An exclusive tour around Nuno's guitar rig as used during Rihanna's world tour. Taken from Guitarist magazine issue 331. For more guitar news, advice and interviews, and to find out more about the magazine, visit www.guitarist.c...
I think I've commented on this video before, but what they hey!:) Kids, take notice, this should be what your rig looks like, and Oh! By the way, that's how you "relic" a guitar, by playing the F$^%&$*ck out of it! Nuno is legit man, gimme a guitar and an amp I'll make music...
It's always the way. The best musicians are always the quietest and the nicest. Nuno is a brilliant musician. I wonder how Rihana persuaded him to tour? He doesn't need the exposure or the money I guess
hahah interview guy:"oh my god those flying v's are amazing!" nuno:"oh, aren't mine those are rhiannas" interview guy:"you're a legend why does she have cooler guitars than you?" nuno: " cause she plays guitar on this one song" (awkward silence) o.o
thank you for response just found an answer from the web.. "What are the big speakers at a concert called?" "They are called "PA" speakers. PA meaning "Public Address" is a large loudspeaker design to deliver sound to a large group of audience. You'll often see these large speakers at clubs, concerts, and cinemas. There are two types of PA speakers. "Passive" and "Active" speakers......."
... P0rnograffiti was recorded w/ an ADA MP-1 preamp but it wasn't Nuno's... it belongs to Michael Wagner. The guitar used on the album wasn't an N4 either... it was a STEINBERGER GM-2T... literally the exact same setup that Vito Bratta used to record Pride w/ as both the guitar & the MP-1 belong to Michael Wagner... :)
Skid Row, who also worked with Wagner, used very similar equipment early on haha... And it's seems Mr. Wagner was the only who could make the MP-1s sound good
Sometimes simple is always better than disrupting your pure tone with electronic nonsense, Very great technical guitar playing, great mentality towards music, and good tone, thats why hes one of my favorites out of 3.
I absolutely LOVE Nuno's setup. Just as stripped down guitar/effects pedals/amps!!! So awesome to see someone be able to get AWESOME guitar sounds without all that refrigerator sized rack crap. If that's your rig and it works for you..then cool for you. I am a basic Nuno style gear person.
How refreshing it is to see no MIDI controlled business, no complicated crap on stage. Just a pedal board into an amp's effect loop. Good stuff Nuno...
+adamp2 I have one but got a bit tired of the sound. I still love them If you engage the chorus but set it completely flat with no oscillation just so it runs through the circuitry and that gives a wonderful liquid-fluid sound that's like wet but not chorusing at all. Please tell me of the mod you did as I have heard various things about this previously.
While your talking to him, explain to him what a key is in music and some real scales that go with that key, from his playing he obviously knows nothing about music theory. !!!
"Your other band, Extreme" Let's get this straight, Rihanna is Nuno's other band, not the other way around. Extreme I and II are both funk metal journeys!
well..... thanks, but i was talking about the board underneath the GT-8 and those pedals. If anyone who REALLY knows what i am talking about, please kindly let me know.
Hi! Does anyone know how he changes the channels and solo boost on his amp? Because I see no footswitch for that. Does the GT8 have that function? Thanks
99Jacksoniana The interviewer asks Nuno how he got involved on Rihanna's tour; Nuno anwers he was stalking her for months because he wanted to date her, but she wasn't attracted to him, so she proposed that he would play the guitar for her shows. But that's all a joke.
+99Jacksoniana He actually said "I camped out on her front lawn for about 6 months, hoping she would talk to me so I could ask her on a date, but she said 'I'm not really attracted to you, but would you like to play guitar'". Just a funny joke
