Favourite Nuno moment?

@TheCjbowman 2 года назад

When Brian May said the solo from Get The Funk Out is the best guitar solo in history! 🤘😎

@hyperbolekid 2 года назад

Loved it Leon! How the hell does Nuno not age? My favorite Nuno moments were watching him live and during insane solos he would yawn and cover his mouth with his right hand while his left hand finishes an insane legato run!

@ch3nz3n 2 года назад

No doubt, the "GTFO" solo. But not the whole thing. lol The first third is bad ass. The tapped arps are super dope. But that last third is porn for guitarists. That little chromatic pattern with the drone gets me every time. Additionally, Nuno's pick attack is a technique unto itself.

@Lexxo777 2 года назад

'Do you Wanna Play' is a pretty insane Nuno moment 🤘

@azzazelo 2 года назад

Fav moment is how he insisted in playing a fender combo with a microphonic tube on waiting on the punchline cause the added character

@nicholastotoro7721 2 года назад

My favorite Nuno moment isn’t even about his playing. It was when Anthony Keidis accused them of being a RHCP copy-cat band. Nuno’s response was something like “Aren’t those the guys who got big off a Stevie Wonder cover?”

@LeonTodd 2 года назад

LOL

@wrath0x 2 года назад

AHAHAHAHA

@adam872 2 года назад

Anthony would be flat out having half Nuno's talent. The RHCP have become an incredibly uninteresting band.

@ramsteinj 2 года назад

Man, Nuno was the reason that I started playing guitar. Thanks for the fantastic demo as always. Cheers!

@ch3nz3n 2 года назад

7:40 - The ol' "Get The Funk Out" solo. Even Brian May agrees that it's amazing. lol Still breaks my heart that Extreme got lumped into the "hair metal" craze. They were/are a damn good rock band.

@jerroldhewson3600 9 дней назад

I loved all the little sexy cuts of Nuno interjected at points of emphasis of his solos

@TheCjbowman 2 года назад

Nuno is just fantastic! His rhythm playing is as unique and killer as his solos. Unmistakable sound, his phrasing and licks are so recognizable. "Nunoism" is perfect - there are a lot of'em!

@LeonTodd 2 года назад

Nunoism needs to enter the vernacular

@gabriel_guitar 2 года назад

Waiting for the Punchline line still is my fav Extreme album, cheers for mentioning Cynical. Also, Mike Mangini has such awesome Bonham style groove on that album. Love it

@WallyBoots 2 года назад

Great album!! Highly underrated.

@bobjoe7508 2 года назад

Nuno is easily in my top 5 guitar players, and I can't tell you how many times I've listened to their first two albums. And Leon, you did a fantastic job at that solo!

@Iamjeffrobertson 2 года назад

Man! YOU FREAKING NAILED THESE! For me, any of the first 5-6 songs on 3 Sides are my child hood. I grew up on that album. Warheads. Cupid, color me blind. Man! So good!

@prsdave22 2 года назад

Nuno is an absolute force of nature. He plays flawlessly live too

@Smittefar1 2 года назад

YEEESSSSS - I love those riffs, and you serve them so well. So funky, so chunky - it is just awesome. I loved every bit of it.

@chrismitlyng1411 2 года назад

KILLED IT LEON! My favorite solo of al time! Thanks so much for covering Extreme. Such an underrated band and for some reason relatively unknown ( for some reason).

@hoosierdaddy2308 2 года назад

Nuno is just amazing. He has the best rythm sensibilities. Just great stuff. You killed it man. Nailed it. 🤘♥️🤘♥️🤘

@abrackas1 2 года назад

Nuno recorded the riff for Janet Jackson’s Black Cat which is relatively simple but amazing. His micro bends and articulation are everything.

@immanuelkuhrt8508 2 года назад

That's a great tribute to a great player and band. Oh, and the smile it puts on your face to share your Extreme story and play the music is so genuine and joy to watch.

@LeonTodd 2 года назад

My Sunday is going to be filled with Extreme!

@Chord_The_Seeker 2 года назад

Awesome video! I would love to see a video where you break some Nuno riffs down and teach them. My favorite Nuno riffs are from “Suzi” and “Rest In Peace”. You would be an absolute legend for teaching them to us, and by us I mean me.

@Skypor 2 года назад

Nuno also came up with glorious acoustic material!

@LeonTodd 2 года назад

Very much so!

@bh727 2 года назад

Acoustic Nuno is my favorite 𝙽𝚞𝚗𝚘!

@wasoota 2 года назад

Nuno is so underrated and I'm still bummed he kind of threw in the funk-metal towel after Waiting for the Punchline. The one I keep going back to is Decadent Dance. The rhythm playing, the swing and subtle variations in that one still blow me away. But even 'More than Words', if you look at the voicings, the timing, the flow of the guitar accompaniment on that whole song. It's a masterpiece.

@andrewtate8303 Год назад

One of the best guitarists with his own sound.

@Tordenstein 2 года назад

Finally another 5 killer riffs 🤘🏻 props for playing the get the funk out solo, that one is just, extreme... Looking forward to a video with some TnT riffs.

@AtitGMd Год назад

I love the riff on “tragic comic”, had a lot of air time when MTV was still a thing.ü

@lmn0potts 2 года назад

I'm a simple man. I see a guitar channel praising Nuno, I like. Also just got my N4 back from the luthier, had stainless steel frets put on!

@LeonTodd 2 года назад

N4 with stainless sounds like my ideal 80's shred machine

@profoundsinger 2 года назад

Nuno’s solo on Rest In Peace is in my top 5 best guitar solos of all time! If Van Halen and Queen had a baby, it’d be Extreme!

@jennyfuller-peard8920 2 года назад

Wow, I absolutely love Nuno AND his playing 😏. I've heard a lot of people play his riffs but it's the first time I've seen anyone nail the rhythm. Fantastic! You made it look effortless and so much fun. Cheers!

@LeonTodd 2 года назад

Thankyou! I really appreciate that

@stuartstuart1058 2 года назад

That tapping run in GTFO is ludicrous. Three Sides is their magnum opus. It deserved so much more.

@jazz_grooves 2 года назад

Such a great opportunity to crack out the ADA MP-1 for the Pornograffiti tones and the Soldano for the 3 sides tones ;)

@yanossnicklefritz7064 2 года назад

Nuno really is an amazing player. He is very technically proficient while "Extremely" expressive. You did a nice job playing his stuff Leon. I would struggle with the lower tapping runs pretty bad. I've never been much of a tapper.

@seventhsealhere 2 года назад

One of my favorites, It ('s a Monster)! Love the riff! Nuno is amazing. 🎸

@ChanokchaiChauychoo Год назад

My fav band of all time. your shed is sound authentic too. like it!

@HananGrinberg 2 года назад

Man, you nailed those riffs! My favorites are from "It's a monster", "rest in piece", "suzie" and also the acoustic stuff from "whole hearted" and "midnight express"! Was waiting a long time for this episode. I'm not gay but if Nuno came calling, I'd be amenable..

@reereelization 2 года назад

Nuno’s chops are so tasteful. Might be the real GOAT of the era. Cheers!!! 😊❤️👍🙏

@spetersonmusic 2 года назад

Awesome! Saw them in huge arenas but then caught them in a small club (the Ritz in Detroit) on the Waiting for the Punchline tour and was 2 feet from him the whole show just standing there shell shocked at his command and playing. So in the pocket but solid. Freaking LOUD too. LOL.

@theariesexperiment4642 2 года назад

Nuno was and still is extremely underrated. His name doesn't come up in enough circles when naming top players of this century. Him a Vito Brata are 2 guys I feel like were just completely overlooked as world beaters. Nuno's sense of time and space on guitar is so good. I've yet to hear anyone since that has that PHAT tone and super catchy rhythms both.

@Nikkohh 2 года назад

Epic playing mate! The half time breakdown riff in decadence dance is what made me want to learn guitar 20ish years ago

@LeonTodd 2 года назад

I can hear it in my head right now!

Get the funk out ,love it 🤘🏻🎸😎 I’m going to have to revisit that one 😎

@j.boogie1646 2 года назад

All those songs you picked are awesome , I remember when i 1st heard get the funk out , It blew me and my friends away , One forgotten song i would throw in is Play with me , The solo and licks in that song are very cool.

@MrBombhouserec 2 года назад

Got to see them live a few times they were incredible.

@jessenicholson1777 2 года назад

I love the very Eddie-influenced riff at the beginning of Mutha (part after the intro solo)

@ROKZLEON 2 года назад

I don't know what it is, but while I was watching the video, Nuno's face kept popping into my mind!

@AngusClarkGTR 2 года назад

Nailing it!!

@drockny 2 года назад

Great video. Would love to see you do more of these with Ratt/Dokken/Winger.

@wrath0x 2 года назад

i was thinking exactly that

@LeonTodd 2 года назад

Ratt and Dokken are coming soon. I did Winger a little while back which was awesome

@T0n3zon3 2 года назад

I remember getting the first self titled Extreme LP when it was released back in 1989 and putting it on and being blown away by the opening "Little Girls" riff and then, 5 tracks in the face melting intro to "Mutha" comes on followed by the main song riff which is IMHO one of the greatest of all time (despite being a pretty shameless VH homage). Nuno sadly arrived 5 years too late on the scene and as a result is very underrated outside the "guitar scene".

@HellToro99 2 года назад

I was going to mention the same thing, the first album was hard hitting! Kid Ego, Play with me, Teacher's pet...

@joshmaitra 2 года назад

I clicked as soon as I saw this!!! Nuno is my favourite guitar player of all time!!

@irmasil3 2 года назад

Nuno is definitely a quadruple threat. They man can easily turn you gay, while he could also be a lead singer any day of the week, his guitar skills are beyond belief and his style is as unique as it gets (you can tell its him by the first 5 notes)....On my top 5 guitarists of all time by a mile.

@SnappyJCM800 2 года назад

I really like Michael Nielsons video on Nunos Ada tone and at the end of it he does a heavy version of Whole Hearted that sounds fantastic.

@rick.carr.guitar 2 года назад

Nuno is my favourite guitarist and my biggest influence of mine too, plus Pornograffitti is my all time favourite album. It's hard to only think top 5 as he has so many killers riffs but I'll give it my shot to do a top 5 and here it is... 1. Warheads (main riff) 2. It's A Monster (main riff) 3. Get The Funk Out (verse riff) 4. Pornograffitti (intro riff) 5. He Man Woman Hater (main riff)

@go00742 2 года назад

I love every album of extreme i grow with his music... It's time for nuno and band for a new album, last album rock de saudade is 2008 year!

@carl-johanfougstedt199 Год назад

@Donan777 2 года назад

My favourite Nuno thing is his album "Schizophonic". Almost zero guitar heroics, but stunning songs and amazing singing. That album made it perfectly clear, that Nuno is much more than "just" a brilliant guitar-player.

I wouldn't say I'm an Extreme fan, but I'm definitely a Nuno fan.

@MF-Alien 5 месяцев назад

Love that He man Woman hater riff! Something Nuno does differently than how you’re playing it is on that pinch harmonic on the 4th fret, Nuno only bends it up and lets go/mutes it instead of adding vibrato. Try it out and I think you’ll agree it sounds more like the original that way. Cheers!

@thehumblepundit9790 2 года назад

Nuno reminds me a lot of Jackie Chan. Let me explain. Jackie was around just when Bruce Lee hit stardom. Bruce overshadowed the immense talent of Jackie until many years after they both hit the movie screen. I find the same with Nuno and EVH. EVH was such an innovator and changed the guitar world. No question. I strongly believe that Nuno did as well, but he never really got the same level of accolades. I prefer Nuno to EVH in every way. Sorry folks, but Nuno is just as much of a genius as EVH was. RIP Eddie.

@LozBlain 2 года назад

There is no depth of Nuno worship I won't stoop to. I reckon the riff on the title track of Punchline is about as heavy, disorienting and scary as anything I've heard. Works so well with Gary's world-falling-apart, clown-loses-his-mind vocal.

Everyday I was just playing the Guirar with Pornograffiti as backing track trying to emulate Nuno's Riffs and Solo

@byronh77 2 года назад

Preciate the nuno love. One of the best and most unique musicians to pick up a guitar, wasn’t fond of the tone you went with to reinterpret his riffs though. Sounds to heavily effected and a bit muddy to my ears. I’m shocked you don’t have an N4 to nail his tone. Great video though.
