GUNS N' ROSES Guitarist BUMBLEFOOT: New Audio Interview Posted Online - May 26, 2011

GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal was recently interviewed by Rock My Monkey. You can now listen to the chat using the audio player below.

Thal has just released the fifth in a series of singles being made available digitally this year, an original song entitled "Father". Described as "melodic and grungy," the track is available in MP3 (320kps), AAC, and higher-quality formats FLAC, MP3 HD, Apple Lossless and WAV. An instrumental version of the song is available in these formats as well.

For guitarists, there's a Player Pack that has a transcription of the entire lead guitar track as a PDF file ? musical notation, TAB, fingers, picking, and helpful hints. Included with the transcription is a Backing Track mix and a Boosted Lead Guitar mix, in both WAV and MP3 formats.

The Producer Pack contains 48kHz/24-bit Stereo WAV files of the mix "stems" ? there's a file of drums, bass, guitar, strings, lead vocals and backing vocals that you can load into your multi-track software and play with levels, make your own mixes, and hear every nuance of each instrument's performance on its own track.

BBF just blows my freaking mind - I don't think I could place any musician before him in terms of being intelligent, articulate, and just plain talented. By no means do I have a man-crush on BBF...but I do think he should run for president (as long as it doesn't interfere with GnR duty).  :hihi:

This is a very serious subject matter, and I agree with what Ron talks about in the interview.

I think the reason why Ron is so cool, is simply because he has no ego at all, and at the same time he enjoys pro-actively helping people. Whether it's a fundraising show, a guest spot or just general things like giving a percentage of his own personal sales to a charitable organization.

Ron is a diamond.  :love:
