He-Man Woman Hater, how to REALLY play it!  

Thanks! Appreciate you checking out the video :)

Ok so playing it the correct way took all of about 1 min. THANK YOU!

Me, Pedro !

I learned some months ago from Tom Quayle. Sounds cool.

30 years in... dammit

@@taunokekkonen5733 it'll be a big help if you shared the link too

Awesome man! I was the same, riff was tricky as hell back in the day. So glad the video helped :)

Tim Moran this makes me very happy 😃 thanks for checking the video out man glad that it helped you crack that bloody riff! 😂 #nuno

Seriously man thank you. That has been my favorite riff for nearly 30 years and It confirms a lot of things for me. @@mastertheguitar

Glad you liked it!

Thanks!

Thanks so much man! I'm glad it was of some help :) I've got a few more Nuno moments on the channel if you've not seen them already: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RnC1CNyU-kw.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tmS2GQTpMfo.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MgBgQ8aQEcg.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5CAm42Sc72A.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gJkXig16xfQ.html

You're very welcome!

Two very different players, IMO.

@@williamallen7386 not so much In Essence. Even Nuno himself will tell you that.

Thanks for watching! Hope it was of some help :)

Forget that place.

It will be a beautiful day when that trash fire of an institution falls into Lake Erie.

Awesome, glad it helped and thanks for checking out the video :)

You nailed it bud

Rob A Cool! They are really hard to find especially in Australia! Hang on to that one!!

Thanks for watching man! Glad it was of some help :) The Victory had a rest for this video, used my Line 6 Helix LT to get the guitar sounds, trying to nail a Nuno tone.

Thank you so much for watching :) I used a Nuno patch I knocked up on my Line 6 Helix LT. Thinking of doing a quick video about that in fact :)

Thankyou for watching! Hope it helped :)

mastertheguitar it definitely helped🙋‍♂️

That’s some fast funky strumming, say strumming 32nd notes in a 16th note groove, maybe with a little ‘raking’ movement too. It requires a smaller movement, striking fewer strings keeping things very loose. HTH

@@mastertheguitar thanks man, you´re great!

@@bluesoundenginestockmusic A pleasure! Appreciate you taking the time to watch :)

@@elcapitan6605 Yeah, and I just found out who you are and where you live. Be careful to who you are talking to online....And no he does not pick every note, you idiot. Now, sends regards to your family....

It’s a 1/2 step down 1:07 also Nuno tone info ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Jh074SbKdfs.html

Scottish! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✊

:D just on loan

Always rock with 10s on a 1/2 step down guitar. I may have even put on heavy bottoms (10-52) when I had a loan of the N4.

GuitarSlinger2112 I agree the tone is a bit ice picky and harsh. But the playing is great.

Yeah pretty sure, check out the Young Guitar video of Nuno playing through some riffs/licks plus it makes sense regarding other muted legato stuff he loves to play. EDIT Just checked out the YG video again, his picking motion is so smooth it’s within reason he could be picking the two notes then pulling off, wish I could ask the man himself ;)

I think you're right. In the video you mentioned there are no upstrokes on the C and G note, like I have been doing. Thanks for the reply. Great video!

Cheers! Check out the other comments about the picking. :)

mastertheguitar I know... it’s hard to tell. There was a video of the man himself but he doesn’t really show what the right hand does. Damn it

:D and Nuno ain’t giving anything away!

mastertheguitar ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zSLvqwgXo2M.html at 3:38 he does it. I wonder if someone has the official tabs from Guitar Part?

I recall checking that vid out as well as the Young Guitar vid, helped me with the transcription of the riff. Hand movement still leans me towards one pickstroke plus PM legato

+Jason Youn it wasn’t to begin with! 😀 I remember it took a while to get it down and the ‘Official’ TAB book was interesting to say the least ;) Transcribe kids, transcribe EVERYTHING for yourself! BTW Thanks for watching man, really appreciate it.

Yeah bagged a So Cal when they were on sale at Guitar Guitar, bunged another rampant sticker on there ;)

Perhaps you could do a demo and a comparison between the two Charvels. Great lesson as usual.

Check out the 'Nuno Bettencourt Amazing Guitar Licks' video and Ex. 5. From the riff note pattern, his style and pick attack, when you slow it down, it sounds like one pick and legato to me.

mastertheguitar he plays it legato there, you're right, but if you slow down the album version just a bit (75% speed is enough) you can clearly hear those notes are picked! He might have changed the way he plays it to be easier live?

Yeah it’s a possibility for sure, I transcribed it using Capo and still feel it’s all Legato, makes the riff more awkward than required otherwise. With non clear cut things like this, hard to truly say one way or the other, you have to go with intuition. Only way to know for sure is to ask the man himself :D

You seem to play the right manner, man! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lT0XtXU2z14.html

Thumb up !

Thanks for the insight. It’s legato in the guitaristic technique sense e.g the notes are not picked

@@mastertheguitar Legato is a sound not a technique. There are many ways of getting legato for guitar however even hammers and pull offs are not legato. Marshall Harrison explains this if you search his name and legato just to clear it up. I found all this out when I started to learn it on piano. Tom Quayle has nailed it if you want to hear what it really sounds like. It is a very different sound.

OK, fair point. Just to let you know I'm fully aware of what Legato and Staccato means, as well as who Holdsworth and Marshall Harrison are, and funnily enough actually know Tom.

@@mastertheguitar That's so cool. When I first started out on guitar I was confused about so many things, it's just I like to have any possible confusions out of the way especially in video's. Your video on how Nuno plays this riff is perfect. I always thought he picked every note...lol I gave up on trying to grab some of his techniques to add to my own bag. Nuno doesn't even pick that much yet he sounds so attacking. You are showing us how and why and that is great. It's perfect timing for me because in 2018 my dad passed from Cancer in just 5 weeks. I haven't played since because it knocked everything out of me. I sold about 8 guitars my triaxis and 2:90 boogie power amp, TC electronix effects all worth about £10,000. All I kept was my OM acoustic for ideas. I learned theory during that time which has changed how I think about music. Now I want to get a new guitar and a N4 or 4N is on my mind all the time.

Rick Beato recently released a 2h interview with Nuno in which he talks about this riff. And yes, Nuno himself calls it "legato" 😅. Interesting also he explains that the percussive sound in this riff comes from his Rat pedal with very particular settings.

Always aiming to disturb. I'm not too concerned about my muting with the wads of gain here, trust me I'm fully aware of the slight open G string noise at a few points in the lesson, but I'm talking and playing at the same time and I think the important points are coming across. When it matters, in the performance, things are tight as required.

No worries, I’m actually speaking Scottish
