Guns N' Roses' Bumblefoot Offering One-On-One Skype Guitar Lessons

Guns N' Roses guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal is now offering private lessons via Skype. He says, "One-on-one lessons, any age is welcome, any skill level is welcome — if it's your first time picking up a guitar, that's OK. Smile

Lessons are about what you need, what you want, it's different for everyone.

"Start by writing to me... Tell me about yourself — where you're from, how long you've been playing, the kind of music you like, if you've played with a band or just in the bedroom, what your strengths are, what you want to get better at, what you want to learn specifically. Things like that.

"Lessons are $1.50/minute, choose however long you'd like to go. We'll set up a day and time, I'll send you a confirmation email, PayPal me and we'll get crackin'..."

Thal earlier in the week released the third in a series of digital singles, an original song called "Invisible". 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, second guitar, 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.

I've been teaching guitar, bass, vocals, music theory, engineering, producing, and band performance classes, since age 13 - always loved to learn and to share what I've learned. My own studies began at age 7 taking one-on-one lessons studying jazz, classical, music theory... it's a pleasure to now be sharing what I've learned along the way with you all.
