Sadly they don't serve chicken at Bucketheadland
Anyway, I've probably seen every single buckethead video on youtube, most of them multiple times, so I thought I'd post a guide to some of the best so you can watch, enjoy, and possibly even learn something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86DEKFissl4 Buckethead's guitar lesson - the only thing this teaches you is humility, as he doesn't play anything slow or explain what he's actually doing. Watch out for the sweep tapping at the end! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGt4J9oBKKo Night of the slunk, cool song with a riff that sounds a bit like jordan, sick solo coming at 3:34 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYkh7ZiQmso Whitewash, ballad-ish song from the album Colma, very calm and soothing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9aY2CLrGx4 A new song that hasn't appeared on any album, still pretty damn awesome with some great riffs and soloing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWDY3rD71Ic Welcome to bucketheadland, sweet song with a main riff that's a definite homage to Randy Rhoads, he does an awesome improvised solo after the regular solo in this version (3:30 and on). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4q3p_o8A6g Buckethead in the beginning! He had just become Buckethead and is around age 21 in this clip, playing a bit for his family in his back yard. His technique isn't as flawless as it is now, but damn he could shred back then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61k041I4aEo A 100% Improvised solo from the song 'The Interworld and The New Innocence'. Very melodic and soulful playing, with his drummer (Brain) showing off in the background. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moqy4G74afc Soothsayer! A really really good song that starts off slow and builds up into an awesome awesome solo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KtR-UAp614 Buckethead covering B.B King's 'The thrill is gone' at a private party, the bass screws with the microphone a bit unfortunately but this really shows he can do more than shred. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk7plGs3RP0 Most of you probably have seen this one, it's Buckethead's Nightrain solo with Guns n' Roses, if you like Slash you probably won't like this one. He does this way better than Slash in my opinion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlN1ae4lxDc Knocking on heaven's door with GNR, Solo from 3:13 and behind Axls vocals after that. Definitely the best version of this solo I've ever heard, Buckethead really makes the song here. Even though he's nowhere in sight for the entire video it's quite obvious that it's him playing. Well, I've left some good ones out but that should be enough to start you off, I wouldn't check all these at once but take a couple every day or so and let them sink in. Enjoy! |

Does anyone else think, that Buckethead would be great working with Rob Zombie?

I don't think his pedals are a big part of his tone, He's got a Les Paul 1959 Custom with DiMarzio pickups and a Mesa Boogie triple rectifier (sometimes two he runs in stereo), his effects are mostly just a Cry Baby wah, and occasionally a whammy pedal. He probably has stuff like a compressor and a noise gate too, and a touch of delay (or a lot if he's playing big sur moon). Wikipedia on Buckethead's equipment (slightly edited for formatting) Gibson Les Paul - 1959 heavily modified, with all white hardware and covered DiMarzio pickups Gibson Les Paul - 1969 heavily modified, all white hardware, killswitch, and uncovered DiMarzio pickups Gibson SG Gibson SST Gibson Chet Atkins Jackson Y2KV - "coopwood" custom made, with larger body and headstock Jackson Y2KV - "KFC" same as the "coopwood", only with the KFC red stripes, Di Marzio X2N PUs, kill switch and an Original Floyd Rose (that he never uses) Jackson doubleneck - a custom doubleneck half guitar, half bass ESP MII custom - used throughout his concert in the Wetlands, broken as seen in one of the Binge Clips Steinberger GS "Kaiser's Gift" Ibanez X Series Rocket Roller II - used throughout the Praxis era Takamine Acoustic Amplifiers Peavey Renown Peavey 5150 head on a Marshall 1960 Slant 4x12 cab Diezel Herbert Mesa Boogie Triple rectifier VHT Pittbull 50 watt heads Matt Wells 17 1/2 watt head wired through a Harry Kolbe 4x12 cab Effects Digitech Whammy II (and IV) Dunlop Cry Baby BOSS TU-2 Chromatic Tuner BOSS NS-2 Noise Suppressor BOSS RC-20 Loop Station Roger Mayer Octavia DOD Electronics FX-25B envelope filter Alesis MidiVerb II Roland SE-50 multi-effector Rocktron Intellifex multi-effects a custom bicompROSSor by AnalogMan MXR EVH phase 90 Line 6 FM4 Filter Modeler Electro-Harmonix Micro Synthesizer Sadly they don't serve chicken at Bucketheadland Anyway, I've probably seen every single buckethead video on youtube, most of them multiple times, so I thought I'd post a guide to some of the best so you can watch, enjoy, and possibly even learn something. By the way, thanks for this. I've seen most of these but there's some new ones to me too.
