Yngwie's right hand for hours. Yngwie doesn't even come close to using the supposed "required" downward-slant picking technique for shredding either. If you study Yngwie he implements a LOT of flat picking... slanting only briefly when doing fast progressions from the lower to higher strings. And Kiko with the change of how he now holds his pick... different, but so smooth.
Great players, for sure. Kiko seems to be a genuine nice guy on top of it all. I don't think there's an overly cocky bone in the guy's body... seems very down-to-earth. Or, at least it appears to be that way.

I can see how he feels each relaxed (non angled pick) swept note like a drummer would feel each single stroke roll note (say a sextuplet), played faster and slower. In a clean, musical way - at the same volume - faster, then slower. But this dude is smoother with one hand than I am with two on a drum 😞 ☺️.

Kiko has some of the best economy of motion I’ve ever seen. Interesting too that he’s left handed playing right handed. I’m the same and the issue for me is complicated slap patterns on bass. You have to learn the rhythm in reverse which makes it more complicated. If I had my time back I would have learned on a left handed bass/guitar.
