Welcome back man

It's great to hear that you know this song. I have all Nuno's records, so I will do something similar in the future

Mmm... you're great guys
This thread started talking about Nuno and now I'm gonna decide if I will be a Rihanna fan
I got some inspiration from these covers.
Still don't know if I will be a fan of her music or her look

Do it well!!!

/many typos tonight...

From Nuno's myspace:

Hey all.......Nuno.. here. I wanted to share some news with you... A friend and Music Director, Tony Bruno, reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in playing guitar with Rihanna. Rihanna is a regular in the Bettencourt-house playlist... And as much as I dig her as an artist... my first thought was that there isn't a whole lot of guitar in her music and therefore probably not the greatest fit for what I do.

But before I had a chance to verbalize that thought… Tony said, "before you say anything let me play you the direction she wants to go live." And when I heard it... I said wow, this rocks… it's heavy and funky... and it hit me that this is MY sh*t... this is my style... how I love to play... I got very excited at the possibility of playing some of her great songs with a heavier treatment. When I asked Tony Bruno why?... he told me that Rihanna loves bands like Paramore and Linkin Park and loves to push it up a notch or two live in the rock department. Hmmm... let me think? Touring and sharing the stage with a cool and talented artist like Rihanna... and being able to bring what I do passionately to the table as a musician and performer...? IM IN! And having finished the first round of rehearsals... it did not disappoint. Even better than what I expected because she also has the most incredible band, and I get the privilege to add to their wall of sound. It's gonna be fun. Come see and hear it for yourself!

Nuno

And BTW... No... this is NOT the end of Extreme. We have a live DVD and CD coming out in early 2010 and we will be writing new material throughout the year. We had a great run across the globe on Saudades do Rock....and we'll be back.


I'm not the best person to talk from an indipendent point of view about Nuno.
So... the only question is: what will I decide to see from under the stage? Nuno's playing or Rihanna??

Hi Martz and welcome to GMC

Hi Hans
Welcome to GMC.
Have fun!

Hi Mathis and welcome to GMC
Good luck with your music studies!

Amen to that

Finally
Good job Staffay!
You have played some notes in a different order (the lick at 0:37) or with a different technique (all picked notes instead of slide, at 0:16). This is not a problem. For me it's really important if you enjoy one of my lessons, putting something of yourself into the REC, especially if we are talking about Jazz music.
After this quick analysis, I can add that you can improve a little your timing while playing swing eighth notes. It's also really important to underline the difference between swing eighth notes and eighth-note triplets. As example, listen to the lick you've recorded at 0:22, comparing it with the original lesson or the Guitar Pro file, to see what I mean!
Thank you for posting this

Looking forward to see your take.

Congrats man



Yes, he is

I see what you mean, Matt.
Studying composition at University can be a good thing but also there, teachers will teach you what composers has done in the past.
Follow your way (and your ear)!

Welcome to GMC Thomas

I guess this happens everywhere around the world. Great one

Thanks for sharing this I'm checking some DVDs.

Have a nice and safe trip man

Thank you VictorUK for posting the video about Randi.

I can add a link to the famous $1M Challenge.

Awesome pics

This take is quite good but you need to work over your vibrato.
Also, it seems that your B string is a bit out of tune. Check your tuning before to record each take!

Good take indeed. Some minor timing issues as said before but nothing really important

Great tool for singers without too much memory

Great guitar indeed, enjoy playing it

Good job.
I like the rhythm part but you need to work on the solo here, especially about your timing.
