Since the early 90's Ron has released over 200 songs through solo CDs and DVDs, and digital releases. He's had numerous appearances on compilation CDs and as a guest performer for other artists, appeared on magazine covers, and as a soloist toured internationally headlining venues and guitar festivals. In 2008 Ron released the "Abnormal" album, described as "Sex Pistols meets Queen, with innovative guitar and a quirky Zappa-esque twist..." In 2011 he released a song a month that included transcriptions, alternate mixes and recording stems, as an innovative way to release singles.
As a child, Ron would play Bach pieces with his feet. Today, his guitar-work can be heard on Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy album, the theme of VH1's "That Metal Show", the Latin acoustic guitar on Jessica Simpson's "Irresistible" dance mix, and CNN-Turkey station IDs to name a few. Live, he's just as diverse, whether touring the world with GNR or at local fundraisers (notably performing with Nancy Sinatra, Cyndi Lauper, composer Fahir Atakoglu, and jazz legend Allen Toussaint.)
A record producer and songwriter for artists and publishing companies often working out of his own studio in Princeton NJ, Ron has written theme songs and background music for shows that include So You Think You Can Dance, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brokaw, Anthony Bourdan, MTV, VH1, MuchMusic, FuseTV, CW, SpikeTV, Oxygen, E!, A&E, ESPN, UFC, WWE, NFL, MLB, NBC, PBS, and SEGA, SSI and Atari videogames.
Ron is a Professor at SUNY Purchase College teaching music production, does guitar clinics around the world, and writes articles for music magazines. He is a volunteer for many charities such as Musicians On Call visiting sick children in hospitals and the MS Research Foundation, a non-profit organization that donates funds directly to Multiple Sclerosis research.

Bumblefoot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's more to you than I can be
There's something, that something
That makes me feel like I'm more
There's more than life inside your heart
There's more than music in your song
There's something, that something
Than I am when I'm with you
A better man when I'm with you
I love who I am when I'm with you
But I love you more than you could ever know
So much more than I could ever show
How much higher we can make it go
There's so much God behind your eyes
They save me and lift me so high
There's something, that something
That makes me feel like I'm more
Than I am when I'm with you
A better man when I'm with you
I love who I am when I'm with you
But I love you more than you could ever know
So much more than I could ever show
How much higher we can make it go
The song "More" by Bumblefoot is an ode to the person that the artist admires. From the beginning of the song, Bumblefoot acknowledges that there's more to the person than what meets the eye. They possess an intangible quality that makes him feel like he's more than himself. The lyrics suggest that this person is special, and they bring out the best in him. When he's with them, he feels like a better man who's capable of achieving greatness.
The second verse confirms that this person's heart is filled with more than just the ordinary experiences of life. There's something deeply profound and meaningful about this person's soul, which comes out in their music too. Bumblefoot's admiration for this person transcends the physical realm, and he's convinced that there's a spiritual element present in this person. He claims that looking into their eyes is a religious experience and that being around them lifts him up emotionally and spiritually.
In conclusion, the song is about being inspired by someone's inner qualities and how that inspiration can make us better versions of ourselves. The lyrics capture the essence of the magnetic attraction and admiration that one person can have for another person. The song celebrates the idea of finding that special someone who can bring out the best in us and make us feel like we're capable of achieving great things.

During a performance about 2 months ago, he stuck a gift behind his guitar and when he did a scene trick which consisted in plying in a strange way with him on stage and guitar on the crowd, a fan took the gift which was this album, so he's indeed a gifted guitar plyer ^^
