- Firstly, thanks for all the tremendous feedback on my cover for Rise.( • Extreme "Rise" )
I didn't think anyone would even really see it as I did not have but a couple dozen subscribers and haven't posted too much on here. (I tend to post more guitar stuff on my IG: the_a_miller)
As requested multiple times, here is a breakdown of the parts for Extreme's latest single release "Rise". Their new album comes out June 9th
1 thing I want to mention is that for as long as I’ve been playing Extreme songs, it never ceases to amaze me that 30 years later I can still discover little nuances that I hadn’t picked up before. I’m sure this song being so new in particular, will be no different. Plus, I cant wait to see and study Nuno playing it live.
*Edit to say one alternate i forgot to mention in the vid is playing the opening tremolo picking notes on the high E string which Nuno does live.
Sorry, I'm not sophisticated enough to tab this stuff out for you guys and put it on screen. I'll get there someday! lol
I'm not too accustomed to doing these but I hope you get something useful out of this. Feel free to post questions or make suggestions below. I'll do my best to answer.
Always cool to connect with fellow Nuno/Extreme fans.
P.S. Definitely check out Rick Beato's video of the song/solo if you haven't already. • The Nuno Bettencourt S...

Fantastic lesson - love your style!
Glad you found it helpful!
Killer job! Thank you
your playing makes air flow
😁🙏🏻
Great job dude. Every other video is "I don't know what he's doing. That's crazy." This guy does it great. With the palm muting you can't tell you're not picking it. Sounds great buddy! Quick lift for such a demanding tune. Thanks for posting this!
Great to hear and glad you found it useful, thanks!
Wow! Amazing work. Thanks.
Great! Glad it helped!
Thanks dude!
I subbed after the play through!

Love the wall of Washburn guitars! Thanks!!
Thanks! I call it the “Washburn Walk of Fame” 😂
23:30
Why did I feel happy hearing you play the crazy part😮

Thank you for this brother. It’s a killer solo. Thanks once again
You got it, hope it helps!
@@the_a_miller Pls take a look at Combustion from Giant 3 Dann Huff for me. I don’t have much spare time to break it down and I would love to play it. Cheers Brother
What is this “Spare Time” you speak of? 😂
Thanks, buddy! Really appreciated!
You’re welcome! Now go get it! 💪🏻😁

Thank you Sir great work!
Glad it helped, thanks!
Many thanks for this 🙏🙏🙏
👍 Glad it helped
whoa!!!! thank you for this., i love nuno and this by far the wildest thing ive heard from him., ., great breakdown ., now its time to learn it., and i cant play fast at all lol
Gotta learn to crawl, before you learn to walk, before you learn to jog, before you learn to run, before you learn to sprint. 💪🏻
Just practice it consistently and you’ll make great progress!
Thanks very much!!! Great job!
Glad it helped!
This is absolutely my all time favorite Nuno solo and he has done great ones before this.
Nice! And he’s done some crazy great ones!
Get the Funk Out is mine.. I love Nuno's groove.
Subscribed and ready to take my N2 (original 1st version) out of the closet. Thanks, man!!!
Original N2? Nice! 🙏🏻🤘👍
👏👏👏👏
Great lesson, nice guitar collection too
🙏🏻 Glad it was helpful!
great job man,thanks for sharing
Glad you found it helpful! 👍
Good stuff man, very helpful! Also love all the Nuno guitars and I even see his old Randall Sig amps. I need to see if you ever covered solo of Get The Funk Out now.
Thanks, and glad it helped! You’d have to scroll through my IG to see that one. The_a_miller
Jan 2016 post. I went back and checked. 😁
Thanks a bunch man, what a great lesson! Please keep them coming!
Glad it was helpful to you, thanks!
As an Extreme fan of three decades, the wildest thing about this whole song is that it’s suddenly in (drop D) standard tuning after a career of tuning down a half step.
It is unusual certainly, but every now and then he writes a song in a different tuning. For example “Run” is in Open E tuning. That’s whack. 😂
You could say it was Extreme
I find it odd that Beato thinks he’s picking this…maybe it’s just because Rick is more of a jazz cat and less of a shredding “purist”. He’s DEFINITELY not picking this. Nuno has a great handle on the palm muted legato technique…always has. Palm muted legato has this brilliant illusion of sounding very, VERY picked. But it’s not…that hard transient sound comes from a reasonably hard palm mute coupled with a confident, rhythmic legato. That’s not to say that Nuno isn’t picking certain notes. He certainly is…especially when starting on an open note…there’s basically no other choice. But that’s not where the bulk of *that sound* comes from. If you wanna develop that sound…just run your 3 note per string scales legato and palm mute it. You’ll notice that it sounds like you’re picking like a mental patient. It’s one of my favorite “shock and awe” techniques to bust out here and there…ridiculous, clean speed without the hassle of picking every note.
Bingo!
Great breakdown, new subscriber here
Appreciate that, glad it was helpful! 🙏🏻
ほんとカッコイイ、憧れます！
ありがとう
🙏🏻🤘👍
Thank you 🙏🍀🙏
🤘👍
A wall of 4Ns! - Nice!
I might have a bit of a problem 😂
Hi, the crazy part sounds extremely close to nuno. Respect. Great, great, great job. Even without alternate picking.👍👍
🙏🏻
This is one of the craziest guitar parts I ever heard. Full with picking but sounds like hammer ons with short delay like a wide guitar space. Amazing. That's Nuno...
Thanks for explaining this, he has done this technique several times over the years. Check out the solo for "Peacemaker Die" off 3 sides for another good example of it. He definitely does not pick every note he just heavily palm mutes to give it that percussive effect pretty much like you're doing.
Yup, far be it from me to disagree with Rick on anything. Maybe just this 1 time though. 😂
Thank you🤘🤘🤘
The rhythm of the guitar solo is difficult… !
the hammer ons on the crazy part are percussive, thats because they sound like picking
nice lesson! Thanks for all parts but I think that Nuno plays the riff for chorus on 6string. Try to transfer the same notes you play from A string for E6 string. It will be much deeper and darker. :)
There are 2 places I didn’t mention where there could be an alt way to play a part. That’s one of them. The reason I chose where I did on the A string is because it’s much easier to get the pinch harmonics on the D as opposed to A string at end of solo section. But as stated until we see Nuno play it live, we won’t know for sure. Watch for vids from the MOR cruise soon. 👍
Nuno is using a "fast slap back" delay on the "crazy part".
He's been doing that for years actually.
Yes. You can hear that right in this deconstructed version here! 🙈
So we are at this point, where an amazingly skilled NB fan can play this with no delay while the Original uses whatsoever?
Boy!
nice work on the solo a_miller
Thanks Steve, Hope you get some good stuff out of it!
@@the_a_miller I subscribed also, I just bought an 4N after years of playing my JCS SOLOIST.
did you go to GIT?
@@SK43853 Appreciate it! The 4N has a great feel! Hope you dig it, and yes I did go to MI for a little while back in the late 90s.
hopefully the neck is fairly thin, that's why I bought it instead of the N4
It is! And current N4s are all using the 2.0 spec which is pretty thin. Not Ibanez thin, but pretty comfy.
Great video! I see you have quite the collection of N4's. I'm a drummer who loves to play guitar, but I can't justify paying top dollar for the best N4. Could you recommend one of the cheaper ones? I see there are a lot of versions. I do want to get a good one, but just not for $3K. Thanks.
Thanks Gary! The N4s are priced what they are. If you're looking for a model, you can always search out a used one. The Washburn N4 Facebook group has some deals from time to time a little cheaper than Reverb/ebay. The Swamp Ash model I believe is the cheapest of the N4 models. It has a slightly brighter tone. If you're talking about the other model Nuno guitars, it's a toss up between the N24 and the N2. The N24 is the closest to the N4 but a step down. N2 is still decent for the money with a little thicker neck profile. Avoid the N1 altogether. Hope that helps!
I'm so jealous of the look and talent. ....teaches us how to play the sickest guitar solo in years while answering that age old question....what would it look like if a rockNroll super soldier of shred was created by taking jerry seinfeld and splicing his dna with that of nuno and steve vai
😂 Hey I’ve been told I could be the Love child of Nuno and Warren DeMartini so I guess you’re not too far off base here. lol
So; you got more N4's than anyone else I know of.... Any tips on where to buy em and what price is right? :) I saw Nuno 4 times in the early 90-ies and I had an N2 (boooo) and its time to up my game... :D
Believe it or not I know some people who have more! But definitely check the usual places. eBay and Reverb. Reverb has a couple nice ones up right now. Including a 4N. There is also a Washburn N4 owners group on Facebook you could join. People sell there from time to time as well. For a regular one these days anything around 2k is acceptable. That being said there are too many factors to consider when talking about used prices right now. If you see something you like and you’re not sure. Send me the info on it and I’ll let you know. Email is in my UA-cam bio. N4 is definitely a step up from the N2. 👍
@@the_a_miller Yeah, 30 years later I do luckily have some nice ones now. Strandberg was the latest huge surprise. It sees more action than my ESP and my Les Paul combined at this point. Thanks for your input - fingers crossed I find a good N4 shortly. :)
Good job!!! What amp do you use?
Thank you! I believe I was going through the Randall NB King (Nuno's signature model) for this.
@@the_a_miller thank you!!!
For me i'm actually having no real trouble with the crazy part of the solo itself - more trouble with the open strings overpowering the solo. But listening to everyone else it seems it's just part of it. Gotta just mute real heavy and live with it. Probably more noticeable when you are playing yourself all I hear are open strings lol. But definitely comes from focusing on when to pick
Certain techniques are naturally easier for some! And good observations. Thanks for the comment!
How many N guitars do you own?!
Apparently, the answer is: Always 1 less than I need or want. 🤣
You have it exactly down, that muted part. And I do not agree with Rick's interpretation, he's making the pattern too complex (you are doing a slight variation which I tend to believe is the right one), and indeed it's just impossible that this is pure picking (you're being very humble and polite on that aspect, but you are definitely right).
Lovely effort, and you know, the same video but with better editing would shoot you up on youtube. Thanks a lot yet again.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on that! Yeah, I’m a bit editing deficient. Will try to kick it up a notch at some point. I mostly just do IG posts, and then this thing kinda blew up, so I’ll look into it. Cheers 🍻
@@the_a_miller Also, not related to anything, but trying to play it myself with your fine tuition here, I keep thinking two things about that muted part: a) it sounds like Tool when slowed down, and b) It reminds me of some of the techniques Tosin Abasi uses when striking one string but then hammering on elsewhere, kind of a way to go economic about movement.
Even while giving an instructional you can't stop yourself from doing the guitarist stank face when hitting those bends.
It’s a curse! 😂
The lead "crazy part" reminds me of VHs"I'm the one".........on steroids
Interesting, I would not have put that together. Maybe the open string part near the intro?
LOL when u break down a solo and have to label a portion THE CRAZY PART - u know its a NUNO solo!!!!
Right? 😂😂😂
strings 09 or 0,10?
I think these are 9-46 hybrid slinkys (if not, 9s. Only have 1 guitar with 10s)
I think theres a delay on that solo,like the one he did in flight of the wounded bumblebee..
I will be experimenting with that in the next few days. I’m not totally sure tbh. Some people have been saying that. I recorded the cover a couple days after it came out and wasn’t even thinking about it. It was enough to just try to play the notes in the ballpark. 😂
@@the_a_miller
Yes my man,ill be waiting for it…now i gotta practice these,✌️☺️
Different type of delay than bumblebee solo and first part of the “crazy part” fast palm mutes was raw (no effects).
Ive done it,i tried the delay thing..and also the tapping style😊
@@mazterford And what did you find out? I tried the dotted 8th note repeat but my setting was for the Bumblee tune and it was kind of a mess. lol
You have to put a Nail Color someday😅
Been there, done that my guy 😂
Used to play in an Extreme Tribute band. Lol
@@the_a_miller wow great to hear from u! 🤘
Amazing playing dude sub from me 🎸🤘
Appreciate that, thanks!
Your tremolo picking is horrible
But everything else is really good man good video. Probably shouldve opened with that lmao
If you ask me,,, i hear alot of Ronnie Le’Tekro in Nunos solo,,, that slo motion thing, the palm muting, the sound, etc,, if i didnt hear people raving about Nunos new solo, i would have thought it was Le’Tekro.
Interesting, I’m not familiar with him. Thanks, will have to check out.
Holy shit. Never thought of this but you are spot on. Letekro had killer muting chops. Caught Between the Tigers is textbook. Good observation
