    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!!

Another great interview. Thank you.

    Such a great human being, love this guy. I always have reaper open when i'm jamming because something will catch and you got to get it. It's so much easier now. My phone have scraps that i've had to get down on my way to work, just trying to twang out the guitar parts with my voice. When that inspiration hits, you gotta go with it or it's gone. Not just with music, life is like that too, in most things. Great interview, he has such great energy.

      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!

  • @ralphmackay6635
    @ralphmackay6635 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    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!

    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.

    I saw a TH-cam 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. :)

    Yeah! I think its quite clear Nuno improvises Albums, no question. If existing chunks reappear from his mind during his playing, there should be no problem. you´ll find these lydian E/D Business and modal pedal point in the song writing tool kit from ABBA and JS Bach to Zappa, so c´mon. It´s a harmonic tool. Great to see Nuno talking about the process as I was blown away with Extreme I. THX to you both!! I like the statement on capturing the initial emotion above perfect recording technique and the discussion on a producer´s role.
