Nuno Bettencourt Talks Spark 2, Yngwie, and Getting Snubbed by the Super Bowl

[@laloutre9106]

Thank you Nuno for these words. It's sometimes discouraging for me because I started learning guitar when I was 38 and I know I'll never be a very good guitarist. But your words comfort me because I really love to play guitar. You are one of the greatest guitarists of all time for me and knowing that you think that, in the end, it's not a big deal to never become very capable at guitar, feels good. You are my role model and if I picked up a guitar one day it's because of you. So thank you Nuno, thank you for your music, your talent, thank you for being my inspiration and my favorite artist for decades, thank you for being you, thank you for everything.

@@laloutre9106 you can do it 👍👍 I didn't really actually start playing until my early 20's..

[@davidgerlach1132]

AT 19:20, probably the wisest and honest statement I've ever heard Nuno make. Very good, and humble.

[@robphillips8351]

Nuno Bettencourt is the man.. major influence on guitarist today 👍👍

Nice interview, Nuno is an absolutely amazing human

[@douglas71322]

Nuno is so grounded to earth!!!!

[@leonwolfe536]

Hey Nuno! I interviewed you an Mike during the Warhead relese. My opinion stays the same: you have also changed the musical geography. I still look at Do you want to play, and collect myself before im forced to poop. Well done!

I love Nuno!!!

❤. Great interview guys. I just ordered the Spark 2 the other day. I have been mainly a tube Amp guy for 65 years when I first started playing guitar. I've had a few of the digital Fenders and Marshall's along with digital effects. Most just don't have it for me. But this Spark 2 is a different animal I'm thinking. I will at least play it around the house or jam with some of the guys, I will take it on stage at least once just to see how it will really performs like. Played my first gig at 14 for about 250 people then later played for around 30,000 now most of my venues like next week will be for about 100. The size venue doesn't matter anymore to me. I've had a guitar in my hands for 65 years even with arthritis I will never put it down. Have a good on my friends and keep playing those strings. P.S. I can't wait until I get that little sucker here in the mail, I've already pre loaded the app and started designing basic patches for it.

I couldn't agree more about the Mini. I purchased it before it was even available because I loved the idea of cordless. When I got it I was blown away at how big it sounded. That thing kicks solid ass. I agree with everything Nuno said including the Van Halen stuff. What a force that guy is. I think the only thing we would disagree on here is who is your favorite guitar player. But that's ok. Rock on.

Grande Nuno!

[@bluematrix5001]

But also requires a huge capacity, vision feeling and creativity to create a solo that fits. impacts and works for the song and that can have melodic and high technical level, like Nuno's solos and few othe badass guitar p[layers....to know how to balance both worlds is not so easy and require ton of talent, great taste and creativity.

Where can we buy Nuno wine?

My bass is my cape. Putting in the practice is where it's at.

[@thegolfingmusician6345]

Somebody needs to cast Nuno as a ‘Syndicate Crime Boss’ in a Breaking Bad style movie.

[@griff4366]

I've had a Spark amp for 3 years, but I spend far more time using BiasFx 2 for both playing and recording on Reaper. I can't see a reason to get spark 2. Great interview...

[@streamofconsciousness5826]

Getting in the Flow in the reward for practicing. When you don't have to think and your hands just go you have breached a barrier between Reality and some other vague yet detailed World. Architects of invisible paintings.

He's right, nobody's touched Eddie...

NUNO!

[@radoslavcap4790]

Nuno talks, marketing is running, his preset is advertised but is missing in ToneCloud. And support is silent. :(

[@GermanViking]

I think they are working on a preset pack like the Hendrix pack or something like that.

[@radoslavcap4790]

@@GermanViking That's something else and it's described here - search for "OFFICIAL GEAR COLLECTION FOR SPARK & BIAS FX 2" I mean promoted BettenBrown preset from the official Spark 2 page. Even Nuno as artist is missing in Tone Cloud.
