| Nuno Bettencourt has to be one of my favourite guitar players, just based on his Riffs Alone. He has come up with some of the Chunkiest, Funkiest, and Catchiest Riffing I've Ever heard in my life. So this is why I chose to dedicate a page to his wicked guitar sound. And give any kind of info I can to get in depth into the equipment he uses. I've gotten some info from one of his former guitar Tech's Casey McNerney,and found out some other info on him, so Thanks to Casey for the info. So Below is pretty much everything you need to get Nuno's CLASSIC FUNKY METAL guitar sound, and his stripped down sound on the III Sides To Every Story cd.
