9.11 by Bumblefoot
Half-vocal / half-instrumental album featuring the fretless guitar. Guest appearances by guitarists Mattias Eklundh and Dweezil Zappa.
Originally, this CD was going to be called "Guitars SUCK". But as the tragedies of September 11th 2001 happened toward completion of the album, it was changed to a fundraising album for disaster relief and re-titled as "9.11", with 100% proceeds of the CD donated to the Red Cross.
