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
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).
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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 RU-vid. Congratulations!
I don't think I saved it.. it was something like dual amp: Mesa Recto red channel and german hi gain model. Full drive and a bit of treble and mid boost. I added extra high end EQ in post production with Logic
Can you please do a part 2 with more Nono solos?! These are killer and would love to hear more. Shadow Boxing, There is No God, Our Father, Mutha, Run, When I'm President, etc...
AWESOME, dude! :) . I'm a huge Nuno fan and can play some of that myself. It's really, really interesting to see how you tackle some of those licks. It would also be cool to see how you play the solo in Lil' Jack ... The really fast part there interests me. Have a great day. Btw. I have some Vai and Nuno stuff on my own channel if you're interested. I'll be checking more of your videos soon.
Waow... trully impressive. Wish I could play like you someday. Your speed and you accuracy are just unreal sometimes. How long have you been playing ? And the real question is how much do you play each week to get such a level ???
...And to the 65 obviously deaf "He Man Guitarist Haters" who thumbed this down - You would be disliking this for what valid reason exactly?... Oh Yeah, I forgot... there's not one! I'd bet just about anything that I have NONE of the 65 of you can play anywhere NEAR this if you even have any talent to play an instrument at all!!!!! Let's see 2.9K likes compared to your paltry 65 dislikes. Hmmmm? There's plenty to dislike on youtube, but believe me when I say that this ain't it! You are now dismissed to go listen to your canned hip hop or pop music featuring whatever flavor of the week artist out of nowhere that they are trying to sell you on this week. please go away now & let the real musicians play.
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!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
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!
