Young? Do you realize he is only 3 years older than him

I went to a clinic of Paul's about 10 yrs ago. Hell, it could've been 15 yrs ago, honestly. It was at a Guitar Center here in Kansas City. I had actually been a Buckethead fan long before I'd ever even heard the name Paul Gilbert, which makes sense based on my age (38). But, I had just found out shortly before the clinic that he had taught Buckethead, and this was also before the name Brian Carrol was common knowledge, which got me thinking about who Buckethead was in RL... So, when he opened it up for Q&A, I raised my hand, and he called on me. He was shocked to hear that my question wasn't a question at all, but a statement. I looked him in the eye and said straight faced, "I think you ARE buckethead. Can you provide any evidence to the contrary?" After he laughed for a second, he responded,"Brian is a good 2 or 3 inches taller than I am. That, and his hands are significantly larger than my own." To which I then responded, "okay, I believe you. Thanks for the info." That's the whole story.

You can definitely hear Pauls influence in Bucketheads playing sometimes. This next comment has nothing to do with Paul, but whats interesting to me is that you can hear a distinct improvement in bucketheads improvisation over the last probably 10-15 years. You can really hear it if you listen to the Bucketheadland Live album. The Welcome to Bucketheadland solo is way better than the one from the original album

Here's the thing. How does someone wear that mask and the cardboard chicken bucket on the head and not have it fall off or the mask blocking your vision while looking at the fretboard, also the face sweating profusely from wearing the mask? Fun fact: Bucket Head supposedly auditioned for Ozzy at some point and Ozzy said, "What's up with the fu..ing bucket, man?!"

@djnone8137 that's a good way of looking at it. There's a video of Jason Newsted from Metallica talking about a session he did working on something with Bucket. He said Bucket was wearing a mask and a heavy coat sweating pretty bad while jamming in a private studio session. Jason said something to Bucket like "you know you don't have to wear the mask and jacket, it's only us in here" and Bucket told him "nah I like it like this. I want to feel like I'm going to war" Jason's gained a higher level of respect and appreciation for Bucket after that lol. Of course I have to add that I was recalling that story from memory so I was paraphrasing what Jason and Bucket said but the main points are correct. The video is easy to find here on KZread if you haven't seen it and want to check it out.

Pebber Brown is Buckethead's long term teacher. Paul was his childhood friend that showed him some scales and licks

His pre chicken days. To have Paul Gibert as a teacher. Damn.

Hearing Bucket talking about those visits to pauls apartment is great

Thanks for teaching the master you did great😎

I can't imagine living in a place where you could get lessons from Paul Gilbert, my local guy taught me "Tom Dooly" and "Twinkle Twinkle little star" from the Mel Bay book and played in a country cover band.... no one even talked about scales at any lessons it was like a different universe.

Bucket head used to scratch the ground with his fingers fast like a chicken all day as a toddler. He played music scratching the guitar scales fast to try and resurrect dead chickens.. he lived in s chicken Coup. He was a little bit eccentric

Buckethead rules the guitar !

Still waiting after all these years for these legends to do an album or at least a song together. One can hope ! 💪 🎸

Paul ia hard to discuss,but creativity and productivity of Big B is unmatchable. Buckethead can make you stunned and make you cry. I know like 5 Pauls songs. And not because i didnt want to. Im 44 and music was most of my life. Guitar player too.

If you can teach someone how to play a guitar in a half dozen lessons, you yourself are a rad guitarist. To anyone who's interested in learning to play, it really only takes about this must lessons and the rest is just practicing and you're on your way to ripping it up. Don't worry about the technical stuff, you will find your own sound and soul in no time.

When i was 15 i knew a guy named Rick. We'd sit in The Kettle restaurant in the back drinking coffee with 2 orhers and for some reason they had a 3x3 chalkboard. He'd spend 2+hrs teaching us music theory. He could play every type of music (the Chicken picken) was amazing but what really stands out is playing Yngwie at 2x speed. Dude stayed a music teacher in a little strip mall. Was just as good as Bucket Head, but we all make our choices.

Thanks Paul your the BEST!!!!!!

"He had a fast and useful twitch-in a good way." ? So Ironic. The teacher did not recognize buckethead's slow-hand. Now, Buckethead has made the most soulful and beautiful music. :) :) Thanks BH
