Музыка
Just the acoustic channel of Nuno Bettencourt performing "Midnight Express" live. A great listen for anyone interested in learning the song as you can hear every pick scrape, mutes and The percussion of both hands in greater detail. Enjoy. JP

staying this clean at this speed is priceless
After listening to this song, I actually whispered to myself "Thank you, Nuno.." The parts where its supposed to be beautiful are wonderfully composed. Truly a great piece of music. Thank you, Nuno. Seriously.

right? i had multiple orgasms ... amazing
That's crazy! That show's that if you think your technique is good on electric with all of the effects, you don't know until you try that stuff on acoustic. His technique is amazing! So clean!
I have seen him play this live many times, first memory of it was at the PPAC many moons ago..won the tickets from HJY including VIP pass to be at the practice before the show. Nuno is an amazing, talented, musician.. his skills have no boundaries, as I've also witnessed him wail on the drums.. this kids got it all.
This is incredible, Nuno is definitely my new favorite guitarist :)
I saw him play this on Extreme's 3rd album tour. It was the single most amazing "I can't believe I just saw that" guitar experience I have ever had. I have scene them all from the Eddie era. Vai, Satch,I can't name them all here. This was the biggest chills up and down the arms thrill ever. You guitarists know what I mean.

and he still has it, saw them at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London, invited my guitarist friend Tony, he was blown away by seeing him play this and other songs!
Whenever I listen to this amazing song, I cannot help recalling their live in 1992. Then he always plays the intro of "More than words". That priceless time was more than words, I must say. Thanks Nuno.
man, he's such a great Player. I love his music.

Yea, I guess he's good at it.
Totally awesome bro! One of the best ( if not the one ) guitarist on the world!!
F@#$ yeah. Man this guy can play. Respect high Mr. Nuno. One of the best, and inspirational guitarist in the world. What an honor and a treat to be blessed by this man and his talent. Bless up Brother. Bless up.
Ok with enough talent, dedication and time one can learn to play this, but how did he WRITE this. Damn

WTF... Shockingly awesome. Nuno is one of the very best guitar players to me. Not only because of his technical capacities in playing but for the fact that his brain is able to compose THIS!
Superb, brilliant playing from one of the best guitarists in the world.
yup, the touch and feel of Nuno. his percussive picking technique, his taste for melody, his groovy riffing - priceless
he needs to release an all acoustic record this is amaaaaaazing....what a great fretting hand
Beautiful, marvellous, magical ✨
Took me 14 years to find this video but I’m stoked that I did! Thanks for posting this. Much appreciated.
Classic. Best Guitar player of my lifetime.
oh my goodness this is awesome!! I love it!!
This is soooo AWESOME !!!!! I love it..Never heard anything like this on an acoustic guitar..It's the best ever..Listening to it for a second time..Thank you for this most awesome post..
Lots of power and energy in this performance. Sensational!
So freakin good. Come to the Philippines Nuno!!

Yeah!! Come to PH I've been dreaming for so long!! To see him at least once playing in person!! He's one of favorite guitar players just second to Steve Vai.
This is one of the songs that inspired me to play guitar as a kid. Nuno's passion just amazed me growing up and really threw fuel on the love of music fire that was growing inside me. I would not feel the same way I feel about music today if it weren't for musicians like Nuno.
I think I have probably heard this song over a 1000 times, and I still am amazed at how good this song is.
wow!!!!!....damn, I think I just fell in love with a dude...you are my hero Nuno, simply amazing!!!!
This is just obscene. What a magnificent guitarist.
Man this is a master piece of Nuno. There are nobody could move fingers like he does, very natural. The energy is just 100% there. I bought an acoustic because of this song and 3 years later still learning this song.
Nuno - if I can only shadow you for one year. You are untouchable. You are master of your craft. Thanks for the inspiration to help me strive towards perfecting my own guitar skills.
Thanks for posting this! Just amazing
the amount of skill he has is incredible
Mindblowing, as always. Nuno is just incredible.
this is one of miracle from nuno bettencourt.
nice post. Long time nuno fan. How can you not be a Nuno fan? You can't deny he's great.
Absolutely ToP. Energy and control at super High level, great Nuno
I just heard this for the first time and it's one of my favorites of all time!!!! Going to buy it - you have to support this kind of effort!!!!!
Nuno certainly has chops as well. Most people don't even know who he is. Extreme's #1 hit More Than Words clouds his other work. Most people don't even know that this is the guy that had that smash hit. I know he's pushed my to my limits on guitar. Back in the day in guitar mags he was featured on covers and known as "Numero Uno." Tommy and Nuno both have sick chops but different styles. Keep rocking!
Ummm...whoa, wasn't expecting that! Friggin, amazing
Great Nuno! yeah I agree a statue for this guy and a star as well! the best
16 years later, this is still totally amazing!
He plays lead, bass, keys, percussion..all of em. A truly gifted musician
the best guitarist on the world,my idol
This man is flawless. God should make more like him.
absolutely brilliant!! NUNO!!!
Nice to see a living legend on the guitar these days.
Pasaje, talent, and the effect is great. I admire. Thank you Mark. Alicja
This video should so get featured! This vid has to be one of the best youtube has to offer!
ohmygod.. this has always been a favorite of mine! my first time to see a video of it in acoustic!
Thanks for the send Mark, he is just as you said. AWESOME!!!!
Frickin amazing!! Looove him!! 💜💜💜
lol and still people are saying that slash is one of the best guitarists ever bla bla bla, yet they never mention this guy, who perhaps is one of the most gifted guitarists ever.
OUTSTANDING ... {stands ... holds up lighter ... screams for encore!!} Really special... holy wowzer. Thanks, Sharkie, for sharing this.
This man is a colossal talent. Where is he now and why isn't he one of the best known guitarists around
What a damn beast, i wouldnt be able to play this if i had 3 life times to practice. Not to mention that it is a really beutiful composition.
amazing artist, i will support nuno and extreme always.
Wow, very cool isolating him from the rest. He unbelievable
Nuno is Da Man! Been a fan since the first extreme album. Gota see the reunion! This vid owns!
Great find Mark thanks for sending.
Omigawd, thank you so much for posting!!! He is truly amazing, I am a silly sap....I'm all choked up! Nuno blows my mind!!!!
Great video. It really brings out the percussive quality to Nuno's playing. I love the aggressive picking--that Washburn took a fucking beating!
Nuno is indeed god. He is a master of all. He is the ultimate mix between the beatles, van halen, vai and malmsteen.
People are like "Yes. that's good/nice". Musicians are like "WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" That is way more difficult to perform, technically, than ANY of your favorite rock solos that you might think you can come up with. Eruption? Please. That Yngwie solo you've been working for 2 years? Please. Some Randy? Some Page? Some Hammet lol?

"Nuno is indeed god. He is a master of all. He is the ultimate mix between the beatles, van halen, vai and malmsteen." - and plus a great drummer like Bonham also!
I'd like to applaud the guitar, for taking such a beating.
Excellent! Gaby.
great sounding guitar...great guitar player
Nuno is the number ONE,💖💖💖👄👄👄
Reet,I've been listening tae music since 1958,Bill Haley & the Comets was probably my first introduction in the music industry. Saw Clapton at The Albert Hall farewell gig in '68 (Rory G played with Taste that night as did Yes). I never quite managed tae see the master himself but did meet his dad Al in Seattle,however,if you can't see class when it stares you right between the eyes then you never will,nuff said.
Ooooo crazzy and so soooo goood ... :)
19 people thought that the thumbs down was for download... Bettencourt is awesome
He's actually playing in drop C, that is CGCFBbD
Nuno is the best! .............
amazing! thanks for sharing Mark
The best Portuguese guitarrist!!!!!!!!!!
it does not get better than this
I searched for "xtrem express" but youtube took this video as a result. But I don't mind, I'm a huge fan of Nuno Bettencourt, so that's alright !!
