Nuno Bettencourt is back with Extreme, and a new release. The guitar solo starts around 2:30 or so
I've said before that shredding wasn't really my cup of tea, although I can certainly appreciate it on a technical level (or, perhaps, a technique level).
But this is pretty doggone amazing.

Now take a look at Rick Beato and his take on that solo:

Funny, I was playing Extreme all day yesterday. Nuno is one of those guitarists that never ceases to amaze me. He's as quick as any of them, but he's rhythmic. He certainly fits firmly into the list of underappreciated guitarists.
He has been with Extreme since the late 80's, but he has a solo album, and has played with Mourning Widows, Population 1, DramaGods, Satellite Party. He's guested with people like Dweezil Zappa, Steve Hackett, John Paul Jones, Steve Vai...you get the idea. He played bass on a few track of the Baby Animals 1993 album Shaved and Dangerous. (You Aussie's should remember that one) I met his ex-wife, Suze DeMarchi when the album came out...but I digress...
I can't think of a favorite...too many...so here's this from the "Generation Axe" Tour from a few years ago...
Then this with Extreme
okay..one more..
Muito Obrigado, Portugal

Nuno is still amazing. I would recommend checking out Population1. It's a departure, to an extent, of what you expect from Extreme. For the most part it's songs, not just shredding. Population1 evolved into Drama Gods and got heavier, but this is a different insight into his talent and songwriting. The entire album is over here. It's certainly worth a listen. It also has the best birthday song... HTC1 |

Maybe my favourite guitarist. Certainly the guitarist who most often moves me to laugh out loud in both astonishment and glee. He rips up the fretboard and always keeps it sounding groovy.
EDIT:
Solo from 2:25, if the timestamp link doesn't jump there automatically. Sure, the arpeggios need sitting down for. But he doesn't even look at the fretboard.
(Maybe he just needs to sit down because his playing stuns even himself, and it's one of those "I gotta sit down for this" moments 🤷)

Amazing it sounds like arpeggios but the picking seems more involved at first hearing! Who knows what did crazy Nuno do again! Overall the song is very Van Halen-y !

OK, so it's not Sunday yet. But who can resist some classic Eagles performed on a Guzheng
