Buckethead sweep tap lesson

This is a lesson I made because no one I've seen on youtube, besides buckethead himself, does this technique. I figured out the way of doing it by watching live videos, so there's a possibility there are mistakes in the pattern, but it sounds correct to me.

I realize i was vague in explaining it in some areas, but I am open to questions. Just send me a message.

EDIT: I made this a while ago now on a super shitty amp, i can play it now with the full sweep and with better tone.

Dude, you would be good if you'd just tune your guitar! And get a decent tone. God, its so annoying. Your a good player, but cmon dude, get a decent sound.

@theatomizer This was my freshman year at college and I was playing through a 15 watt epiphone starter kit amp, probably the shittiest amp of all time. Thats why the tone sucks, I mean hell, theres no options on that thing to even make it sounds better.

And as for the tuning, yea i know i was out of tune, my fault there, but if i've taken a little more care in my newest videos to make sure my guitar is in relatively okay tuning, i mean this video is 2 years old

@1withguitar thank you for the tips...but seriously dude with sweep picking, i don't have much problem anymore,,,tapping with my pinky is what really pisses me off, up until now...

[1withguitar]

@tabotabojayar Dude it shouldnt take that long thats ridiculous....your methods of practicing might be flawed then, Get a metronome and go to 40 BPM playing 16th notes and hit every single note until your brain and hands sync and you build muscle memory, i started sweeping 2 months ago and i can almost hit every note at a reasonable speed.

i think your strings and guitar needs a funeral cause they sound dead

[tabotabojayar]

ahhhhh....daaaammmnnnn....tapp­ing with my pinky feels almost impossible for me...i've spent years learning how to sweep...and now....it willbe more yaers of practice....i guess i'll never get to where i really want, cause my life would be spent practicing.....
