Nuno is one of the most underrated guitar players. He's not another "Eddie" clone, he's very much his own style

Nuno is n#1 for me. He has it all. Feeling, groove, technique, emotion, he plays guitar, drums, bass, piano, writes fabulous songs and sings better than many lead singers. He's just a beast.

Nuno is my obsession. Watching him live is a whole experience

Nuno is the guitarist i have been looking up to for so many years and he is still the best for me

Nuno was and is one of my all time favourites and I’ve listened to just about every guitar player that broke even remotely big. He’s incredibly underrated

I met Nuno at a Baby Animals gig a few years back when he was still married to the singer Suze. Met their kids afterwards too. Really great guy!

Nuno was recently on Rick Beato's channel. Amazing interview! Must see!

His solo on Rise!!!!   Holy hell!!!!!!!!

I was about 11 when I first heard his solo in “play with me “ from Bill and Teds excellent adventure . It’s one of the earliest memories I can recall being amazed by a guitar solo. I thought it was the coolest thing I’d ever heard up to that point. 🤘🏻

Nuno has always been an incredibly strong rhythmic player. He attacks the guitar like a drummer.

Yes, Nuno is definitely underrated, dude is an awesome talent.

Former drummer here, now struggling to get my head around guitar. Nuno has always been my guy, and yeah, the rhythm is insane, especially when he's muting hard. But his chops are outta control as well (like the lead on get the funk out, that still puts my jaw on the floor), and the sheer amount of detail, care and information this man loads into a rhythm part is incredible, so rewarding to listen to. Amazing composer and showman to boot, he's a force of nature. Thanks for introducing him to your people Michael, I hope it lights a few fires.

Wow I was waiting for years to somebody to react to Nuno bettencourt playing midnight express, and a found this video.
Nuno Number One!

Nuno.  He's got that thing.  Rhythm & Groove.  Endless chops.  Effortless movement within the meter.  Incredible right hand technique.  Heck, he even sings like a bird.  Love this guy.  Top 5 of all time.  Try playing Cupid's Dead.  Try.

I saw Nino a few years ago at the generation Axe, Wow he blew my mind thats why we was touring with the best out there. Yngwie Malmsteen, Sreve Vai etc..

Waiting for  th Punchline - Extreme is my fav album its sophisticated and very mature musically. it showcases the talent of all member of the band. it is a must have album in every musician's collection. To rephrase your comment - the picking hand is the picture, the left hand is the color, Nuno is an exert at both.

He started out as a drummer. Probably why he's got that feel.

Nuno and EVH are my two favorite players and their rhythmic chops are why.   Both are off the charts with their feel.  "If it don't swing then it don't mean a thing" and both can swing it as good / better than anyone.

My all time favorite. Strong possibility he could be at the Super Bowl halftime show this year. I know he has played for Rihanna for some time now. Not sure if he still does.

metal funk = born drummer who chose guitar
