  • Thank you James for introducing me to Buckethead, it was a great experience for me :)
    I taught myself guitar for 10 years (no formal education nor private lesson), and spent 1 month+20 days learning "Soothsayer" for this video. This took more than 6 number of takes/whatever to record completely. As I was playing, I had to deeply focus, as it’s a very difficult song to play (so many different techniques and effects) and the longest one i ever covered :)

      Music is emotional. I don't know what the Hell you're talking about. I should play the guitar expressionless when I play in front of people?
      Can you kiss your girlfriend or have sex with her and be vacant of emotion?
      People go into metal because their heads are messed up and they need an outlet. Maybe you should find another genre of music to follow. Maybe all of you should give up on listening to music altogether. Because you really don't get it.
      People don't act like freaks. They are freaks and when they play music they show it.

    So I have to start by thanking RUclips and it’s algorithms! Yeah so I’m 62 years young and have been watching and listening to all the big rock and heavy metal bands since I was 14 ish. About a month ago I saw Mel’s cover of this guy Buckethead pop up on my feed. I dunno where I’ve been for this last decade as I’d never heard of him before, strangely though I now realise I must have seen and heard him with Guns & Roses. I watched Mel’s cover of “Soothsayer” and was literally speechless, the song was amazing and her playing …. Holy Shit!! So obviously next step was watching Buckethead do his version. WOW!!! I was almost in tears with the emotion and playing. I have maybe watched or listened to both now a 100 times and never get bored. So out of the blue, after decades of thinking I’d heard everything I was thankful for these two brilliant artists. Great stuff Mel - you’re amazing!! ❤

    I've been watching her videos for the last 2 or 3 years. Since I first ran across her in my feed. So many things about her, other than her playing abilities, make her appear to be a very rare type of young person. Other young people should take note of how she conducts herself on here. Her parents have much to be proud of. And, she is absolutely an awesome guitar player. Worthy of fame and fortune, should she desire that from life but, she strikes me as the type who is intelligent enough to realize there are far more important things.

    Mel your simply awesome. Big respect to you. The ladies have been taking over the guitar act in the rock world with great aplomb. I am very grateful. You inflect and emote so much on this Buckethead song. I should have gone to see him when he was playing my home town of Baltimore in his heyday. But now I can catch you on RUclips! Take your time. When you are stronger and your confidance and your hearts in it. Then, and only then, play some live shows. Only surround yourself with pure muscians, if you haven't already, those who are in it for the Art. We need you. Your amazing! I had to watch you two times, three times. You know when you get a good song stuck in your head ? And you just get a lot of work done with it playing in the background. Sweet! Watching the relaxed focus you have as you shred. That is skill. Like someone with Silat. They make it look easy. Your the legend. Remember as time goes by, stay grounded. Thank you. The love you have for the guitar, for the music, comes through as you play. That peaceful joy is infectious.
    You touched my heart with this. An old man. It never fails to bring happiness to my spirit, and no matter how many years go by. I'm still surprised at how much youthful energy I feel every time someone like yourself plugs in. Don't stop. Your good. Positive vibrations.
    Barakallah. Salam.

      My good Sir, I admire your way of acknowledging and giving respect. But I'm sure you're much better than what you give yourself credit for. If I may, there have been several times I've been stopped by different instrument playing artists, while walking the streets. Perhaps it is the way ppl incorporate themselves with the tune but it's as if I get sucked into them. Such as this one here. If I may once more, I hope you continue to play because even a crowd of one can be enough to brighten up a moment with a tune. Thank you. have a good one.

      I've always put it in these words, I was proficient enough to work my way through songs and play them as written but it wasn't until I had the technical skills pass to the subconscious level that I was able to relax enough and actually play a guitar. That being said, there's always another aspect of the instrument to learn and another way to play things. Much like life in general, don't waste your time comparing yourself to other people. Get inspired by them, learn new techniques etc but you can only measure your progress today against your skills from yesterday.
