Buckethead is the only musician I have paid to see three times, and I think he is The G.O.A.T! Greatest of all time! The last time I saw him I got to the front and stayed there. I got to play his cut-out switch, and I got a present. Yeah, he hands out presents to the people in attendance. The coolest of the cool. and the greatest of the great! Sometimes I felt like he was looking right at me and wondering why is this old geezer jumping up and down and yelling, "You are the best ever."

He's Phenomenal. It's just that his music is so, so.........clean. And the artwork shown on KZread for his videos is pretty wild, too. I don't like the art to "influence" my feeling of the music, though. So, finally if I had to pick one that sticks in my mind every time, it is The Sea Remembers Its Own, then Rivers in The Seas. I've even put some lyrics in herea and there on his music. 🙂

I've seen B probably 10 times and they are legitimately the loudest concerts I've ever been to.

Fun Fact: Buckethead is 6'8" tall, and he's not actually wearing a mask. His parents set him in the backyard to be raised by the chickens because his face was so horrific to look upon. He wears the Buckethelm as a symbol of his imminent revenge.

One of the few reactions to this I've seen from a real guitarist that picks up what he's doing and also plays with it. Gonna sub and check out your other videos. Love your vibe and your character, you've got great cadence in your voice that makes listening very enjoyable and you're clearly knowledgeable as a guitarist, which as a fellow guitarist, I can appreciate. ''How he gets there, who knows?'' is a good summary lol.

His song, (I love my parents) makes me cry every time I listen to it. I love my parents too.

Buckethead - we don’t know his face, but we know his soul. Amazing human.

so stoked you’re reviewing him finally, my getting my first electric guitar as a gift at 15 was inspired by a love for his music, i’ve seen him live twice and it’s different every time but always chilling. Watching The Boats With My Dad will bring you to tears

I've sent alot of phenomenal bands in my 46 years on the planet and I'm not saying this lightly the most baddest ass solo I've ever heard live in person was by this man Buckethead with Primus at ozzfest 99 the version on KZread has nothing on what he actually played live that day

It would be cool to understand how Buckethead played "Big Sur Moon" and to figure out the timing he did with a Digital Delay pedal in sixteenth-notes I believe....? That's how I imagined Bucketheads style of playing.

What's hilarious to me is that you are absolutely clearly an excellent and professional guitar player and likely a great teacher.. But then seeing you watch Buckethead with your mouth agape just kills me. He's on such a different planet.

Paul Gilbert was his teacher. If you watch Pauls stuff, then watch Buckets, you'll see many similarities. Bucket just puts his own twist and style onto it. Both were (and still are) huge idols of mine back in the day when I played and it still amazes me when I hear them play!

Check out that stretch he does during Seige Engine. It is just nuts. 27" scale and he goes to work. He just put out a ridiculous amount of music in the last year. He is playing with a band soon again. He is also Death Cube K. Pikes are well into the 300s now. Another thing that he should be praised for is low ticket prices. Small venues concert for like $35. Has played the biggest stages with GNR. Did a PBS special. Has let fans play his set on stage. Just a legend. Thanks for this break down. You are the first person to try explain at least a framework of the solo.

Buckethead has always been one of those players that is so technically out of this world on his instrument, that he’s like a post-virtuoso. I would stick Claypool with him in the tiny box. Like they don’t just master their instrument, they make it look like it’s nothing. Plus he looks really unsettling in the mask haha

Finally! Thank you. He does play with a band on tour but not always. Tour announced Aug 30/31 in NYC with Praxis. Also he never plays any song the same live. check out his live unknown title song. Also was a student of Paul Gilbert.

Pleasure to watch that man 👌🏻 Thanks

My god.... how easily you break this down and get close to what he is playing so quickly makes me want to stick my hands in tree chipper so I never try to play again..... You have such talent

The song Machete by Buckethead on the Colma album is a personal favourite of mine love the solo outro

Cool video. Thanks for explaining. You are a very talented guitarist yourself. I just ran into this song by Buckethead and I can't stop listening to it. I never have played but I think I might take some lessons. It would be fun to learn. I don't kid myself about how good the playing is.🎸 Amazing.

Great video, thanks for analyzing him.

Dude can expertly swing a Nunchaku in one hand; while out-shredding every metal guitarist with the other. Your favorite guitarist's, guitarist.

the BEST ! ! ! His pinky finger strength has to be one of the strongest i have seen just for the bends them selves. He has huge fingers. That's why i always wondered why he preferred Gibson short scale? His left hand is more classical vertical style than angled like most rockers to fit all 4 fingers in between the shortened Gibson fret spacing. How does he keep his G string from going out? What i also see is this is one of his freedom simple key changes meaning he has a thousand places to go if he felt the urge. And yes the right hand is the signature of any master guitarist. That's why I tell my casual friend lessons of playing piano, or better yet congas, or bongos. To play the in-between rock beats. Syncopation comes in handy to shake up soloing. Also soloing like a sax player. Rhythm comping on the 1 and 3 with two or triple stops like a piano player. Soloing with a monotone (few notes with a scattered yet vocal placement) like playing on guitar the notes of your mom calling you all in for dinner. ie John Lee Hooker. Glad to hear your hybrid picking immersion! That is so amazing. I love the 132, or 64th note fluries. Buckethead shreds ! ! ! And his mellow pikes are gold.

I’ve heard it is a baritone sized guitar , a normal size guitar would look like a guitar hero one in his hands !

oh shoot it is a baritone. I wonder if he uses 9's? Here's Gibson signature model verbiage: "The Buckethead Signature Les Paul looks like a somewhat modified Alpine White Les Paul. However, Gibson designed the Buckethead Signature Les Paul's body and neck to accommodate Buckethead's size and playing style by building them to an over sized scale. Unlike the typical 24 3/4" scale, the Buckethead Signature Les Paul's neck is a massive 27".

This was the first Buckethead video I saw and it made me an instant fan, which is pretty rare for me because I mostly am focused on my own music these days. One of a kind artist.

There is a a guitarist with PRS made just for her . Her name is Kanami aka Mincho the band is Band Maid. The song Onset is her play ground.

I have prayed to watch you react and breakdown some BUCKETHEAD and specifically this song. Ohhhh what an amazing Saturday this has become. THANK YOU !!!!!!

I've always been hooked on Buckethead ever since hearing Jordan back on Guitar Hero 2 15 years ago. Hard to keep up with everything he releases but there's no one like him. Couple of my favorites are The Redeem Team, Siege Engine, Fourneau Cosmique, and hell some full albums like Pike 51 and Colma

Props to you for even attempting this, good sir & well done. Buckethead is just something else to me.

It's really awesome watching you breakdown buckethead. Really interesting to see and understand. Thank you

I watched A LOT of reaction videos for this song. None of them are as good as this one. Not even close! This is what a reaction video is supposed to be. GREAT JOB Michael 👏🏻

Buckethead is great. Soothsayers like his oldest hit. He does play with band when they can. I'd gone with sail on soothsayer,patrolman,cavernous or other incredible selections

That was insane! You treated the great one with respect and admiration, thanks for this!!

Great video... I've been following Buckethead since the '90's, and I've seen him live countless times, and every time he delivers! I got his autograph, a Scrabble game keychain, and a drum stick in Aspen, Colorado at Belly up back in the 2000's... he played with a band and rocked the place...🤘❤️🤘

Buckethead will become the greatest guitarist ever...... he's so good now nobody knows how to categorise him, he's so talented that he actually scares the musical world.

I read somewhere that he's so sick at the moment that he can't play the guitar. Heart issues or something serious :/
