Excellent! My question..Is Nuno also playing a sweep-picked arp in that solo or is he doing something else that sounds like it? I don't normally see Nuno using a sweep pick technique very often, if at all.

so excited to see this lesson! Nuno is my fav, and pornoG is my most played! I'd be keen for the solo end of Rock a bye bye, and or Warheads solo :) I know I shouldn't be greedy, I will just have to up my monthly fee :) Curious to know if you have an N2 or N4 being such a fan of Nuno? I have one of the first N2's in New Zealand and its actually signed by Steve Vai..lol. Thanks again, keep up the great work, big fan, and follower, you have taught me alot.
