Pereira's technique consists of fast picking, synchronized with strong left hand co-ordination using all fingers to create fast movements along the fretboard, with a constant attention to melody. Gonçalo also brought back an electric guitar adaptation of the song "Movimento Perpétuo" (Eternal Movement) by Carlos Paredes.[citation needed] Gonçalo Pereira's main and most obvious influences in guitar technique and songwriting are Nuno Bettencourt, Steve Vai, and Paul Gilbert.
