    Nuno Bettencourt

    Say what you will about shredders and technical based players, but Nuno (Extreme) is freakin monster.



    How clean and effortless is that picking? Stupid impressive.

    Awesome player and one day I will own a 90s N4 in the misguided belief that I will be able to play like that

    I went to see Extreme in the UK in the 90's and the frightening thing is he plays like that whilst running up stairs and still looking at the crowd.

    In my opinion he smokes most of the other big name shredders (Van Halen, Vai etc) with his consistency and musicality. Plus he married Suzi DeMarchi of the Baby Animals, so, you know, he has good taste.

    The fact that he is playing that fast with the "Albert Lee" delay going is what really blows your mind. Any mistake you make will happen at least three times.
