One of young Buckethead's fastest shredding demonstrations

[UNWIND777]

No one but the fucking devil himself could play in such a crazy way as buckethead does! Plus that's why he wears the mask! BUCKETHEAD = SATAN! I FIGURED IT OUT GUYS!

[ItsMrBuckethead]

Its funny to see young Bucket & His Guitar! Lol Much Love Bucket!

[maryjaneclurricane]

the solo at 0:05 i m gonna play that

[MMA94NYC]

I'd be as good as he was too if I lived in my room my whole life and just played guitar all day

[AngelOfNight9]

@MMA94NYC You still wouldn't be as fast

[1977BanditTransAM]

This shows how much of a life he has... Look at his room...

[TheHornet79]

Sounds like Shawn Lane but Shawn could do that without tapping

[GuitaRockz1]

My New Year's resolution will be to learn this by ear...

[AngelOfNight9]

@GuitaRockz1 Good luck with that..

[Shawn3129]

can anyone check the speed on this. I heard bucketehead in general tops out at 13.5 NPS picking but this seems like one of the fastest things hes done..... maybe just because of the tonality.

[AngelOfNight9]

@Shawn3129 Sorry man that was only for the studio albums heard, he's been clocked at 17.33NPS clean in one of his lessons and generally in the 18's live with the deli creeps. He's also faster than Gilbert, Paul said it himself in an interview when talking about Bucket "I will admit he's quicker than I" .. tops out at 13.5 lol that's funny. I know where you got that list

[nlo13]

0:51

ahh.. that dissonance tickles my brain in a good way :)

[Jonbo117]

i love the apron. insane playing

[RabidEasterBunny]

I see the cover for Eraserhead on his wall.

Not surprised.

[absoluteGODhatred]

god damn hes got some serious chops

[MrKaljakoppa]

lol tags say ''suck it herman li''

[GoldenPickaxe]

more like shredding demolition

[1badsplatterfish]

obvioulsy not buckethead but nice shrdding



[colonelcack]

@1badsplatterfish yep, sure ain't buckethead...thjat's why it's on his official dvd...but i guess you know better

[MrDeneth0r]

@1badsplatterfish u should know that no1 could shred like this... he is the one and the only buckethead =D

[1badsplatterfish]

@MrDeneth0r not true yeah his music writing is genious but its not an uncommon skill

[TrumpetsOfZeus]

@1badsplatterfish that is buckethead... name 1 other guitar player with this level of ability.....

[1badsplatterfish]

@TrumpetsOfZeus paul gilbert

[AngelOfNight9]

@TrumpetsOfZeus Chris Impellitteri, Paul Gilbert, Jeff Loomis, Batio, Malmsteen, Shawn Lane, Vai, Satriani, Rusty Cooley, Joe Stump, Petrucci

[Bubfield405]

@1badsplatterfish Stupid ass

[LookAfterYourself]

@1badsplatterfish FAIL XD

[1badsplatterfish]

@LookAfterYourself type in buckethead vs. paul gilbert

[AngelOfNight9]

@1badsplatterfish Yes it is

[TheSpartan1024]

@1badsplatterfish this is on his dvd, i have it

[bordertown]

Buckethead puts the "demon" in demonstration. 

[ohYew812]

No homo, but I'd suck a fuckin' cock to be able to shred even HALF that good! DO YOU HEAR ME SATAN??? Lets make a deal!!!!

[colonelcack]

@ohYew812 BEST COMMENT ON THIS VIDEO SO FAR.

[oneofanceantproficy]

@ohYew812 i'd suck a cock anyways O3o jk

[unholystrahd]

@ohYew812 that definately makes you a homo

[stone314687]

@ohYew812 you'll learn it eventually... just keep playing and practising. dont start sucking dix yet. nothings impossible, hes still a human...sorta...but if he can do it so can you.

[ohYew812]

@stone314687 Thx bro... I was almost on one knee.... LMFAO!!! J/K

[c197373]

@ohYew812 Get a grip on yourself pansy.

[ragnaroksama]

@ohYew812 as i was reading ur comment i was like "hmmm thats a rlly small price to pay" but then u said satan then i was like "HOLY * * * * !"

[nemogre]

@ohYew812 hearing those evil tones and notes i believe buckethead is satan xaxa

[XxdartvaderxX]

when i saw buckethead in austin he stared at me 10 mins straight shredding .. it was awsome! LOL

[ohYew812]

@XxdartvaderxX Did you have a loose booger, or like maybe some egg yolk dripping off the chin?

[flippyg111188]

Eraserhead picture in the background!

[MrKetfo]

Stop making that fucking noise, and get me two pieces extra crispy bucket boy.

[Shawn3129]

I wonder if he could still play this. I think Buckethead's lost a bit of speed over the years

[stone314687]

how old is he here?

[MrKetfo]

Sounds like a fucking nightmare i had last night. Tuneless prick.

[UnknownSect333]

@MrKetfo God dammit... Do you know how to read?

[txlastrebel]

stupid clown ass

[UnknownSect333]

@txlastrebel You really shouldn't talk about yourself that way...

[KariiKarKariiyo]

Well, self-respect...it's been a good run.

[DanDeePee]

anyone else respect him even more for the eraserhead picture in the back?

[boxxx010]

just watched this video. automatically sold my guitar on ebay, called buckethead and told him he wins

[colonelcack]

@boxxx010 I know the feeling.

[frackle123]

@boxxx010

Seriously, that's the coolest, funniest comment that I can directly relate to.

[dirosaga]

@boxxx010 Good, you took Petrucci's advice. But you havn't killed yourself yet...

[MitchRileyTV]

@boxxx010 haha thats how I feel too

[Brentypooz]

My fav part is 0:30

[gmangsxr750]

playing on a classical guitar will help with your speed and dexterity on an electric as well. The wider string position and nylon strings will help strengthen your hands. Kind of like swinging a baseball bat with weights before going to bat... feels lighter afterwards.

[refinedfriend]

how do you develop such finger speed?

[jakeknotthead]

@refinedfriend practice, I once saw these finger weight things that help

[TheMonkeybutler20]

@refinedfriend years and years of practise my freind.

[refinedfriend]

@TheMonkeybutler20 hah, well i figured that, but, what sort of practice is the best way? just doing things like

repeated scales as fast yet as accurate as you can? cause at least i'm doing that now

[TheMonkeybutler20]

@refinedfriend try practising different scales from different countries and just have some patience and he has been playing for 20 years or so, but just try different scales and hey presto

[25thBullet]

what happened as a child?? nah hes AWESOME!!!

[WayneStandsUp]

82 people really hate KFC.

[zorac91]

yeah! 0:35 eraserhead photo xD. He is so fucking weird, I love it

[decaps4499]

clearly.. he is the reincarnation of jesus

[722erodz]

creepee : )

[Loqquer]

Buckethead should write music for horror movies.

[Megasus007]

Holy reverb lol

[GuruFrancesco]

Um.... Never going to try to play the guitar after that...

[aeonONERR69]

Another nickname for his fingers.....vagina exploder

[LunchedTV]

i love the way hes holding his guitar :)

[JakeXe1]

Fuck dragon force, put this as the hardest song on guitar hero.

[TheNonautomatoN]

That's like the sound track to my last acid trip...

[Metallica101ftw]

should have a note count. it'd break the counter

[TheChickenAnxiety]

What model of Kramer is that?

[Drazzirg]

His right and left hand are so ridiculously efficient with flawless technique.. His fingers are like 5 mm's away from the strings at all times, WELL DISCIPLINED EFFICIENCY.

[toejam498]

this dudes weird

[theguest00]

Fastest fingers I've ever seen!

[TheWhocares233]

The thing buckethead does at 0:48 is probably the most evil augumented, outside thing i have ever heard. MUST. HAVE .TABS

[zetch1411]

@TheWhocares233 sounds to me a bit like flight of the bumblebee

[TheWhocares233]

@zetch1411 The tapping bit?... That definantly not flight of the bumblebee

[zetch1411]

@TheWhocares233 I meant from like 0:47 to 0:52 or so

[Drazzirg]

@TheWhocares233 I think it's diminished 9-12-15 with a tap on the 17 on the low E. I can't tell the frets exactly from the quality, but I also think there is open strings as well, I am just trying to help. If it is augmented that is a GIANT stretch, probably not hard for him though.

[Brentypooz]

Wtf :O

[ragnaroksama]

damm looks like a snes song

[legatolaurel]

I like this way more than Buckethead's delay effect stuff. But the downside is this lacks the beat that the delay stuff has. I would love to hear stuff like this accompanied by a really good drummer.

[mikebott]

very often i find shredding exercises stullifying and yawn inducing... but never when this guy does it

[DarkLordNagash]

Kind of funny how this is a music video and the top rated comments are about sex ;)

[ZatchShowbiz]

The lighting makes for a very cool horror movie along with that mask/creepy stare :P

[puregenius7112]

He could kill people with a guitar solo.

[KornSOAD]

Whoever dialed in his fucking reverb needs to be killed.

[CometShoot000]

0:06 WTFFFFFFF???????????? *_*

[522viper]

Buckethead only speaks through his guitar.

[kalashnikov47mf]

@522viper

Not entirely true,he uses a mask called Herbie,sort of like a ventriliqest to do interveiws and such.......

[SuperStinknugget]

I don't think bh could fit in that bed

[glaciervillage]

i recognize that vein from anywhere, this is the real buckethead NOT A STUPID WANNABE

[flipskateboards12345]

@glaciervillage well buddy if it was a stupid wannabe then i think he would be just as good as buckethead

[DelornificatioN]

How old is he here?!

[SomeProGamer]

@DelornificatioN He's 20.  Says it in the description...

[DelornificatioN]

@SomeProGamer Оkay, so I have two more years. No worries, I'll catch up... In my dreams...

[bikerboy840]

@DelornificatioN

Young haha, 18-19

[Xemnosin]

When I saw "Technical Difficulties" i was like "OMG No way!.. O_o" I really thought it was gonna show him playing on of his Teacher's songs "Technical Difficulties."

[TheMonsterEagle]

oh my gosh

[Mixen9408]

Sounds great.

[lolerz222]

....Dear Gawd.

[iChugCoffee]

He should join the band Rings of Saturn (:

[jcou1138028]

there is too much fucking reverb!!!!!!!

[JamesGod08]

There is playing the guitar, and then there is raping the life out of it

[HMStrat69]

Am I the only one that realized that his guitar is not plugged in?

[mattgresh1]

@HMStrat69 What we have realized is that sometimes people post comments to express their jealousy or other feelings towards the video.

[HMStrat69]

@mattgresh1 Im not dissing, im just stating it. I love buckethead. arguments made off of assumptions are the worst arguments. have fun being a youtube cop.

[6maniac6metal6]

@HMStrat69 WTF, you just blew my mind, is this some kind of alien conspiracy or something!? What the fuck man?!?!

[primozuado]

hahha

suck it herman li!

[MOSKII58]

i feel like the chainsaw massacre dude should burst in now at any time..

[theantfish]

his guitar isnt pluged in, theres no chord

[amzfishman]

0:21

BUCKETHEAD.

[lvXxACHILLESxXvl]

this guy is super talented but i wonder what is under the mask.....

[ThomasDemko]

@lvXxACHILLESxXvl a face... duhhh -.- lol

[alexrb26]

im sure anybody can do this... just relax your wrists and move your fingers real fast and voila

[Metalchickenlittle]

Im curious, who are the guys in the photos behind him?

[kornhead6555]

he could replace herman li...

[RORONORSOLO]

@kornhead6555 how dare you compare Buckethead with Herman Li?

[kornhead6555]

@RORONORSOLO oh, i do dare.

[TheFernandeth]

fcking great buckethead



[Voodoochile316]

I bet this dude never once got laid as a teenager

[mrhendrixfan123]

@Voodoochile316  haha xD if he did the same shit he does with a guitar to a girl he would kill her lmao xD

[SSL532]

@Voodoochile316

Stating this makes you feel a little better about how insignificant you are doesn't it?

[Voodoochile316]

@SSL532 Same for you growing up was it?

[AHUtch81]

@Voodoochile316 He did try fingering a girl once....She died.

[TheFernodragon]

He fingered a girl once... She died.

[adumbbrunch]

@TheFernodragon Why is this comment on every f**king buckethead video!! seriously, look, one person came up with it and now everyone is stealing it!!

[ThaThing1337x]

@TheFernodragon

How original comment...

I guess there are people searching for shred videos pasting that intot he comment boxes

Have heared it 100 times beofre >_>

[snakev10v5]

@TheFernodragon no she didn't but she never found a better job ;)

[Thoronos93]

@TheFernodragon dude i busted out laughing when i read that. funny shit lol.

[cyanide6586]

@TheFernodragon wut the fuk.lol.

[DocBrewster]

@TheFernodragon wouldnt get a girl into that bedroom!

[MsGiants99]

hes my role model and he has magical fingers:l

[threegreensevens1]

At the end it sounded like castle in mario 3!

[linkingeek]

he's the best shredder at par with Eddie van halen

[GuitarFretMan]

He's so weird :/

[mattgresh1]

@GuitarFretMan True, but some of us who do not like the social norm, like that.

[GuitarFretMan]

@mattgresh1 Me,for example ;)

[PictureJohnBroken]

I'm horny now

[userjoe1020]

I think THINK this is the video he sent to Guitar Player mag, which put him on the map. I remeber they came down and found him on a poulty farm somwhere.

[ThomasDemko]

his bed looks a little short for him

[XSuperSpy3000X]

I wonder if the colonel would of given Buckethead his secret recipe if he saw this.

[nlo13]

ATONALITY. BAM. But yeah, this is pretty great.

[megadeth8592]

what kind of guitar is he using?

[SuperGoofy13]

this video is actually melting your brain... slowly, but feels sooo greeeaaatt.....

[powersoftritone]

GOD

[algoreisahoax]

look at the binge and grab video with maximum bob and ull see the white closet like in this video

[Flykiller1212]

NOW an APRON!!! AWSOME

[TheRockingtimeTV]

/watch?v=XD9jVYllqs4&feature=f­eedu

[1234gnrslash]

This is called "doing whatever the fuck you want and not giving a shit about idiots who don't listen to your melodic songs"

[lostmusic37]

like it or not.....lots above the average.....amazing technique

[kid123454]

theres a picture of Hitler lol

[screamit1]

0:36 he has an eraser head picture in the wall behind him. awesome movie.

[EpicEmpel]

ok ive allways wondered is this real and if it is where did u find it?

[colonelcack]

@EpicEmpel It's from his DVD, Secret Receipe.

[Vaderrules14]

Everytime you blink, you probably miss seeing like 3-6 notes.

[nabo97]

is great ,ita awesome,its simply buckethead

but i have only one question....

the guitar seems to be not connected :S

[PanterAmetal100]

........DAMN!.....

[LuminousGuy]

The lighting reminds me of the movie " Basket Case" lol

[headkickerIII]

@LuminousGuy holy shit dude your so right!maybe the scene when hes feeling up the black chick

[VaiGuyVH]

How disfigured is this womans face that she hides it???

[JonnyYang123]

@VaiGuyVH excuse me?

[1000howdoyou]

buckethead is a fucking insane!

[Blitzzkreigg]

Wait, i'm kind of lost here, all these shredders that I see: Buckethead, etc. do these guys even use scales when they shred because when he's playing the notes dont seem to collide so much.

[colonelcack]

@Blitzzkreigg He uses the natural minor scale for most of his improvising, he just repeats each set of 3 notes twice...if you're curious as to how he does this check out this video for a more detailed explination - type youtube dot com and then the slash and put this at the end watch?v=sFQfXzJnChk

[mattgresh1]

@colonelcack I wouldnt say that he only uses the natural minor scale. You could say that he plays tritones and atonal patterns. But thats not all he uses to shred.
