Buckethead Guitar Lesson (monster explanation)

[BiohazardRus2]

I wish Buckethead were my guitar teacher.

His grandma's head explains everything so intelligibly.

[DoomzdaySayer]

Yeah', BUCKETHEAD is great! I remember hearing about him way back in the day and then he shows up on stage with GNR. Next thing I know, people everywhere are bitching about the new GNR live song (on MTV) and how much they hate his new guitar player!

Don't you hate when that happens!?! Someone cool like BUCKETHEAD comes along, people don't understand him and then they bash him. All those fools saw was Axel Rose with a new hair style, and his guitar player "Buckethead."

[soothsayer1985]

I think it looks really funny when Bucket has that glove holding the severed hand.. ha ha ha.. The hand is so small!

[canacourse]

If this man wasn’t so fucking good on the guitar he would be locked up.

[BeeGreeen]

Does he really talk like that?

[darkmatterdoesit]

@BeeGreeen No, he just talks like that with Herbie, his head puppet.

[thebehmont1]

You stole this video D:

[6Attila6Alitta6]

are there tabs for these any were?

[LetChickenzLive]

@6Attila6Alitta6 Ultimate guitar...but they're in guitar pro format

[kinderleinchen]

one phrase:

wtf.

[iSAUSAGE]

Figure 4 sounds alot like one of the riffs in BFMV's Last Fight - I can rest assure, Buckethead is the original creator of the riff! xD

[nflagg11]

he would be a lot better if he wasn't such a freak.........

[GoldenDevil777]

really wished i hadnt taken all that LSD and watched this cuz that disembodied head creeeeped me the FUCK OUT.

[GuitarandShizz]

Is this on a Dvd or what?

[stoob1969]

How did he make that mask talk? I never saw him move his bucket.

[smokescrean23]

buckethead sounds alot like paul gilbert (guitar god), but with more style.

[maximaman380]

I swear he severed gene wilders head and has made it his meat puppet

[maximaman380]

its the stig without his helmet on

[whiteskull2112]

i have so many questions, can someone answer why he doesnt show his face and why he sounds sad or depressed and whats with the chicken coop

[ManeezTheOne]

i think buckethead is slash!!!! hahaa busted!

[BLUEWIZARD40]

its hard to understand what the monster head says

[timek900]

DONT DO THIS B-HEAD

you arent funny

but do this with your mask

and dont with your monster

[Thats1hardcorekid]

you arent funny shut the fuck up

[RougePakMing]

0:01 to 7:42 was my favourite bit.

[agvido]

stupid

[chrisw40]

what kind of a dumb fuck wears a greasy ass KFC bucket on his gay head lmao he wont get any further then KFC if he's lucky he can be manager some day

[belkeSMASH]

@chrisw40 dude buckethead is one of the best guitarists in the world, with his abilities he can wear whatever the fuck he pleases.

[chrisw40]

@belkeSMASH ya he's just topping the charts lol

[Deamonition]

@chrisw40 well, a lot of his songs have more than 1 million viewers on youtube. The song Jordan was on guitar hero and he played with Guns 'N Roses (auditionned for Ozzy too).

Whatever, he's done a lot and is very well known in the guitar world.

So in case you really are serious about bashing Buckethead, perhaps you should try and expand your music knowledge first.

[chrisw40]

@Deamonition somebody's in gay love LOL

[Deamonition]

@chrisw40 who said I was a man?

[chrisw40]

@Deamonition I did man

[eminemforlifenoshit]

@chrisw40 its true though

[n0s1r]

@chrisw40 yes, because art is about sales... 

[Armando2007]

Search: NO DETENGAS TU PROGRESO

[LehmannDaHero]

lol this is not a lesson... its just teaching us humility... that we can never be as awesome as him!

[Gromos69]

i love figure 4, is a song?

[evonai]

buckethead is a freak

[silentboy85]

dear buckethead, we know that u are an intelligent guitarist, but, please, if u wanna make lesson video, make it properly, make your teacher(paul gilbert) as a great example...

[bombershard]

i can't understand this lesson at all... what the fuck is that head saying?

[yanzki19]

paul gilbert created a monster hehehehh

[dreadbet]

@yanzki19

no my friend.

paul gilbert teach brian to play some shit

brian created bucket fuckin head.

[paie2007]

I swear that toy head at 6:52 gives me the creeps.

[darthvaderyoda]

did he do this in a guitar magazine lesson? if so, is there tabs?

[terencemistrali]

i'm learning the FIGURE 2 ... My Finger cry !!! lol

[B4TBOMRKITE]

lol buckethead is a monster!

[gessIsRaunchy]

creepy guy but impressive genius

[TehHaloNoob1337]

The puppets name is Herbie.

Bucketheads personal interpreter.

[assassinXXnissassa]

good way to keep your identity a secret, crazy ass monster head

[DavidDingleG9bB10]

if chuck norris played guitar...

he probably wouldn't be as good as buckethead.

[GunsNRoses091]

why the fuck has he got a monster mask in his hand? can´t get it!

[katherineluvswill]

thats how he talks

[bizzle1783]

''and paul gilbert came by and played some shawn lane tape'' i wonder if that's the editing technique that shawn lane talks about in another vid,(shawn lane talks about buckethead)apparently buck just recreated it with two handed tapping without realising it was an editing technique!

[Dragonforcenerd13]

lol, Buckethead is very literal I see. XD

[Arkazki]

lolz that was cool

[z0mgzt0m]

u gotta love the tritone tapping tbh

[axlane86]

hahahaha

i didnt thought it literaly meant that the monster explained the methods...

[lllRobinsonlll]

I like figure 4. xD

[tybsc15]

he shud loose the mask and the bucket hes good

[TheFigueroa007]

@tybsc15 I agree man, I think he's at the stage where he could lose the mask and buckethead, and just play and people would love him. Also, I think he's getting too old to still be this superhero persona.

[skaterpunk246]

he makes alot of sense!

[ChrisBuckethead]

i don't understand what he is saying

[lightzor]

WOAHHHH 6:33 how was the dismembered hand moving??? creepy...

[DaTimeHat]

his real hand is inside the dismembered hand. hes just wearing it like a glove

the hand that looks like its holding the dismembered hand is the fake one.

[puregenius711]

uuuuuhhhhh mechanical hand!!! xD

dont worry i wont be a dick about it.

[6DETHKLOK]

no wonder buckethead is soo amazing paul gilbert was his guitar teacher

[deadithink]

No he wasn't faggot.

[bucketheadfn]

yes he was dumbass

[bucketheadfn]

then who taught him

[deadithink]

Pebber Brown.

[Pridesmasher]

man.....he is goofy

[blahfuu]

more like amazing.

[synystergates94]

he is like distubed but is amusing at the same time...

[Lespaulspecial2]

buckethead rocks! but i'm just saying that after watching this and hearing his voice and how he acts I'm pretty sure he's Autistic. He still ROCKS though!!!!!!!

[ippurr]

why are people reacting negatively he obviously has some autistic qualities but who the fuck knows he does or doesn't its not a bad thing

[bizzle1783]

after reading your comment i'm pretty sure your autistic

[jjjonno]

i like the old guns and roses better but that still dosen't change that buckethead is insane on the guitar

[vintageuser]

btw thw monster he calls it Herbie

[pinktiger3]

lol look how much fun he is having at the end, i would give my pinky toes to be able to play like that

[dethman32]

HE Talks!!!

[3R1CtheRED]

that mask scares the shit out of me....

[ankin8]

just like my history teacher!

[jbonhamII]

this is some funny shit!

but he is pretty incredible with the axe

[pnoecker]

i think bucketheads actually not disturbed, and enjoys a plain life outside of rock with out paparazzi and fans all over him.

[agreb007]

you can believe me,

95% of the World knows Eddie Van Halen..

30% of the World knows Buckethead...

IMO Buckethead is better ..

[cooljohn12000]

95% of all statistics are made up xD

[pinktiger3]

imo buckethead is the best

[kidbook32]

maby it is just a image

i bet if he meets up with parents or somenting he takes the mask off

or maby i could be wrong

thats just what i belive

[J0EMOMMA726]

...

[0oiliji0oijl]

thats right

its a switch of personality

its one way to be different from normal artists

[gessIsRaunchy]

wtf is he sratchin the wall? xD

[afroninja1111]

he's wiping sweat off his fingers

[gessIsRaunchy]

ah i see

[Ipetsy]

Disturbing yet Im amused

[ja1959hnt]

very very but is it fun

[modevotion1]

does anyone know if buckethead is disturbed or is it all just an image he portrays?

serious question, i'm not trying to make fun.

i actually don't care either way... he's that damn good; i'm just curious.

[youztuber5000]

thats what keeps you coming... the mystery. and killer licks, ambient soundscapes... ect.

[modevotion1]

well i read an article that said he has a transient like lifestyle, he would rarely show up to recording or rehearsal and that it was impossible to communicate with him.

soo... it can't all be for show.

[jagermeister5000]

"monster explanation".....his severed head buddy is called Herbie.

[gutiarplyr411]

okay, 6:33 and on, is that even legal in the laws of science???

[guitarplayer44444]

I can't learn because he goes so fas any advanced person tab any one figure out? PLZ!

[Shenez524]

i thought he couldn't talk

[guitarplayer44444]

his puppet is talking not him

[youztuber5000]

theres a version with subtitles

[OzzyHill]

it sounds kool with the acostic guitar

[scartissue121]

Does buckethead expect people to be able to play this stuff?

[willfranks2003]

I don't think it's a lesson at all. It's really more of an anti lesson.

[xslipx135]

If you watch his hands, you can get the idea, really. It's also NOT for new guitarists.

[youztuber5000]

yes

[Eliotthecool]

woah that makes me wanna break ma Strat LOL!
