After listening to this song, I actually whispered to myself "Thank you, Nuno.." The parts where its supposed to be beautiful are wonderfully composed. Truly a great piece of music. Thank you, Nuno. Seriously.

I have seen him play this live many times, first memory of it was at the PPAC many moons ago..won the tickets from HJY including VIP pass to be at the practice before the show. Nuno is an amazing, talented, musician.. his skills have no boundaries, as I've also witnessed him wail on the drums.. this kids got it all.

I saw him play this on Extreme's 3rd album tour. It was the single most amazing "I can't believe I just saw that" guitar experience I have ever had. I have scene them all from the Eddie era. Vai, Satch,I can't name them all here. This was the biggest chills up and down the arms thrill ever. You guitarists know what I mean.

Nuno certainly has chops as well. Most people don't even know who he is. Extreme's #1 hit More Than Words clouds his other work. Most people don't even know that this is the guy that had that smash hit. I know he's pushed my to my limits on guitar. Back in the day in guitar mags he was featured on covers and known as "Numero Uno." Tommy and Nuno both have sick chops but different styles. Keep rocking!

I've read a lot of Nuno articles. He's actually said that if you want to be good, play your riff on acoustic before electric. Then, when you pick up the electric, the strings are like butter. I actually was kinda like you. I used to play the bluesy stuff and stick around the pentatonic scales in my earlier years. Why? Because it sounds great. I still love blues musicians like Stevie, etc. It was about 10 years ago that I really upped my game. Nuno's more electric, but he can certainly wail on ac
