[@AdamSteinzOfficial]

Pebber Brown (Buckethead's first guitar teacher) actually drove Big B to a lesson or two with Paul, as well. Anyone familiar with Pebber Brown will tell you that Pebber is a VERY thorough teacher (learned from Pat Martino, Russ Tuttle, Allan Holdsworth, Dick Grove, etc.), and Pebber will tell you that Buckethead was extremely DISCIPLINED and definitely came to class prepared. His chops are absolutely PHENOMENAL. It's great to see Paul and Jason share some of their experiences with Big B.!

[@MajinWamu]

I'm quite curious at what time and age he started taking lessons with Mex McGuire. He was also my teacher when I was very young. He used to got to a place called Gaurd's music. Some of the old guys who have been there forever still remember seeing him when he was known as just Brian.

[@3halfshadows]

Pebber Brown is great. Love his videos and humour. I may suck at guitar but what I do know I learned from his videos.

Back when he was a mere human, before he was a FUCKING LEGENDARY musician, composer and guitarist.

[@manifestgtr]

Buckethead is one of these dudes that might possibly be appreciated more when he’s gone…like a Henry Darger or HP Lovecraft type pop culture personality. The general public, at large, has just never been “ready” for what he does…even dating back 30 years. I have to admit that I reside in that category, myself. I’m a guitarist so I’ve always appreciated his undeniable ability and when I DO listen to his stuff, it’s incredibly thoughtful and artfully executed. But he’s just so prolific and so antiestablishment…some artists need to be absent for the culture to finally step back and fully examine their work. Beyond that, they need an influential champion who says “dude, look at this insane accomplishment that *nobody* seems to know about”. Buckethead has always resided in that category, in my mind…like a living HP Lovecraft whose work has yet to be uncovered by western civilization.

[@NatterNet]

Totally agree, man. And same for me, was a huge Metallica fan and then got tired of them (still like the, but certainly not a go to band for me anymore).

[@The_Kevinist]

NatterNet They’ve been around for well over 3 decades and what have they done in 30 years? Put decent albums then Load came and it started to go down and then today they have Rob Trujillo(which on his own, literally blows them all out of the water doing dolphin flips in the process) which is kinda cool and a bummer because dude could probably kill it in a death/prog setting Hell i even think he’d fucking make some amazing latin fusion metal with flamenco chops here and there James Hetfield is a solid downpicker and he still has some new solid riffs and shit but at this point they’re just beating a dead horse altogether I feel like if they’d get rid of Lars and Kirk, replace them with dudes who aren’t going to musically deteriorate and develop some kind of musical amnesia Kirk has always been a one trick pony show with his pentatonic wanking and the only time Lars was doing “ok” was back in his long hair days when he was constantly coked up and shit and even then he wasn’t really on par with other popular metal bands from back then

[@NatterNet]

@@The_Kevinist Man I feel like all that you just wrote could've been written by me. Totally agree. Rob is a star, James is James-can't really knock the guy, Lars-easy target and then Kirk, I used to be a huge Kirk fan but to watch him play now is hard, I know everyone says it but its just 'wah wah wah' thats all I hear. Even when he plays all the old classics 'wah wah wah'.

NatterNet Yeah, i mean i used to fucking watch the S&M DVD all the time when i was a kid, used to love seeing Kirk shred and shit Many years later, see some video of him struggling to play some basic rhythmic patterns and thinking “what the fuck?” If you look at dudes like Al di Meola, John McLaughlin, Andy McKee, Steve Vai, Vinnie Moore, etc... they’ve been playing as long if not more/less than Kirk Wahmet, yet you look when they were younger and today.. you can clearly see the progression Whereas with Kirk.. it’s quite the opposite, he went from his peak spiraling downwards and the only thing going for him is doing a bunch of wild crazy sounds with a fucking wah pedal Look at Lars too.. it’s as if they never really took it seriously

@@The_Kevinist Yeah, man. I guess money talks. They got tons of it, always sell arenas so don't feel the need to progress in any way. I watched a video the other day of Kirk playing 'When Doves Cry' by Prince, it was brutal!! That "Kirk Wahmet" made me piss myself haha genius.

Buckethead is amazing and prolific. Can do anything. Max Ostro is sorta like the 'Son of Bucket' Neither one care about what is normal or being 'recognized'. They just have the gift.

Saw buckethead last night, amazing that's all I have to say, but! If your planning on going to see him it kinda sucks that it's one dude on stage in nearly sold out conditions. So hard to see what he's doing.
