Although I didn’t mourn the departure of Bumblefoot from Guns N’ Roses (although I’ve seen the band twice in the last decade and they put on a pretty formidable show), I’ve been chomping at the bits to see what’s next for the strange virtuoso.
We’ll have to see what he gets up to, but for now, he recently shot some pretty hilarious guitar lessons at the Total Guitar studios, in which he demonstrates a variety of techniques and practice routines, including some interesting arpeggiation, “thimble tapping,” and scalular thinking. Both lessons are done on a strange double-neck guitar, whose top neck is actually fretless (not quite sure the need for that in Guns N’ Roses, but I guess ridiculous is the name of the game for that band).
Check out the lessons below:
