Buckethead is more of a experimental metal/ funk player. Buckethead has very distinct, unique style and has an incredible body of work of over 200 albums.I think people are drawn to his music because it is passionate , emotional, quirky and entertaining. Govan is a jazz fusion style player with an eclectic style. His flawless technique and fingerboard acrobatics are only rivaled by Ron Bumblefoot. Going to see him live is like going to a guitar seminar, he is that good.

Guthrie had me at 23 seconds with that hilarious little arpeggio. I just love his sense of humour and the joy in his playing. Buckethead is very good, but I agree with many others, Guthrie is on another level.

Thumbs up only because of Guthrie. He appears to be a human being with emotions, shadowed in his riffs, whereas Buckethead is only interested in bpm or confusing sound distractions. Thanks for the upload.

When you get to the level of virtuosity that musicians like Buckethead, Guthrie, Shawn Lane, Holdsworth and the like posses, the question of who is better becomes puerile & irrelevant. The only relevant question is who's playing do you prefer do to your own personal taste. Any opinions claiming superiority for one or the other, are coming from uninformed fan boys that can't tell the difference between their own opinions and objective fact. So, when you type "Guthrie shits on buckethead" or "BH murders Govan" you're truly just saying "I'm an ignorant, obstinate dipshit."

Second thing is, no matter the century or the era, the style Guthrie plays will not be as popular as Hendrix. His music is exclusively instrumental, a lot of jazz fusion influences (which is not the most mainstream genre, even amongst the guitar world)etc. Ask a random people in the street who's the best guitar player, you'll have 90% chance to get Slash or other rock band guitarist.

Both are the best in their own styles and techniques, i love both of them and if you ever listened to Buckethead songs you will know how beautiful they are thats pretty mental and for Govan its clearly enough that he got skills styles and techniques maybe better than buckethead but he can't create an unique sounds like buckethead does.

well, i always try to be as open minded as possible in music, i check every goddamn genre in existence to find stuff i like, even hip hop and pop, but not too much, gotta say, buckethead has made me cry several times with his music, guthrie - never, so my vote goes to bucket for his creativity, yes, guthrie is one hell of a player and has very tasty licks and playing style, but thats not all... you need something else, bucket MIGHT be less technical, but has that something else.

Comparing is never good, especially if the musical styles are very diverse. Guthrie Govan played (years ago)in a small venue near Utrecht (Netherlands) at the invitation of Suhr guitars and Haar guitars. I bought my suhr guitar that same night Guthrie was playing on. When you see this man play live, you will see in what precision he plays. He is also a very nice person.

Buckethead is insanely talented and so is Guthrie.

It is hard to compare musicians at this level… I think what people really mean is who do you like better? I prefer Guthrie’s musicality… And generally speaking he can do everything I have ever seen anyone else do plus all of the stuff he does that I have never seen anyone else do. Both artists are amazing because they are pushing the boundaries and limitations of the medium for their expression.

Both insanely talented guitarists versed in many styles and techniques but ill go for Guthrie just because he is English 😊

Both of them are crazy

That is just bucket fucking around, it doesn't do him any justice at all. He may very well be one of the most well rounded guitar players ever. Anything from jazz, funk, experimental, progressive to ambient, hard rock and metal. You can see that on his over 200 studio albums, if you know what to listen to, he has some of the best music ever created to fit into almost any taste. His emotional and slow stuff from albums like Colma and Electric Tears are just very unique and beautiful. Has anyone ever heard a sadder song than Electric Tears? Have you seen his legendary live version of Whitewash? That solo wasn't even on the studio version, it looks like he improvised all of that on the spot. Not putting down Guthrie at all, he is one of my all time favourites as well, but "Wonderful slippery thing" is one of his best songs, so a great representation of him. But i can't say the same about Buckethead's performance here, it seems biased.

Comparing these two beasts is an abomination.

buckethead is my favorite guitarist of all time. he is from another planet skill wise and his writing ability is truly amazing but if we are talking BH vs GG just on playing ability, then i have to say Govan. i dont think anyone can touch him....but ill take Buckethead anyday of the week over any guitarist as far as music is concerned

There's people that claim the opposite. Weird. Maybe they're both so good, no one has the full grasp of either of them.

@@limitisillusion7 I definitely agree with you on that point. I think once any guitarist reaches a skill level above a certain point then it all boils down to the listeners taste in guitar playing and which player they prefer. With a comparison like Bucket/Guthrie it's difficult to say one is better than the other. They have both mastered the guitar and can play anything they want at any time. It's just 2 different flavors of playing, both being equally mind blowing. Bucket is theoretical astrophysics and Guthrie is quantum physics.

A few people here are clued in. Buckethead has his style, set very narrowly, Guthrie is the master of all guitarists atm because he can play proficiently every style and has amazing improvisation skills. Another poster said it, he has that 3 note per string Gilbert style licks, his trademark tap sequence and his kill switch antics. Outside of that, it's nothing too special. GG is just not even comparable, his musical knowledge is far beyond.

He has over 250 studio albums and they're each their own universe, how is his style set very narrowly? What you've seen here is just him messing around in between songs, which he does in every show he plays

Is there a video of this dude without his mask?

This video alone: Buckethead is a masterful guitar player and entertainer. Guthrie is a masterful *musician* who can express himself through guitar more perfectly than anyone else.

You can't compare musicality at all! They both bring something unique to the table. But from a purely technical standpoint GG is light-years ahead. Think about the fact that Buckethead took lessons from Shawn Lane himself and still, GG can morph into whatever style he wants and leave Buckethead in the dust, and he's got a pretty unique voice on the instrument himself. Mad respect for both, but GG takes the grand prize!

Buckethead had lessons from both Gilbert AND Shawn Lane??? Wtff

From my subjective point of view, the difference seems to be that Guthrie Govan is going for a concept that is much more mature and more contemporary, much more systematized.

The Woody Woodpecker impression was the best part of the video that Bucket head piece was just a noise...

Yes. Because we all judge great players just from 2 min clip on KZread made with a bias towards Guthrie right? I'm was a big fan of Guthrie. But all it took was one song from Buckethead to change my life. The next day i had a cheap guitar in my hands. This is something which Guthrie couldn't do to me. If you are interested in BH, i can recommend some albums. Cheers

Guthrie govan is musically Superior.

Buckethead is actually Guthrie's alter ego... all he needs is a wigged mask and a bucket then a whole other side comes outta Guthrie Govan.

Buckethead is amazing and all but he can’t hold Guthrie’s jock

Anyone have the tabs for this?

i apreciated both pixels

@0:04 nice

This guy is really out there, isn't he?

What are they doing comparing that masked man with the holy Govan? Govan's phrasing is special, he doesn't play anything meaningless and it doesn't sound monotonous. The masked man only plays fast

I enjoyed Coneheads bleeps n bloops. didnt think i would.
