Nuno Bettencourt

Nuno Bettencourt (born September 20, 1966) is a Portuguese-American guitarist, singer and songwriter, best known as the lead guitarist of the rock band Extreme. He released the solo album Schizophonic in 1996.

Best known as Extreme's lead guitarist; noted for virtuosic, funk-inflected rock guitar playing. Released Schizophonic (1996) as a solo record; later work includes bands such as Dramagods.

The DeBaser review finds Schizophonic musically varied and fragmented, showcasing Nuno's strong guitar work but uneven songwriting and production choices. Standout tracks include "Gravity", "Fine by Me" and "You"; some experiments with electronics and samples are criticized. Recommended primarily for fans and collectors rather than casual listeners.

For:Fans of Extreme and guitar-oriented rock; collectors; listeners interested in 1990s solo experiments
