_________________________
The best Big Sur Moon version ... in my opinion!;) I just editied the first part of the original video by chazuke. Thanx!

[@Yellowfver783]

The mortal kombat riff at :55 in the middle of Big Sur moon is legendary

[@Hourglass36]

I was going nuts trying to think of what it was, thanks

[@PillowFerret]

still loving this song til then

[@maxvincent5584]

Top gear intro snes

[@Riffsovdeath]

[@JohnPaulBuce]

😂

[@akhilgusain2866]

[@llamamusicchannel7688]

"He's brilliant; I love him. But then you see some guy like Buckethead… Buckethead is probably twice as good a guitar player as me and Slash combined, and can stand having fried chicken rubbed up against his face all night for a couple of hours." Dave Mustaine

[@kadewoodtechfolder]

he is the best at on stage improvisation. you can hear parts are different on the original, and i prefer the live versions to the original.

[@ethansmith4202]

listen to van halen eruption live

[@ScottSmith-ln7he]

Amazing that most of this is up-picking!!!!

[@BEHEDETY]

yay!

[@matthewd6306]

He's not picking very fast, it's 8th notes. The delay is doing most of the work.

[@william9385]

Most? I believe its all up picking.

[@kevinmyers8643]

All up picking bruh

[@kevinmyers8643]

Matthew D be fair... and 8th notes yeah. Fast 1/8th notes......But if this man decided to pick fast he'd create a black hole.

[@dylanlazo778]

The best version of Big Sur Moon

[@highquality1979]

Thank you all for your comments. Indeed, this is one of the greatest versions, like i said. At one point the song starts sounding like electronic music .. its so weird and cool. He's the King without a crown.

[@AzsryEdits]

Are you kidding how is that bucket not a crown?

[@Iamzrussianspy]

Azsry Exactly! If I was a king I would rather wear a bucket. Who need super expensive crowns anyways, I would rather look demented

[@Synsei7]

If you guys haven't heard shadowbeatz remix of Big Sur Moon you should. It sounds very much alike.

[@dermop6600]

It is the best version of that piece by far...

[@highquality1979]

Sorry, my fault^^ You're so right! :)

[@mrmidrift]

acoustic version is fuckin epic.

[@danieln6613]

0:54 Just figured out that part is Mortal Kombat theme, can't believe I didn't notice it earlier

[@poison4822]

Your profile pic matches with your comment

[@toximan2008]

I was today years old when I figured this out for myself

[@octoowen1234]

This is my favourite version of big sur moon by far

[@barrontrump3943]

Me too sounds like a legendary campfire version

[@xXxpedrosvxXx]

0:54 sounds like the coolest mortal combat cover

[@nathrob2437]

That's because it is

[@serega4087]

Big sur moon is the most beautiful song of all time❤❤❤❤

[@kimandrew3095]

Amazes me more than any other guitarist.Straight up gifted!

[@th3s3rv37]

People should be aware that he wrote the music for Mortal Kombat.

[@thebesttoeverexist]

donkey kong country

[@nathrobinson5149]

i think you should be aware that you are wrong,, the immortals wrote the mortal kombat theme, its called techno syndrome and buckethead is not a part of the immortals.....

[@th3s3rv37]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckethead#References 1988-94: Early solo career and Praxis ------ READ IT Maybe not wrote, but deffo expanded

[@nathrobinson5149]

the only thing i found on mortal kombat ns this in that whole reference is this ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYvccpWZp71_osk ....... which doesn't actually have anything to do with the orginal MK theme or the people that produced it.

[@tannernagrone]

He did the power rangers theme and mortal kombat

[@EkpyroticBounceHouse-DunderDan]

After going to a show, I understand why the crowd is basically silent. I was stunned speechless

[@Spaceman-jo5mz]

Just found out about Buckethead two days ago. Can say he is my favorite

[@lukemcclendon2412]

Probably my favorite version of Big Sur Moon

[@Urnzyhorny4u]

[@stoictraveler1]

Damn that quality...thx dude...

[@Jester-15]

Guau......

[@thefunkykrumpet5164]

Fucking magical moment.

[@rdog421]

HE HAS A BUCKET ON HIS HEAD!

[@pivotproBT]

Started learning this yesterday and im almost done but what effects I need to get it sounding the same???

[@spakentruth]

You need a delay like a pedal or something, usually thats what gives it that rapid fire sound

[@TheoTattaglia]

probably a delay pedal

[@squiresuzuki]

A digital delay. I've tried it with an analog delay and it doesn't sound quite right --- you definitely need the clean repeats that a digital delay gives. Buckethead (like many others) probably uses a Boss DD7 (or 3/5/6/9)

[@icreator4338]

Andrew Suzuki I have a dd7 can u tell me the settings?

[@squiresuzuki]

I, Creator well, i think this song is around 300ms delay. in other words, it should repeat every 1/3 of a second. you can adjust the feedback level and volume to taste. then when playing, you have to experiment to get the right groove, just start playing slow quarter notess and slowly increase until it sounds like it's repeating back in an even way like in this vid. then start playing other notes.

[@MEMDesigns2023]

Just realized the dude has a foot for a hand

[@klisinarya5271]

like ewan dobson played

[@thevitorcampos]

If there is aliens living among us, for sure he is one of them

[@Rajonty]

Does anyone know what guitar he is using?

[@vitamin.c9778]

Rajiv Injety don't know the exact model but the most accurate one is the ibanez GA5TCE Thinline, it's only 240 usd and sounds awesome!!

[@volvotis753]

Gibson Chet Atkins signature

[@444bid3]

Chet sig

[@TheDoReMiFaSolLaTiDo]

Idk why it says acoustic version, if it was recorded with a acoustic.

[@cinematicsterling6897]

he occasionally plays it with his electric

[@davep8221]

His hands are *huge*. The look like Steve Howe's.

[@paulovcg10]

holy fuck this just got me depressed

[@MaydupNem]

those hands are concerningly large

[@facelesscovers763]

...

[@jerof5497]

[@joaogabrielmagalhaeslima4379]

God?

[@CorM1]

Nice, but almost the same as TIME 2 from Ewan Dobson

[@jayfraser3188]

TIME 2 by Ewan Dobson was released about 12 years after the original Big Sur Moon recording. Blame Dobson, if you want to blame someone.

[@josh4106]

[@TONGA09]

Yes.
