Electric Tears - Buckethead Cover

[darkiller93]

Hey mate, beast cover, its perfect, flawless, has everything buckethead meant to add in it. Do you have tabs for this by any chance?? Keep it the good work! :)

[BrokenSporadic]

Hey dude how do you make the sounds from the beginning to :46 ?

[oddclown]

@BrokenSporadic tap the fret 12 above where your fingers are

[BrokenSporadic]

@oddclown how?? i do but it doesnt make a sound as close to that in the video

[BrokenSporadic]

@oddclown but my amp doesnt have reverb:P

[oddclown]

@BrokenSporadic just mess with your settings a little bit, and jack up the reverb

[cwilll]

this is amazing

[hsurchtaeD]

wow awesome

[DAHA1993]

you did a good job :)

[bjswagger99]

Very good playing and amazing song buckethead rocks

[memelasz]

[vladfargo]

[kornkidgxs]

this is the only video i came across that actually sounds like the song itself. well done sir. i admire your talent and keep it up. buckethead makes the most beautiful music ever.

[crisis610]

u know where to find accurate tabs for this song?

[Groscay]

Beautiful song, beautiful playing, beautiful guitar

[oddclown]

@Groscay thanks!

[Aclark1337]

Amazing cover man, just awesome. great job.

[Som1onu2be]

Sir, you are a damn well rounded guitar player. You've got what I want. Emotions. I have issues playing emotionally, and I envy you. I will practice even more now. But you've got some very well tuned skills.

[oddclown]

@Som1onu2be Wow you made my night, thanks man!

[Lanarchyste58]

What is this guitar ?

[oddclown]

@Lanarchyste58 Wood, wiring, & strings dude

[Lanarchyste58]

@oddclown

Thanks ;) 

[MrOscard47]

dude nice chorus effect sounds alot like the original version

[collin292]

@andy92811

I know, I realised right after I posted, the headstock threw me off....

It still gave me a hard-on.

[collin292]

Also, FUCKEN GREAT.

[collin292]

That PRS gave me a hard-on.

[titorider45]

Great cover bro!

[mitsos90]

woow greeat

[desertdemon1993]

What is ur setting for the amp?? great video btw

[Dagnus284]

What kind of guitar are you using there? It looks a lot like my Schecter Hollywood Classic except with EMG's

[AlexQFactor]

Cool man! Very cool!

[dannyrenteria]

best cover of electric tears ive seen man:)

[Gurut2009]

Are you using a Chorus effect? I can't tell for sure...

[oddclown]

@Gurut2009 yeah

[jackassguyman]

lool wtf what is that for technic?

[OGstains]

this is pretty cool, tab it :)

[XmodditE3]

Improved version? You did a good job, but don't think too highly of yourself, no cover is improved, only modified.

[oddclown]

@XmodditE3 as in an improved version of the previous cover i had of this song up..

[8x26x08]

@XmodditE3 I think he is using 'improvise' in the past tense. Improvised; Improved

[OXCerberusX0]

this is the kind of stuff i love to play.

[cosmokid88]

Your mom said you were talented and I can't believe how talented you are, You are amazing. WOW

[dmio2]

well played

[sup3a]

The reason why Slash fans says Buckethead sucks is they are st00pid (like ppl who hate boxxxy)

[nativebrother]

Awesome.

[grandasse81]

I like it ! What il the TAB for your left hand ?

[nativebrother]

Was an awesome cover, but just a little too fast for my taste right now. I don't know maybe if I want a different speed of the song in a bit I'll love this. But you do great just as always.

[blckshdwdood333]

That "Improved" better be a typo ;D I think you ment to say "Improvised"

[oddclown]

@blckshdwdood333 I previously had a cover of this up, this version replaced it; hence, "improved". An improvement of my own playing. =)

[LPSGRGES]

Standard tunning?

[oddclown]

e flat

[LPSGRGES]

Yeah, I've figured that out by now, but thanks anyways, :)

[tehnoobshow1115]

@HUUAH11one1eleven that is so true i was inspired to pick a guitar from buckethead's soothsayer. btw i love this cover man, what guitar used??

[xOsamaHamedx]

nice dude

[Keeperofthename]

clean?

[HUUAH11one1eleven]

The only reason people say buckethead fans say that slash sucks is because slash fans say that buckethead sucks. Neither do. In fact, You can't compare. Because even though buckethead can do almost any genre that features a guitar, he can't replace slash which made GNR one of the most successful bands in the past. Now, Slash can't replace buckethead either. because Buckethead's an artform, he makes others feel like no guitarist could. And he inspires folks to play their guitars.

[yoghmoob232]

@HUUAH11one1eleven damn bro. tht was good. u know what tht is so true. dont hate jus because ur a slash fan or a buckethead fan. jus respect the fact tht they can both play very good. dont hate

[heihei2300]

Accualy, Buckethead did not try replace Slash, Buckethead was rocking but that guy who tried to replace him was Robin Finck

[dannyhood66]

@HUUAH11one1eleven Good comment at the ending of your comment for sure,'' buckethead does things like nobody else..

[Joke300017]

@HUUAH11one1eleven them plus a few are my idols! they are both fantastic!

[Cosplayingrocks]

@HUUAH11one1eleven Buckethead was the ORIGINAL guitarist for GNR. As in, the first. And yea Slash does suck ass.

[Cosplayingrocks]

[GlouwBug]

Very, very good. Spectacular. You've got soul, kid.

[Decodemillenium89]

This EMG's Kick ass, I install those same EMG's at my guitar, What distortion used??

[oddclown]

Just comes from my peavey 212 vk, no distortion pedal

[Decodemillenium89]

o okokok, nice distortion of your amp.

[Jneezer]

Nice. i wonder if the good sound is the guitar or the amp? dam near perfect cove man.

[speaker3600]

I like the little hand technique

probably best tears cover on youtube

[Naes201GR]

if you wanna know the technique, they're called tapped harmonics.

[speaker3600]

oh thanks, I'm such a noob haha

[tanga696]

you can't improve a bucketheaad song

the original version is just perfect

[0powell01]

anyone know where i can get the tab for this. the only version i can find is just normally plucking the notes not tapping like this. thanks. nice cover by the way....

[Physc0o]

ultimate guitar has it i think it might be the 3rd one (full song)

[GlouwBug]

The real question is....

Has slash made you feel the way Buckethead has?

[Megaslunk]

Where did you get the tabs could you give a link or something??? plz

[Cosplayingrocks]

This could make a full grown man cry. :p

[deathclock5000]

fuck you u fuckin idiot slash sucks his own dick and buckethead is not corny slash is. slash can only dream of being as good as buckethead now go suck your dick

[alryic]

dude this is amazing!

[alryic]

no he doesn't :)

[Interkomkomind]

btw . great playing !!!!

[Interkomkomind]

Nahh . the only reason that you talk shit about buckethead is because he played at guns n roses and didn't do as well as slash .

He is a genius at composing, writing and playing music . You should listen to all his music

Now even if you heard all his music you still wouldn't have the right to talk shit because that makes you an ignorant asshole . You could say that you not feeling his genre or his way of expressing himself . but to say his music is garbage .. that just plain stupid dude

[dimeslime03]

i dig your vids

[oddclown]

Thanks dude!

[oddclown]

Bucketheads the best. But thank you.

[CapeliTO95]

Awesome 5/5

[outhouse124]

awesome cover!!! hey what settings do you use??

[oddclown]

Just reverb from my amp, tone knob turned down, light crybaby wah.

[Itszend]

man tell me plz the taping what tabs do u hit??? plz pm me with a tab for the taping cus it sounds great wanna try ) ty )

[seastarnok]

coooooooooooollllllllllll.....­...........

[PerfectFlyingDive]

i believe i came

[REAPER5SCYTHE]

great work +5

[Mendigando]

ajhjahja coause im cool. That reply rocked dude.

[REAPER5SCYTHE]

jajajajaja lo a machacado con esa respuesta xDDDDDD

[Mendigando]

ajhajhaj seee! XD

[oddclown]

Because im cool

[tails696]

freakin sweet man

[ivanardo]

which effects do you use, man?

[oddclown]

Just reverb from my computer. Sounds right outta my amp otherwise.

[joshdrock]

is it legal to play that good?

[oddclown]

Only in 7 states.

[zxcymn]

That has got to be the hardest chord I've ever tried to make (intro). You make it seem so easy, but my pinky just won't reach that far after placing my other fingers.

[oddclown]

Try the ones on Watching the boats with my dad, or satrianis always with me always with you, its reach is farther!

[speaker3600]

what do you mean by "its reach is father!"

?

[oddclown]

The chords in that song are more challenging for your fingers, it requires youre fingers to be spread out farther.

[dystinc7]

what kind of effects channel are you using to get that sound

[speaker3600]

tabs for this song???? looks kinda easy to play i want to learn it!

[Wingman696969]

Ultimate Guitar

[scheidtl]

great vid!

[Luiis765]

Perfect!! :)

[oddclown]

About $750, depending.

[oddclown]

Schecter exotic star...snow leopard finish. Thanks!

[jeremyandpappy]

yo #10

[Jeradman51]

good cover, man!

[xXFrozenKunXx]

a tutorial would be helpful as i can play iut but the tapping parts just come out rattled for me some thumbs up on the tutorial idea ^^

[nyrules704]

dude do a tutorial on this plz

[oddclown]

I will if you can get at least 10 people to thumbs up your comment, or have other people ask. Thanks for the comment! ~chris

[hotrod921]

i thumbed up plz do tutorial

[oddclown]

I will try to make a tutorial video for this tomorrow. =)

[QuotidianHegemony]

@nyrules704 Its simple stuff. He is just playing the same chords from any tab you can find on ultimate guitar and tapping an octave higher than the note he is fretting to get that sound. Just throw on a bunch of reverb and some chorus. I can do a tutorial if anyone really wants it.

[JJack887]

Hey man nice cover, i can never seem to nail those tap harmonics....anyways,im kinda surprised your hand didnt cripple on how you held that painstaking position for so long.

[oddclown]

haha, yep, tough chord to hold.

[packfan2929]

you took it a bit to fast

but everything else

the tone

and the sound in general

and accuracy was great :D

[oddclown]

Thank you. Tempo was how it was because this was my take on the song =) Thanks for the comment. ~chris

[wesellcoffee]

Sick cover :D  ur really good

[camerons2]

I love this song and you did a good job of covering it. like your guitar too. is it an ESP or a LTD ( judging by the guitar head ) I hope I'm right on the choices. Good Job Man

[oddclown]

Thanks dude, its actualy a Schecter exotic star. ~chris

[camerons2]

yeah I noticed the star on the fretboard, but I have never heard of that brand. It really looks like and ESP guitar

[oddclown]

Oh well Schecters are great guitars. You should try one out at guitar center or something! ~chris

[SLIPKNOT4747]

well said, I own a schecter Damien and its amazing, floyd rose and everything!

[ShankTheDark]

I have a Schecter Sunset FR Extreme, Its a really nice guitar, I love it.

[oddclown]

Awesome dude, Schecters are the best =) ~chris

[oddclown]

Awesome bro! Thinking of maybe getting one one those installed on my hellraiser avenger! ~chris

[blazi10]

amazing....

[SkyEatsHelicopter]

omg that was amazing, sounds exactly like the song

[oddclown]

thanks dude

[Seledin16]

Dude, how you get that sound? What effects are you using? That's really awesome.

[oddclown]

Reverb from my amp and computer, light phaser. Thanks! ~chris

[Fr3derick]

Fantastic!!!

Grandma Mary

[oddclown]

Thanks! ~chris

[danivh92]

Hey man! that was perfect! i love that song and I want to play it with my guitar. What effects are you using? Chorus? thanks pal ;)

[oddclown]

Reverb from my editing program, Sony Vegas Movie Studio 8. The rest is just messing around with my amp settings =)

[Future89]

fantastic bro, i love the playing and the guitar man, i left a video response of my version of the song, i play it in standard tuning though anywya check it out bro n leave a comment, cheers man, rock on

[mattacuk]

excellent,

[oddclown]

Thanks.

[CantaloupeKingMusic]

For the first part of the outro(the sexy part) I know the chords are Em and C(Maj). I wish more people would cover this to make the ending last longer.

[oddclown]

I gave it closure, i think, by arpegiating that main chord. You don't think so?

[CantaloupeKingMusic]

sorry, i didn't mean it like that. I just mean that, the outro section is such a powerful part to be played, it's perfect for improv or solo opportunities. I did like your ending though. Nice touch.

[oddclown]

Ah, why ruin the ending with random notes? This song is meant to be mysterious, and infinite. I agree with Bucketheads ending because it leaves you to decide for yourself; leaves you hanging. Mysterious. ~Thank you, chris.

[Bucketmask]

hey nice cover i like ur inlay what guitar is that a shec?

[oddclown]

It's a Schecter exotic star - snow leopard finish

[guitar4life33]

nice job with the harp/tap harmonics

[oddclown]

Thanks dude.

[leinadmailliw]

tabs maybe?

[tmac42078]

Mr. ODDclown i think you did the best electric tears cover on youtube ive seen yet  even Buckethead himself would be proud - good song -great sound nice guitar-you rock n roll

[oddclown]

Thanks!

[xxxtrizzoyxxx]

woww man, where did you learn to do that??

You should try a i love my parents cover too.

[oddclown]

Thanks, just practicing. I have a cover of that song by the way.

[rockerq8y010]

WoW you're really got talent man you tooked me to another world by your cover and thanx for that

[oddclown]

Thanks dude!

[thetenfold]

Very good. I use harp harmonics on the intro.

[oddclown]

Thanks,..harp harmonics?

[thetenfold]

Yeah look them up on Google or YouTube. I think it sounds more correct, but tap harmonics sound alright too.

[saedt]

pretty good, i love the effects

though at the beginning i thought it didnt feel passionate and weepy enough i dunno though, i think i heard the song too much such that it doesnt make me cry anymore XDD

[oddclown]

Thanks? I think ~chris

[timothyjohansson]

great job man!

[oddclown]

Thanks

[19RyanVoorhies93]

cool!

[oddclown]

Thanks dude

[19RyanVoorhies93]

welcome.

[proitc]

fucking amazing

hey bro where did you get the backing track form

[oddclown]

Dude thanks. The chords behind the solo, and the outro part guitar 2 is my own.

[dimwit503]

it is hard to say this, but you did such a great job that i think that this is almost better than the album version.

[oddclown]

wow, thanks alot dude! But I doubt its better!

[dethklok1817]

wow that is amazing...

[oddclown]

Thank you.
