This is good. nandyan me rin. sa Clinic na yan.sa may speaker side. i believe ikaw yata yung guy na nag rerecord sa harapan. na sinabihan ni Nuno na " you're enjoying with that thing" ayos clinic na yun
Look, people - if you had bothered to listen to the Flight of the Bumblebee by Rimsky-Korsakov you would realize that it is a COMPLETELY different piece of music. Listen. With your ears. And shut yer yaps.
awesome guitar player, my fave band(extreme) but nuno did NOT compose this...its based on a classical piece"flight of the bumblebee" written by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (nuno does this song very proud btw...lol)
kepuckd, after what u said I can only think that your knowledge about music is zero. Those songs are completly diferent (just check out the tabs if your ears can't detect the diference).I admit if you say inspired by, but Nuno's song is diferent.Nuno is an impressive guitar player technically(u have many more songs as an example)and more meaningful than that he plays with soul, rithym, the funkiest out there, all around player.Above that is one of the humblest, just lives for music like few live
@ZeChiko I love Nuno Bettencourt. LOVE him. I think he is a phenomenal player. I'm not dissing him as a musician. I was talking about a small technicality, in a post - LOADS of people play their own version of a popular song/orchestration. My comment was about someone using the word compose/composition and I was saying that Nuno didn't compose that. I sing, whether I'm good or not matters not but, if I should add a few grace notes, breaks, etc I am not also a composer. I love Nuno, no doubt.
justfine77777: Just out of curiosity, who do you consider not to be overrated? If you think Nuno was overrated, I'd like to know by what standard and why you think he's overrated. Just curious, that's all. =)
Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani, Eddie Van Halen, Jennifer Batten, Bob Zabek, Dwayne Allman, George Lynch to name a few. I am not saying the guy can't play guitar or anything, but I have never seen him do anything to really impress me. I just think he is far from a guitar god, and he is all over the guitar magazines. I messed around with the Washburn N4 the other day, and I thought is was overpriced and overrated. :)
gilbert, satriani and lynch are overrated. i love them but I can honestly say they are some of the most overrated players out there. Nuno in my opinion is one of the most underrated players
That is why these are all opinions. I have mine, and you have yours. Also, these people names are all kind of guitar player's "guitar players". Check out Lynch at the 2009 Namm show. He has evolved over the years. I am just not a big Nuno fan. I am not saying he is bad, but nothing he does tickles me with a feather.
no i know. i keep up with lynch religiously. he is one of my favorite guitar players but i still think hes overrated haha :D. I even have his signature model
I doubt you will. Nuno is regarded as a great guitarist because of his take on playing the guitar (e.g. his blending of percussive, rhythmic playing), and it's unlikely that you will ever be won over if you aren't already. Personally, I think you're crazy - he's incredible. :)
@justfine77777 lolol.... You don't think he's a good player??? wow. I've never heard anyone say that about Nuno. Who do you think is a good player, Kurt Cobain???
Kurt Cobain did what he did. Pretty prolific songwriter, but not a guitar wizard. I like different players for different reasons, but Nuno has never done a single thing to impress me, but may be some of the people that impress me would not impress you. Lynch, Van Halen, Slash, Gibbons, Morello, Gilbert.
@justfine77777 I'm a guitar player. And as a guitar player I like pretty much everybody you mentioned (not so much Morello. Skilled, but I don't care for his songs) Maybe that's why you don't like Nuno, you just don't like his songs. But his mastery of the instrument cannot be denied.
I like a lot of people, and some people I just don't care for, but the amazing thing is that we had this debate without bringing anyones Mother into it.....:)) What axes do you play? I have a 79 Les Paul that I never play, a Taylor 714ce that I love, an Ibanez PGM301I could take it or leave it, and I have an Ibanez RG550 in the roadflare red. I love that guitar. I would have paid $5000 for it if I would have known how much I would have liked it. The neck on it is amazing.
@justfine77777 On my youtube page you can see me playing my '91 Les Paul with EMGs. Just a little noodling. I also have an '01 LP Custom alpine white, a '93 or so LP classic with a tea burst finish, an '03 LP flame top, and an '81 tobacco burst LP with all original hardware and electronics. Also a Peavey Wolfgang I bought back in 2000, and a Washburn acoustic. I have a Marshall TSL and a Peavey 120 watt 3 channel combo. I don't run rack effects, but have a pretty good array of pedals.
@justfine77777 2) I prefer to get my tone from my fingers, guitar and amp. The TSL does run pretty high gain, but not stupid high where it kills the tone of the guitar, like so many people do nowadays. I love my pedals though. Use them mostly for a little color on leads and such. I have a Boss noise gate. boss tuner pedal, Boss limiter, Boss compression, Ibanez chorus/flanger, Boss EQ, Ibanez delay/reverb, MXR phase 90, and a Tech 9 wah. All mounted to my Furhman pedal board.
@justfine77777 I also have a Boss distortion pedal (though I don't really need it) that I sometimes mount to my board. My TSL is 3 channels, but once in a while I'll kick on the clean channel and use the Boss distortion for a different sound. I've got this narly little Danelectro talk box too, but can't use it live because it's too noisy. Not a real talk box, just a pedal. But it has the tube and mike. I can record with it straight, but it whistles like a bitch running through an amp.
I hear ya on not a lot of effects. I have a Dime wah, and I don't use it often. I have a Peavey Valve King, and it is okay I guess. I play on Tuesday night with some guys, and I use a Line6 amp that happens to be there all the time. I have really wanted to buy a nice high end tube amp, but I have not found anything I really like. I thought I would like that Boogie Mark 4, but I could not get any sounds out of it I really liked. I thought the same about the Kranks. No luck there either.
@justfine77777 lol. u must be picky. Those are some good amps. But I gotta say after my TSL all other amps have paled to me. Maybe it's a mental thing. maybe all I see is the big white Marshall logo. Or maybe the amp's just that good. What kind of music do you play? I did play an amp a few months ago that made my dick pretty hard. The name started with a B. (wasn't a Bogner) Let me know the type music you play, I'll look up that amp. Then maybe you can go try one out.
It all begins and ends with Eddie for me, but I like a lot of music. Metallica, Dime, anything Slash, STP, Radiohead. I like anything. I wanted to do a Cher song with the guys I play with, but I got overruled. I played one of those Diezel amps, and I thought it was awful. May be it was the player. :)) I tend to like a really high gain sound. White Zombie Lasexercisto had great guitar sound, Pantera CFH, ect...
I am going to buy a handful of effects after the new year. I am thinking of picking up the Digitech Whammy, a digital delay, a distortion of some kind, a phaser, and a flanger. I think picking up some new stuff sometimes can bring you out of a rut with your playing, if that makes sense?
@justfine77777 The name of the amp I played was a Bugera. It was an all tube 120watt powerhouse. The good thing, unlike my Marshall, it only sold for around $800. You could probably do even better. But I would definitely say, even though it doesn't have the big name like a Marshall or Laney or Hiwatt, don't pass it by without trying it out. If I needed a new amp, honestly that would be the way to go. I hear the new 5150s are pretty mean too.
@justfine77777 I found it!!!! Do a search on Bugera 333. That's one bad ass amp. 3 channels, 120 watts. And on top of that it's sexy as hell. If that doesn't get your dick hard when you play it you need another hobby!!!! lolol.....
the guitar has has a delay effect, so what? the sound is still awesome! and yeah it's a version of the original song composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
Easy to play, hard to play...blah blah blah. Let's see you COMPOSE something like this. I see tons of people playing other people's music on this site but I hardly EVER see any originality.
@markdeaton Only problem is Nuno didn't compose this, he just tweaked it to make it his won. "Flight of the Bumblebee" is an orchestral interlude written by Nikolai Rimsky- Korsakov for his opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan, composed in 1899–1900. Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee is an only slightly different interpretation.
No He composed it. Just because its called flight of the wounded bumblebee doesnt mean he just tweaked flight of the bumblebee. They sound quite different if you had listened to them both,.
@markdeaton Yeah man, let's see if I or anyone, like you or me, can do Either of these things instead of bringin Universe down with the quadrosphere's 'typed-in, negative junk-thoughts".....
To anyone who plays guitar and is at least decent at it... this is pretty simple. Especially considering the delay. I'm guessing most of the fans of this guy are either not musicians or are not good enough to realize this is off.
Standard rock and roll flamboyant "sounds difficult but isn't" type stuff.
Try looking up Paul Gilbert... Andy Timmons... Guthrie Govan... Antoine Dufour... Steffen Schackinger... Shawn Lane... etc.
Nuno himself has referred to this as a goof-off, showoff piece, so your criticism isn't exactly a new insight. But maybe (just maybe) his fans like him because of more than just one playful track. You really come across here like someone who wants to be thought highly of, not sure if that's accurate.
This is great, its not amazing hard to play but its cool, technically others prolly better but at guitar wars nuno out played PG. Nunos not big headed he wouldnt say he was god like. plus you do something this cool before you spout crap
Tb0ne, that's not a tremelo. That's a delay. He's basically ping ponging the notes. That means that before the first note repeates, he plays a second note. So, it's like this: first note, the second note, then the delay/echo of the first note etc etc. That's how you get the sound for Bumblebee. If you play the guitar, try it. set the delay kind of slow, with only 1 repeat. Before the first note repeats, play another note. It's pretty cool, once you get the groove.
and i guess your boyfriend.. eh i mean mentor could play this perfect?? i think not my friend, ok so he hits a few wrong notes... still a great display of pure skill
I'm sorry, but who is your mentor to criticize Nuno? No musician is going to play any solo the exact same way twice. Nuno is a virtuoso with more God given talent than most people will ever even be able to hope for. And for your information, I read an article about this clinic recently that stated that Nuno was not feeling well that day, so you'll have to forgive him for being a little sloppy. At least he showed up and gave his performance. Many people would have cancelled due to illness.
dont forget it, eddies got more style and dynamic. people tend to give that shit up when they play too fast. i think its sweet too but eddie is still the shit
are u here to get pleasure? I would love to help u! i have perfect body: beautiful face, slender body, long hair and perfect legs! u would like it? i'm dreaming about sex with a real man! real passionate guy who will fuck me so i couldn't walk for a week! :) u will get satisfation from my show! and u will come back for more! :) Muah! come visit me at Play-Cam * COM my user-id there is Jasmine-nwsh chat soon on cam :) ovcliyvjma
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
nope not better than buckethead. If anything, even. Plus buckethead is more creative. Once you play at speed of light and do all the other odd techniques, how is one better than the other. If you've watched very many BH performances, how could you say anyone is better than him?
Buckethead is fast, but he's not as fast as MAB. MAB does not have much feeling. All raw speed. Then you put in some soul and you get Lukather. He's crazy fast with soul and depth. Then you add a pinch of innovation and you get Satch. Then you add a little Zappa to the mix and you get Vai. Vai is as fast as any guiatrist I have ever seen. Vai twists it up a little bit and throws it back at you full force at times (The Attitude song), then with sublty (For The Love Of God).
butckethead is AT LEAST A LEAGUE BELOW NUNO, I REALLY dont like any of his songs, i've listened to the jordan one and I felt sick, I didnt see any good feeling in his playing and the atmosphere of the song was bah.LOUSY riff at the beginning I wouldn't make a song out of it even if you'd pay me, and I HATE his exaggerated tapping it sounds like wierd screeching.
Nuno has it ALL, speed(not the fastest at all) , feeling, creativity, good rythm playing , he's got EVERYTHING a guitarist needs.
If somebody paid me enough, I would. ;D Besides, his N4s aren't off the shelf models. Washburn can actually make a very nice instrument when they want to. ;D
In 1974, Satriani studied music with jazz guitarist Billy Bauer and with reclusive jazz pianist Lennie Tristano. The technically demanding Tristano greatly influenced Satriani's playing. Satriani also began teaching guitar, with his most notable student at the time being fellow Long Island native Steve Vai.
In 1978 Satriani moved to Berkeley, California to pursue a music career. Not long after his arrival he resumed teaching. His most notable California students included Kirk Hammett
the mans a genius and the fact hes playing this still as well in 2005 shows he's still got it come on nuno give us a guitar instrumental album full of all the most pretentious shredding the world has ever heard and then just let all the jealous idiots just dream
It's not stolen but "Flight of the Bumble Bee" is a real song, so it's a modified version I guess, and there is no way it's easy just listen to it!. Also he uses echoing when he plays.
I used 2 try & play this many years ago, it is such a clever piece of composition, didn't realise until now it is a response to Rimsky-Korsakov's original Flight of the Bumblebee.. Excellent :)
Skunkyfunk, I think I saw you filming this. Was there [left most part of the stage]. If I'm not mistaken, you were using an O2 and Nuno saw you filming him. Did I get it right? Or was that a different person. That place was packed and we waited for almost two hours outside.
If he plays ONE wrong note, either the melodic line will get messed up as it repeats later, or the harmony will be akward as the wrong note is repeated above an otherwise correct note.
This piece is brilliant, and demonstrates masterful composition, technique, and execution.
THEN.... he starts playing 16th notes. Each note, still delayed 3 16th notes ahead, provides a harmony note for the note that comes 3 16ths later!
If his playing is note *absolutely precise* the whole thing falls apart. If his timing is off, the delay and drum machine will still go according to the programmed rate and it will be a mess. ...cont'd
In the first part, he's just playing eighth notes.
Then the delay kicks in... at that point, the math works out perfectly.... each note being delayed by a precise amount (3/16ths) provides the illusion of him playing 16th notes. Of course, planning goes a long way to ensure melodic fluency and consistency. ...con't
He's NOT just wanking at a million miles an hour. The drum machine is to keep time, as the tempo is *very* precise. The delay setting is also *very* precise. The drum machine and digital delay are midi-ed together so that they are in perfect sync - you know... so long as the player is in perfect sync.
This is not, afaik, the same "Flight of the Bumblebee" as composed by Rimsky-Korsakov. It is composed in the spirit of that composition, hence, the altered title 'wounded bumblebee.'
The brilliance of this piece is in the planning. cont'd
now u consider people playing fast are producing aweful music.... well, Nuno is not about speed, he's technique, major guitarist and many bands are considering as one of the best in this era.... why don't try listning to his slow music, or search for :
midnight express - nuno bettencourt
BTW, many of parts of his musical works are in the books for studying....
First of all, thats a classical solo. it was done on piano. he did an awsome job at it. dont make stupid comments saying people who play fast are horrible if you would never EVER think of something up like that.
i met him that day.. and aside from being a great guitarist, he is so fine (drool) anyways he is nice, very humble down to earth.. and very funny(good adlibs while he was doing the "clinic" lol). :]
3 words: Nuno...kicks...ass!!! no doubt about it. man, I wish Extreme was still together, partly because of Nunos guitar playing. it's so disappointing how he was (and still kind of is) so underrated. it was mostly due to the fact that extreme was largely underrated. but man, its true when they say that Extreme is the best band no one has ever heard of.
Not because of this performance or piece but yea..I agree..Nuno is probably the most underrated guitarists out there for being such a master. I guess that's what you get for joining a buttrock band like Extreme...lol Him and Paul guilbert should of teamed up and bagged the porn rock.
nuno is one of the best ... y nadie lo puede negar ... pero, lo visto hay mucha gente aq q no sabe apreciar un musico y guitarrista de la calidad y talento de nuno .. vallan a escuchar a ynwie estupidos o a unos wnes rapidos por ahi bye...
Hamwinkie(nice name) Maybe not pleasing to your ear but I suspect you're in the minority here. Even if you don't find it pleasing you sure as shit have to appreciate the technical ingenuity and skill behind this piece. Or maybe you're just insanely jealous because you could never come remotely close to being this talented and well regarded by the guitar community.
This is good. nandyan me rin. sa Clinic na yan.sa may speaker side. i believe ikaw yata yung guy na nag rerecord sa harapan. na sinabihan ni Nuno na " you're enjoying with that thing" ayos clinic na yun

@markdeaton Only problem is Nuno didn't compose this, he just tweaked it to make it his won. "Flight of the Bumblebee" is an orchestral interlude written by Nikolai Rimsky- Korsakov for his opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan, composed in 1899–1900. Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee is an only slightly different interpretation.
kepuckd 1 year ago
No He composed it. Just because its called flight of the wounded bumblebee doesnt mean he just tweaked flight of the bumblebee. They sound quite different if you had listened to them both,.

This.. isn't great.
To anyone who plays guitar and is at least decent at it... this is pretty simple. Especially considering the delay. I'm guessing most of the fans of this guy are either not musicians or are not good enough to realize this is off.
Standard rock and roll flamboyant "sounds difficult but isn't" type stuff.
Try looking up Paul Gilbert... Andy Timmons... Guthrie Govan... Antoine Dufour... Steffen Schackinger... Shawn Lane... etc.
LGrey8 2 years ago
Nuno himself has referred to this as a goof-off, showoff piece, so your criticism isn't exactly a new insight. But maybe (just maybe) his fans like him because of more than just one playful track. You really come across here like someone who wants to be thought highly of, not sure if that's accurate.
Oh and Paul Gilbert is a terrible man.

he uses a delay. he cannot play it for real and this sounds like crap. if you would learn how to pick properly it woulnt sound so bad.
rogerandgunner 2 years ago
Tb0ne, that's not a tremelo. That's a delay. He's basically ping ponging the notes. That means that before the first note repeates, he plays a second note. So, it's like this: first note, the second note, then the delay/echo of the first note etc etc. That's how you get the sound for Bumblebee. If you play the guitar, try it. set the delay kind of slow, with only 1 repeat. Before the first note repeats, play another note. It's pretty cool, once you get the groove.
peace

I'm sorry, but who is your mentor to criticize Nuno? No musician is going to play any solo the exact same way twice. Nuno is a virtuoso with more God given talent than most people will ever even be able to hope for. And for your information, I read an article about this clinic recently that stated that Nuno was not feeling well that day, so you'll have to forgive him for being a little sloppy. At least he showed up and gave his performance. Many people would have cancelled due to illness.

nope not better than buckethead. If anything, even. Plus buckethead is more creative. Once you play at speed of light and do all the other odd techniques, how is one better than the other. If you've watched very many BH performances, how could you say anyone is better than him?
croz1983 3 years ago
Buckethead is fast, but he's not as fast as MAB. MAB does not have much feeling. All raw speed. Then you put in some soul and you get Lukather. He's crazy fast with soul and depth. Then you add a pinch of innovation and you get Satch. Then you add a little Zappa to the mix and you get Vai. Vai is as fast as any guiatrist I have ever seen. Vai twists it up a little bit and throws it back at you full force at times (The Attitude song), then with sublty (For The Love Of God).

butckethead is AT LEAST A LEAGUE BELOW NUNO, I REALLY dont like any of his songs, i've listened to the jordan one and I felt sick, I didnt see any good feeling in his playing and the atmosphere of the song was bah.LOUSY riff at the beginning I wouldn't make a song out of it even if you'd pay me, and I HATE his exaggerated tapping it sounds like wierd screeching.

marktremontirules1 3 years ago 5
In 1974, Satriani studied music with jazz guitarist Billy Bauer and with reclusive jazz pianist Lennie Tristano. The technically demanding Tristano greatly influenced Satriani's playing. Satriani also began teaching guitar, with his most notable student at the time being fellow Long Island native Steve Vai.
In 1978 Satriani moved to Berkeley, California to pursue a music career. Not long after his arrival he resumed teaching. His most notable California students included Kirk Hammett

Skunkyfunk, I think I saw you filming this. Was there [left most part of the stage]. If I'm not mistaken, you were using an O2 and Nuno saw you filming him. Did I get it right? Or was that a different person. That place was packed and we waited for almost two hours outside.
jenAdriano 4 years ago
If he plays ONE wrong note, either the melodic line will get messed up as it repeats later, or the harmony will be akward as the wrong note is repeated above an otherwise correct note.
This piece is brilliant, and demonstrates masterful composition, technique, and execution.

javyisemu 4 years ago
The notes are not a carbon copy of the album version. Not that they need to be.
Sutherlinite 4 years ago
THEN.... he starts playing 16th notes. Each note, still delayed 3 16th notes ahead, provides a harmony note for the note that comes 3 16ths later!
If his playing is note *absolutely precise* the whole thing falls apart. If his timing is off, the delay and drum machine will still go according to the programmed rate and it will be a mess. ...cont'd
NowHereThisRocks 4 years ago
In the first part, he's just playing eighth notes.
Then the delay kicks in... at that point, the math works out perfectly.... each note being delayed by a precise amount (3/16ths) provides the illusion of him playing 16th notes. Of course, planning goes a long way to ensure melodic fluency and consistency. ...con't
NowHereThisRocks 4 years ago
He's NOT just wanking at a million miles an hour. The drum machine is to keep time, as the tempo is *very* precise. The delay setting is also *very* precise. The drum machine and digital delay are midi-ed together so that they are in perfect sync - you know... so long as the player is in perfect sync.

This is not, afaik, the same "Flight of the Bumblebee" as composed by Rimsky-Korsakov. It is composed in the spirit of that composition, hence, the altered title 'wounded bumblebee.'
