Buckethead Solo Lesson Pt 1 Shred Lick Natural Minor Scale

[HmclPride]

You helped me so much with this video! Thank you soooooo very much!

[EpicFoodComments]

did you steal that shirt from KassemG?

[mlgudead]

@EpicFoodComments hahaha... this is like the third comment about that... I didnt have a clue who kassemg was when I got the first one

[EpicFoodComments]

@mlgudead haha. hes a boss. as is are ur lessons

[polipoli8]

Best lesson ever thanks buddy!

[hdp26]

lol that guitar is oversized, you hardly reach 5 frets

sure the guitar is cool and expensive but is just oversized you'll get a hand injury

[mlgudead]

@hdp26 its not the signature, which has a 27" scale, this one I custom built and it has a standard banjo scale, which is 26.188" the oversize on the body is a normal les paul plus the binding thickness, I made it the largest scale I felt comfortable playing

[VoraciousBlood]

@hdp26 For the Buckethead´s Fingers XD

[xXJackXSmithXx]

i love you! thank you so much for this lesson! :D

[seth3556r]

@1newbucketheadcover1 that isn't a killswitch, its the place where the pickup switch used to be, he moved it and filled in that space

[mlgudead]

@seth3556r it actually is a killswitch, its the same model size everything as the other, just its white instead of red

[wrigleyx]

your LP is really cool, looks better with the tune'o'matic and kill switch in white!

[nvrbeab]

Nice bro!

[mlgudead]

@1newbucketheadcover1 It was just one of my original add ons, just like the storm trooper truss rod cover, I figured I would have the functionality of his signature but the look of his custom shop models.

[IGLIAS1]

@mlgudead have you done a video on nubbing yet ???

Thanks

[mlgudead]

@IGLIAS1 I believe so... but I think it was just a webcam stream, I never titled it or anything, I'll PM you the link to it

[doom666kratos]

Licks of Paul Gilbert...

[ncripzx]

i dont get all this scale stuff how does a key depend on abcdefg can someone just explain to me for example why d minor scale is called d minor scale when it simply goes abcdefg like all the rest ? will be very thankful for speedy replies so i dont remain an idiot forever

[rykrodflo]

misspeled the title at scale..

[mlgudead]

@rykrodflo lol thanks, ill fix it

[squiresuzuki]

Nice vid, but technically that's the Lydian mode, not the natural minor. The lydian mode has the major 3rd, tritone, and major 7th whereas the natural minor (aeolian) has a minor 3rd, perfect 4th and minor 7th.

I know next to nothing about guitar but I'm just looking at some cool videos, thought I'd share my knowledge.

[mlgudead]

@squiresuzuki I am completely self taught on all this stuff so correct me if I sound stupid please, but if you that the natural minor and the lydian modes, and over lap them, they line up perfectly if the natural minor chart is moved up to the 3rd, the thing that separates the two is that the 3rd for natural minor is a minor third, again I could be completely off cause I am completely self taught

[squiresuzuki]

@mlgudead Yes, you're 100% correct, but if you go by that logic, then this video title could be 7 different things (ionian, dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian, aeolian, locrian). The thing is that that scale is centered around G, and the intervals/steps make it lydian (although it shares the same notes as D Major, b minor, etc.)

[marinzg97]

thanks ur awesome!! i downloaded this vid on my ipod and im getting better and better every day thanks to you! :)

[SensiRootsBoy]

Kassem G would approve of your shirt

[PASKA7000]

nice wolfshirt dude

[BalloonRace]

Hey! I'm the 'guy with the strat'. Thanks for the mention! Haha. That's a relly nice guitar. Especially if you put it together yourself.

[InDerLadeAlter]

did you also have the bridge, screws, and tuners powder coated? how thick is the coating? can you still move the saddles?

[yvesttt]

awesome!! for affording that Buckethead Luxury Guitar..

[mlgudead]

@yvesttt I am assuming that you don't realize that I built this one, its not the signature, but none the less thanks

[4Blunts2Jays0nlyCron]

@mlgudead

dam foo that neck musta took you forever

[deadeye146]

@mlgudead It looks almost spot on except for the gold hardware and other red button, other than that you got it :) great video too

[TheErnestoVidales]

Dude great video! But that lick is from the Lydian mode, not the natural minor scale

[mlgudead]

@TheErnestoVidales I don't know a ton about modes but isn't all the mode spacing the same, its the root note that dictates what step falls where, so I am technically playing this in both C Aeolian and A Lydian, again I don't know a lot about modes, so if you can educate me please explain, :)

[TheErnestoVidales]

@mlgudead Well it would be a bit long to explain here but if you wanna learn more about modes you can look for the vinnie more video about modes :) I hope that helps

Greetings

[radioHIM]

tanks man :)

[radioHIM]

can you send me the tabs please :)

[mlgudead]

@radioHIM tab is posted as a video response to this lesson :)

[ThomasDemko]

hi im having difficulties with the 11-9-8-9-11 part after the 7-11-7-10-11-10-7 part. its probably in the video, i think it is but cant hear you clearly. how do you pick that certain part? cos i could barely make it sound without keeping up the paste which i could do easily if i just hameron the entire thing.

[mlgudead]

@ThomasDemko to correct you first it should be 7-10-7-9-10-9, 10-8-7-8-10, every note that I pick I will place a p after, I normally start half way into the second so on the second string starting out, 7p-8-10, 1st string, 7p-10p-7-9p-10p-9-7 2nd string 10p-8-7, this is almost the technically legato way, meaning you pick every ascending notes along with the first note played on a string, anything that is being pulled off you shouldn't pick, hope this helps, if you need more help just message me

[Abon666]

Is that Les Paul heavy?

[mlgudead]

@Abon666 its not the signature if you are confused about that, but it way 9 lbs 4 ounces, average les paul weighs 8.8 I think just so you can gauge it

[Brentypooz]

Good vid :)

[KingSirFatness]

Ya man can you also send me a tab of the arpeggio you show at 4:28, thanks

[mlgudead]

@KingSirFatness I will type it up and post it as a vid response to this,

[xOsamaHamedx]

Hey can you give me the tabs for bucketheads main arpeggio, please and thanks

[mlgudead]

@xOsamaHamedx main arpeggio? wanna send me a link of buckethead playing it or explain a little more. I am more than willing to help I just have no idea what you are talking about.

[xOsamaHamedx]

@mlgudead right at 4:30

[mlgudead]

@xOsamaHamedx I will type it up and post it as a vid response to this,

[mlgudead]

@deepwater909 easiest way to remember, staccato=short note, legato=long , see the L and the L, and the S and the S match, dont mean to be rudely obvious but im typing this so I wanna make sure I get the message across. Pretty much a staccato note is like the big sur moon stuff, where you always mute the note right after you pick it, legato would be when you are "shredding" but not picking every note, you let a note ring out and you hammer on or pull off to make the picking points longer apart

[bitchslapper12]

Isn't that "Natural Minor Scale" mixed of different modes? Which modes are these? (1,2,3,4,5)?

[bizzle1783]

@bitchslapper12 hey man go to guitar lessons 365 and look for 3 notes per string major scales.in this context the guy is starting from the shape built fom the 4th note of the scale e.g Dmaj,Emin,F#min,Gmaj,Amaj,Bmin­(natural min)C#min7b5,so you would have ionian,dorian.phyrigian,lydian­,mixolydian,aeolian,locrian, really he is starting from G lydian,you can start the scales from anywhere you like but if you don't put emphasis on the root notes you may struggle to hear the tonality

[GetaKillSwitch]

im working on the welcome to buckethead solo figure for a while and its still confusing :D
