Nuno has been the "your favorite guitarist's favorite guitarist" guy for decades now. Maybe the best rock musician ever that non-musicians don't know about.

@SuperDoggy99 Vor 8 Monate

Very true. I've spent years trying to get friends and family to listen to Nuno's music. But they would always say, "You mean the More Than Words guy? Nah." It's really annoying, because they don't know what they're missing; he makes a lot of musicians/guitarists look like they've been asleep at the wheel for decades. After a while, though, you just give up trying to persuade, coerce, and indoctrinate the ignorant masses. One might even say that you just learn to not give a f*ck.

So yes, Nuno rocks!

All the releases so far from Six have been astonishing. As you say; many people will only remember Extreme for 'More than Words' but their catalogue is vast. I read a review or something from Nuno saying that; after Eddie passed, someone had to continue this style of music. He stated categorically that he wasn't trying to be the 'Next Eddie Van Halen' but simply to keep that style of music relevant. Six has done that. The best guitarist no-one (non music fans) has ever heard of. Their loss...

His live playing is nothing short of incredible. He is pretty humble also.

For anyone else who didn't play the guitar themselves at a high level, Van Halen didn't matter. Soundados, mellow, nice, easy, but at least there is Take Us Alive to give me the "WTF are you thinking?!"... But the Six so far... My complaint is clear: WHY DID YOU MAKE ME LOVE IT THE FIRST LISTEN?! I HATE IT!! :D

Nuno was born and lived in my city of Praia da Vitoria in a small archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic called the Azores until he moved to the United States. He usually comes here every summer. We are all very proud of what a "out of this world" guitarist he became. And also we have the same name, how cool is that!😉 For me the best guitar player ever. Abraço Nuno🎸🎸 PS - I'm a fan of your channel @Rick Beato, and it was fantastic to see you talk about Nuno Bettencourt. Thank you!

Nuno is a genius and have always been underrated, because Extreme have never been a one of those commercial bands just like Mr.Big and Symphony X always flying under the radar. Nuno, Paul Gilbert and Michael Romeo are some of the best and most creative players on this planet. Period.

What sets Nuno apart for me is his live playing. Everyone sounds great on tape but so many of them can't replicate it live. I've seen Nuno probably a dozen times and he always plays clean, his tone is perfect and he attacks everything every time. Can't wait to see him play this in person.

@OceanofMaya Vor 8 Monate

Agreed. I've seen him live in clubs and his intensity of playing and yet almost effortless presentation - He's a unicorn on stage who's also a virtuoso...then you add the accompaniment - of which he just brings out the best in their playing as well - just amazing.

@bastianogr4960 Vor 8 Monate

And the other way around: His studio work sounds incredibly "live". Despite the ridiculous degree of complexity and sophistication, there's always that raw, powerful stage energy in Nuno's playing. Everything he has recorded sounds incredibly vivid and gritty. With such an unmatched aggressiveness and punch. I've always loved that about Nuno! He's actually the only one I can think of (besides Eddie), who really manages to capture that raw and pure stage energy in the studio. It's crazy!

I bought the album 3 sides to every story and was blown away by Nuno’s playing, not just solos but his unique arrangements going on throughout songs. I then watched some live videos which affirmed my appreciation of his unique skill as a guitarist in a world full of great guitarists. He’s not just busy when soloing but contributing throughout the entire song with fills and unusual chord variations and skilful choice of rhythm. If I was putting a “greatest” band together, Nuno would be the first guitarist I would call. I’m glad you have brought his talent to the fore as he rarely gets into anybody’s top 10 guitarist lists.

@jimmunster1446 Vor 6 Monate
