[nightlighter117]

This sucks ball sack he hits random frets and picks fast I see no melodic notes being hit. Steve vai is melodic dimebag Darrell he's melodic Marty friedman is melodic bucket never and never will be melodic. All you ppl who like buckethead can suck my big fat cock.

[bordertown]

@nightlighter117

These are meant to be exercises designed for players to practice different playing techniques. If you didn't know that then it proves you have no real understanding of the guitar whatsoever.

[UnknownSect333]

@nightlighter117 Obvious troll is obvious.

[YoLpIsBest]

@nightlighter117 These are exercises you dumb fuck. Go listen to his actual songs before saying shit like that.

[rigby102010]

[MockBlue]

He's no Mick Ronson that's for sure!

[UdoXP]

This is retarded with the no talking and stupid fucking bucket. What a douche.... last clip I watch with this loser in it.

[SunbeltRyders]

@UdoXP First of all people who wear masks are cool have you ever heard of Michael Myers or Doctor Doom? They're movie stars who receive oral sex daily, this guy obviously practices guitar.

[Governm3nt]

I thought we was going to fall backwards in his chair for a moment.

[huskvarsm]

As an avid guitar nut of over 40yrs ive avoided listening to guys like this period and i will apologise im a big becker moore cooley and halen fan and this guy can sit with any of them a very awesome axeman.

[garyshermanII]

Stay! Good wall.

[guitaro5000]

[fretbored1974]

my favorite guitar player other than Allan Holdsworth.

[MrFelipp3X]

[AngelOfNight9]

@MrNewmessage Are you kidding me? He has entire albums with no shredding of slow music that's full of feeling..

[AngelOfNight9]

@MrNewmessage He's the most rounded player out there

[MrNewmessage]

bullshit x 1000

[TheTohkonChambers]

buckethead is retarded.and bucketbots are stupid brainless zombies.

[JivaJeff]

[akashrockzzthegreat]

[VertigonA380]

[DutchLegacy666]

it sounds so AWESOME!

[Satchfan96]

what kind of building is he in? an asylum?

[banditopilot]

hey plays nice. but I fly a jet.

[seanstermc]

Some people are saying that they "learnt nothing from this lesson", but I think we all learnt something very valuable from this video: not to fuck with buckethead.

[TheVikingWorrier]

he used to be a normal guy, but then he took a bucket to the head.

[KickflipKickflipx3]

@TheVikingWorrier He used to DANCE with the JABBAWOCKEEZ (the mask is uhh), and THERE he took the BUCKET to his Head.

[TheVikingWorrier]

@TheVikingWorrier damn! to see a comment with i copyed from another Buckethead video and posted wrong on this site, It still got alot of credit.

[polkadotpuss]

not a fuckin lesson just display of strength

[kbucher1977]

why would anybody dislike this?????

[DancingSpiderman]

The Soul in the music of BucketHead could CURE the drug habit outta Snuffalafagus. If the Reality of the soul in this music cannot cure your drug addiction, you were Lost to begin with.

"Heyyy, Bird... I need some Smack, Bird..."

[CometShoot000]

sadly, he only had one lesson video :(

[greek101101]

3:09 I could see someone doing this in an insane asylum. I love Buckethead

[Mariguanamastuh]

I wonder if buckethead ever gets pussy with a hat like that...

[godflorys]

@Mariguanamastuh

he gets all the Chicks.... KFC

[astroboirap]

scary.... but a shit a lesson

[mugofdoom]

I've learned absolutely nothing from this besides that I should give up trying to learn guitar. Not that I'm going to.

[TheRealOzzy]

2:50 LA MASCARA DEL CHAVO?!?!?!?!?

[matyviola]

ahaha 2:32 epic

[trisnjok]

this is Asian difficulty...

[TheQRDL]

It is not human, it is ROBOT

[DEL1SLE]

He uses the bucket to hide his circuits...

[xenonnati]

@DEL1SLE

circuits ? haha buckethead is way more advanced then to use primitive technology like that.

why would the aliens build their insane mute android (who communicates with humans on a different level trough shear beauty and power of sound) him with our tech?

[DEL1SLE]

@xenonnati You may be on to something

[KeepOffTheGreen]

LMFAO...... A lesson huh???? LOL!

[DarkoLoq86]

Lesson? I can't imagine what graduated can do.

[1fireghost]

Slash's Daddy.

[SadisticThrasher]

when i saw this, i looked at my guitar and even my guitar went, dude not gonna happen

i

[Maafa1619]

How long is this guy going to stick with that stupid Bucket-head shtick. Enough already, you silly bastard.

[TheHybridlogic]

This lesson was for the god, not for us human.

[DeathMetalIdol]

It says edited because he fucked with the timing, he slowed it down 800x

[hernan1081]

30 years i will want to be the half good of this guy

he is the number 8 of the best guitarrist of all time!!! imagine the first

[TheY2Jerochoholic]

@hernan1081 Jimi Hendrix

[StylerSAH]

I showed this my guitar and sayed play but he dont play this pls help

[fluffle22]

@thebehmont1 - You embarrass yourself just by existing

[thebehmont1]

@fluffle22 - Atleast i know something about playing guitar and im not a fucking troll who just cant admit that the best guitarist in the world is actually somebody who isnt a money whore or a spotlight monkey and doesnt want to show us his face cuz' he's intelligent enough to know that it's the music that matters, not the person who plays it

[fluffle22]

@heath919 - Right on brother! this guy is an EPIC FAIL

[SundancePioneer]

The part from 3:08 ist the creepiest thing i have ever seen in my entire guitar life.. like a broken robot.

[heath919]

Failead

[TheMarcuscamby13]

I found figure 3 to be the easiest

[ronnie23cat]

i bet this guy is not a guy but a lady look at that hair....



[djmetallord]

Strange Guy LOL !

[Jellyfishh1]

I wish I had been born as his guitar

[TheGameShow4u]

nice lesson i learnt something alright it turns out im shit :( :)

[MeeowsyMcDermott]

@TheGameShow4u Yes..

[WForWilldetta]

@TheGameShow4u as we all did

[nirolfik]

@TheGameShow4u at least you can learn to hold a guitar :)

[Gakkern]

Now, i want to sell my guitar...

[UncleTito72]

@Gakkern I know. I've turned all my guitars into table tops after this.

[Jakerboy11]

Yeah.................... I CAN'T DO THAT!

[Mafiositorte]

i wish i was the wall... *-*

[crazyrittah]

Damn it Buckethead, I cannot do that. Mine sounds like shite



[maxquad21]

I look at those long skinny fingers and think its Steve Vie. they play exatly the same

[Deffuse07]

Alright, I can do this... here we go... and a one, and a two, and a one, two, three, fouaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarkkkkkoffff­ffff hows he doing that?!?

[satan43]

you know some say that it is chuck norris behind and under that mask and bucket but i disagree cuz chuck norris can never master that so it must be bruce lee then or hes not human and its just some majestic angel come to save the human race from bad music

[JamesIreland]

@satan43 its jesus

[CuresForCurses]

ahh yes... figure 3. now i get it.

[heath919]

Failhead



[thebehmont1]

@heath919 - He's the best guitarist ever lived! Show some respect shit-for-brains

[heath919]

@thebehmont1 plays with a backing track...FAIL!

[thebehmont1]

@heath919 - he plays better than anyone has ever played on this planet...WIN! It doesnt matter if you play with a backing track or not. Please just shut up and dont embarrass yourself anymore

[heath919]

@thebehmont1 playing scales fast is pretty fail

[thebehmont1]

@heath919 - Actually, playing scales fast is extremely difficult! Most guitarists these days are just tremolo picking one string and just moving their left hand of the fret board,that doesnt take talent at all! I told you not to embarrass yourself anymore but you did, you're obviously just an idiot who has never even touched a guitar in his life

[heath919]

@thebehmont1 So you're saying that to be the best guitarist in the world you have to be able to play scales faster than anyone else...YOU HAVE FAILED!

[thebehmont1]

@heath919 - Buckethead can do much more than that!!! Play guitar for atleast 3 years and then comment, you dont know shit about playing guitar if you havent played yourself for atleast that long

[heath919]

@thebehmont1 Hmm good to see that playing guitar is all about technicalities... how many years you've been playing for, how many notes you can play in one phrase, how many fingers you use when playing?? cool man

[thebehmont1]

@heath919 - Buckethead is technically the 4th best guitarist ever but he plays EVERY music genre from techno to brutal heavy metal and he's the best composer alive!!! You should read my comment to this asshole 'fluffle22', it will explain you something. And answers to your questions: - nearly 6 years - as many as it takes - and i use all my fingers, even all my four fingers from my right hand when im doing some Buckethead-tapping excercises

[spacecowboy5150]

@thebehmont1 i agree with u in some aspects. buckethead is amazing, he can shred with the best of em and his acoustic albums are nothing short of beautiful. but as fas as electric soloing goes, his fast scales dont sound that great to me. its just playing as fast as he can, thats why i appreciate vai and satch and classic guys like page moreso than bh. and as far as composing, there are guitarists on the candyrat label that are way better at composing.

[thebehmont1]

@spacecowboy5150 - Check out these songs: Binge and Grab (great solo, no scales), Jump Man, Flock Of Slunk, Sneak Attack (3 minutes of awesome shredding), Warcraft by Praxis. And if you want to hear something so amazingly composed that it would make Mozard jealous, check out: Too Many Humans (probably Buckethead's most beuatiful song, gets better towards the end), Clones, Sea Of Expanding Shapes (Amazing solo!!!!), Rising Sun (The most epic song ever!!!!)

[spacecowboy5150]

@thebehmont1 ya ive heard all those already. i listen to buckethead frequently and i like him, i just wont go as far as saying hes one of the best composing guitarists when i hear guys like andy mckee, erik mongrain, antoine dufour, don ross, vai, satch, andy timmons, stefano barone, ewan dobson, jimmy wahlsteen...hes an amazing guitarist tho, no doubt

[heath919]

@thebehmont1 thebehfail1

[thebehmont1]

@heath919 - Go to hell troll, you've obviously lost our arguement and you know it so you're trying to insult me for some reason, lol. Just admit it, Buckethead is the best guitarist out there or atleast try to make some rational explanations why he would not be the best one. But since you're not doing neither one of those, we have to agree that he is the best one.

[heath919]

@thebehmont1 Well of course, I mean you make such a convincing argument...how could I disagree. All hail queen failhead!!

[thebehmont1]

@heath919 - Im not gonna feed you anymore troll, i already told you million times why he is the best one and there was nothing you could do except for try to act tought, so lets just end it there

[heath919]

@thebehmont1 fail

[theshartmaster]

1:14 he turns into a cat. for a sec.

[guitarguy5154]

easy as pie...a pie of WTF!

[YumYumDandilions]

Why, does he keep rubbing the wall?

[TheGilmer]

@YumYumDandilions He does strange things a lot. It helps create the mystery behind him and build upon his stage character he's made for himself. :P

[shuntensatsu]

figure 4 is Botnus, but this sounds better than original

[yasher4400]

2:17-2:20 A crazy triple riff-TRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDD­DDDDD

HIM HEAD HAVE A QUAKE O_O

[yasher4400]

2:17-2:20 A crazy triple riff-TRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDD­DDDDD

[leozingy]

His fast picking reminds me soooo much of Shawn Lane. Quirky and funny video :)

[Earpollution121]

It would of been hella funny if they handed Buckethead the acoustic guitar and he would of pulled a Murderface and said "What the hell is that wooden thing? A CHAIR?!"

[gojirametallica]

@Earpollution121 grandpas guitars are for fags and grandpas

[baconater4000]

@Earpollution121 im pretty sure he plays acoustic guitar, i know he plays banjo and bass

[20DoseOver]

the only thing that i have learned from this lesson : Don't try to be Buckethead...man play slow so we could see...What kind of lesson is that?? :D:D

[eloisecasey12500]

lol Be ready to jump to the world full of pleasure

[rprdoXD]

Some moments at this video I just can hear, "Suck it Vai" =p

[FrancoSierraVJ]

How does his guitar survives him???

[serser1996529]

I seriously don't see what people see in his solos... They are amazingly boring

[diablo2v2]

ALL HAIL!\

[oceano901]

how the fuck he espects me to do that XD

[emmetwhitey]

@oceano901 I think you should probably learn proper spelling first !

[MrFGunadi]

he's weird but great

[monstermovieman]

i say buckethead is some japanese virtuoso.

[FayteOfRuin]

I GOT THIS :D

[gtarszzz]

man!! that hand got me for a min!!



[s0medudeonline]

I fail to see how this is a lesson

[zuperpaintmanxl]

This is the lesson of life....

[MillenniumEarl014]

That's probably the K.F.C. Manager.

[eminemforlifenoshit]

@MillenniumEarl014 no one of the greatest guitarist that ever lived he against all that kfc shit there feeding the chickens solvent green which is cow shit and inject them with steroids basically so at the age of acouple of months there legs break but there like the size of an adult chicken lol, it's fucked up but anyway

[orionconflict2007]

WICKEDGUITARPLAYER

[Qwik14]

How do we know this is the REAL Buckethead?

[okktok]

@Qwik14

This video is of his DVD.

[jadeedgesigma]

@Qwik14 how do we know any of the buckethead's we see are they real one? what if there's a whole legion of buckethead impersonators out there just cashing in on the original's fame?!?!?!? O.o

[Erockmunnay]

@jadeedgesigma Impossible. There's no way more than one person could play that.

[Qwik14]

@jadeedgesigma :O What IF?? Nah I don't think "other" Buckethead's can shred/face-melt/sweep/make-you­-jizz-every-time-Buckethead-sh­reds just like Buckethead can. Not even Chuck Norris can be Buckethead. Buckethead IS Chuck Norris. Why do you think "Chuck Norris" can do anything! Because Buckethead IS Chuck Norris! So, In concusion, like Erockmunnay said: "There's no way more than one person could play that." It's just impossible... :)

[ramherd77]

EVERYBODY LOVES KFC XD

[SolvingOurKreation]

scary mother fucker...

[oktober250]

Honestly they guys a freak..

Gilberts amazing but this guy has out played him in all ways.

Apart from Shawn lane I can't see how anyone can or could top this for intensity or pushing the boundaries for shred.

Now If he had the vibrato of malmsteen and a few lynch bends..

:)

[DrCake11]

i didn't learn shit O_O

[StrongHeart13]

Does he ever talk

[tcollins297]

hey its paul gilb--! I mean buckethead...

[insanityclown1]

figure 6 <3

[insanityclown1]

freaking amazing

[muscver]

i think i just got fingered by buckethead:U

[Bluesboyfella]

3:24-3:27.. I died a little inside... :D

[kungfudragon99]

a great lesson lol

[nadiyahz]

@merchantofdeath, there would be no

great music if there was not any "crap"

music. Eric Clapton listens to his own

live music from the days of being a junky.

Not only does he call it "crap" he is embarrassed of it. Even goes as far as to

apologias to the people that paid money

to listen to his "crap"E playing.....but Clapton

is lame too...Ya ASS.

[caligulasd]

e eu achando que tinha as palhetadas mais rápidas do faroeste. ^^
