Today’s guitar villain is Bumblefoot. The unmistakeable wall of sound behind the bands Asia, and Sons of Apollo, Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal is one of the most creative and staggeringly good guitar players you’ll find. With his trusty double neck Vigier, containing both a standard and fretless six string neck, Bumblefoot crafts riffs and licks that will make you wonder if what you’re hearing can actually come from human fingers. With an obsession for hot sauce and a powerful braided beard that would make even John Petrucci do a double take, you’re in for a real treat on this episode of Guitar Villains.Intro and Bumblefoot's supervillain alter-ego: 0:00Burning Questions: 9:30Name Those Notes: 12:20The best guitar teachers all do this: 33:00The power of the bebop scale: 37:00The melody is not for itself: 39:40The hardest and easiest thing about guitar: 41:13A fretless guitar mini-lesson: 44:15 The weirdest tour stories you’ll ever hear: 47:26The spooky tale of the haunted stage and ghostly guitar pick: 49:15Bumblefoot’s favorite airplane album: 52:48Bumblefoot’s dream band: 54:04Bumblefoot’s supervillain advice: 55:03Bumblefoot's WebsiteBumblefoot's Hot SaucesSign up for Guitar Super System, the most popular independent guitar learning platform on the internet: https://bit.ly/GVBF007
