You can practice your whole life and not have what Nuno has. The magic is in his hands and intonation. He has that proverbial "it" we all wish we had!! Fucking amazing!
Nuno is a Guitar God...hands down... anyone else notice Pat playing right along with him during Cupid's Dead?? Whole band is awesome.. most under rated band in history.. my all time favorite group..
the guy is truly Amazing..Nuno is a flawless guitar player.he's got such a percussive approach to his technique.he dosnt sound like your typical shredder which usually sounds very mechanical and lacks feel..Nuno!!!..what an inspiration.
you guys also need to give a ton of credit to Badger (bassist) because for the most part he is playing the same riffs nuno is without cutting corners. Thats crazy for a bassist to do.
Yes so true and if you just listen very closely to the bass he is phenomenal like those bass strings are like 2 or 3 times thicker then guitar strings plus frets wide etc and this bassist is playing scales and intense melodic VERY TIGHT note for note playing unlike regular bass parts where it's steady rhythm to the drums and in same key as guitar bla bla but just BASS SHREDDING so bottom line give credit where credit is due and Nuno and Gary should pull him over and say everyone this bass player works probably harder then the guitar player abd singer but maybe not drummer cuz drums are stamina and strength so yeah explain to audience at every show about the bassist.
This is my fuckin favourite band, Nuno is the most underated guitarist in the world omg. He has THE THING. This little thing most famous guitarists don't have
It's my favourite band and I love Cherone's voice too, i'm talkin about the strip things and stuff, but it's a great band ! My favourites : Decadence Dance, Get The Funk Out, Star, Heman Woman hater :D
Nuno is soooooo good its painfully sweet...I still love the original Extreme record. The thing is...he combines shredding, blues,and funk.....AND classical.....that's unique. Thats....NUNO BETTENCOURT.
Do..You..Wanna..PLAY... just saw Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure for the 437th time since it came out, and that track STILL gets me when their in the mall running amuck.
He is a guitar God, yes, but the lead singer of his band has a too forgettable voice and seems especially compared to him rather forgettable over all, and the marketing has obviously not done a good enough job to advertise them
@@psyopbeats3635 also, when he plays really hard parts like the Its a monster solo, he either sits down or puts the guitar up on his knee, he said in many interviews that he does that because its too damn hard to play them that low lol
@@marcelocesar9936 Aha! I'm glad you told me this before I tried playing these solos with the guitar at crotch level. I have no doubt he sounds cleaner playing sitting down.
4:25 Ingenious sense of timing that made him, and still makes him, so unique compared to so many other players who are great, but all blend into each other after a while. One of a kind talent.
Guitarist that never miss note is Andra Ramadhan from band Dewa 19..mr perfectionist,he play perfect in album and live..listen to song with tittle Pupus,the last solo part so melodic heart break when your loves only one side..
Meraviglioso modo di suonare la chitarra di Nuno Bettencourt 🎻👍🎶 Grazie Mille caro Paolao 1000 per la condivisione e il ottimo videoclip 🤳🎬 Complimenti e un affettuoso saluto 🙋 Buona Domenica ✨💮🌿🇮🇹✔️ Ciaoooo (brano recuperato)🌷
Nuno's lucky to have Pat backing him. Pat gives him space during his solos, despite not being one bit of a slouch himself. Wish Paul Gilbert had similar space in Mr. Big, instead of being crowded out by Sheehan.
Flawless in every aspect. He's in a band that I don't ever listen to but I've watched this video over and over. I've even owned a Nuno sig guitar just on the off chance it was the key to sounding that cool. It wasn't.
Raro. No lo conocía. Tengo 65 años. Conozco more than words...de ahí. Nada q ver. Entonces intenté comparar a quien copia, como todo Salieri. No escuché a Vai ni Malmsteen.Algo Satriani y V. Halen. Un atleta, no me emociona aun
This man is my hero, extreme take us alive was the greatest gig iv seen, followed thru extreme, mourning widows, pop1, RESPECT from a much younger generation
Rest in Peace. It's on Extreme III: III Sides to Every Story. I remember (vaguely, because I was beyond drunk), seeing them in concert back in the early 90's, at a small venue in Chicago
Nuno is my FAVOURITE guitarist because he can play many different styles but in a cohesive way and ALWAYS plays music, not just super fast shredding (which he can do of course). He found a deep crunchy sound that rocks, and has a great sense of rhythm and being the only guitarist in the band makes him cover every angle. And I'm just talking about the electric guitar....
How the frick does he solo like that with the strap so low? I can chug power chords at crotch level but the minute I'd try runs like that I feel like my wrist would break off.
Well, I've seen a lot here on youtube, I like a lot of solos of him, search for "Flower man" if you wanna hear some of the solos that resembles what he started doing since his solo career, the classics are "warheads" "play with me" "Decadence Dance" "Get The Funk Out" "Rest in peace" Then you've got "Exit" of his solo career and "Stiff" if you wanna hear a solo with band coordination like "Cupid's dead" "Last hour" "Watching Waiting" "Mother" "Song for Love" if you want some xpressive solos
![Live in Boston [2009] - Am I Ever Gonna Change - Extreme](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/onrdAd-LbXA/mqdefault.jpg)
The most underated guitar player of all time.
Pedro Lopes Michael Schenker is right up there with him too
The most arrogant stuck up asshole of all time. His talent is is most certainly a crossroads deal.
Ben Van Dyke can’t deny his skills though, just saying.
@@benvandyke5172 Is he? Idk anything but I figured they all must be super nice to keep Gary Cherone in the band lol
Meep Meep Jake E Lee
Nuno is not human... his playing is always flawless, and his sense of rhythm is just insane
That bassist is a beast!
You can practice your whole life and not have what Nuno has. The magic is in his hands and intonation. He has that proverbial "it" we all wish we had!! Fucking amazing!
and he's had it going on for over 30 years and can still do everything he ever could.
Nuno is a Guitar God...hands down... anyone else notice Pat playing right along with him during Cupid's Dead?? Whole band is awesome.. most under rated band in history.. my all time favorite group..
the way that bass player follows nuno is incredible. the envy of any bass player that ever played a bass.
the guy is truly Amazing..Nuno is a flawless guitar player.he's got such a percussive approach to his technique.he dosnt sound like your typical shredder which usually sounds very mechanical and lacks feel..Nuno!!!..what an inspiration.
you guys also need to give a ton of credit to Badger (bassist) because for the most part he is playing the same riffs nuno is without cutting corners. Thats crazy for a bassist to do.
Extreme would not be Extreme with out BADGER !!
Yes so true and if you just listen very closely to the bass he is phenomenal like those bass strings are like 2 or 3 times thicker then guitar strings plus frets wide etc and this bassist is playing scales and intense melodic VERY TIGHT note for note playing unlike regular bass parts where it's steady rhythm to the drums and in same key as guitar bla bla but just BASS SHREDDING so bottom line give credit where credit is due and Nuno and Gary should pull him over and say everyone this bass player works probably harder then the guitar player abd singer but maybe not drummer cuz drums are stamina and strength so yeah explain to audience at every show about the bassist.
You clearly have never listened to any geezer butler, stanley clarke, lemmy killmister, cliff burton or geddy lee. But yea the bassist was on point.
Damn, anything Nuno did in the studio he can do live!
And that is the way in which it ought always to be!
Studio fakers to the gallows pole!
@@PietroRumenta ironic, someone in another comment said the solos are overdubbed in post on the dvd this comes from.
And yet, at 7:56, he is somehow able to pickscratch without using either of his hands. Hmm... 🤔
@@theharvardyard2356 That's not a pickscratch, he is just activating the phaser, that's why it sounds like that
One of the best guitar player of all time. Amazing. Fantastic. Wonderful. God blass Nuno Betencourt.
Relax. He's playing out to the crowd. James and Kirk from Metallica do this to each other too, as well as other guitarists. It's part of the show.
@@DiabIe37 Yeah but James and Kirk are shit compared to Nuno.
This is my fuckin favourite band, Nuno is the most underated guitarist in the world omg. He has THE THING. This little thing most famous guitarists don't have
A lot of singers do it but don't act like stripers xD
It's my favourite band and I love Cherone's voice too, i'm talkin about the strip things and stuff, but it's a great band ! My favourites : Decadence Dance, Get The Funk Out, Star, Heman Woman hater :D
Stop the world is realy cool yeah and the others too. All Extreme musics are great hha
Ren Rhoads Gary and Nuno got into more than one fight about Gary's antics on stage.
I don't know if it was that extreme but they had their run ins with each other.
Just an extraordinary player. Super accurate single note playing and a bitching rhythm chops. He's an animal
One of the most underrated genius guitar wizards ...
he's so freaking good. One of my most favourite guitarists
For those who knows about guitar playing and playing with your soul: this guy is one of the ten list to remember
Absolutely!! He's even loved by Brian May of Queen
@@BigCleverName Bettencourt is more skillef technically but I think May is a better songwtiter.
@@thursoberwick1948 there's no competition. both are awesome
It seems that even twenty years later, Nuno's chops are winning him new fans! ;-)
Best Portuguese guitar player ever !!!
Melhor guitarrista tuga de sempre!!!!
one of the best human guitarists to ever live on the planet without country of origin even being considered he's one of the best ever.
Nuno never got the recognition he deserved. The most underrated guitarist in the world!
Nuno is soooooo good its painfully sweet...I still love the original Extreme record. The thing is...he combines shredding, blues,and funk.....AND classical.....that's unique. Thats....NUNO BETTENCOURT.
Just love to see Pat Badger and Nuno together! Magic!
One of my all time favourite guitarist ever!!! True rocker!!! Love his execution and passion in every note that he plays.....brilliant!!!
I've been to hundreds of concerts already and this is the best guitar player I've ever seen.
Nuno´s Amazing by many standards. for one, he can play live and still sound unbelieveable, unlike many "guitargods"...
Gustavo sperotto da silveira its not just the technique that matters...
If any guitarist has achieved the level of true Guitar God, they can play it live too. Let's not dilute the term please
I loved his playing when I was 25 .. now at 50 I still think he is technically one of the very VERY best ever!
fuckin unreal.. the bassist tuning his guitar while hes playing just killed me
Saw them live three days ago, in a small club in Lisbon, completely full of people. More than technical talent, they know about to make a good show.
he's so goddamn accurate..cheers nuno
Do..You..Wanna..PLAY... just saw Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure for the 437th time since it came out, and that track STILL gets me when their in the mall running amuck.
Non mi perderò mai un loro concerto! Nuno è masterpiece!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️. Ma tutti loro fantastici
1:21 Nuno: God, I'm bored.
clutch2827 what song was that?
Jonathan Lalrempuia the song is called play with me
😍
he's so underrated!!! one of the top 5 guitarists of the world
Just watched Nuno performance this exact video live. Seriously amazing!
+KevinKoolx - Halo 5 Gameplay Videos At the Generation Axe concert?
I like how nearly every time the singer begins singing after the guitar solo, the video jumps to the next solo...
Cuz this video's intent is to show the best guitar solos of Nuno Bettencourt...
Nuno shreds like no other. I love you Nuno forever!
why so many people forget about him? i think he is one of the best guitarist in this earth!
He is a guitar God, yes, but the lead singer of his band has a too forgettable voice and seems especially compared to him rather forgettable over all, and the marketing has obviously not done a good enough job to advertise them
i don't know bout others but his guitar position is really hard to play fast.
so, he's a monster.
He has longer arms. Its difficult to shred that low.
@@psyopbeats3635 also, when he plays really hard parts like the Its a monster solo, he either sits down or puts the guitar up on his knee, he said in many interviews that he does that because its too damn hard to play them that low lol
Tom morello from ragtm is the exact opposite. The man place as high as his chest
He doesn't miss a single note, it's so scary :|
He is a monste, but, the majority of DVD solos are overdubbed
Marcelo Cesar you're right. I saw this concert on UA-cam pre-overdubbed. A lot of bands do it before release.
@@marcelocesar9936 Aha! I'm glad you told me this before I tried playing these solos with the guitar at crotch level. I have no doubt he sounds cleaner playing sitting down.
@@theharvardyard2356 have you watched the game of thrones video ?
@@a79kornklown2000 I have, and I definitely think he blew the others away with his solo in that video!
So much talent , extreme good looks and all rolled into one. Nuno rocks
The scary thing is that Nuno doesn't even look like he's trying
exactly - flips Gary off, then proceeds to nail EVERY NOTE and articulation. He's a freak and we're lucky to have him.
Play with me is actually the craziest solo of all times.. Great work
Completely under-rated professional. Great performance.
4:25 Ingenious sense of timing that made him, and still makes him, so unique compared to so many other players who are great, but all blend into each other after a while. One of a kind talent.
Does he never miss a note? It's just so fkn insane in some many levels.
@Derek Charette lol no
Mistakes, I counted at least 20 in the first 3 minutes. He's good though.
Guitarist that never miss note is Andra Ramadhan from band Dewa 19..mr perfectionist,he play perfect in album and live..listen to song with tittle Pupus,the last solo part so melodic heart break when your loves only one side..

Don't forget, Pat plays a mean bass! It accompanies Nuno's solo's very well!
Nuno's lucky to have Pat backing him. Pat gives him space during his solos, despite not being one bit of a slouch himself. Wish Paul Gilbert had similar space in Mr. Big, instead of being crowded out by Sheehan.
Thanks to him I did buy a Washburn N4,13 years ago and Nuno has signed it twice! ;-)
Flawless in every aspect. He's in a band that I don't ever listen to but I've watched this video over and over. I've even owned a Nuno sig guitar just on the off chance it was the key to sounding that cool. It wasn't.

His tone is so bright! Accuracy is phenomenal- hero
Nuno is one of the best live guitar players I've ever seen, better live than on the records.
This man is my hero, extreme take us alive was the greatest gig iv seen, followed thru extreme, mourning widows, pop1, RESPECT from a much younger generation
Nuno is from Portugal! he is a beast guitar!
What is Portugal? Is that like a band?
Utterly incredible. The guy smashes it every time. I saw Extreme live in Brixton and they were off the chain.
One of my favorite guitarists.
Yo get in touch with Nuno, he used your video for inspiration in his generation axe tour, he said he wanted to say thank you!!
Man this guys is so underrated, i really should of listened to more of his records when i was younger, These guy owns live!
I would give ANYTHING to be with a man like NUNO, he is such a beautiful soul
Omg Nuno is one of the best guitar players of all time
I just won a signed Wasburn acoustic by Nuno! It is sweeeeet!
a beast.!! love Nuno
he is the absolute best!! I will never get tired of listening to him play!
So Great!...use of Ed is evident and perfect!...omg I love his muting abilities!...master class
Nuno you are the best!!
Rest in Peace. It's on Extreme III: III Sides to Every Story. I remember (vaguely, because I was beyond drunk), seeing them in concert back in the early 90's, at a small venue in Chicago
Como tem gente que não gostou? O.O
O cara toca d+! Nuno é F-O-D-A!
Monster Absolute! Thanks NB🔥🎸✨
Such a beast. Too bad people only know if for More than words. But hey, more than words is a masterpiece undoubtedly.
I grew up on the pornograffiti album so I definitely appreciate the legend outside of More Than Words
Really unreal ... Love the sound
So clean with almost no delay...incredible...
At 7:20 one of the most meanest, kick ass riffs ever!!! Gracias Nuno!!!
he should have an inside "clock" that runs faster than the average human. He's too synchronyzed, unbelievable
painted my nails black to see if would help.....nope...
+dudefrombarrie practicing does!
lol!
hahahaha
That's funny!
dudefrombarrie you used the wrong shade of black
1:20 yawn followed by "its boring" , this guy is a beast
Never heard of it and just love it
NEVER EVER WAS EXTREME FAN, BUT ALWAYS LOVED NUNO, FUKN GREAT !!
Love how he plays it like its as natural as breathing
oh my, so good to the ears !!! one of my favorite guitarist !!! nuno !!!

Put your foot on the monitor. Not joking.
@@teleblaster81 I mean yeah, but he doesn't do that in the video. Although he does just sit down on the drum riser so there's that.
Just years of getting used too plus the dude is tall as fuck and has long ass arms
here because I wanted to see who was behind that damn guitar in rhianna's kiss it better song and im not disappointed.
BelleLeilaNoir
no wonder that's the only good song Rhianna made in years. what a coincidence lol
Damn, he plays so effortless and clean live!!!
amazing player and very innovative. Excellent!!
I love how nunos solos seem to change mood in the middle of them flawlessly
Wowwwwwwwwwww very sick concept solos
I'm very happy that I recently discovered Nuno Bettencourt. Like . . . this man is incredible at the guitar holy shit.
Nuno's a machine...he has a very impressive groove. A quite underrated...he's one of the best 10 ever!
Amo a ese hombre!!!
Somos varias
Well, I've seen a lot here on youtube, I like a lot of solos of him, search for "Flower man" if you wanna hear some of the solos that resembles what he started doing since his solo career, the classics are "warheads" "play with me" "Decadence Dance" "Get The Funk Out" "Rest in peace"
Then you've got "Exit" of his solo career and "Stiff" if you wanna hear a solo with band coordination like "Cupid's dead"
"Last hour" "Watching Waiting" "Mother" "Song for Love" if you want some xpressive solos
nuno i love ur guitar solos how nice i like you
Clean and precisely done!
Daaaammnnn Nuno rocks
Nuno is just not of this earth , his chops are killer !!
Just amazing . One of the best
Vai tocar bem assim só em outro planeta, esse Nuno é fera na guitarra, parabéns Nuno, você toca muito, mas muito mesmo 👏👏👏👏
un grande nunoo
NUNO IS A GOD, BADGER IS A BEAST. K FIG A MONSTER, CHERONE JUST A PLAIN COOL VOCALIST!
Crazy incredible. A lot of kudos to Badger and the whole band in general too.
Thanks Paolao! Made my day that!
best guitarist in the world.
I-Y-O......lets not go there....just say ONE of the best. I will say he is DA(MN) good
Best band in the world after Queen and Beatles
NO! His master is Eddie van Halen.
No such thing.
Tasteful shredding
truly amazing
just incredible
