[bzayed8080]

I left late from the office cause i was listening to this :) and couldnt leave till i finish

[tapPOOH]

@bzayed8080

haha nice... youtube while at work :D

[SrtoChemicalHeart]

amazing cover

PS 2 dislike is because dont make it FTW

[hallio111]

youre DAMN good, still not on Buckets level yet, but I'm sure you will get there the next few years.

don't forget to work on your own style of playing ... I hope you will write some original music in the future, just keep us infomed on your yt page about that...

[tapPOOH]

@hallio111

thanks man, dont forget to check out the new soothsayer i posted a few days ago!!

[100metalfanatic]

fuck fuck !

[mothrabattra]

this can go straight to my ipod :)

[SuperGForce01]

Watching this you can kind of imagine what it's like in the studio when it's just Brian Carroll recording without the mask and the bucket! You're definitely going places!!! Brilliant!

[tapPOOH]

@SuperGForce01

hmmm who knows... maybe he wears the mask and the bucket even when recording :D

[DivineCult]

fantastic dude. Just work on you wahs definitely and make it smoother between the distortions and it would be quite astonishing.

[1990EAM]

what's the effect at about 7:55 and on? that kind of wah thing that makes the note super high like a synthetizer

[tapPOOH]

@1990EAM

its the whammy pedal

[OkinMusic02]

yeah! you rock dude! =) the live cover! really the best cover!

[tapPOOH]

@OkinMusic02

thanks, its not a cover of a live version, its just an improv

[OkinMusic02]

@tapPOOH  There's some licks from the live version ^^ how many times do you practice? sorry if my english is not right i'm french

[bzayed8080]

Buckethead lent you his fingers :)

[tapPOOH]

@bzayed8080

haha thanks!

[Georgealan87]

best version cover! congratulations

[tapPOOH]

@Georgealan87

thanks man!

[bitchslapper12]

Nice! Please do a 3.0 and try reworking with the Wah-wah!

[tapPOOH]

@bitchslapper12

that is the plan, i bought a new camera today so i should get new videos rolling soon i hope!

[lundstah]

Everything but that wah-wah is AMAZING! Very well done my friend, you have evolved alot since the last cover of this song :)

[tapPOOH]

@lundstah

lol everyone seems to hate the poor wah.

i guess i have an excuse to re do this again...

[lundstah]

@tapPOOH nah dude, dont take it like that! as i said, the cover is AMAZING! you play it really, really well and you got alot of great licks there. the problem with your wah is just that it sounds... well, bad =/ i dunno how much you can tweak your wah, but i feel like it sounds as if the wah filter is just to dominant for your tone. I does not sound as your putting on a wah pedal like im used to hearing them, or just playing with it myself. its just way to much wah wah and way little guitar :)

[tapPOOH]

@lundstah

yeah i understand that. At the time i had the wah after the distortion pedal, i liked the tone back then because you could get some kind of volume swells (if you watch my interworld cover), but it had way too much treble.

now i have the wah before the distortion and it sounds very different compared to this video. I also want to buy the wampler triple wreck which can pull some heavy distortion and i will try to re do this in a few months.

[mach5music]

Wow, awesome job! I'm loving your Buckethead covers -- keep 'em coming!

[tapPOOH]

@mach5music

thanks man!

[psiloXcyber]

3 years? damn dude ive been playing for 10 years and couldnt cover this this well

[tpwelie34]

When you play the really fast licks, do you pick everything or do you mix in legato as well? if you do mix in legato, how do you know which notes to pick?

[blazingflofl]

hey man great cover. Quick question.... what are your delay settings?

[tapPOOH]

@blazingflofl

i only use delay in the beginning... i think it was set to 400 ms, i use boss DD-20.

[KappaManDan]

You're the only person I've seen on youtube so far that can play the lick at 8:25... Everyone else just seems to shred over it or something. That part is my favourite part of the song and you fucking owned it! Excellent job dude :)

[tapPOOH]

@KappaManDan

yeah its a good lick, i also like the whammy part in the studio version. now that i watch this again i really dont like my wah, i might re do this for the last time when i finish school in a couple weeks...

[mp3dude23]

awesome cover dude, how did you learn to impriovise like that? i really want to learn to improvise but i don't know where to begin. tips please?

[Stratocrasher]

@mp3dude23 Learn Buckethead's Natural Minor Scale :)

[ThePepper]

Now that's excellent! Nicely done! I've been trying to get some Buckethead into my own playing. Perhaps you can help me here. Any tips you can give me on playing those impossibly fast runs? Do you have to pick every note or are you using legato?

[blackmetal350]

awesome cover! love it!

[bluewetball]

best cover

[hallio111]

wowowow youre playing guitare for 4 years? either youre extremely talented or had a really good teacher! GREAT cover sounds exactly like Big B would play it....

[tapPOOH]

@hallio111

thanks i have been playing close to 3 years now, i actually never had a teacher and learned all i know (not much) by watching videos

[ddh8602]

u suck you are playing it wrong!!! lol jk ... shit man really nice your way of playing it =)

[Rebellion0915]

dude how exactly are you able to switch from clean to distorted when you are running the jemini and the tube screamer at the same time?

[tapPOOH]

@Rebellion0915

i turn on the tube screamer first and then the jemini... you can see at 1:56 ish im hitting both of them, you have to be quick but it can be done

hope it helps

[ZacharyDorsen]

great cover, easily the best on youtube. lets see if u can get as many views as that mexican guy.

anyways, i plan on posting a new cover of this song within the weeks so ill keep you posted!

[GuitarandShizz]

Dude, can you give me the settings on your amp you used for this?

[tapPOOH]

@GuitarandShizz

bass 2

mid 8

treble 6

[GuitarandShizz]

@tapPOOH Thanks man, great cover!

[shredfaster]

Once again man, you totally blow my mind with your technical ability. Absolutely amazing!

[tapPOOH]

@shredfaster

thanks man, you are very good as well... hope to see more videos from you soon!

[shredfaster]

@tapPOOH Dude i just checked bucketheadlanddotcom and buckethead is coming to BB kings in new york!

[tapPOOH]

@shredfaster

its nice to see him touring again, unfortunately i live in europe so i will probably never get to see him live... hope to see some videos though!

[xTiLkx]

You overdid it a bit with with the wah IMO.

Otherwise this was hands down the best Soothsayer cover I've seen.

[abee92]

@xTiLkx Haha i agree on both!

[tapPOOH]

@xTiLkx

yes the wah may sound annoying at times, thanks for the feedback!

[k24skin]

So dude which one of Buckethead's many Live performances of this epic song inspired you the most?

[tapPOOH]

@k24skin

i dont know... i watched many of them but didnt bother to learn specific licks, it mostly helped for phrasing.

[FinalClockwise]

P.E.R.F.E.C.T!! OMFG! YOU'RE NOT HUMAN MAN! VERY AWESOME!! \m/ BUCKETHEAD RULERS!!!

[tapPOOH]

@FinalClockwise

thank you!

[youtaka15]

dude!!! one more vid till your 60th!!!

make it awesome!!! and awesome cover!!!

[tapPOOH]

@youtaka15

thanks man!

[makaronke]

why only 84 ???? U must have above 50 000

[tapPOOH]

@makaronke

thanks!

[XDarkmage1]

What's your way to learn guitar? Personal Lessons? Music School ? Alone?

[tapPOOH]

@XDarkmage1

im slef taught with some help from various forums and videos

[FrankTheGr81]

i dont like the wahs sound too much but that was still really gooood =) i learned some techniques from this tooo thanks! =D

[tapPOOH]

@FrankTheGr81

thanks!

[lordhalo1605]

Nice one dude, I cover that song too, but not like you.

[tapPOOH]

@lordhalo1605

thanks a lot!

[CanasClone]

Was that the Jemini or the amp giving the distortion?

[tapPOOH]

@CanasClone

its the jemini + turbo tube screamer

[XDarkmage1]

I never see an video like this... your sound is very very clear,

your performance was perfect! This is the better cover that i see !

Every day i search by new buckethead covers videos, because i

can, some day, find an cover like your!

Perfectttttttttttttt

[tapPOOH]

@XDarkmage1

thanks a lot, i also watched some of your acoustic videos and they are very good!

[OODyxOO]

great sweep! :)

[tapPOOH]

@OODyxOO

thanks but i am really bad at sweep picking, its pretty much the only arpeggio i can play and its not even that clean...

[DantezMaritu]

I never understood where should be my fingers while trying to learn this song. Well, at least now I have an idea.

You are improving greatly, my friend, good job!

[tapPOOH]

@DantezMaritu

thanks man, i practice every day so i hope to become even better!

[tnngng]

EPIC.

[tapPOOH]

@tnngng

thanks man, glad you enjoyed!

[juda67000]

GG! very nice tone and playing as usual. The Studio rocks!

[tapPOOH]

@juda67000

thank you, its a good guitar i agree!

[makaronke]

perfect

[tapPOOH]

@makaronke

thanks!

[mlgudead]

:D I see a white killswitch

[tapPOOH]

@mlgudead

no the killswitch is red/black, the white switch is the pick up selector :D

[mlgudead]

@tapPOOH lol no, what is the white button up by where the pickup selector is supposed to go

[tapPOOH]

@mlgudead

ah, its nothing... just a plastic cap to cover te hole, buckethead used to have something similar on his 2001-2006 guitar
