Nuno Bettencourt is a rock guitarist best in the game ritemnya. Several other guitarists who can match the game ritemnya can count for example: John Petrucci, Darren Housholder and some other metal funk players. Nuno creative techniques in creating new games have been known since the first album the band Extreme and the second group is: "Extreme" and "Pornograffitti". No wonder Nuno crowned the "Best New Talent" (best newcomer) so Extreme launched his second album "Pornograffitti".

In accordance with Nuno own words in the interview-an interview that the ideal is to write Nuno colored funk albums like Pearl Jam, Nirvana and the like. Therefore if you want to listen to Nuno's familiarity as a shredder, then we recommend you listen to the album Extreme: "Pornograffitti". The first album "Extreme" and third album "Three Side Story" is also not less good. Precisely Nuno own solo album and his new band Mourning Widows, not displaying the skill of the game Nuno own.

The dissolution Extreme Nuno quite disappointing fans. In 1982 the first time met Nuno Extreme vocalist Gary Cherone. This is the beginning of the band Extreme tsb. 2 years later (1984) Nuno leave school and concentrate on practicing guitar. Nuno see Extreme drummer Mike Mangini at a club in the Van Halen tribute band, while other bands are resting, Mike played a great drum solo. 1985 Nuno met with Extreme bassist Pat Badger who worked in a guitar shop in Winchester's Jim Mouradian where Nuno always modify his guitar there.
