Thank god! It's so refreshing to hear someone who speaks CALMLY, as opposed to so many online instructors who talk AT you. Your introductions to each lesson are clear, the information concise, and your enthusiasm and respect for each player you mention are obvious. I had virtually given up the online lesson thing, until I discovered yours! Thank you so so much man!
Thank you so much and it took me a little while to realize that initially, I was reading/using musical notation specific for fretted musicians, but it didn't apply to anyone else. The first time I compared notes with a pianist, I felt really stupid and had no idea what I was actually playing. "What note is that you're playing?" "I dunno...the seventh fret?" : ( Not long after that, I made it a quest to understand as much as I could about music theory, reading music, the fretboard, and general terminology - which I'm STILL working and learning about music daily. Rock on \m/
I'm basically a hack and have been playing for years mimicking other great players throughout the years either in cover and original song bands. However, ever since coming onto your channel, I've been learning more about the same guitarists playing on a whole new level. It's almost like veils are lifting.
I really like how you show the lead stuff AND how it configures along with the chord changes.Keep that up, it's really helping me sort theory out along with my playing.I'm starting to get out of the slump I've been in for a long time...Thanks!!!
Great lesson. I am from Boston and have gone to many Extreme shows and watched them climb to the top. You knew Nuno was going to leave a mark on the guitar world.
You are one of the best one's giving lessons on youtube because you explain things very good which i believe if you can explain things good it makes things so much easier on the student, thank you for taking the time that you do, and btw you are an amazing guitar player.
I agree, I love those licks! : ) When I heard Nuno whippin' that stuff out I had to figure them out and have used/shown those licks for many years. He has some really solid ideas and great licks/phrases. Rock on buddy!
Once again, very cool lesson Dave! I've said it before and I'll say it again...best teacher out there. Your approach makes playing fun instead of work/practice, thanks! 🤘
Thank you and you're totally welcome! That makes me feel good! : ) I think music should be fun and expressive and creative - so many people are almost militant about it and strict and serious - BLAH. It's okay to be focused and serious, but you don't have to feel like you're in a "guitar army." haha Take care and rock on!
One of the very few guys I hit subscribe for. I literally still feel like a kid when I pick up my guitar and Ive been playing over 30 yrs. and half the time cant even sit through a movie without wanting to play lol..your calm demeanor and very articulate approach lets me be that kid that ruined all my albums learning solos and songs lol. You can really tell you teach, play and listen with your heart. Good to know there are other big kids out there that still love music!!! its a gift, a craft and I am a firm believer that music chooses the real artists and musicians and shows you the difference between a technician that learns to play just for the applause. and the real musicians that say...I only have peanut butter and jelly but I finally got that amp I ve wanted and now I have good tone! and no I dont have bread...just peanut butter and Jelly LOL Thanks for taking the time to do this. :) Well done David All the best! Andy
Thank you so much and yes, I eat peanut butter and jelly all the time. : ) I totally get what you're saying here in this comment and seriously - thank you! Getting messages and comments like this from folks it great and hearing the excitement and having people tell me that I'm inspiring and motivating people to pick up their guitar and play is what this is ALL about and makes me feel great! Have a great one and thanks again for this comment and for watching too! Cheers!
As soon as I heard Nuno playing with those ideas my ears zoomed in on them and I had to learn how to play it. You can easily shift them to minor and diminished sounds too, but it modifies the fingering shape when you convert them, so I just stuck with the major version for this lesson. Good luck and have fun playing around with these ideas! \m/ Rock on \m/
Wow, very inspiring man, thanks a lot, I'll work on this, this is totally a great boost to create my own style and guitar land, thank you so much ! Cheers from Corsica !
Awesome great teaching. I like the way you say the notes instead of the fret number and explain the theory., you slow it down and teach rather than make it an ego demonstration. Thanks
Thank you so much for watching and for this comment too! I feel it's important to know what note(s) you're playing at all times. There are a lot of guitarists out there that just say "5th fret" and "9th fret" or whatever, and they really have no idea what note(s) they are playing. That's fine if you're surrounded by a bunch of tab-reading guitarists all the time, but try sitting in with a piano player, horn section, string section, or really any other musician you can imagine and as soon as someone asks "what key are you playing in" - if you say "5th fret" they're probably going to laugh at you. I can say that with authority, because that's exactly what happened to me when I was a teenager and attempting to play with a piano player. : ) Thanks again and rock on!
This is simply great. I've been working on Nuno's style for years and this helped me to improve aspects of his playing straight away. Also, I prefer a different fingering with index finger and ring finger on the g string and on the e string the index finger and pinky finger.
Brilliant video lesson Dave, really nailed Nuno's style. His percussive muting hammer- on technique is also worth an analysis. We have the same taste in guitarists! Look forward to your upcoming videos. Cheers
Great playing, but even better teaching. Smooth, easy to follow along and can see the notes on the fret when moving too fast for ear to recognize the diminished runs 👍🎸🎶🎵
You’re killing me… So so good! Another guitar player that I never really got into but I don’t think that matters. Just hearing what you were doing… The fluidity in your playing. Really great video!
I like getting feedback and comments like this! Thank you and I'm happy to learn that I've exposed a few people to the music and magic coming from Nuno's fingers. : ) Stay tuned and thanks again!
I think you are selling yourself short here… Here’s the thing: I am very aware of all the players that your videos are about. I started playing guitar in 1982 and I lived through all of these guys but never really got into that type of music. I think it was the hairspray and the spandex, maybe? And don’t get me started on the vocalists… LOL. I think the thing that draws me to your videos is you’re playing… Said it before and I’ll say it again… The fluidity, smoothness and technique are pretty close to impeccable. Plus your teaching mannerisms are great. So laid-back… Even though you can play everything these guys play, you remain very humble. I think you’re making great videos with valuable content and I’m going to keep watching them. Thank you very much for what you were doing and have a great day!
And not that this matters but all I do is listen… I am almost blind so I can’t even see what you were doing. I know what my ears are telling me and in my opinion you are killing it!
Thank you so much Mike and these comments ROCK! : ) Everyone tells me I'm too humble, but I don't know how else to be - it's just how I am. I also love helping people with music and have been teaching the guitar professionally since I was in high school. Teaching runs in my family too, so I know I inherited some of these genes from my parents and grandparents as well. Thanks again and ROCK ON\m/
Awesome lesson! Love the Saudades de Rock album by Extreme from 2008. So many good songs on that. Btw Dave you shredded the hell outta the scales in this lesson. Spot on!😎👍
A wierd question: I really like that pick collection on your wall, what is that? A collection of picks from other players collected? Or a painting? And thank you for the lesson, nuno is a great player. And like the lesson you made 👍
I learned these shapes from Paul GIlbert's playing. I would say he is Nuno's predecessor even if only by a few years. Then the tapping ideas in He-man Woman Hater, and Get the Funk Out were the next logical progression. I'm sure Paul wasn't the first to do this but I saw it from him first. Chris Impelliteri does a lot of these too.
Heck yeah! All of those players you mentioned are excellent. I think all of those players on the scene were listening and touring with each other, so you know they were also copping licks and ideas from each other too. Rock on and thanks for watching and this comment too! : )
Nice one, always been a great Nuno fan! Just to clear something up, in the string skipping section what is the picking pattern? Would it be downstroke, hammer-on, downstroke, upstroke, pull-off, upstroke? I guess at those speeds you must really optimize hand motion economy.
Thank you! : ) I typically use a lot of legato when playing licks like these, and I also generally pick things using a alternate picking approach, but it's not really a "strict" alternate picking thing. I usually play around with the picking direction until I find something that's comfortable or feels natural. I guess it really depends on the fingering pattern and the overall sequence of notes too. If it's straight up and down that's one thing, but if it moves and twists around alot then I might create a weird picking pattern to accommodate. I hope this helps! \m/ ROCK ON \m/
Okay I’m gonna use my middle finger first sweep lick am...since it’s already well trained from earlier conflicts in real life situations 😀..already huge fan of your videos btw 🌞
Sounds great, David! For the non-tapped arpeggios, could you further describe the picking? (i.e. direction and which notes are hammer-ons/pull-offs) Looking forward to watching your other lessons.
Thank you so much and thanks for watching too! As far as the picking for these ideas and types of arpeggios, I used to use a strict alternate picking approach, but over time the "strict" side of things has loosened up a little bit, and I've noticed that sometimes I'll pluck something using two downstrokes in a row (for an accented sound), whereas in the past I would've alt picked it. As a rule of thumb for these types of licks, I generally pick notes on the lower strings (D-G string) with a downstroke, and then when I'm accessing notes on the B-high E strings, I tend to strike those with an upstroke. I guess it really depends on the arpeggio shape/fingering and the sequence I'm performing too. If it's just straight up and down the arpeggio, it's a little easier to decide how to pick it and when to mix and match between down and upstrokes. But if it's a sequenced idea (a la Gilbert, Nuno, etc...), you may have to play around with your picking direction and attack while you're putting the lick together and getting a feel for it. Good luck to you and I hope this makes sense and helps! Thanks again and rock on!
That's the lick!!!The Nuno lick!! Thanks so much for sharing 🤘🤸👍👍 Hope you are well God loves you deeply Shalom 🎸 🔊🏞️ ⛰️🏔️🎉 ✨🎇 🎆🎊 🎈🐕 🕊️🌷 ✝️❤️ Philippians 4:8
I just noticed something that I haven't seen before: Do you always tap the top three strings with your index finger and bottom three with your middle finger?
Great lesson and lick. Put it in guitar pro so i can go over it whenever i want. Hope to use this to build my speed and string skipping technique. Thanks!
Thank you so much and I'll totally add some Gary Moore to the mix soon. I've been thinking about him a lot lately, so he's coming up soon. : ) Rock on\m/
Wicked absolutely sick dive into his arpeggios thanks Dave !! What I always thought was cool was the way that he almost arpegiates certain pentatonic patterns, his outro solo run in "pornograffiti" or in some solo fills in the song "politicalamity" one song I HIGHLY recommend you check out that really will blow your mind is nunos guest solo on Nickel backs "for the river" off of their last album "feed the machine" YES I know sounds crazy but that's him playing in that band for that 1 song! Nickel back is both famous and very infamous here in Canada, I remember when the album released and they played that song on the radio I thought when did nickel back start playing such good solos?! Haha go and give it a listen man it's a lick-bag of nunos style, I believe he even used his monstrous N7 string Washburn because nickel back often sticks to B standard tuning or drop B! * Have a good one Dave, like the recent video on boulette I can't wait to see some more underrated guys on 3 for all! such as: Richard fortus, Michael lee firkins, Pete lesperance, Ian Thornley, Phil X I could go on theirs too many hahah * Cheers from Niagara falls Canada🙏🤘 - Adam
This is awesome and thank you so much! I love getting comments and messages like this! I haven't heard that Nickleback tune (yet), but I'll totally check it out. : ) Stay tuned for more material and I'll see what I can do about adding some content focusing on those great players you mentioned. Thanks again and \m/ ROCK ON \m/
I could totally look into that and thanks! Guthrie does a lot of that stuff too, and I think we've found his source of inspiration for his muted phrases. : ) haha \m/ ROCK ON \m/
I was kind of fed up with guitar lately but discovering your channel made me want to practice again and revisit some music I haven't listened to in years (Queensryche, Tesla...). I guess YT is kind of saturated with content, but give it some time and this channel will be huge. The quality of your content/teaching is way above average and you seem like a really cool dude. P.S.: If you take requests I'd love to see some Per Nilsson's licks (my favorite "modern" guitar player). David (Galicia, Spain)
Thank you so much and I love getting messages and comments like this! : ) I'm really just getting things started around here, so hearing things like this and noticing the slow growth daily for this channel is really encouraging. Thank you again and stay tuned for more material! Peace!
I used to add tabs to the videos, but I've been offering the PDF tab files to Patreon supporters as an incentive and thanks for helping to keep the lights on around here. : ) Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more videos!
Nuno's guitar strings are so close to the neck,it's rediculous..and you can hear it live,I just cringe,but I love his playin on Extremes first 3 albums.. Awesome..
He does like that low action - hahaha! I really like those first three Extreme albums too. That debut album (that most people forget about) is on FIRE! \m/ NUNO \m/ Thanks again and take care!
@@retiredsuperstar7780 Wha.....??He musta changed up cause man I saw one of his 80$ videos and those strings looked like they were just laying on those first 3 frets top of the neck,he must be heavy handed..
Thank god! It's so refreshing to hear someone who speaks CALMLY, as opposed to so many online instructors who talk AT you.

I had virtually given up the online lesson thing, until I discovered yours! Thank you so so much man!
Great lesson. I like that you talk about notes and chords rather than fret numbers!
Thank you so much and it took me a little while to realize that initially, I was reading/using musical notation specific for fretted musicians, but it didn't apply to anyone else.
The first time I compared notes with a pianist, I felt really stupid and had no idea what I was actually playing.

Always wondered about those damn Nuno tapped arpeggios !! Great lesson!!
Thank you so much and BAM - Nuno arps.

Thank you David. I really appreciate your lessons. The methods you share are right in tune with me. Fantastic approach.
WOW ! every video I watch of yours I am more and more impressed with your playing plus I love your laidback way of teaching

Love your lessons and interpretations, you are a great player in your own right! Very concise and informative. Good job!
Yeah. Thanks for the lesson. He's also my favorite guitarist. Rythm playing ang lead playing is just insane.
Wow the tapped arpeggios sound awesome. May have to look into those. Great work as usual 🤘
As soon as I heard Nuno playing with those ideas my ears zoomed in on them and I had to learn how to play it.
You can easily shift them to minor and diminished sounds too, but it modifies the fingering shape when you convert them, so I just stuck with the major version for this lesson.

Now that's what I like to hear!

The E add9 tapping arpeggio reminds me of some guitar parts during the chorus of Alcatrazz - God Bless Video. It sounds really cool!
I can hear that in there too - I love those old Alcatrazz albums.
Vai and Malmsteen were on fire and the music is/was really different.

That's the lick!!!The Nuno lick!! Thanks so much for sharing 🤘🤸👍👍 Hope you are well God loves you deeply Shalom 🎸 🔊🏞️ ⛰️🏔️🎉 ✨🎇 🎆🎊 🎈🐕 🕊️🌷 ✝️❤️ Philippians 4:8
You're welcome and thank you!
: )
I just noticed something that I haven't seen before: Do you always tap the top three strings with your index finger and bottom three with your middle finger?
Great lesson and lick. Put it in guitar pro so i can go over it whenever i want. Hope to use this to build my speed and string skipping technique. Thanks!
Thanks so much and that's great to hear!
: )
Good luck with this material and the other lessons too!
Take care and ROCK ON!
Uh...Do you do on line private lessons
Wow great video! Would there be any possibility of some Gary Moore related videos soon?
Thank you so much and I'll totally add some Gary Moore to the mix soon.
I've been thinking about him a lot lately, so he's coming up soon.
: )
Rock on\m/
Wicked absolutely sick dive into his arpeggios thanks Dave !! What I always thought was cool was the way that he almost arpegiates certain pentatonic patterns, his outro solo run in "pornograffiti" or in some solo fills in the song "politicalamity" one song I HIGHLY recommend you check out that really will blow your mind is nunos guest solo on Nickel backs
"for the river" off of their last album "feed the machine" YES I know sounds crazy but that's him playing in that band for that 1 song! Nickel back is both famous and very infamous here in Canada, I remember when the album released and they played that song on the radio I thought when did nickel back start playing such good solos?! Haha go and give it a listen man it's a lick-bag of nunos style, I believe he even used his monstrous N7 string Washburn because nickel back often sticks to B standard tuning or drop B!

Have a good one Dave, like the recent video on boulette I can't wait to see some more underrated guys on 3 for all! such as:
Richard fortus, Michael lee firkins, Pete lesperance, Ian Thornley,
Phil X I could go on theirs too many hahah

Cheers from Niagara falls Canada🙏🤘

This is awesome and thank you so much!
I love getting comments and messages like this!
I haven't heard that Nickleback tune (yet), but I'll totally check it out.
: )
Stay tuned for more material and I'll see what I can do about adding some content focusing on those great players you mentioned.
Thanks again and \m/ ROCK ON \m/
Great lesson, you explain everything well with clear instructions and of course your a great player to pull off nunos licks
Thank you so much - this comment rocks!
: )
Stay tuned for more material and lessons and take care!
I like this a lot. Just subbed, cheers!
Thank you so much and that's great!
Welcome aboard and cheers!

What about the lead solo on Hip Today by Nuno???
Man, that's a killer solo!
: )
Nuno is a friggin' MONSTER!
@@LateNightLessons No argument on that...🙂🙂🙂
He said on that whole album he used a Fender amp with "everything turned up to 10." His tone is way way different on the fourth record.
Brewster?!?! Good to see ya!! U still livin at the apts off of GRR?
Lee?
What's up dude!
Nah, I haven't lived in Evansville in almost ten years!
: o
Take care buddy and keep in touch!
Yup.... it’s Lee 😉 Tried to hit u up on what I am guessing is an old email. Not sure how to trade contact info without making it totally public 🤷🏾♂️
Hey could you do a video on Nuno’s percussive muted legato licks etc?
I could totally look into that and thanks!
Guthrie does a lot of that stuff too, and I think we've found his source of inspiration for his muted phrases.
: ) haha
\m/ ROCK ON \m/
@@LateNightLessons Awesome! Looking forward to it
\m/
Thanks very much - excellent lessons fabulous presentation - great stuff - keep it up (from the land of Gary Moore)
Thank you so much and take care!
: )
I'll give this a shot to work on my 2 and 4th fingers which dont like to play nice with each other
Sounds great and let me know how it goes!
Good luck and rock on!
: )
Can’t find the lesson on Patreon
I have a autographed version of that magazine!
Dude...that's awesome!
: o
Very cool!
I used to use the tapped arpeggio of his in Born to be wild when we were playing in clubs just to spice it up. Worked out great.
I was kind of fed up with guitar lately but discovering your channel made me want to practice again and revisit some music I haven't listened to in years (Queensryche, Tesla...).
I guess YT is kind of saturated with content, but give it some time and this channel will be huge.
The quality of your content/teaching is way above average and you seem like a really cool dude.
P.S.: If you take requests I'd love to see some Per Nilsson's licks (my favorite "modern" guitar player).
David (Galicia, Spain)
Thank you so much and I love getting messages and comments like this!
: )
I'm really just getting things started around here, so hearing things like this and noticing the slow growth daily for this channel is really encouraging.
Thank you again and stay tuned for more material!
Peace!
Nuno needs to show up like Bruce did!!!
Bruce and I are from the same town. Long live Racer X!!!
I think Nuno prefers the pinky as it is easier option when you try this standing up and have the guitar slung low!!!
That's true and I have learned to play it both ways - so whatever works, works.
: )
\m/ ROCK ON \m/
I think I still have that issue
Of G.W.!
I think it’s the one with Nuno on the cover wearing Bicycle shorts.😆
Move to southern Illinois, join my band so I can quit lead, I move from lead to vocals, AND WE TAKE OVER THE WHOLE WORLD!!!
Goodness you are so BA!!!!
I'm LIKER #1000! What do I win, Dave?? ;)
Is no one gonna mention how killer his tone is tho
Excellent lesson, but my fingers just fell off :(
Thank you and I'm sorry.
: o
LOL
\m/ ROCK ON \m/
Incorporate everything! That's good advise. Just playing it doesn't really do the trick! ;)
Tabs ??
I used to add tabs to the videos, but I've been offering the PDF tab files to Patreon supporters as an incentive and thanks for helping to keep the lights on around here.
: )
Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more videos!
Nuno's guitar strings are so close to the neck,it's rediculous..and you can hear it live,I just cringe,but I love his playin on Extremes first 3 albums.. Awesome..
He does like that low action - hahaha!
I really like those first three Extreme albums too.
That debut album (that most people forget about) is on FIRE!
\m/ NUNO \m/
Thanks again and take care!
KK DeVeauXgue Nuno’s action is actually stupidly high - seriously. I played his guitar in 97 at mad about music. Blew me away.
@@retiredsuperstar7780 Wha.....??He musta changed up cause man I saw one of his 80$ videos and those strings looked like they were just laying on those first 3 frets top of the neck,he must be heavy handed..
