[@nahuelrv]

Man this was just awesome! Tremendo!

[@MyghtMorphin]

Nuno Bettencourt, the most underrated guitarrist ever

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

underrated means people dont know you or do not approve or follow what you do, HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT APPLY TO NUNO BETTENCOURT YOU MORONIC DIPSHIT?

[@vn_1]

Underrated actually means he is very good and still most people dont listen to him

[@geraldbumblepop7582]

trillrif axegrindor I agree that he’s underrated, I barely hear him mentioned in conversations with people when talking about guitarists. I’m usually the one to mention nuno, it’s surprising how few people really know about him. When I was in college I was surrounded by people that loved this kind of guitarist but hadn’t heard of nuno bettencourt

[@mottahead6464]

He is pretty much underrated. When we mention guitar players, Nuno should be up there along Van Halen, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Brian May. I think that Nuno and Extreme were out of luck for the fact that their best album (3 sides to a story) came to be at the very end of the hard rock/hair metal thing (you know the one that Nirvana and the grunge thing knocked out cold).

[@arisismar7517]

@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 agree with you... You are correct!! I see who comments here don't know who Nuno Bettencourt is.

[@PrisonMike-_-]

Nuno was my dad's favorite guitarist and I bought the guitar you are playing for him for his birthday the year before he died. This video is like a blast of nostalgia

[@T--xk3hf]

The EVH guitar?

[@philippelereveur]

Vin Diesel knows how to play !

[@mylovesongs2429]

Vin Diesel? I thot it was Bruce Willis!!! 🤔

[@TennesseeBread]

WOW!!!!!!!!! Nuno has said that Van Halen was a huge inspiration to him throughout his life and the parallels between Nuno's solos and Van Halens solos really show themselves here. I think there is a classical influence in both of their playing. Their not just pentatonic shredders, they put thought and feel into their solos.

[@willbarbero]

+Ryan Rupf then it's cool to play Extreme on a EVH guitar ;)

[@Nopeandnope3861]

Ryan Rupf well said. I don’t know enough about Nuno....but it seems there could be a Michael Schenker influence too....

[@armandois1988]

I dont know why people dislike this video.. He is amazing.. Even Nuno him self will like it

[@peterlogan5029]

Never was big fan of Extreme but boy can Nuno play well........ erm that goes for you too

[@xsited1]

Extreme would have been great if only they'd had a singer other than Gary Cherone. Gary was just awful.

[@Yngsatchvai]

xsited1 um!? No! Classically.trained. that man.can.sing. earwax.much?

[@bluesraincancun9217]

Yngsatchvai I agree. Gary can sing. Their music was just not pop enough except for those two acoustic songs which I still like very much. I always though nunos funk groves were such a breath of fresh air from all the other shredders.

[@russellwilson9740]

Garry can sing. I just don't like it. The songs were not as good as the solos either.

[@adamr8321]

@@xsited1 your wealth of ignorance is astounding...

[@jomesias]

1:30 play with me! Awesome playing! Thanks, now I know the song played in Bill and Teds Excellent adventure 🤘🤘🤘🤘👍

[@kennethhodsdon5876]

this one of my fav videos on youtube.....I love extreme and watching how to play these songs is cool

[@modernsingingmethod]

One of the few videos that do Nuno's genius playing justice, great job brother. Ridiculously well done :)

[@DiegoPujolT]

Wow. Amazing. Nuno is one of the most unique players in history. My favorite was your take on "Rest In Peace"... It seems like an easier solo than the rest, but the expressiveness and phrasing with which Nuno and you play it, make it the best.

[@willbarbero]

thanks for the very nice comment

[@yippy327]

I can't believe I hadn't found this until now! Dude, you slayed it. Nuno rules!

[@vonmilash823]

Outstanding player. Simply awesome.

This is the best copy of Nuno's playing that I've never seen before~!!!

[@juliantoriadi3155]

Nuno bettencourt is a great guitarist..his rhythm and solos are amazing!!! love ya ...

[@lionoftwo]

Man, much respect. I learned alot from Nuno's guitar playing in my teens. In fact, he and Vai were the only ones I really paid attention to ha. Good job Will. I'm just starting to pick up playing again so, wish me luck! You da man!

[@willbarbero]

[@joejitsumusic]

one of my fav guitar players and bands. awesome job. I subscribed :)

[@geetarz1]

Fantastic playing! Great to listen to, educational to watch - excellent! :)

[@cleavey100]

Fantastic stuff, great tone and great playing.

[@shmert]

I remember trying to learn the solo for "Get The Funk Out". Started having suspicions that it was sped up for the album. You've finally put those to rest. Very enjoyable to watch, thanks!

[@willbarbero]

+Sam Barnum Nuno is the master of that sort of pattern. He can probably do it while having a coffee and talking to a friend. I had to do a substantial amount of takes before getting it right

[@shmert]

+Will Barbero Indeed! I wonder whether the tablature I had for the solo was also wrong, the tapping part started on the 3rd fret of the G string, and there was a whole lot of jumping around. Looks like you're playing it all up higher, and it might be (slightly) less insane. Tempted to give it another go.

[@willbarbero]

+Sam Barnum I play it more or less like this and it kinda works for me! sapphire-love.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/get-funk-out-nuno-bettencourt-extreme.html

[@TVResults]

Great sound & playing! 🎸Super accurate & clean

[@ravi3shekh1]

this guy is one sick guitar player,,,perfect executions.

[@luisrodz7511]

As a big Nuno fan I just can't understand why someone could dislike this? Great job man!!

[@willbarbero]

Thanks. Even Nuno himself liked this!!

[@irchristo]

Underrated? . . . hmmm. Nah, I think I am going with Will Barbero as the most underrated guitar player ever! What an awesome medley of riffs you've put together. AND there are a lot Lot LOT of really good medleys like this put together on KZbin. Congratulations!

[@danielmault596]

Dang, just awesome playing!

[@Iceman-xx1kh]

[@jpslaym0936]

Nice man! Wounded bumblebee intro is in a lot of videos but yours is very first time I've heard "He Man Woman hater" solo coming out of a guitar that wasnt being played by Nuno, and you nailed it!

[@terrykgraves]

Great job 👍

[@bjornleifeld4442]

Wow? You're awesome. Isn't it beautiful when you have Just Made it through the Song? I know how hard it can be. Splitting every Song or solo into small chunks of notes. You are now under my favorite Players. I will Look Out for more of your content. Respect, very Well done. And the Soundquality is super duper!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
