This Nuno Bettencourt style tapping lesson is a continuation of our "Lick Of The Week" series at GuitarLessons365.com

In this video guitar lesson you will learn Nuno Bettencourt's favorite patterns for playing tapped arpeggio licks across multiple strings. It requires a great deal of string skipping, large stretches and jumping around the fretboard, but after you get used to it you will have some cool tapping licks under your belt that sound quite unique and musical.

Nuno Bettencourt has an incredible guitar style full of highly rhythmic and melodic soloing that incorporates just about every technique imaginable in a completely unique way.

The tapping style that is covered in this lesson was used by Nuno Bettencourt primarily in the solo section of the song "Get The Funk Out" with his band Extreme. If you haven't heard it by all means do because it will blow you mind.

In fact, listen to all of his songs and you will hear one of the most creative and flat out coolest guitar players in the world.

  • Carl, sorry I have go to ask, did you say just say "Noodle Bit in court?" Instead of Nuno Bettencourt? Lol thanks for the lesson, it's just as great as all the others brother!

  • may you make more john petrucci stuff and some michael romeo stuff too. they are my heroes

  • @chris1232123 Hey, Thanks alot !! Thats one of my favourites.

    Looking at Nuno I think he alternates himself, I don't really see it as a waste of the fingers if it sounds right though!

  • @GuitarAtoZ1 Hey thanks for the reply, yeah that's pretty much the way I do it - it feels the most natural to me but then I think "am I wasting my other fingers?". Nice job on Flight of the Wounded Butterfly as well by the way!

  • @chris1232123 Hi There, Check out my vid of me playing the play with me arpeggios, like yourself I use mostly index and pinkie but with a stretch I use my index + 3rd finger. Hope this helps, its not an instructional but you might get something out of it..

  • @GuitarLessons365 I'm so glad you've done this video! Nuno is one of my favourite guitarists too! If you could offer any advice on Play with Me...when I play the arpeggiated bit on the solo I have the shapes down pretty well but I'm not sure if I'm doing it technically correct. I find I'm only using my index and 'pinkie' which doesn't seem very efficient but it seems to be how my hand naturally wants to play it. Is this right? Any advice would be much appreciated :)

  • @GuitarLessons365 Thank you!

  • P.S Thanks for the great lesson !!!

  • Amazing what you can do exploring one chord....very impressive use of inversions..
