Randomly walking through Sydney city today and ran into Nuno in a hotel. Went in and asked if I could say hello. Got a photo and he wished me luck in my new career, what a guy! Met him a few times and the first in 93. Massive respect to a very humble guy!!

What a great interview‼️ You know Rick, what he says about « a good producer sometime just get out of the way and let it be », well you just did the very same thing being a good interviewer, just let the light on the guest, get out of the way and … let it be. Another great interview. Thank you.

Such a great human being, love this guy. I always have reaper open when i'm jamming because something will catch and you got to get it. It's so much easier now. My phone have scraps that i've had to get down on my way to work, just trying to twang out the guitar parts with my voice. When that inspiration hits, you gotta go with it or it's gone. Not just with music, life is like that too, in most things. Great interview, he has such great energy.

I relate to this so much. Can’t remember the last time I did a demo, I just feel like it takes the fun out of the process and my main motivation for making music is enjoyment. I think that’s why some music doesn’t hit the same way nowadays, because it’s refined to within an inch of its life and sounds more like a product than a piece of art.

A 12 string resonating off ceramic tiles would be quite something. Hole Hearted is such a great song, music, lyrics, performance. All their lyrics are clever. Leo Kottke often remarked how intractable a 12 string was. Nuno shows no signs of its intractability. He's amazing playing that beast!

Why would he remark that if he then proceeded to jump up and down on one every night? (using his hands of course)

I saw a KZfaq that Leon Russel did, where he's talking about a time when he had George Harrison playing on on of his tracks and George was doing about 27 takes on the one track. In the end, according to Leon, he got over it and said to George, what do you think of this take and George said that one's great, which take was that and Leon said, that was the first take. :)

I know that these guitars are not traditionally constructed like the Big Two, but wow, the intonation is precision. Until he knocked a string flat! I'm in the market for a flat top or two. A 12 fret parlour guitar would be super cool. MacKenzie & Marr make a 14.

Great story about the 12 string and the recording of the song. It goes to show you you don't need the best gear you need the best song you can do and the best performance you can muster. I'd love to hear how The Clash made London Calling, that record is amazing. Hint hint Rick!

Then I learned Nuno is my age, and portuguese like me. Been my guitar hero ever since!! Theres no one quite like Nuno on a guitar.
