Re: anyone listen to buckethead?
 

i came accross him yesterday, didnt like what i heard really. only saw him play two songs tho. but yeah whats with the mask and kfc bucket :1

Re: anyone listen to buckethead?
 

He's a decent guitar player, def. not on the level of Steve Vai or Joe Satriani though. I'd say Joe's probably one of the best I've ever heard play, especially since he taught Steve Vai.
All in all it seems like the same standard drop-c tuning that I like to play in, as does most big metal bands out there. I'm sure with the notes in front of me and a week's time I could probably learn that.

not that impressed i only watched half that video and it was slow.

yes i know its alternate tuning but its still hard to keep the rythem and play like that. he has some other badass songs too. one of my guitars have been tuned to this for the last couple weeks.

Re: anyone listen to buckethead?

Re: anyone listen to buckethead?
 

He is nuts.

End.

Idk wtf he takes but it just gives him this absolutely insane style of play.
