What a cool solo, first time i've heard Buckethead do a solo.

I'm not sure whats scarrier, the speed, or the apparent ease he seems to play it with.

Love the coutry bit :P

Well that's just scary, he's an amazing player. Just last week I listened to a few songs from his cds and the guy writes some very, cool, listenable stuff. I need to go to KFC now, get me a bucket. :)

The guy can play. The section beginning at around 1min 50 secs I recognise from his Colma cd (which is a mainly acoustic album!). He is a very tasteful player.

I love how he's got matching KFC stripes on his guitar as well.

I don't see how this solo spot is all that different from that solo spot of that guy from Myanmar posted a couple of weeks ago. Maybe it's little more melodic.

The Star Wars theme was pretty cool. Plenty of humor in his playing.

It was all going so good till he started tapping! Nice and melodic then its ruined!

Well I guess his tapping does sound kinda cool, sounds like a video game kinda! Useless in a band though :lol: ooh wait its gone quieter and slower.. much better than that other guy posted up a few weeks ago! Gotta love the starwars bit aswell :P I wish he'd take that stupid bucket/mask off, its almost as bad as slipknot!

the talking rubber mask REALLY starts to get on your tits around halfway in but the playing is so scary that its worth it - I really hate that guy, what a tw@t (heh).

Why yes, I have an Avatar of him.


3 Finger Tapping? Three? He's been known to tap with all 5 right hand fingers  :twisted:

I'll admit - on occasion, BH's playing is a bit self indulgent, but the true king of self indulgence is Michael Angelo Batio. What a tool  :wink: .

BH is a very VERY diverse and technically brilliant player. Listen to "too many humans", "hog bitch stomp", "nottingham lace", "i come in peace" and "big sur moon" if you have any doubts about buckethead  :)

His tapping is amazing, though i still think Michael Romeo from Symphony X is the best tapper in the world.
