Lol its alot harder to play very clean lead guitar with alot of distortion than on acoustic grandpas guitars.

I guess you're a teenager?

Soon You will realise Malmsteen freakin sucks.

You ever tried fretting a note on a classical guitar?

You will soon realise your 3 note per string shredding patterns are garbage.

Slash is the essence of a rock guitar player... you simply cannot compare this feeling and talent to Bucket's..

I love classical music, but as a guitarist, I do prefer to hear it played on electric guitar. And no, I'm not talking Malmsteen's Neo-classical bullshit. He's too full of himself, and not as good as he or anyone else thinks.

The problem is there are way too many neo classical guys.

just nothing original

I like John 5 for originality

Greg Howe is one of the best

Speaking of Eddie Van Halen, I wonder what he thinks of Paul Gilbert doing this to his song.

I personally think it's genius, and Paul shows his versatility and immense talent.

I never knew Howe played like this. I knew he was into funk guitar, but not superfast shredding. Awesome.

Who the hell knows. Looks more like Bea Arthur these days than a leather-panted, groupie-slaying, guitar god. $:-\$

Yikes! I remember reading their biography "Hammer of the Gods" and even researching Alister Crowly as a teen because of Page....haha, ah the days of youth!

Buckethead is one of the most original and talented guitar players around. Slash is ok....that's about it.

Here is me...very raw...2 improvised solos over top of each other....took me about 1/2 hour to do this.

...forgive the crappy drum machine....hahaha....

Some slower stuff too.

BTW. Slash could not play the tune in the first video I posted...no way..he can't sweep pick arpeggios, nor speed pick....but Buckethead could play it easily.

Paco is awesome, but I was influenced more by DiMeola. I do fingerpick, but prefer a plectrum.

Dude probably had the hand strength of a lumberjack. Playing like that involves extreme conditioning in the hands.

btw you spelled 'yngwie' wrong.

I personally think Yngwie is cool and funny as hell for his tasteless OTT notes-per-minutes Neo-Classicisms, and doesn't pretend to be classy like Vai, just loves what he is, a big fat show off.

Anyway, check this guy out, he worked in the guitar shop I worked in last year.

He now plays with Tommy Emmanuel, a total badass I've had the pleasure of seeing live. Great stuff. Cudos to the Paco De Lucia link posted by someone above also.

seriously.....i never gave buckethead alot of thought, not that he cares, lol......i dont usually like gimmicks

but he is not a gimmick, it is truely amazing what he can do......he is in very rare air, he is a guitar player's guitar player...........many people like that might never become the biggest star power or financial success, but short of satriani or malmsteen, if you asked any guitarist anywhere who they fear it would be buckethead

i kind of understand the bucket more now too.......he wants to remove the person to person interface while he is playing, putting people fully in touch with the music, with no other distractions......i can kind of respect that

don't forget about Petrucci!

Immortal_Technique · « **Reply #73 on:** June 26, 2009, 02:26:04 PM »

Petrucci is a good example of technicality over any kind of feel. 'Live another day' is cool but mostly because of the soprano sax.

Can't agree more. I went to the G3 tour a couple years ago and when he was on it was a snooze fest. The only ones into it were the Dream Theater nerds.
