'Bumblefoot...Returns!' features collaborations with iconic musicians, including Brian May, Steve Vai, Guthrie Govan, Derek Sherinian, and others, showcasing BUMBLEFOOT’s innovative guitar techniques, such as his signature fretless guitar and "thimble technique." “It’s been 30 years since releasing the debut 'Adventures of Bumblefoot' on Shrapnel Records, and I haven’t done a fully instrumental album since.

Writing during the pandemic, these songs became a soundtrack to my life–from heavy fretless growls to bluesy tributes to legends like Lonnie Johnson. It’s a reflection of the moments that shaped me.
