On The Road with Nuno Bettencourt Guitarist Magazine HD

[@inteira2002]

he is a really cool down to earth guy!

[@wnctube1]

the most gifted artists have great senses of humor...love how Nuno doesn't take himself seriously

[@BernieGuitar]

Spends 10 times less money than everyone else, Sounds 10 times better than everyone else.

[@wdbmusicchannel3849]

Absolutely

[@accentontheoff]

He’s one of the great guitarists. Right up there with (insert any name you like here). Can’t understand why only a small group of people know this.

[@luleetomas2108]

Because they are only rhianna fans and not 80s and 90s kids lol

[@accentontheoff]

@@luleetomas2108 True true.

[@robertroyfellows]

How refreshing it is to see no MIDI controlled business, no complicated crap on stage. Just a pedal board into an amp's effect loop. Good stuff Nuno...

[@MR-hm5hw]

Love his ethic.

[@JulianDiesel]

Nuno you're the best

[@ducky811]

I absolutely LOVE Nuno's setup. Just as stripped down guitar/effects pedals/amps!!! So awesome to see someone be able to get AWESOME guitar sounds without all that refrigerator sized rack crap. If that's your rig and it works for you..then cool for you. I am a basic Nuno style gear person.

[@PaulofernandesilvaSilva]

nuno is so cool !

[@MsRedchurch4]

It's always the way. The best musicians are always the quietest and the nicest. Nuno is a brilliant musician. I wonder how Rihana persuaded him to tour? He doesn't need the exposure or the money I guess

[@TexasGuyGsxr34]

Sometimes simple is always better than disrupting your pure tone with electronic nonsense, Very great technical guitar playing, great mentality towards music, and good tone, thats why hes one of my favorites out of 3.

[@marviosantos]

I think I've commented on this video before, but what they hey!:) Kids, take notice, this should be what your rig looks like, and Oh! By the way, that's how you "relic" a guitar, by playing the F$^%&$*ck out of it! Nuno is legit man, gimme a guitar and an amp I'll make music...

[@MrBillinchar]

Never been into Extreme. But this guy is a talented guitar player. Tone in those hands.

[@luleetomas2108]

He’s still so pretty 😍

[@delandreese]

Nuno seems like a really cool guy!

[@1alexanderkup1]

thank you for response just found an answer from the web.. "What are the big speakers at a concert called?" "They are called "PA" speakers. PA meaning "Public Address" is a large loudspeaker design to deliver sound to a large group of audience. You'll often see these large speakers at clubs, concerts, and cinemas. There are two types of PA speakers. "Passive" and "Active" speakers......."

[@onkel44lekno]

the ADA MP-1 the shit! i wish i still had mine.

[@adamp2]

i got 2 one modded one stock :)

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

+adamp2 I have one but got a bit tired of the sound. I still love them If you engage the chorus but set it completely flat with no oscillation just so it runs through the circuitry and that gives a wonderful liquid-fluid sound that's like wet but not chorusing at all. Please tell me of the mod you did as I have heard various things about this previously.

[@systematicdesign]

El rig del gran Nuno. Love it!

[@georgiemetallica]

This guy is an amazing guitar player! Dno why people are slagging him off

[@TheMeridian808]

Well, they can slagg him all they want .. It's obvious what's at hand...

[@ducky811]

100% agree. I am a basic Nuno style rig person. Washburn MGs/4 stomp boxes/amps for me.

[@BillDerBerg]

... P0rnograffiti was recorded w/ an ADA MP-1 preamp but it wasn't Nuno's... it belongs to Michael Wagner. The guitar used on the album wasn't an N4 either... it was a STEINBERGER GM-2T... literally the exact same setup that Vito Bratta used to record Pride w/ as both the guitar & the MP-1 belong to Michael Wagner... :)

[@evalex71]

Really? That is an awesome bit of trivia

[@BillDerBerg]

Momo Bobo ... using common equipment made for a quick and easy set up and recording session... :)

[@ChadVanHalen5150]

Skid Row, who also worked with Wagner, used very similar equipment early on haha... And it's seems Mr. Wagner was the only who could make the MP-1s sound good

[@BillDerBerg]

... Chad I believe Michael used the very same MP-1 for Skid Row... after all the preamp belonged to the studio... :p

[@AmielRocker]

Yes but is white lion 1st record is an ocean of reverb on everything..:P

[@ducky811]

This is my kind of setup!!!! Guitar+small pedal board+amps!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheSonsofHorusx]

epic rig bra

[@jasonbittencourt]

well..... thanks, but i was talking about the board underneath the GT-8 and those pedals. If anyone who REALLY knows what i am talking about, please kindly let me know.

[@99Jacksoniana]

Can someone please tell me what he says from 2:18 to 2:26?

[@fujosej]

He's joking

[@99Jacksoniana]

yeah but did he say?

[@midnightquake1789]

99Jacksoniana The interviewer asks Nuno how he got involved on Rihanna's tour; Nuno anwers he was stalking her for months because he wanted to date her, but she wasn't attracted to him, so she proposed that he would play the guitar for her shows. But that's all a joke.

[@99Jacksoniana]

Thank you. I just wanted to know what he said, since I'm not a native english speaker and I don't understand everything.

[@evalex71]

+99Jacksoniana He actually said "I camped out on her front lawn for about 6 months, hoping she would talk to me so I could ask her on a date, but she said 'I'm not really attracted to you, but would you like to play guitar'". Just a funny joke

[@Alesvetina]

Hi! Does anyone know how he changes the channels and solo boost on his amp? Because I see no footswitch for that. Does the GT8 have that function? Thanks

[@jasonbittencourt]

who makes that kind of pedal board?

[@ralfcaetano]

hahah interview guy:"oh my god those flying v's are amazing!" nuno:"oh, aren't mine those are rhiannas" interview guy:"you're a legend why does she have cooler guitars than you?" nuno: " cause she plays guitar on this one song" (awkward silence) o.o

[@VictorBettencourt]

@runeer I always ask myself same question

[@RokDAWG1]

I believe one amp is set clean & one dirty & there's an A/B switcher. Nothing complex

[@AmielRocker]

He said that Tony Bruno is Rihanna.s Music Director, he is a badass Guitarist, he played with Saraya…. so he know what s a show with gts!

[@Innhouseproductions]

Hey if Nuno wants a really accurate replica of a his first n4 he should as me, accurate to 0.01

[@runeer]

@bernhardtsen74 Ibanez Inf 3 & 4 on ESP KH??

[@runeer]

Where's his Padauk N4??

[@sweenykim]

NO NONSENSE RIG = Tube amp, a few outboard effects & it sounds GREAT!

[@Jarektv2]

is that intervieuwer David Gilmour's son?

[@bbuteo]

lol

[@evileye68]

Jarek Filik .

[@BernieGuitar]

Who is Rihanna?

[@MrG100000008]

Thumbnail looked like David Gilmor interviewing Nuno Bettencourt

[@antonigartua6808]

Which guitar stands are those??

[@ChadVanHalen5150]

Ultracase, industry standard

[@kefere]

mostly for bridge: bill lawrence L500 and neck: seymour duncan '59

[@1alexanderkup1]

are you sure it's not a power amp?

[@schlagdog]

Wow, he basically has his BASS turned almost off on the amp. Tight!

[@NMVTabs]

the interviewer got really nervous, he kept saying "yea".

[@wseeback]

WHAT KIND'VE PICKUPS GOD DAMN IT!

[@superclaw900]

Custom wound Bill Lawrence bridge, Seymour duncan 59 in the neck. It's always been like that

[@ejstar245]

👍♥

[@tsafanyoh]

@radekxito Ha...thought the same....

[@PedroTorisu]

FALA PORTUGUÊS NUNO

[@halidharis]

woow he use BOSS GT8..

[@cotesanchile]

No rack? It doesn`t matter...Nuno is the best!

[@1alexanderkup1]

he talks about PA. Power Amp?

[@jhop5150]

@ralfcaetano lol they're both refraining from saying she can't play guitar but just holds it on stage for style

[@letteratura2]

@cotesanchile he start with only rack... ada mp1 etc ...... now amplifier!!!!!!

[@1alexanderkup1]

yeah, seems like it is

[@robertroyfellows]

It's a Boss GT-8

[@ChipRobertsOfficial]

"Your other band, Extreme" Let's get this straight, Rihanna is Nuno's other band, not the other way around. Extreme I and II are both funk metal journeys!

[@bernhardtsen74]

@runeer with the crappy Ibanez inf 3 and 4 pickups!

[@emrahercancakir]

Boss GT 8 huh? wow

[@migueltabora]

the interviewer is David Gilmour

[@bernhardtsen74]

@runeer he traided it in for an ltd kh202!lol!

[@sigurd2498]

Why does he play with her? Gawd.

[@Burps___]

sigurd2498 Money

[@runeer]

@bernhardtsen74 at least ESP KH lol!!!

[@lauraangel7339]

Guitar

[@SparcoC4]

HIGH FIVE

[@joshmarkraj]

What's David Gilmour doing ?? interviewing guitar players....?! 😃

[@javiXYX]

look at Rhiannas` guitars, and i am sure that she can´t play two right chords and i have a shitty epiphone...... i just can not belive this

[@ZEGO24x]

Thou speaketh through thy backsideth. Do your homework...

[@DobutamineLover]

PA = Public Address

[@demkil3441]

fuck! that guy looks like David Gilmour

[@secondcitysin]

No no, it's the other way around..Rihanna is Nuno's singer..

[@Radekzr]

this guy looks like david gilmour

[@TheBoonggaboongga]

Now, he plays for Rihanna? That Rihanna? Sad.

[@mck974]

I agree with ZEG.... you obviously have no idea who or what you are speaking about

[@shuszzam]

rihana ? are u serious ? omg

[@raps17]

He needs money because extreme was not that big.

[@nickcg]

u see... that he is not happy for playing with rihanna hahhaha

[@Amira2011.]

Rihanna sux can't believe he did it :/

[@JNgo303]

He’s such a sweet guy

[@TheyLetMeOutOnSunday]

Pahaha. Not attracted to Nuno. Sure. Like that's possible.

[@plstrom]

Even the best guitar player in the world needs to work... too sad it's in such a shitty gig !

[@Skyy-avari]

While your talking to him, explain to him what a key is in music and some real scales that go with that key, from his playing he obviously knows nothing about music theory. !!!

[@bernhardtsen74]

@runeer total blasphemy!

[@SparcoC4]

come on Rihanna's guitarist? He isn't better than ANY rock/blues guitarist.
