@@christopher-miles nine!? There is no way you are serious lol, he has two signature LP which are almost the same just different versions, the live and studio version. He had custom guitars from other manufacturers as well like jackson. And his LP guitars cost fortune because they don’t make them anymore.
Dude kills it, whether it's fast paced note mania, or slow captivating pieces, he's just built different. My biggest guitar inspiration and reason I ever picked it up. He has something for every situation or emotional state I've ever been in. And it's the fact that he's so good, and creates SO much that it just makes him a cut above the rest in my eyes.
I've been lucky enough to see him 3 times. He is really unbelievable live. Its like watching something that you know is impossible but its happening right in front of your eyes. I feel sorry for people that don't give his music a chance
He's amazing! I saw him play with Les Claypool on the bucket of Bernie Brains tour. Only time I've ever seen anyone actually kinda steal the show from Les himself.
my favorite live version of this tune. check out that stretch at 2:25 and my favorite lick is at 2:35 and its amazing going on afterwards. you are scratching the surface of BH melodic slow masterpieces...
I’m sitting here just hoping shred dives DEEP into more buckethead…. Love you buddy ❤️ there is a whole universe he’s created with his music, it’s almost unimaginable.
This is great lesson. Explaining chords, melody simple, the B minor add 9 stretch perfect. Minor add 9 chords are good. I discovered bucket in 2001 this song introduced me. Exactly what I wanted to hear, at that time. Before buckethead, was shrapnel guitarist, old school metal and hendrix.. For me, Buckethead is most peaceful guitarist in world. (I know of) Also ichika quiet, reserved. Both have incredible surprise attack. Powerful and psychological.
How im only discovering this channel now is beyond me but man, this was so incredibly informative but also fairly humorous. Kudos man. Got yourself a new sub.
Saw Buckethead several years ago in a small venue. To say my mind was blown (even though i was already a huge fan) would be an understatement. He knows how to play to his fans and he's such a nice dude. He's also incredible on guitar whether it is fast or slow, doesn't matter, he knows how to get his guitar to sing.
Still wishing Buckethead and Maynard would do something together. To be honest, I ignored bucket for years, laughing him off....then I actually listened to him. Now he's 90% of what I listen to. You name a genre, he does it, and does it better than everyone else. Love bucket👍
right on, Buckethead and Maynard would be epic... but honestly I'd love to see Buckethead with literally any other group of professional musicians that are actually functional. Buckethead and Dave Grohl on drums would be a pretty ridiculous combo, insert you're favorite bassist and off we go.
@@michaelw6277 Buckethead has worked with some killer guys, his best friend Brain is his go to drummer and they have insane chemistry, and he’s also played with Les Claypool who is the pinnacle of Bass playing
He's played with a whole hell of a lot of motherfuckers already and most people would be surprised the vast quantity of musicians he's collaborated with already..
I’m so glad he worked with guns n roses, as I probably wouldn’t have checked him out. I use to buy guitar magazines back in the day and they never covered him and only seen his name mentioned a few times…
Shit I heard of him in the early 90s exclusively through guitar magazines and feel like he was mentioned quite a bit along with Adrian Belew and others who emerged in that period of time
I loved this video, please could you go over Joe Satrianis "blues on a tv show" that got really big on UA-cam it's such great playing over such a classic simple chord progression and playing style
Buckethead created this album Colma when his mother was sick from colon cancer. He wanted his mother to enjoy listening the songs while recovering. Now... go back and listen Whitewash and the rest of the album.
Listen to the other albums he made for them too, pike 13, 43 and 78 are his untitled pikes, 13 has a picture of him and his dad as the cover. Final bend of the labyrinth, heaven is your home, and hold me forever, all have some incredibly emotional music on them.
Just gonna throw it out there but Im pretty sure his fastest shred he did was on his track jump man even though its the opposite of what this vids about but this is for if your curious on what his fastest is like
Help please...When you say he's using A mixolyd, G lydian, etc... how so though? I get relative major/minor and modes from the scales but I don't understand what you mean by he's using a mode. Isn't he arpeggiating M, m add9 chords all from Bm...
So if you understand relative major and minor that's a good start.. so that being said one can look at things in two ways major keys and minor keys but essentially the relative minor to a major and vice versa is technically the same thing... they use the same exact notes right? The only difference the relative major or minor have is the root... for example if you're in the key of G major and it's relative minor is E minor your root note is going to be G and you're going to put your emphasis on the Note G kind of like a home base every Melody, riff lick or phrase is going to use the note G as the root or emphasis... G is the home base for the key of G major when in the key of G major and the G Major scale is spelled: G A B C D E and F# so as long as you play phrases and licks melodies or whatever using these seven notes and make your emphasis or home base the note G, then whatever you play will sound great when you're in the key of G major now the relative minor to G major E minor is spelled exactly like key of G major however it's emphasis/home base or root note is going to be the note E... it uses the exact same notes as the key of G only instead of starting on G it starts on E.. so modes or just an extension of that so if you want to try any of the modes of the key of G just start on whichever mode you want to play and make sure you use the exact same notes that the keys E minor and G major use but make your home base or emphasis/ root note whichever mode you are trying to play this might be confusing so I compare emphasis on different words when speaking a sentence. Example:"HOW are you doing today?" Now put the emphasis on a different word using the same exact words and the same exact sentence and you'll get a different effect and a whole different meaning and context while still using the same words and same exact sentence: "How are YOU doing today?" Or "How are you DOING today?" Or "How are you doing TODAY?" All of those are the same exact sentence using the same exact words but every time I move the emphasis to a different word it can mean a whole different meaning and have a tremendously different effect when using different emphasis yet it's the same exact words in the same exact sentence.. modes are like the emphasis word it can change dramatically the meaning of what you are saying without changing any words from the sentence you are saying and if you add different tones on top of that you have so many different meanings and feelings that can be interpreted from the same exact sentence with the same words spoken in the same order yet vastly different and almost an infinite amount of meanings and feelings can come about using the same words and the same sentence. That's exactly what you do with modes I don't know if that makes sense right now but one day it will I promise just don't ever give up on trying to understand the language of music it can be overwhelming and confusing at first but you have to surround yourself by people who can speak it fluently and consistently speak music everyday just as you spoke your first language everyday until you could speak it fluently you surround yourself with it and you try little by little each day to speak it even if it's just trying one word sounding Out one part of one word and that's all you do for one day all that matters is that you have consistent practice and surround yourself with people who speak the language fluently and encourage you to speak instead of belittling you for saying a word wrong they laugh and say the word incorrectly the way you did just so you can learn to speak imagine if the people who raised you yelled at you and beat you for saying a word wrong you would never want to try to speak again. Music is a language and as soon as you start treating it like one and knowing that it is one you'll start to see progress and start understanding how to speak music fluently. I hope this helps
This guy has very good videos, but I am never sure if he's serious or if he's just speaking satire. He's got kind of a falsely serious thing going on that I don't understand. But he also has a lot of great information as well.
This is what I always say, he’s the only shredder I know that makes TONS of slow songs. He can be the fastest and the slowest if he wants You could show a huge number of Buckethead songs to someone and they would never guess he’s known as a shredder, they would think he’s a chill ambient artist.
Thumbs up!! But i disagree sorry he's one of the top 10 best guitarist in the world is definitely not slow been playing for years and still can't play soothsayer.
@@bautistagarais488 sure, but in that case the Buckethead performance featured in this video is also not "shred." I believe the spirit of this video is that slow guitar solos are amazing and beautiful in their own right
@@michaelw6277 imo shred is refering to a shredder that can play slow and shines at it .. that's not the case for gilmour (I love his playing tho) since he always plays slow
@@bautistagarais488 also consider that in the late '60's and early '70's, "shredding" was a whole lot slower than it is today. By modern standards, sure... but in his era he may as well have been.
Honestly I find bucketheads solo work to be just noise. It’s a whole bunch of really talented skilful stuff jammed together and it just sounds incoherent and bad. In contrast his work in guns n roses is immaculate. He delivered melodic, soulful original solos in “there was a time” and great little shred solos in “Chinese democracy” and “better” and “shacklers revenge” so yeah he’s definitely incredibly talented. But I find his work is to much to soon to often just because. This song is amazing though.
Idk if your interested but he has a song called mirrors of the sleeping mind and another entitled Viva Voltron LIVE. Particularly the last one. Check out those if you feel like it. They're good if you think this one was

Bucketheads slow songs make me cry every time. The space between his notes is more pleasing than any other sound around. Never rush a masterpiece.
Padmasana and ghost are masterpieces

Buckethead doesn’t get 1/2 the recognition he deserves. Blew my mind first time I seen him play
Buckethead is the greatest electric guitarist ever
Totally agree
I'd go so far to say as most accomplished musician ever.
Please stop. You're just funny. He's a fuckin nut and a whatever player. Idc he just is a robot another one of those.
That’s fair man

Both Buckethead and Shawn Lane could absolutely kill it.. But their subtleties are what make them untouchable. Melodic Masters.
My two favorite players and my biggest inspirations
Guthrie Govan in that mix to make it a trio would be an amazimg collaboration
@@88_TROUBLE_88 Yep Guthrie is my 3rd favorite player
Buckethead has to stretch his material because he has so much and has to be different.
Damn u got my favourite track of Bucket thanks a lot man 💪
Yeah more Buckethead, he is the greatest all around guitarist ever in my humble opinion!!
Same.. Him and Guthrie Govan are just masterful in every single approach to the instrument and music in general, really
Epic! Shred, please do the same for "Machete" if you have time. Especially the ending solo!
Or Inferno
Feels like he’s gonna start playing Marshall Mather’s
This sounds like some older Eric Slowhand Clapton... more emotion and feeling than straight shredding. Awesome.
What example in particular of Eric Clapton songs would you cite to illustrate your point?
@@88_TROUBLE_88 This does not sound like Eric Clapton
I came here ready to throw hands, But left subscribed to shred. Buckethead is the best!
I loved this video, please could you go over Joe Satrianis "blues on a tv show" that got really big on UA-cam it's such great playing over such a classic simple chord progression and playing style
Yea my Girlfriend said that I'm to fast too. Thanks that you remind me of that Shred!
7:17 (B)-lunt honesty, I love it. This made me chucks.
Steve Vai IS the slowest shredder, but he plays so tasty every single note. Playing slow is really cool by the way ❤
Where is the burp sharp on the fingerboard?
Technique is what draws me to Big B.
Damn I love Buckethead
Love u buckethead u da goat
He made this album for his mom who was dying
He is one of the fastest ever
Comment 4 more Bucket!
Hey Shred Can u do a video about welcome toi Bucketheadland maybe ?
I have trouble taking masked musicians seriously, but this has more structure than 40 years of Kiss music
