More Than Words - With Tapping Part!

"More Than Words" by Extreme is an acoustic-driven ballad that showcases fingerpicking technique alongside an advanced tapping section, making it a rewarding challenge for electric guitar players. Originally performed on acoustic guitar, the piece translates well to electric, allowing players to explore clean tone dynamics and intricate fretwork. The tapping part adds a technical layer that helps guitarists develop right-hand tapping coordination within a melodic, musical context.

  • The song features a fingerpicking pattern that requires clean separation between melody and bass lines, great for developing two-hand independence.
  • Adding the tapping section challenges players to smoothly transition between fingerpicking and right-hand tapping techniques within a single piece.
  • Extreme is known for blending rock with acoustic sensibility, and this track highlights the band's technical guitar craftsmanship.
Soldano SLO-100
Amp

Soldano SLO-100

Nuno's signature amp on Pornograffitti, the SLO-100 delivers warm, compressed high-gain saturation that responds dynamically to his pick attack and volume knob control. Its singing sustain and tight low-end define Extreme's heavy yet articulate rhythm and lead tones.

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah

Nuno uses this wah for funk-inflected lead lines that add expressive character to Extreme's genre-blending sound without overpowering his core tube amp tone. The Cry Baby's responsive sweep complements his dynamic playing style and wide vibrato.

Boss DD-3 Digital Delay

Nuno deploys the DD-3 for ambient, spacious lead passages that contrast with Extreme's heavy rhythm sections, adding texture without digital artifacts that would clash with his warm Soldano tone. It's a subtle effect that enhances his compositional range.
