good guitarist pretty off the wall, taught by paul gilbert hence the scary as hell technique.

Not a fan of his crazy funfair type music by his album electric tears is really mellow and unique.

I saw a reporter interview buckethead, and asked why he was afraid of girls, is it the "chick" > "chicken" connection?
I swear I saw him blush under that mask, lol.
He's a true genius.

Saw Buckethead last night at the Howlin' Wolf in New Orleans. What a great and Fun..Fun!!! show...!! People bringing all sort of gifts for Buckethead, the nunchacks, the whole robot playing thing....!!"That one guy "opens for him and does a great show..playing what looks like a set of pipes all midi conected, card tricks, the whole thing..funny guy!! Then Buckethead...Wow!!!Hahahaha!!! what a way to play the guitar, Hendrix, StarWars, Funk, Blues, Heavy...Hahaha! and about 1am till 1:30 am both share the stage. I am hanging my hammock right now under a couple of pine trees, a blue sky, and cool temp. with nobody around for miles( there is a price to pay for living in paradise..like long..looong drives )and some seasonal beer. Cheers!!!

This is my favourite buckethead tune:

I must admit that I don't like his shreddy stuff though.
I think I hate being indecisive.

You are living the life LULUSG! I lived in Georgia for 15 years and nothing was better than lying under the southern skies and enjoying the afternoon. I am envious! :D

In response to Buckethead, what he does can't be taught. He is a rare prodigy that plays the guitar in a manner that I can't comprehend. While his style is a bit too off the wall for me, I won't pretend to understand it anytime soon. :lol:
