@RegurgiNate I put Buckethead above Govan because of his compositional output, which is both better in quality and higher in volume by, what, a factor of 200? And I'm barely exaggerating
I was pretty good at guitar hero growing up. Can play everything on expert easily. Through the fire and flames at 4 stars, but have still never beat this song on expert once
I can't even begin to explain to non - guitarists how fucking hard this is Van Halen made what this dude does on a god-like level famous, but this dude is still underground It's sad He's a god
he just casually walks on stage in a vision obscuring mask and a literal KFC BUCKET on his head and just plays the sickest shred solo in the history of shred with nubbing, tapping, shredding, harmonizing and killswitching just scattered in the middle. Insane!
@@Darkopolypse98 i just found out that he has some paper so that people cant see his eyes(occasionally) so he is basically playing it blind and doing well!
@@markrobinson8410 Its somewhat his fault. Most of my Big B's favorite songs were just random YT uploads that i found accidently. If he wasn't in GnR most of the planet wouldn't know about him. For example i knew about Les Claypool for God knows how long. But i heard of Big B like 12 years ago. Or more correct started listening to him as a solo artist.
@@brucemcbain3150 He is much better musician than most people think or know actually. Usually people see him as a simple shredder. And that means they don't know much about his music.
This guy is in the top 3 best guitarist of all time it's just my opinion but I think it's Justin Johnson, John5, and Buckethead are the three best all time guitarist ever.
Normally I'd say practice and while absolutely we are looking at a man who plays the guitar for 10 thousand hours a day, let alone in general, I genuinely think dude was born wired different. His brain just knows music. I bet he probably can't do other shit right like tie his shoes or make scrambled eggs but he can do this
***** the Buckethead Signature Les Paul looks outwardly much like a slightly modified white Les Paul Standard, but had been made with an oversized, chambered body.
***** Keep in mind its a guitar made for the Bucket-Man himself, and BH is like 6'6" so he has huge hands and a large frame. That's why his oversized guitar looks like a normal Les Paul (even though its about 30% bigger, and the scale length about two and a half inches longer)
+Marc Kael He has a giant everything. Brian Carroll (Buckethead when he decides he'd rather be out of character) is very tall, close to seven feet without the bucket. And his hands are Paul Gilbert huge. His sig guitar is a baritone length strung in E standard just so it feels normal to him.
I exposed a guy who was a classic bass and guitar prodigy to Praxis in 1996. It literally changed him. He was an accomplished musician (played with the Philadelphia symphony at an early age) but when he heard Blast/War Machine he literally freaked out. Within two quarters he stole my friends high end Warshburn and dropped out of the Music Conservatory never to be seen again. To this day, I hope he's OK.
The fact he's damping the strings but keeping the gain as he goes into 2 hand tapping is awesome. Keeps the momentum without letting the muted Half of all strings ring.
Most of the times I hear someone say something like "the greatest of all time" it's exaggeration, but I legitimately think it could be true for Buckethead.
can't believe this has only 300k views. I thought it was hard asf on guitar hero 2 but on a real guitar life it looks 1000 times harder. This dude is a legend
I was there baby!! One of 5 times at this venue over the years. Each one outdid the other… can’t even begin to explain. Love you Bucket !! Best musician of our generation. Thanks for the timeless absolutely legendary memories.
Ive noticed more in expirienced and talented guitarists that i see online that you can really see the veins in their right hand when they tense up same deal for guitarists on YT like HalfDuck and TheDooo same deal for this guy damn i love jordan
One of the coolest shows ive ever been to. Saw him in Charleston back in the day and was right there at the front of the stage. Got to tap the kill switch and everything.
I can't hardly tell this is a synthesis sound or a guitar sound when I listen to the album. But now I know they are all made of only one guitar, which is super amazing.
+Michael Maja Baas agree practicing is everything when i started to play guitar i never thought i could reach the level i have now everyone should keep in mind that through playing you can just get better not worse :D
holy shit, that guy is great. how come I have never see him when they talk about like the 20 greatest guitar players ever....cause I think he would qualify.
This man gave his guitar a g-spot.
Must be awfully satisfied
fucking eargasme
It always had one. But he found it. And he made her scream.
He tickled mine too.
lmao
Love the facial expressions
Underrated
Bruh
Buckethead be like: O_O
lol funny
Hahaha drunk as a skunk ans saw this. Brilliant. Tipping my fedora.
I hope that guitars 18
+StoneManRoyalties I just logged to like your commentary xD
Holy shit lol
StoneManRoyalties funniest comment I've read in months! 😂
well that's original
The way that guitar squawked, it's definitely underage.
Poor thing...
Casually walks while playing an 8 finger tapping solo without looking 0.0
@Nick Martin bh is much more than technical.dude can literally play anything and everything.
@RegurgiNate I put Buckethead above Govan because of his compositional output, which is both better in quality and higher in volume by, what, a factor of 200? And I'm barely exaggerating
He probably doesn't know he's doing it....he could be in a trance
@@gsofficial they are quite different. Govan way more jazzy, but his composing is awesome too
Its not tapping, its nubbing. Its a technique he invented
only took me about 13 years, but I can now play this song on expert. Thanks KFC man.
I can’t ever get through the middle part!
@@mhoub1186 Rough bro, you mean Solo B? or Solo C?
Only about half the notes he plays are on GH aswell
I was pretty good at guitar hero growing up. Can play everything on expert easily. Through the fire and flames at 4 stars, but have still never beat this song on expert once
Guitar hero doesn't count
He was thinking " hahahahah noobs you will never play this song in your life".
it looks like he's not even trying
You can just tell by the blank look on his face...oh wait
KV-2 listening to filthy capitalist music i see , commie
KV-2 😂😂😂
"Lol wtf am i doing"
If i tried to play this, even the mask would start sweating
I can't even begin to explain to non - guitarists how fucking hard this is
Van Halen made what this dude does on a god-like level famous, but this dude is still underground
It's sad
He's a god
The mask would m e l t
@@richardmcdonald5839 the funny thing is that he WANTS to be underground because he dosent make music for money
@@wakeup1789 from what i've know, buckethead is from rich family.
just having fun and entertain with his music.
Yup ... results vary.....
he just casually walks on stage in a vision obscuring mask and a literal KFC BUCKET on his head and just plays the sickest shred solo in the history of shred with nubbing, tapping, shredding, harmonizing and killswitching just scattered in the middle. Insane!
I couldn’t have summed it up better myself. It is the stuff of genius and legend that is being witnessed here
that should tell people it doesnt matter what you look like, as long as youre good at what you do
@@Darkopolypse98 i just found out that he has some paper so that people cant see his eyes(occasionally) so he is basically playing it blind and doing well!
@@realmrjangoon thats incredible :0 Wow
@@realmrjangoon There are some videos out that he wears his normal mask and has a extremely dark almost black face shield on top of it.
This guy is one of the most underrated artists ever
Definitely overlooked.
and one of the most prolific
@@markrobinson8410 Its somewhat his fault. Most of my Big B's favorite songs were just random YT uploads that i found accidently. If he wasn't in GnR most of the planet wouldn't know about him.

Underrated by who? Is there anyone who rates Buckethead lower than an extraordinary player?
@@brucemcbain3150 He is much better musician than most people think or know actually. Usually people see him as a simple shredder. And that means they don't know much about his music.
His hands are absolutely massive but more importantly his knowledge and mastery of the fretboard and techniques. He’s unbelievable
Pretty sure he is so damn big that he got Gibson to add some extra frets on there for him. Def one of the goats.
@@justsomemincedgarlic his guitar is actually just oversized like probably 1.5 times the size of a regular which is just insane lol
@@justsomemincedgarlic Its a baritone guitar. Those are bigger than regular guitars, almost as big as a Bass.
This guy is in the top 3 best guitarist of all time it's just my opinion but I think it's Justin Johnson, John5, and Buckethead are the three best all time guitarist ever.
I didn't know he played the guitar hero version live.
Re:vant Jordan was this song without the solo before guitar hero so some of the live versions are like the now just opening of this song
@@tokiwartooth2661 Vertebrae by praxis is this song without the solo
This was on guitar hero ?
@@yegwear6881 ya. GH2
he made this song for guitar hero :)
1:41 is fucking insane. Like effortless. How is playing like this even physically possible?!
Blows my mind every time as well, Kyle. He makes it look like that was the easiest part of the instrumental!
It's like he's entering another dimension, it sounds so awesome
You've only seen a mere fraction of his true talent
Normally I'd say practice and while absolutely we are looking at a man who plays the guitar for 10 thousand hours a day, let alone in general, I genuinely think dude was born wired different. His brain just knows music. I bet he probably can't do other shit right like tie his shoes or make scrambled eggs but he can do this
do not underestimate the power of Buckethead
1:39 He rules his guitar.
Dude this part is unreal
he rules me
0:37
People who don't play the guitar and watch this have no idea just how insane this is, I cannot comprehend how he is this good at playing the guitar
imagine waking up one morning and knowing you're this good at playing guitar.
the chicken souls would be proud of him
dude bro they made the song from guitar hero 2 a real thing woah
No, this song is came out before guitar hero
@@sexugayz4020 oh? oh really? thats wild bro i didnt know that
@@pensluo747 yeah u should've made a joke about it
@@sexugayz4020 r/woooosh
@@sexugayz4020 idiot
definitely one of the best versions of Jordan i've ever listened to
Look at the 2018 version at the mystic theater in petaluma. People's faces melted thoroughly
They are called kill switches
Here's to you th-cam.com/video/53NcYcq48Ig/w-d-xo.html
Best versions ?
There's only one Buckethead
@@michaelsuder3956 no one asked about the kill switch though?
Lets us all truly recognize a gift to mankind
I shred and tap too but seriously, Buckethead is probably the best I've ever seen, just insanely talented. There's nothing he can't do on the guitar.
@@michaelmyers1450 its with three o's "Dooo"
He can't guarentee the guitars safety
@@michaelmyers1450 the dooo is good, but he ain't no buckethead
i tried playing his signature guitar.. its fucking huge and thick and heavy .. how does he play it that easily. he must have giant hands
That's what she said ;)
no its not. i own one. this monstrosity is huge!

that guy turned into buckethead
Ugh 1996 seems close but its been 24 years since then
Buckethead the wandering wanderer of the music industry, the living legend that is only heard in whispers of the greats
We should broadcast this across the universe, no alien race would mess with this display of epic devastation.
I actually really love how it sounded at 0:39 when he didn’t do the harmonics
they arent harmonics he is using a pitch shifting pedal
@@asharbones1183 yup, the whammy pedal by digitech to be precise.
This man is not human. He is a Alien from the Planet "Awesome"
The fact he's damping the strings but keeping the gain as he goes into 2 hand tapping is awesome. Keeps the momentum without letting the muted Half of all strings ring.
Imagine his left hand grip.
Good thing traditionally you greet people with your right hand
Imagine his right shaking from pressing that button
Unless he was a boy scout, then anyone that shook his hand would need amputated
Otherworldly.....
2:53-PURE GENIUS
TAPE END SPECIAL
Yes! Brilliant
Such a musician is born only once in 100 years.
Dude is a legend.
That tone of his guitar at the end is sick.
It’s amazing to think that he is human like how how
Even the almighty buckethead can not 100% the very masterpiece he created.
of course he can, hes just fuckin around and improvisin
That's the beauty of him, he changes his songs slightly every time he plays them.
LOL
Agreed, I've seen 10+ live videos since yt was created and he never did exactly the full solo without errors.
Can you tell me a single guitarist ever that perfectly 100% plays a song as complex as this live?
The greatest guitarist of all time? I think so
For sho !!
Most of the times I hear someone say something like "the greatest of all time" it's exaggeration, but I legitimately think it could be true for Buckethead.
I like the part at 0:37 where he doesn’t add the high pitch effect, but the notes itself.
His slides are legit the cleanest I've ever heard, so fast and clean
@@ClonicTonic Well, its not slides in the main riff but hammer ons and pull offs. But I get what your saying 🙃.
This is the most futuristic song ever created. Not even people on 2200 are ready for this
After all these years, I'm still struggling to grasp how it's humanly possible to play this.
Therapist: where did buckethead touched you?
Me: everywhere
What about the guitar?
Buckethead is actually Keanu Reeves
jotunman6 he is the one
Whoa
jotunman6 He is, huh? This is the way things are.
Guess that explains the "breath taking" performance
If only
My search for perfection brought me here.
Love how cole rolland over here playin the last part of the solo with all his fingers, and sweatin and he's casually looking around while playing.
can't believe this has only 300k views. I thought it was hard asf on guitar hero 2 but on a real guitar life it looks 1000 times harder. This dude is a legend
wow. this dudes amazing. his rhythm is flawless along with his switch-picking. I love the Nintendo-bit bridge. :)
One of the best live performances of Jordan I’ve ever seen
Buckethead's fingers are on the UNESCO World Heritage List
Bucketheads music and performances are no frills but frills at the same time … LEGEND
I was there baby!! One of 5 times at this venue over the years. Each one outdid the other… can’t even begin to explain.
Love you Bucket !! Best musician of our generation. Thanks for the timeless absolutely legendary memories.
BUCKETHEAD RULES! 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Happy Birthday Michael Jordan... And Happy Birthday to me! 🙌 🎸🤗♥️♥️♥️❤️
Happy Birthday 🎉
That song is pure ingeniosity created by god himself Not to mention the unbelievebale live performance I love you Buckethead
The best player alive in my opinion.
(guitar)
That's amazing!!!
This song is so legendary
He plays so beautifully. Amazing tune
The sound track to every science-fiction inter-galactic battle from now on, WOW!
I'm in love with that guitar.
I love the emotional way things come thru in his eyes while plays .
好きです！！かっこいい！
I need to see him live one day ;--; hes insane.
Ive noticed more in expirienced and talented guitarists that i see online that you can really see the veins in their right hand when they tense up
same deal for guitarists on YT like HalfDuck and TheDooo
same deal for this guy
damn i love jordan
Feels like my mind is flying at super sonic speeds listening to that solo.
I'll probably never get to see him play live but listening is enough for me.
For some reason this song sounds better live
One of the coolest shows ive ever been to. Saw him in Charleston back in the day and was right there at the front of the stage. Got to tap the kill switch and everything.
esse cara ér bom d+.
MY MAN BUCKETHEAD ALWAYZ KILLZ IT!!!
One of the greatest guitarists ever great guitar hero 2 memories
So good!
Absolute genius!
what a song omg
pqp tá pra nascer alguém que supera esse cara, inacreditável a perfeição ✨✨✨
Astonishing!
Amazing.

I can't hardly tell this is a synthesis sound or a guitar sound when I listen to the album. But now I know they are all made of only one guitar, which is super amazing.

I WAS THERE, GREAT SHOW, HE IS BEYOND AWESOME,MAYBE THE BEST GUITAR PLAYER EVER.
amazing
That smile ❤
Best cover I'v Ever Seen
