Bertoncini was notable in the world of jazz guitar for using a nylon-string guitar in performances and recordings, as Charlie Byrd had done in the 1950s and 1960s.

After hearing a Julian Bream album at the advice of his teacher Chuck Wayne, Bertoncini began studying classical guitar and using the instrument for jazz and Latin music styles.

He graduated from high school and attended the University of Notre Dame, where, in 1959, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Architectural Engineering.

He also played clarinet for the Notre Dame marching band.

His first guitar teacher was Johnny Smith.

After college he entered the Marines, then moved to Chicago, where he became immersed in the jazz scene, working with Carmen McRae.

He returned to New York City and played with vibraphonist Mike Mainieri and then in one of Buddy Rich's ensembles.

2008

Bertoncini discussed his use of the instrument in a 2008 interview:

"I started practicing classical guitar just about the time when the bossa nova hit. Joao [Gilberto] was borrowing my guitar, I was playing the classical repertoire, and all these things kind of came together. I was doing studio work at the time, and I got a call to play on a big album by Ahmad Jamal; they wanted somebody to play a bossa nova kind of thing."
