  • cant understand a word he says. Maybe change your name to MushMouth?

  • WOW! I didn't even see his lips move ! ! !

  • Buckethead can play.

  • You obviously don't play guitar. If you knew anything about guitar you would know that Slash, though a very good guitarist is not even on the same planet as Buckethead. Buckethead is seriously one of the best guitarists in the world.

    playing guitar has nothing to do with it, it is taste, exuse those of us who enjoy off the cuff blues improv and attitude as opposed to crazy atonal tapped crap

  • slash pwns...who the heck gave that comment -6

  • wow

    bucketheads crazy and amazing

  • i have seen god.

  • Omfg I loled so hard. Buckethead is so fucking weird that he's awesome.

  • You obviously don't play guitar. If you knew anything about guitar you would know that Slash, though a very good guitarist is not even on the same planet as Buckethead. Buckethead is seriously one of the best guitarists in the world.

  • so you judge him by his appearance? We can obviously tell youre a GnR freak, so I don't like you because of youre screenname on here.

    does that make much sense? no.

  • Well, and then it is people that is not from America

  • weird kid.

  • maybe he doesent want people bothing him wen he walks down the street

  • maybe he doesn't want them bathing him, either.

  • dude wtf is she scratching at at the end of the video?? O.o

  • buckethead is just scary

  • I think hes weird because wasnt he raised by chickens?

  • what was he pressing at 1:33?

  • killswitch

  • holly shit.....

  • Holly Hunter!

  • the ending is incredible

  • 4:30 to 5:15 are hilarious he reminds me of me except with mad skillz.

  • is this really buckethead or some other wierdo?

  • he's really good at playing guitar but he's a fucking weirdo

  • lol, fag? -__- dumbass

    anyway, dude kinda needs subtitles

    end solo was awesomeness

  • hes like an alien someone needs to tear off his mask one day

  • respect the man, anyone who says he sucks or hes gay or anything along those lines is either jealous, or a moron. good day

  • hes sweet but seriosly he would be respected by more people if he would just stop being weird

  • hes "wierd" for a reason, he doesnt want to be mainstream, or loved by all, or something hes not, hes about the music, thats why he looks the way he does, to make a point, he might look odd, but he'll molest your brain juice with his "alien" skillz

  • sounds like a nintendo game :)

  • some day he will show himself....

  • its actuly called a kill switch what he taps, you can buy them at basically any electronics store, they are called momentarie's and cost all of like 8 bucks to buy

  • scratch that last comment. its not an effects button i think its a pickup switch but then whats the other things? and figure 6 owns

  • what guitar is that?

    it has effects buttons built into it

  • biggest fag ive ever seen, but this mother can play guitar

  • This is the weirdest fuck ive ever seen!

  • lol chickenman??haha the head scared me..lol

    but ya i had a good laugh..cuz i couldnt understand what the head was talking about...

  • holy shit that head is scary... im gonna have nightmares o.o

  • actually the dunce...

  • Look up Pebber Brown...Buckethead was the slow one of the class....

  • Pebber Brown taught BUCKETHEAD for 13 years

    GOOGLE search PEBBER BROWN

  • this guy is a mental case.

    with his damn puppet and sick mask.

    and he does use easy patterns

  • This video is not a lesson, this is Chicken Boy's venue to showcase his eccentricities & skillful guitar playing. His great musicianship aside, this boy is a few bricks shy of a full load. Does anyone actually believe there is a lesson to be learned? Did anybody actually improve their guitar technique watching this?

  • thnx man...Rock On

  • any1 know his puppets name?

  • herbie

  • yea he's playin it on fret 2 for figure 4(i fink it is) n when i do it it sounds sharp so i fink it mite be down a half step on his guitar...awesome guitar

  • if u watch his fingers carefully u can see wat he's doin aint hard, like a paradigm in some sense

    FOLLOW his pattern and u can see how easy it is, sounding hard but easy if u give it everythin

  • yeah hes doing somewhat easy stuff but at a realy high speed...but think about it, would he realy do extremely amazing hard guitar shit on a lesson?they wont learn anything if he did

  • slash is one of the best guitar players

  • What's the button he presses on figure 5 when he screws up on the 3 finger nub?

    It's to the right of the killswitch and it's black...

  • I think it's the pickup select. Don't quote me on that

  • random props + buckethead = instant comedy.

    is he trying to be funny? either way, he's really good. Not the best, but definately on my iPod.

  • This is the funniest shit I've ever seen, what a badass.

  • he`s a completely freak, but awesome ... only a awsome guitarist ...

  • why does he pet the wall?

  • He doesn't pet the wall. If you noticed how he plays he uses the killswitch and his fingernails, no pick. He sharpens his nails on the wall, thats why he does that.

  • i'll never play again, fuck it!!!

  • Before jugding him listen to his music.

    He has got alot of different types of albums and some are pure shred fest , some are so melodic they can makke you cry , some are heavy as shit and some are just pure rock with super cathcy riffs.

    Before saying that he sucks make sure you have heard everything by him.

  • Well said bro.

  • tell you the truth it fucking SUX!!!!

    Just sounds like noice and nintendo sounds

    theres no heart and he's a fucking moron!!!!

    I dont care how fast he is,with out heart he's thrash

  • WOW! you're an idiot...

  • agreed

  • thats what is soo cool about him. he makes sounds that you would think you couldn't make on a guitar. and like 1076rj siadx he has a lot of different styles and sounds. you really do have to listen to his other stuff before you judge.

  • BucketHead = pure talent

  • Did he forget to turn the kill off switch off in figure 5?

  • lol wtf.. what was that puppet saying xD

  • Why do you guys have to prove who Buckethead is, can't there just be some mystery?

  • how do you know who taught buckethead if "nobody" knows who he is... the internet isn't always a credible source for "research",buddy

  • This guy is totally shit!

  • his technique is so exactly like paul gilberts.. is it him??

  • Nah, he's names Brian Carroll, Paul Gilbert taught him classical i believe.Buckets a freak of Nature.

  • Meh... sorry but there wasn't anything that particuarly impressed me with this. I'm sure the shredding is rediculous, but to be honest it all sounds like the guy who thought he was shred god at college, really its just... bum.... Sorry!

  • dude there is no way this guy isnt awsome his stuff is insane and your probibly sitting in your house wishing you could play this good

  • Is that brown mask with gay hair an act or does he really use it to talk?

  • lol I love the little dangly skin shit at the bottom of the severed head that jiggles.... and bucket head is legend, and most only hope to accomplish half of what he can do.

  • he is so damn cool :P.

  • wtf aha that was quality!

  • Legend!

  • Hes not retarded, thats part of his act, thats why hes friggin awsome

  • poor guy man i mean he's awsome and all but....hs head is messed up i'm not saying he's a mentally retarded... but he does have some brain issues...regardless of that he's awsome

  • wtf is wrong with him

  • search youtube for any paul gilbert instructional videos, look how he holds the pick - everyones hands kinda lock up and look arthritisey when they alternate pick at great speeds to ensure accuracy - compare hands. - plus i've heard buckethead play the exact same runs and licks taught in many of gilberts instructional videos whilst improvising solos - I'm not talking about standard exercises - I'm talking trademark licks. - same guy -

  • why does he rub his hand off the wall those couple times?

  • hes softening his fingers so he impacts the strings more smoothly

    like you do it

    when your hands sweat alot

  • whatever works for him, lol

  • Buckethead is without a doubt Paul Gilbert. The way he holds a pick when shredding makes a certain noise that he can't hide. Vai plays too cleanly to hear unwanted pick noises and Slash doesn't shred (he's in a different class of player)... Malmsteens hands are too fat and he's too one-dimensional... and it isn't any of the other mainstream shredders either - Satriani, Petrucci, Romeo, Battio, etc... It's very obviously Gilbert and I can't believe this is still a mystery to people.

  • Try again. Buckethead & Paul Gilbert are 2 different people.

  • Wikipedia says he's some guy named Brian Carroll

  • Yup :D

  • if you trust anything on wikipedia you shouldn't be posting it as fact

  • wikipedia sux, i cud go on there and change stuff, not reliable at all. and how do u know if hes paul gilbert or brian carroll, sides that article makes his skin looks dark. my cuzin is a photographer and i know how the shading/old newspaper shit works. even if shot in darkness with a flash his skin wudnt be that dark. have u seen his hands? totally diff, diff guy. buckethead is jus a guy that can play the guitar really really good. thats all (he is a bad ass too)

  • I don't think they approve all articles. Certain needs must be met before they approve it, many. For example, you can't be an idiot. So, that counts you out.

  • dude bucket head is like 1.5 feet taller than paul

  • i love the robot computer noise he can make thats so fucking awesome

  • Oh god, Buckethead must be on crack!

  • is that buckethead talking? and what the fuck is he saying? I can't understand anything. all I understand is SIC GUITAR PLAYING.

  • some people say that steve vai is actually buckethead

  • lol @ ignorant ppl comparing Buckethead to Slash. B-head is way above Slash's legue. Oky, so what if you like the 'Sweet child'solo? That's your opinion.But Buckethead being able to shred Slash to the ground, is a fact.

  • weird... but impressive

  • he's not paul gilbert ... his name's brian carrol

  • His hands sure look like paul gilbert's, so no doubt why people think he actually IS paul gilbert.

    James Root of slipknot/stone sour out play him anyday, hell i could out play him

    You also have homosexual tendencies...point?

  • yes he fuckin owns! :D

  • I so wish I could just goto work everyday with that mask and bucket on my head... not talk to anyone just kinda exist. Oh well, next life!

  • James Root of slipknot/stone sour out play him anyday, hell i could out play him

  • hahahaha u think that slipknot are telented, WOW man, learn some music theroy and come back next week dush!!

  • Don't be so compelled by what your mother tells you.

  • bullshit

  • lol...awesome

  • Where can I buy a mask like his?

    lmao.

  • hahaha he is creepy but insane

  • The man is scary as hell..but he's got some serious skill.

  • i just recently heard of buckethead i thoguht this guys this guy was amazing can anyone tell me what albumns songs etc i shud pic up and bucketheads awsome lol hes weird but thats what makes hi mso kool lol

  • just look him up on the web and anything will be amazing.

  • get the albums i listed up a few comments,if you had to get three,get"electric tears",praxis"transmutaion",an­d"the elephant man's alarm clock"for a taste of his emotion,scope and talent.

  • Well Then I Wish I Could Be A Shitty Musician Like Buckethead

  • population override! what a great album

  • Buckethead is the MASTER axeman...no doubt!

  • what the fuck does someones face have to do with their skill? think before u speak, buckethead could kick slashes ass with one hand, i have yet to hear anything amazing come from slash and iv heard about a billion amazing things come from buckethead

  • oh my...i like bucketheads skill, but how the hell can you compare buckethead to slash? slash is nothing compared to buckethead, so please atleast give buckethead a worthy opponent

  • Ok now your typing bullshit! Slash did The Godfather Theme, until accomplished by him was assumed to be impossible to play it to the Quality it deserves... He got the rhythm and EVERYTHING for lack of a better word "Perfect".

  • Shitty? Irrelevant, Tyler. I've been a fan of Buckethead's for over a decade - he is a guitarist of astonishing range and capabilities...including nunchucks. I can not think of another guitarist in the current generation that can touch him. Odd, yes. But a true master.

  • Truthfully, I don't remember writing that. My post doesn't make any sense.  Either way, I don't like Buckethead's stuff. I've never been into that type of music (no, I'm not some rap loving douche bag).

  • Until he shows his face, buckethead is a shitty musician in my book.

  • That's probbaly one of the most stupidest things to hate a musician. Your choice of music must be all superficial, that you only focus on someones looks. Grow up.

  • you might as well be saying that john mclaughlin is a crappy guitarist until he shows you his cock,fruitcake.i'm guessing you're 10 years old,huh?

  • AHAHAHA LOL funny shit.

  • the only reason being you are a stupid.

  • for the tabs to this go to my profile on here and click view full profile in the little top box of the profile and the address to get the tabs will be there, but read the information i included too.

  • i like bucketheads music but i just dont like buckethead cuz hes so ...weird...

  • what's so great about "normal?"

  • i know... i know...

    im not the person who thinks different ppl are weird.

    buckethead just needs to be a bit more social...i didnt really get nethin on the tutorial. hes cool just needs to speak up

  • play it over and over again and put the volume up and listen close....its kinda hard but i got it after a while

  • bucket puts out something like 5 cd's a year while slash puts all his efforts into a few albums every couple years or so;he should put out more solo stuff like "obsession confession",then again he might simply not have the same work ethic bucket does.if you've heard "too many humans","the andriod of notre dame",or "thai fighter swarm" and are talkin smack,the wool's still over your eyes.

  • if all you've heard of him is "colma","monsters and robots","enter the chicken",or the c2b3 album you haven't heard jack shit;not that those albums aren't great,it's just that most only hear those and judge him by that work.slash is awesome too,but compare him post-gnr stuff(snakepit,revolver)and there really is no question that even his best solo from those bands isn't as diverse as the best solo bucket's come up with in the same 10 year period.

  • for everyone that thinks buckethead isn't heavy,check out "cuckoo clocks of hell";for those that think he's incapable of heart-felt playing,listen to "electric tears" or the shin terrai album;and for those who think his technique and skill are simply sub-par you NEED to hear "population override","the elephant man's alarm clock",and "kalideoscalp" before you torch a musician you know next to nothing of.

  • You tell em rezzy

  • killswich

  • What's with that red button he keeps pushing?

  • turns treble on and off without static to make a darastic change in sound.

  • shallow comments comming from ignorant peeps still going, wtf? Fine, Buckethead is not for everyone, get over it and stop posting "Buckethead sucks" in every BH thread!

    why keep watching BH clips and posting i hate BH over and over?! get the hell off my internet!

    *end rant*

  • You've obviously not heard his albums nor heard him play piano. He's got his technique down and can play as relaxed as he wants and paw the wall without a thought. It's not the end-all, be-all, but who is? You think you're the best, you stop learning.

  • Incidentally he plays bass VERY well also. These fucking debates are so inane, every guitarist I've seen listed in this thread are amazing and among the best in the world.

    Why do we always have to build one person up at the expense of others, they're all FUCKING BRILLIANT! As this is a BH post I really find his playing genius, the incredible technique is readily apparent but his diverse style and composition is so eclectic and sublime.

  • There's another vid posted of Dimebag and Kerry King practicing guitar together, just fucking around. They were excellent friends. And there were a thousand posts on how one was so much better than the other. Do you think Dime or Kerry gave two tugs of a dead dog's dick what these people think? I doubt it. ;) Thanks for the positive reply. Hope you enjoy playing as much as me!

  • I love bucketheads music, and the only reason people don't appreciate his music is because they have a very shallow taste in music, and dimebag and buckethead are two very different guitarists. they are both very good at different things, you can't say dimebag is better than buckethead just because you don't like his music. you might think it's boring, well then it's obviously not your taste in music, so really, you don't have a right to say anything

  • wtf hes ok guitarist none of shit i would want to listne to over and over like cowboys form hell solo makes you wanna fucke some shit up wtf who the fuck wears a rain coat and weres a bucket on there head i doubt hes even lost his virginity the only thing hes had sex with his fucke dolls head

  • your a fucking queer

  • If I saw him I'd fuckin shoot him in the face then rape his mum..

    What a boring cunt, worst music ever.

  • hes a fucking loser . He may be good at guitar, but hes got absolutely nothing on slash, god hes so fucked up someone shoot him before he ends up raping all the chickens

  • Question: who's better... Dimebag, Danny Gatton, Larry Carlton, Allan Holdsworth?

    Answer: No one. They are all excellent, unique wonderful players. They all have brought something to the art and to music... and we owe them all a debt. So go ahead nd tell me how so and so is 'the best' and he 'owns' and the rest of that horseshit... I guarantee you the people you are idolizing are not as closed minded.

  • 1. Lightning fast picking with surgical precision and the ability to unleash a cascade of notes from your guitar is NOT the end all be all of playing.

    2. Because one guy can do a certain thing doesn't make him better, all it means is that is his technique... of course he's good at it... he's been practicing it his entire life

  • you guys are all children. Bucket head is an excellent player, but so are the others mentioned. Just because Eddie only uses 1 finger to tap, or doesn't have "Al Dimeola" style alt picking... you cvan't discount the magnitude of his importants to guitar playing as a whole.

  • fuck comparing Buckethead to Dimebag. There is no contest. Buckethead can fucking shred like Dimebag PLUS he can chickenpick and play fucked up tapping... idk buckethead just has such a better variaty of things he can play. Buckethead has some of the best technique you will ever see. Dimebag is nothing compared to this.

  • bucketheads music is self indulgent and boring ...so what if hes the fastest shredder or what not...his music is crap.period. go place a bucket on ur heads idiots

  • you people dont know anything.just to sum it up..people who thinks buckethead is the greatest/god are idiots..yes he is for a fact great in his guitar playing..and if you compare him with dimebag..technically he excels BUT! that doesnt mean that he is that all great...majority would rather listen to dimebag than buckethead.its all about the music....

  • I respect Dimebag he's a great legend But Bucket head shouldnt be being compared to him

  • As for Dimebag. Yes he's a legend. But it's mainly pentatonic and legato diatonic. Please do not compare Buckethead to Dimebag. They're about as far removed from each other as possible.

  • Alexi Laiho is one of the dodgiest guitarist i've heard. From what i've seen HE'S overrated. If you believe Buckethead is crap then i think you need to attempt some of those things in the video.

    The guy took lessons from Paul Gilbert and alot of his technique comes from PG so if you call him crap and then say PG can outplay him you're sort of digging a hole.

  • two words CHRIS BRODERICK

  • yeah, I'm now convinced Buckethead is the greatest guitarist alive when it comes to sheer ability.

  • hardcorepanterafan, go suck off the remaining members of Pantera. Buckethead will decimate all the players you listed with his technique. Go take your meds now and get off your parent's computer. Freakin imbecile.

  • I MEAN Hes ok-good on guitar!but hes just nuthing compared 2 Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Dimebag Darrell, Paul Gilbert, Jimmy Page, Vinnie Moore, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Randy Rhoads, Zakk Wylde, Malmsteen, Chris Arvan, or Slash!I MEAN hes overrated!screw buckethead!Alexi Laiho can kick his ass on guitar Alexi Laiho owns!

  • UMM R YALLRETARDED?Bodomx61x is soo right i agree with him completely!FUCK BUCKETHEAD!he is so damn annoying!its pathetic how he has 2 do this gimic shit just 2 be nocticed and recognized nationally!Dimebag Darrell can kick Bucketheads ass, Steve vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Alexi Laiho, Eddie Van Halen, and John Pettrucci own buckethead's ass!

  • the outfit is to do a character... doesnt matter what he wears, i think its pretty funny (in a good way)

  • bodomx61x you just fucking understand NOTHING...

  • Bodommx61x your the fucking idiot if you think buckethead sucks

  • Buckethead, actually Brian Carroll, is fucking good!!!

  • thisguy is a fuckin idiot he has WAY to much time on his hands he should just shut up with the stupid gimmic and play guitar he fuckin sucks....and yo mr. xttocx Dime bag darrell is fuckin amazing he is WAY batter the buckethead will ever be and way better then u'll ever be so dont talk shit...i just cant begin to tell how fuckin retarted you are dimebag is fuckin god of guitar
