Buckethead - Siege Engine Cover

havent played the les paul for quite some time, im not used to the big neck and crap access to the high frets... i even missed the killswitch a couple times lol.
i tried to play some of the monster licks buckethead plays live but not easy with human-sized hands.
in this video im using:
gibson les paul studio (2004)
marshall MG50DFX
whammy 4 (digitech)
compression sustainer cs-3 (boss)
turbo tube screamer ts9dx (ibanez)
jemini (ibanez)
triple wreck (wampler)
dd-20 (boss)
vox wah

[@atcaw94]

How about you people that gave this guy a thumbs down, post your video covering this song..🙄🙄

[@tapPOOH]

I started by learning the notes on the fretboard and some open chords, then I spent some time on bar chords. I used tabs in the first 6 months or so where I really didnt know any better but then I started learning songs by ear. It was very hard at the beginning and it took me hours to figure out chords/simple licks but of course it gets easier with time.

[@94nolo]

That tone is freaking incredible.

[@MunsonRoyE27]

2:03 Ah the stretch of non-mortal guitarists

[@fmills1583]

Hand cramp at 2:23

[@srenhansen6039]

One of the best guitar covers out of every guitar cover ive ever seen. Damn that was great

[@tapPOOH]

Søren Hansen Thanks man!

[@paulgerber7148]

[@cydonianman]

I can feel my finger joints lock up just watching that

[@albinoslug678]

This video just gets better every time I watch it!

[@Vortigan07]

You've got to be fucking kidding me!! Anybody else spend half the video looking for the vein that you were certain just *had* to be there?!

[@Vortigan07]

You've got be some guitar player even to *think* about covering the GOAT! You, sir, are some guitar player!!

[@tannernagrone]

2:52 couldn’t sound more like Buckethead.

[@yanivicious]

this cover hit my adrenaline glands so hard i had a heart attack

[@nosleeveproductions]

sick cover man this 3-8 stretch is killing me :D

[@rjgreenll]

Amazing cover and truly sick sound! That finger stretch was brutal im sure but you totally nailed it!

[@fatshadow10]

[@Patrick96322]

Wow... I'm tempted to say that was a flawless cover ! You really nailed it ! ... and with Style !!!

[@blackblurable]

[@MarcusWilliam-p3g]

Hard to imagine anything could be better than Buckethead, but…….this was better than Buckethead….!!! WOW!

[@Christales8198]

Great job bro. Sounded fantastic.

[@GamesMobileBR]

Esse alongamento com os dedos é uma marca registrada do Buckethead,e é como se estivesse machucando a minha própria mão,não toco guitarra mas deve ser mega difícil executar esse riff 🎸

[@ExodiaObliterate616]

E é ,justamente por que o Buckethead tem mãos e dedos grandes então pra quem tem mãos menores é bem difícil.

[@Ronald_Jon]

Best cover of the song I've seen so far.. Very nice work...!

[@gustave9744]

i allways come back here to see this performance of yours :D i really love it

[@Timmmmay86]

You and Staten marshall are my fav guitarists right now, keep on rocking~~!

[@tapPOOH]

+Tim Beck Thanks! Straten is a really great player, I wish I could be as good as he is!

[@vinmax19]

[@typhoonwill15]

Thats some crazy playing!! awesome.

[@acidn]

Maybe it's because I'm high as fuck, but this sounds even better than the original. If I had one wish it would be to be as good on the guitar as you. God damn. I mean, shit. How can you be so fast? That shredding.. Perfect.

[@tapPOOH]

+acidn Thanks, personally I dont think this is that good but Im glad you enjoyed!

[@tannernagrone]

How’d it go?

[@Mcsteveberry]

@@tannernagrone 😊 you need to spray paint all hardware white+ i wanna get the headstock re-finished white with a black gibson logo decal and a gold cursive les paul logo decal gold, &&& neck illusions for no fret markers

[@snooze5.56]

Nailed the tone

[@russellsvendsen920]

Fantastic. You're really good. =) Congratulations.

[@maxhertford6410]

Nice cover !

[@Ronald_Jon]

@ TheManiacUzzy.. this cat is really good. I started learning on my own but later decided to take professional lessons. Love the lesson cuz it keeps me focused and fixes errors for the long run. Progress is slow but focused and good. It def takes time and much practice because i get frustrated all the time.. ..hope that helps.

[@zakariyaalaouiismaili2970]

Awsome !!

[@lordiblees]

That pinky is fucking incredible.

[@joepaul9855]

Great!!!!

[@tapPOOH]

I think it is important to stretch in order to avoid potential issues, better safe than sorry.

[@tapPOOH]

@slowgo93 hey, thanks for your support!

[@robingahan1234]

Shit, this is good

[@vkpprt]

Buckethead made me like my long and strange fingers

[@uwegeercken6470]

I love Siege Engine .... by Buckethead. But you are very good

[@jinbrown3270]

art...

[@tapPOOH]

@MrFelipp3X I think the signature les paul has a pretty big neck as well, at least the one i tried did.

[@tapPOOH]

@zn4p thanks, its really hard to play that part, im not even sure its 100% correct but as far as i know its all in E minor.

[@OvationKing]

fantastic cover, man! also, what's on that tiny-ass tv in the background? haha

[@Sasquatch10]

Just a quick question as a beginner, when you started learning guitar, did you go straight to tabs abd such or did you learn chords? As i only own an electric :( any help is appreciated :P and every single one of your covers is damn epic!

[@9unslin9er]

Yeah...you wanna talk about monster stretches? Buckethead plays a baritone Les Paul.

[@tapPOOH]

You are right! Insane isnt it?

[@9unslin9er]

tapPOOH By the way, I actually like your cover better than the original Studio Recording. A lot cleaner tone. I've seen him live at in New Haven, CT several times and you are spot on. I laugh at all the idiots bashing the 490r/498t set. Look at what they do to high gain!

[@tapPOOH]

Thanks! It means a lot to me!

[@charleswilson6789]

Good job

[@alessandrodortenzio]

Hey Bro! you are really great, keep up doing like that! ;) Just one question, I've the same ampli, so my question is in which input are you linked (direct in front of the headbord) ?and, do you use any configuration on the ampli's knobs? or just go cleaner as you can but taking effects only by pedals?
