Right now, in 2023, June 19, 2023 to be exact, Nuno Bettencourt is saving rock and roll, along with Extreme, from a slow boiling death. He is one of the most melodic, musical guitarists to ever grace a guitar. This only reconfirms that.

I think the reason some believe NUNO is overlooked is because of his personality. He is very low key when he doesn’t have a guitar strapped on. No doubt he could easily draw attention to himself in other ways. But he is a true guitar hero. Since Extreme first came on the scene until now he has never tried to do anything other than master his instrument. He is my all time favorite. What stands out for me; is that he is NEVER overlooked by his peers. Every guitar player there is, professional or otherwise, all tip their hat to this man. I do not believe ANYONE alive or dead would want to cut heads or trade chops with him. I’ve never seen a negative word written or heard anything negative said about him. Normal people may not know who he is but to those of us who play, he is a household name. Whenever a young guitarist gets a big head and starts thinking they are the greatest ever: they should watch NUNO. They will realize just how far they have to go. Lol

Back in 1990, I was listening to the radio and they played Decadence Dance. When the song was over, the DJ said something along the lines of Keep your eye on this guy Nuno Bettencourt, he's really something to be reckoned with. Well, I've been keeping my eye on him for about 30 years now, and it's been worth every look. One of the single greatest guitar talents of all time, not just the Guitar Gods of the 80s and 90s.

Nuno's right hand is such a fine-tuned machine, sense of rhythm is on par with the greatest drummers. The syncopation is what gives him the edge over other guys that also have amazing right hands, like Morse and Petrucci. Even Al DiMeola would probably like playing this, even if it it's not as sophisticated harmonically as what he does. Great stuff.

And the recording was so bad that we barely could hear! We didn't know who this music was for?!! But we loved it!! Specially because we are guitarists! Afer a short time, the tape got lost somehow! And since then we are trying to find out to whom was this music by trying humming it and playing some parts of what we remember and descriping it to friends and musicians!! Since then, each time i remember the melody i spent hours, nights searching on it, and then get fustrated afterwards!, then i go knocking my cousin's head if he found it!... But TODAY & NOW I just recorded the beginning on my mobile and sent it my cousin!!! Never giveup!!! :))))))))))
