[@lucasthompson1650]

He has such absolutely perfect pick hand/fret hand synchronization. Consistently flawless, whether he's shredding, mixing in legato phrases, jumping 2 or 3 strings at a time. Videos don't do the live experience justice though. If you're a guitarist, you owe it to yourself to see Buckethead play live. Even if you don't care for his style of music, seeing that level of mastery over the instrument displayed just a few feet away from the front of your face … man, it's surreal.

[@prolegends9906]

Check out Ewan Dobson. Can't compare the two. But his technique much like bucket heads is amazing. There's no wasted movement.

I completly agree! Buckethead is not only a virtuous, but also a creative composer, good in many style and different musical fields. He is an experimental musician, as well. Moreover, he is an awesome and prolific builder of endless and complex legato. Any guitarists has never made so long chains of notes, like Buckethead. Often I heard his phrases to lenght without break beyond one or two minutes!!!

[@gasmaskedbassist1538]

If I could play the bass half as good as Buckethead shreds on guitar, I would go down as the best shredding bassist

[@rvaugh230]

Blasphemy. Les claypool is the bass version of Buckethead.

[@JustinT0787]

[@richb.4374]

Buckethead also plays bass. Fantastically, about as good as he shreds on the guitar. He used to do bass solo's in his live shows but the gear was too much for him and P Sticks to haul so he dropped it from his show. Check out his bass solo videos...it'll blow your mind.

[@riderofthepalehorsedeathhi4061]

in music my theory is technical skills are important but not as much as striking an emotional core with your audience to do this you have to think like them and know the impact of your music on their emotional state tech skills give you more options so don't beat your self up you have something we all do 😊

[@andrewalexb]

I've just recently discovered Buckethead. What an absolute virtuoso! He's so fun to watch! His notes are so clean and his shredding is magnificent to see and hear. He is astonishing! The bucket and mask add to his mystique.

[@RByrne]

This guy is so sick! He's probably the only guitarist who's shredding I actually find enjoyable(yes I know he's great at all genres). You don't quite get a sense of how tall he is, since his guitar is the size of a pool skimmer.

[@theherbpuffer]

Not a big shred fan so I agree, Buckethead has soul behind it. I also enjoy Dimebags shredding

[@Future_Doggo]

I highly recommend checking out Guthrie Govan, he also puts alot of soul into his shredding.

[@quickstep2408]

i respect that he uses his pinky like a normal hand should... i've seen some guitarists opt to favour using their ring fingers over pinkies by choosing fingering that uses the pinky less, and by shifting their hand positions over to play the 'pinky notes' with their first fingers, thinking it's faster. moving your whole hand versus putting your pinky down? there's no way whole hand movements are ever going to be faster. this is really a bad habit to develop and bad form for a guitarist - it's also very counterintuitive. even django reinhardt would be shaking his head at these players.

[@jethrokeys1438]

Shawn Lane plays using his ring finger more than his pinky, and his playing is not only 10x more critical but so much more musical than BH. Basically he compensates for his skill with musicality. You can't compare the two. It's like chalk and cheese. I can't even begin to describe how much faster Shawn is, check him out and be dumb founded.
