Buckethead - Siege Engine

[@marksteiger7114]

My brother recently told me I should watch this so here I am. My brother was a huge Buckethead fan and wore a hat with Buckethead on it everyday. In memory of my brother Wayne Edward Steiger 09/11/1964 - 06/16/2021 FUCK CANCER!

[@stuckonthepuzzle]

I'm so sorry for your loss

[@laertixc5]

Sorry for your loss, i hope you will enjoy his music as much as your brother did.Fuck cancer it took people away from us all.

[@Muddytrickle]

My brother turned me on to Buckethead back when he chunked out the Praxis albums (early 90's). We saw him live a couple of times together. My brother too succumbed to f'in cancer. I feel ya.

[@ezumach]

I'm a huge Slash fan, but he honestly doesn't hold a candle to Buckethead. The guy get's up on stage with nothing but a guitar and plays a whole concert solo. How many other guitarists could do without lead vocals, and the rest?

Hello from the future

[@IMissBH]

Different styles... love them both. I like gnr better for rocking out and bucket head better for his more emotionally moving tracks

[@nelsonpiedade61]

very,very few. Hendrix sttyll of master only very few.but you can start by lessen some Paul gilbert(one of Buckethed idols) or Frack Zappa,or Steve vay.but you are right,very few can play an all gig by himself´s.

I can play it and I’m 5 4 but it hurts… also the guitar he uses is larger than a normal les Paul

[@jeanneymar2603]

Plus he has an oversized guitar due to his giant hands

[@Buckethead4All]

İ tried just now and i can do that and i feel weird because im 6'2" but my fingers are too little for my height but strangely they flex very good i can max do fret 1 to 7 thats my limit but can't play that comfortable 1-6 is more playable

A master musician. You have to be born like this. Gift of god. You can never learn to play like this if it's not in you to do so.

[@ghoulsarefree]

he has big hands

[@edwinkitowski5178]

You got that right. He was bless with this kind if talent by God at birth. How many people on this planet could duplicate this? Talent on loan from God. Its darn sure not of this world.

[@tapeworm6093]

No mere mortal will never know….My worthless 2 cents say why he dominates the guitar more than anyone else is due a touch of asperger and tons of love from family. But then again speculation never served me well

[@splintergp]

man don't undersell the guy hard training, Buckethead learned from paul gilbert and plays pretty much every fucking day, he released 118 albums in a year, all of those 118 in 2015

[@faulkgough524]

I know it gets said in every Siege Engine live shot.. but god damn.. that solo makes my hand hurt just watching it. that spread is massive. you can tell its taxing on him too. all his other playing, he holds the guitar in roughly the same place... every time I've seen him play that solo, he has to wrench the neck up near him and get his whole hand wrapped up and under the neck.

[@dmitriymode1156]

From 2:04, what an epic. Buckethead is incredible. I wish him health and inner harmony. He is a gift to us

[@Apenation1]

That one part from 0:00 to 5:32...just face melting 😳

[@folioloeil9951]

That damn riff at 2:04 .... DUUUUDE !! 😭😭

[@deckardplisken]

I've always liked Buckethead's use of the Wah pedal, but this version sticks out for me. Totally awesome!!!

[@deckardplisken]

That riff he goes into at the 2:06 marker just looks straight up impossible to play. Truly amazing.

[@OuzoPator]

+deckardplisken i guess its actually the easiest part ^^ but amazing though

deckardplisken this might be when he was using Stilettos. It’s a big, full sounding amp that soaks up the wah really well and responds well to vibrato. Not so great in other areas as evidenced in the intro tone. Just not enough grit

[@tannernagrone]

This specific version is of siege engine is by far the best. The little fill ins he did 0:10 1:08 1:13 1:46 2:40 we're nothing but spectacular. And the solo was perfection. Couldn't ask for a better show from Buckethead

I just started listening to this guy about a year ago and I seriously deprived myself of some serious guitar work. He is just an absolute master of his craft at no matter what kind of feel or mood he's putting in his playing. No matter what style of music he has no problem getting his message across.IMO he needs to up there with the greats.

Seeing someone able to do something THIS perfect makes me feel like me being birthed into this world was a huge natural mistake. Like, there exist people that have this kind of talent... and then there's me.

[@Meltman42]

Buckethead obsessively worked his ass off to be this good. And maybe some if it is a gift from God, but he put the time in again and again for most of his life. Let it encourage you, not discourage you. His talent is a testament to hard work.

It's why I'm such a MASSIVE Buckethead fan. These vids on tube lure me in overnover. I can't get enough of them. Buckethead is just a huge talent, and I think millions know it, and love him for it, but does HE know how much? I don't think so. If he knew how much of a fan I was..... he'd mail me a toy.

The way he rips that engine sound with his Gibson is machine precision. Unbelievable buckethead in his prime.

[@johnr3369]

The really interesting thing is that Buckethead is the master of the simple Major Scale. If you want to play like Buckethead, learn the basic Major Scale and learn to move it into every degree. Supplement with divergence into the Harmonic Minor, and occasional Pentatonic, add some Chromatics, and you have most of what he does. However, now practice this for 100,000 hours and you may get close to his skill with these simple tools. Have fun! Cheers!
