Such an under appreciated genius of guitar and music.

[@TheAxe4Ever]

In the world of guitar, there are two masters of the instrument that come to mind and blow me away everytime they play, and there names are Bettencourt and Gilbert.

Nuno is straight out amazing,...and no one is forgetting Darrell, Dime is in my heart always, the ultimate player of that generation, right on. Not to take away from Nuno, he is a massive hero of the instrument in a special way, a god of the riff, a master of the solo, a rythym guitar player destroyer, love you NUNO, one of my top 3 guitar heros ever, Nuno is straight out AMAZING!!

[@edmatper]

On the CDs Nuno is awesome. On stage he's a God... pray and cry to play like this. All this rage, this virtuosoty and this amazing rythmic and gimmick instinct is amazing !

[@mulotwo]

Nuno is a so great talented guitar player !

[@zaggnut13]

His Non-Extreme stuff is great, too. CREATIVE

[@handsoff02]

This might be sad to say but this is what 90% of EXTREME fans want to hear : NUNO shredding on the guitar

[@Kaelan66]

great percussive brown sound

[@ChillToThisSong]

@dannon2010 Watch some of his other videos, he brings his solos together way better than shredders and he writes some awesome music.

@Zappafan1980 I got the cd, got it from a friend.....dunno how to get it actually though, my friend got it in england at a guthrie govan workshop.....it was amazing. that dude plays sooooooo freakin awsome, his technic is a mix of Steve Morse, Greg Howe and Frank Gambale. I think guys like Guthrie govan play in a higher level actually than Nuno Bettencourt, but still nunos solos are incredibly phrased and his technical skills are brilliant. Yeah i checked the projekt gentle hearts, awsome dude.

His amp sounds a lot like a Marshall Vintage Modern with a boost in front. I'm kinda sad to notice that he has fixed up his solos in the studio for the DVD. He's awesome live none the less.

[@Treythemusician]

@TheAxe4Ever your forgetting Darrell

[@EmotionalShredd]

@Zappafan1980 agreed, but dont forget Greg Howe and Guthrie Govan. Richie kotzen comes quite close to Nunos style in my opinion, but i have to say nunos solos are so amazingly put into place and the way how they are rythmically phrased. just unbelievable.

[@chico280]

Is Rhianna and her band still playing back up to nuno?

[@EmotionalShredd]

holy shit, i think he his solos are even better than richie kotzens

[@dannon2010]

Seems like just another shredder to me...although I am no expert on shredders, I'd have to care. Fast and errr... furious...? OK, just fast. if I want furious, I put my old Jesus Lizard albums on.
