About Rise


"Rise" from Extreme's 2023 album SIX sits in E minor at a brisk 128 BPM, and E Standard tuning means you can play it exactly as recorded without any retuning. The tempo keeps steady pressure on your fretting hand, so clean chord transitions matter more than raw speed here. Much of what makes this track feel powerful comes from the rhythmic guitar work, where locking tightly to the pulse is the real challenge. If a particular riff or chord sequence keeps slipping, pull it up in the Practice Toolbar, set an A/B loop around that section, and slow it down until the movement feels automatic before pushing the tempo back up. Hard Rock rhythm playing rewards a firm, consistent pick attack, so pay attention to your dynamics as much as your accuracy. Getting that controlled, driving feel under your fingers is what the song is asking for.

  • Played in E Standard tuning, so no retuning is needed and you can pick up and play straight from the tab.
  • At 128 BPM the rhythm parts demand a steady, consistent pick attack, making it a solid exercise in right-hand discipline.
  • Focusing on E minor chord shapes and minor scale runs will help you understand the harmonic foundation driving the song.

How to Play Rise

The song moves through: Intro, Verse, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, Solo, Interlude, Chrous, Outro.

Tuning: E Standard · Key: E minor · Tempo: 128 BPM · Difficulty: Medium

The arrangement runs through 8 distinct sections, and the solo is the steepest jump, so isolate it on its own.

Use the section loop to isolate a passage, drop the speed below 100%, and set the metronome to 128 BPM to build it up to tempo.

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
Pedal

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
Pedal

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.
