I was playing at my local music shop, and a guy asked me if I was playing Bucket Head... I just looked at him like he was stupid and said no...but that was becuase I had no clue who Bucket Head was... After a little research I realized that guy gave me one of the best compliments I have ever recieved. Gimme your thoughts on this freak with more talent in his little finger than van halen had in his whole body.

I'm going to say I have no idea what that is just because i've seen that 13 people have looked here without replying...

He's one of those freaky guitar players, very original and unconventional... Mad props to that guy. I have to say that, although I'm not into that kind of music (or maybe not really, I actually do listen to Primus from time to time), I have to admit I respect that man. Mad skills.

Here's just a taste...

Oh yeah, he's quite an expert on that... and as regards alternate picking and tapping - he ain't a beginner, either! He can play those computer-sounding patterns on his guitar, it reminds me of old computers like Commodore 64 or some kind of a space ship... LOL, you might say I'm odd, but a Buckethead thread ain't a regular talk

He's interesting. Wanky? Yes. I get the impression he's made some good instrumental metal albums, though. I'm not really sure but I want to check them out some time.

haha, the man is simply a genius. He isn't regular in any sense of the word. two hand tapping, 2 finger tapping, 3 finger, 4 finger, sweep picking, alternate picking, pick slides, harmonics, arpeggiated, this dude is a freak! To me, buckethead is a guitar ninja. Have you seen his nunchuku skills?!? he's a bad ass!
