In this interview, Gi's Jonathan Graham catches up with Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt to talk about all things Extreme. In the interview, you'll hear about the new Extreme album 'Six' that drops in June 2023. This is Extreme's first new full-length release since 2008's Saudades de Rock.

Throughout the interview, Nuno talks about the approach to making the album and shares some stories about being visited by Eddie Van Halen, and why Brian May respects him as a player. There is a strong message for guitar players in this interview about the importance of playing for the song and how Nuno only functions as a great guitarist inside a great song.
