Jerry Arcidiacono21st October 2007Thank you guys!! I'm really glad you like this.
jeff: I use Zoom my G2.1u. To be honest, I found this patch on http://zoom.haax.se/
I made a little different setting. By the way, this help me to record the lesson more quickly, without using SM57 mic, head, cabinet... a lot of saved time!!!!
Eat-Sleep-andJam:
Gabriel: I've seen some videos of SP. I think to purchase the CD via Ebay in the next weeks.
Nuno actually is leaved the band, as you know.
The secret (no more secret ) plan is an Extreme reunion for a new album!! shhhh....
Iluha: Yes, you are right! I love Get the funk out. It's my favourite rock solo and I put here a "tribute lick".
Well, the tab in the original book is TOTALLY wrong for the tapping section!
Check this out:

Yeah, I'm a "real" fan of Nuno. I have all its CDs, from Extreme, his solo work Schizophonic, MW, Pop1, DramaGods... Well I haven't the Satellite Party album but I didn't liked their music from what I've seen on the web. Even Nuno didn't like the band, in the long time
I was lucky to meet the man in 2005 in Germany. He was playing with Near Death Experience/Population 1, the same band that became DramaGods after awhile. Very nice guy. - JaxN428th September 2011
Wow!! You met him?!?! So Jealous man...he seems so humble and down to earth. MW is great music my friend. He signed The Washburn N5 i have...I almost don't want to play it but its a magical guitar....I can't help not too :-) Im in envy of you haha

Mmm.. I'd like to have the N5 to get a real single-coil tone, even I can split the humbuckers on my N2. - caustin18th March 2012
I love it. Nuno has a great style and you really captured that in a big way. Keep the Nuno coming.

Hello GMC - with this lesson I will try to introduce to the Nuno Bettencourt's guitar playing.
Nuno came up with Extreme around in the early 90's. His playing was influenced by guitarists like Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, Al Di Meola and others.
I always loved his writing skills. When I started to listen to Extreme records, I have been amazed by
the guitar parts. There are a lot of groovy riffs, awesome solos, acoustic parts and so on.
I would to dedicate this lesson to my friend Oliver. He made me listen to Extreme for the first time, when I was a young boy.
Ooops! I forgot to paint my nails black...
I hope this not affect the lesson's outcome!
Time signature: 4/4
Tempo: 118 bpm
Enjoy!
