I love how guys like Nuno and Paul Gilbert get so legitimately excited talking about guitar and music...even after doing it for all these years.

I smiled through this whole video. Nunos energy just is so infectious.

Yeah, I think it's because we genuinely love him.

What a great interview‼️ You know Rick, what he says about « a good producer sometime just get out of the way and let it be », well you just did the very same thing being a good interviewer, just let the light on the guest, get out of the way and … let it be. Another great interview. Thank you.

Great point!

Randomly walking through Sydney city today and ran into Nuno in a hotel. Went in and asked if I could say hello. Got a photo and he wished me luck in my new career, what a guy! Met him a few times and the first in 93. Massive respect to a very humble guy!!

Nuno is always a delight and so alive for music.

Nuno Bettencourt is a national treasure and my eyes can't process what his fingers are doing. 🔥

Nuno is a national treasure indeed... a Portuguese treasure from the Azores to the world.

he's a machine. He simply don't miss a note ever.

I love Nuno's no-filter approach...Brilliant!!!!!

Wow Rick what a great interview. 🎸🎸

12:36 33 years after, i still LOVE listening Nuno playing a guitar

Saw Extreme and Living Colour 4 days ago. This guy is a monster. Mind blowing.

Exactly! While inspiration strikes!

Theres a reason that tape is brown 😂

Such a brilliant song.

It's wild how so many artists say the same thing about that creative moment of zen.. Things just flow as though from an outside source. I've experienced this myself and with band mates. It's one of the most rewarding things I've ever felt in my life.

Nuno is so genuine. I dig it! That’s the way to be. ✨

This is SO true. Whenever my band is playing we almost always like our iphone recordings of practice, as opposed to going in to a studio, headphones on, separate rooms etc.

What a ball of energy nuno is .loved it

Their performance at Freddy Mercury benefit concert was AMAZING ! Probably was the best of the whole event.

What a monster player , what a humble human, what a great guy!

Nuno playing on the toilet certainly added that extra chorus and reverb to the recording 10/10 😎

What a treat seeing such talented people being open and informative, thank you

Wow! Such brutal Honesty- Gotta love that independent Spirit!

This guy is the book of right on.

Nuno’s interviews are almost as good as his playing. He is funny but most of all totally loves the music.

This is amazing insight into the genius of recording ideas asap on the small recorders, back in the day! I can play this song still.

I know that these guitars are not traditionally constructed like the Big Two, but wow, the intonation is precision. Until he knocked a string flat! I'm in the market for a flat top or two. A 12 fret parlour guitar would be super cool. MacKenzie & Marr make a 14.

One of the most underrated guitar player ever. He’s amazing!

I saw a KZread that Leon Russel did, where he's talking about a time when he had George Harrison playing on on of his tracks and George was doing about 27 takes on the one track. In the end, according to Leon, he got over it and said to George, what do you think of this take and George said that one's great, which take was that and Leon said, that was the first take. :)

Amazing interview, words of wisdom and musicians! We love you much! Greetings from Bulgaria from one of your huge fans there! :-) Be healthy, happy and blessed!

I relate to this so much. Can’t remember the last time I did a demo, I just feel like it takes the fun out of the process and my main motivation for making music is enjoyment. I think that’s why some music doesn’t hit the same way nowadays, because it’s refined to within an inch of its life and sounds more like a product than a piece of art.

Best Interview !!!! So true about Demo's you loose the MAGIC when you do it again!

Good to hear this. I never get the same feeling when I record the second time to get it perfected

Nuno Rules. The King of Portugal.

Really enjoyed this!

Yep, a new instrument or even a pedal can help guide your muse into new directions, new stuff you don’t expect, you always gotta be excited for and open to checking out new channels for your playing 😎

A 12 string resonating off ceramic tiles would be quite something. Hole Hearted is such a great song, music, lyrics, performance. All their lyrics are clever. Leo Kottke often remarked how intractable a 12 string was. Nuno shows no signs of its intractability. He's amazing playing that beast!

Why would he remark that if he then proceeded to jump up and down on one every night? (using his hands of course)

What an amazing human being!

I had a shirt like that in the 70s.

Love passionate musicians like Nuno ❤

Nuno's passion is infectious.

Rick, please, make a video about equipment you using in new clips like this one. What type of camera, light ... everything and make it beginners can understand. Your new video production is one of the best on YT. Thanks

This was very cool. Thanks Rick and Nuno. Just a damn good interview.

This is just amazing. Love it so much

You're a good listener Rick. Your interviewees are comfortable with you and you pull the best out of them.

what a wonderful interview. Thank you!

Great f'n interview. What a gem the interview is as well as you both, for the music/guitar community. I could listen to you guys nonstop... discussing, geeking out & reminiscing

Nunos the best..... what a guy " The First thing you play, and you are creating.... Don't Stop". Wooooo Thank you Rick😍

Great interview

Wow, he is so awesome! Great interview, thanks!

This is so great. I love when people tell the truth and appreciate teamwork.

Great interview! Thanks so much. 😎🤓

Nuno Bettencourt is from the Azores Islands, a source of pride for the Azoreans. Go Nuno, never forget our islands, the most beautiful in the world!

Nuno would be fun to play with, he's got that little kid vibe that would make it even more fun.

Hey Rick - Just realised we are birthday buddies! (April 24th)Fancy nipping over to Scotland to produce our next E.P.? :) great video as always with Nuno...what he says is sooo true and sadly getting lost in the modern era. Fantastic inside info though. keep em coming!

I have listened to Hole Hearted so many times and never clicked on the Supertramp similarity until just now! Mind blown! And I am a Supertramp fan too! Wow!

Magnifico.🩷👄🌡️🌹💋💕

The new Extreme album has been on my desk for weeks. Time to listen!

Great story about the 12 string and the recording of the song. It goes to show you you don't need the best gear you need the best song you can do and the best performance you can muster. I'd love to hear how The Clash made London Calling, that record is amazing. Hint hint Rick!

Wow. So many insightful observations.

ive been playing guitar since i was 7, by 11 I was in a kid cover band, by 14 I didnt care anymore.. and stopped playing.. until I heard Pornograffiti. Then it became an obession. Then I learned Nuno is my age, and portuguese like me. Been my guitar hero ever since!! Theres no one quite like Nuno on a guitar.

What a completely inspiring dude

Amazing interview Rick, bloody funny as well....

rick he is A MAZE THING ,,, a brilliant guy ever since i tool time to listen to him ,,he plays with love,,,, an obviously with good shit 2 ,one love

What a 12 strings live sound ! Nuno is a so funny guitar god ! Greetings from France from one of your huge fans there! :-) Thanks a lot Rick for this interview !

Saw him live 2 nights ago, he is brilliant!

This guy is freekin awesome, a way different cat than I thought he was, fantastic stuff Nuno love it........

A really exceptional human, great interview!

Thank you that was great

Not a fan of the band, but I like Nuno. Saw him solo for "Mourning Widows" - dude put his heart and soul into the performance. Just a great dude and killer musician.

I love Nuno getting inspired by Supertramp (and of course Zeppelin) 3 of my all time favorite bands here ❤️

Mikey wagner is a true Genius. Because he knows what REAL Talent really Is!

i can totally relate... sometimes i can never get the mojo of a demo...

Great video

It’s cool you mention the toilet @Nuno. Ever since i was a kid i took refuge into the bathroom and brought my guitar. A habit that followed me to this day, my wife dosn’t understand it 😆

00:36 NEVER liked Nuno... until now lol! That was the most "human" thing I've heard in ages. Playing guitar while takin a shit. This may have just changed my entire world lol!!
