Ron Thal - The influential fretless guitarist
who fronts "Bumblefoot". His site is excellent and worth visiting just to oogle the bumblefoot
guitar. (Make sure your PC sound is turned on.)
Ron's style ranges across nu-metal, shredding, and even bangs against the borders of rap.
If you need a little sideways humour, listen to "Ray Gun" an update on "Machine Gun".
Ron kindly gave us this interview / fireside chat.
Ed DeGenaro - Ed does extensive
fretless work and also endorses Vigier Guitars. Ed also works as an engineer,
counting Elliot Sharp's last release, Secular Steel, as one recent project.
When asked, Ed reckoned his top three favourite guitars would be; Fretless - Vigier Surfretter,
Strat - Suhr Classic, and best all purpose - Eggle Single chambered.
He is currenltly working on his new CD, Gods And Monstas.
Meanwhile check out his Acoustic mini CD "Nylon 'n' Steel, plus "Live at the Knitting Factory"
