Buckethead - Computer Master - Wetlands, NY 4/30/97

Giant Robot plays Computer Master live at the Wetlands, New York on April 30th 1997.

REMASTERED AUDIO- This video will have better sound quality than the other versions on youtube because I synched the soundboard audio with the video's audio.

I wish I knew who sped this film up...ALL Wetlands footage has been sped up slightly...

[jedisjumphigh2]

@TaxideaTaxis yup I noticed this too... wasn't me, it was probably a byproduct of the conversion from VHS to digital

Whyd he change his picking style to reverse angle picking? At least that looks like what hes doing, its definitely different from what he does nowadays.

[jedisjumphigh2]

@partlyshady what do you mean by "reverse angle picking"

[partlyshady]

@jedisjumphigh2 See how he holds the pick at a 45 deg. angle with his wrist cocked back and his thumb rigid starting around 0:23? Ive never seen him play like that before. Everytime he goes to shred in this video he does that.. Im thinking that maybe he started to get hand/finger problems from playing like he usually does and changed up his technique for a while.. just a guess

[jedisjumphigh2]

@partlyshady yup. Holding your pick at that angle is ideal, even when not shredding... not sure why he changed

[iluvbuckethead]

Poor ESP........ stupid gravity.......

[guitarMaster666Poop]

He holds his pick lyk Shawn Lane in this video...perhaps he picked it up from him.

@jconasesameseedbun I mean everyone has their own opinion which is cool but Hendrix couldn't do half of what Bucket could do on a guitar, he had neither the speed nor technical ability, and Bucket can play wish just as much feeling when he chooses to.

@jconasesameseedbun Keep lying to yourself

@19845150o yup...his pinky is probably longer than my index.

@partlyshady shawn lane used the same technique, guess he picked it up when he got lessons from him. He may have changed when he started learning with pebber brown.

@jedisjumphigh2 Paul Gilbert, thats why

[jconasesameseedbun]

i still think jimi hendrix is a better guitar player

[StopRunningKid]

@jedisjumphigh2 D --> That is interesting, but I think he did it to get a sharper note per pick. Notice that it sounds scratchy when he shreds (video quality aside).
