Big Sur Moon

[XBitez]

Touching myself to this.

[RFinkle2]

Wow. Nicely done, my friend. Keep goin'!

[EoinOwnage]

i know alot of people ask about the delay but whats the amp settings, how do you get the tone?

[mylifeisaminorchord]

how did u  make the sound ?

[MarkLittleVai]

Nice cover.. your i got the blues is good too!

[coltonh45]

Sounds like theres a helicopter in the background but, it's better than I am!

[alessandribus]

perfect



[fallios]

how did u get this effect?

[bigheadrs87]

effin legit

[LMTDefender2000]

i have been thinking of puting a cover of this song up for a while now

[rush2death]

MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xxCrAzYcAnUkxXx]

is it wrong for me to say i listen to this cover than the real version?

[VeryOldEngine]

badass

[furbiscuit916]

I use tap echo,i think it sounds better,with chorus.

[sysrq120]

omg crab fingers...

[aleksisofevil]

i like your 1:45-2:05 impro riff

[bldbar118]

After many years of searching, and listening, this is still the best version of this song on youtube...including the studio version. You've managed to sate my desire for a longer song without cheapening the spirit of the original: a great cover indeed.

[apprentice70]

yeah i learned to play this song in about a day...and i made my own version towards the end like he did..very good dude..the only thing is..is u need to tune a little better..lol sorry i dont' want to sound like an ass..lol but yeah..im picky about tuning..and..i really like the high E string stuff..that was an amazing scale u picked out..and different octave..that was sexy. I'll post my version soon. NIce work and good delay sound!

[undefined975]

i want to play this one

[tigerwhite33]

Tight

[bryanpalacios86]

could somebody tell me the exact delay configuration to get this sound..?

[doom666kratos]

@bryanpalacios86 Man, that depends on the pedal you use. Some use only the amp, but as the sound is well embodied in this video, I think he used something more than just the Delay ... something like reverb or chorus.

[ChixMadHatter89]

@googxmsr I wanna learn it to, its so fucking pretty!!

[ragnaroksama]

damm ur fingers are long :O ME WANTS UR FINGERS =P

[SlyBuffalo]

the part at 1:03 without delay is the beginning of the mortal kombat theme

[ragnaroksama]

@SlyBuffalo rlly? then i know how play this shit! thx

[AR6200]

wat effect is this?

[OneFallenStar]

@AR6200 a delay

[pabloicg]

do you have the tabs???

[CSmaarten]

big sur moon belongs to be played in e-flat, or am i wrong?

[Gareann]

@CSmaarten You're right, but well, nobody feels like tuning down a guitar for one or two pieces to play.. Does'nt matter that much ;)

I played it in E and posted it on YouTube in E. Like many others :)

[NatashaKathryn]

ahhh, nice! :D

[stakri]

konyaku IS buckethead

[bramThaG]

you sir, are a god

[TheAjohta]

your version is way better than Bucketheads(not that his isnt bad). i love the arpeggiation down by the G flat.

[valdivia562]

how long did it take you to get it right on the recording. im try to record it and its taking forever and i am really impatient

[dave5293]

Dude, that is freaking awesome. I have played for 30 years, studied classical guitar for 4 years and still thrash at 46 years old . You ROCK!!!! what settings do you use?

[martunche]

what is the guitar effect you use and how i get it?

[1337Tailz]

Iv been learning guitar techniques with paul gilbert, iv practiced the alternate picking so many times, and now I can play that on my acoustic guitar, without delay, its not the same, but sounds pretty cool, It kinda sounds like delay... you should try to do the same, maybe ill upload a video of me doing that . =D

[skaterallbee10]

please check out my cover of Buckethead's Big Sur Moon! Im aspiring to become a well-known musician myself and your critizism is the biggest step to my dream of success!

[mikedjr1990]

duuuude your index finger has insane stretchage haha awesome

[JuLcrimson]

dude you nailed that! better than buckethead's version, better than the acoustic one too!

[Re1Mu2R3]

Oh that is lovely...

[mikedjr1990]

dammit i got the first part right but my amp sucks too much to get a good enuff delay effect

[awsomedrummer100]

dude you did a better job than buckethead

[memelasz]

eres muy bueno amigo...

[karmineeeeeee]

sorry, but to play this song, I need Chorus effect? or echo effect?

[thetreman]

@karmineeeeeee echo. I set mine around 300

[awsomedrummer100]

@karmineeeeeee You need a delay effect instead

[MrIsaque10]

very good!!!!

[MarkusJNZ]

That's awesome :)

[maynard15]

please please please PLEASE for the love of God and all other guitarists please post up the tabs for this song or at least tell us where you found them

[Arcaller]

awesome... really good job man!

[chj43046721gh]

some people may think not, but i prefer this to the original but still not to say buckethead is a genius for making it in the first place

[DiabolicalMinds]

Brilliant, You got that up-picking down to a T

[CreatureNL]

damn nice cover

[mattwildchild]

great cover

[RDdaNINJA]

Wha effects are you using? Is that a pedal doing the echo? Or can your amp echo?

[hellkidgreenday]

@RDdaNINJA it's a delay effect with some reverb and a bit of distortion

[RDdaNINJA]

@hellkidgreenday Cool.

[ChrononautDoom]

@RDdaNINJA delay pedal mostly..he might be running some reverb and whatnot..but the main effect here is delay...some amps come with them (line 6 spider 2/3) most amps require an actual delay pedal.

[xXJoNXx66]

Are you using a delay pedal or is that coming from your amp? If you're using a pedal, what settings? I'd love to play this :] Great cover by the way, the best one I've heard,

[jamaldaone]

Hey Bucket Bots ! Check out my Guitar Cover Of Big Sur Moon. Make A Comment , Subcribe And I'll check out your channel , videos and subcribe too! Peace Chicks Chickens and Cocks :D ! lol..

[gdaron1988]

AWESOME!!! Can you send me tab please? thx

[LehmannDaHero]

One thing i don't get about this cover. Why play with distortion using the bridge pickup?

[eduardto100]

CALCETO MIL RIFAS!!!!

[asgardthor123]

very nice playing

[chanchobolando]

is this rele how it goes?

[DAVO360]

I love this cover cover cover cover....

[jmannunez]

@DAVO360 i see what u did there ;)

[c22dividedby7]

dudes missing a finger

[elputopez09]

man nice man nice nice nice thumbs up

[flubberflavin]

what are your settings on the delay pedal?

[wldntknow]

kinda sounds like the mortal kombat theme 1:04

[TJOxie]

for some reason this song reminds me of donkey kong country

[jamaldaone]

Check out y version of Big Sur Moon

[MetalOfAllOwns]

that middle part 1:00 actually sounds like MORTAL KOMBATTT !! i could hear it in my head lol

[gustavo1487]

excellent performance :)

[ANKITTHEOG]

crazy

[carnage0105]

what amp did u use? is ur amp a marshall?

[kinderleinchen]

[olpmmone]

That up stroke's a bitch! GREAT JOB!

[dnashera4ever]

THIS IS FUCKIN' AWESOME!

[googxmsr]

Before I die, I will learn this.....

[ptrspro]

@googxmsr its not hard at all really once u get the speed down its all about getting the delay down on your amp i use 290ms and it sounds pretty good

[BreakoutBandOfficial]

@googxmsr it's not that hard, start now

[badshans]

almost better than buckethead himself

[IamKIDBUU1]

dude that's sick ass fuck hell ya u rock on :D

[FallenAngelH3]

FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[maxhazy]

Where can I download that version?

[bucket9010]

the video clearly says "the proper way"... why??? this s simple... buckethead and this guy is using up-string this this is the proper way...the guy have a good speed in his execution but must to know that everybody can make his own performance with his own technic... in my case im gonna use string skipping

[fatcow12354]

can u tab this out on guitar pro? i have my own cover of it but i changed it alot and its much shorter cause i just waas fucking arounf with parts i learned by ear

[mrlemonlame]

Buckethead would be proud of your performance...continue your dedication towards your mastery of shredding... +1

[Ryu0011223344]

What kind of pick up where u using ?

[jik1992]

@Ryu0011223344 looks like Humbuckers

[MrJudas07]

You made buckethead take off his mask and bow.

[Jonathansernel1]

[TheeIceman]

This is just great!!! best cover I've seen so far... good job bro...

[dDiZzYRaE]

[LehmannDaHero]

[potato135]

Outstanding! Listening to Colma right now. 

[QuotidianHegemony]

@dkyelak Listen to some QuotidianHegemony. It cleans your soul and makes you smarter.

[denkih272]

Thats probably buckethead himself, look at those loooooong fingers.

[Hazenfay66]

best cover so far, and pretty close to the original :D x

[dggt]

You nailed that son! ...way to go.

[AKnobGoblin]

1:03 Reminds me of the mortal kombat theme

[Lanarchyste58]

[xChriz503]

[SmexSmexSmexy]

Massive respect to you, amazing talent!

[aidange2]

[BvOBart]

I'd love to see Big Sur Moon or The Echo Song played without delay, see what remains xD.

[TenSpeedOfCoheed]

1:03 - 1:15

Mortal Kombat just rages into my mind during that riff.

[DrumL3000]

@TenSpeedOfCoheed yes inspired by mortal kombat for sure... and a little popcorn from hot butter..as well i think...

[tengizas]

[zeldafan117]

[neurocosm]
