Nuno is now a full-time member of Rihanna's band. He still plays with Extreme, though. Nuno also played for Janet Jackson on the album "Rhythm Nation."

Nuno was Rihanna's guitarist for her last two tours.  I even read in an interview somewhere that quite a bunch of the money he's been getting from it have all been going back to putting together Extreme's albums and live shows.

Also, the first person I thought of under this category was Reb Beach with Chaka Khan.

Reb Beach also was once a session guitar player for The Bee Gees. And Blues Saraceno for Cher. Unfortunately, there are no videos available or existing of these great partnerships.

Too bad, the guitar player in this video is not Reb Beach.

Orianthi for Michael Jackson. Unfortunately that white black guy died so it was only during rehearsals.
