He takes the time to show his fans how to play his riffs. Not only do I admire him for his musical talent and integrity; I admire him for his humility.
***** I know right, I can't play it myself. A friend of mine doesn't like Melvins because I believe it sounds to unskilled to him. He's the kind who loves virtuoso guitarists but can't appreciate this kind of music has it's own complexity.
sanpt7777 I totally understand the friend you're describing. I happen to like the whole motif behind the Melvins being different but not in an annoying way, just interested and driven to do things they find appealing. (Weird notes, chords, keys, etc.) I hope to see them live, they are playing in CA in the near future.
The challenge with Melvins compositions is all in the rhythm. You only need minor knowledge of the fretboard to play most stuff on Ozma, but you'd better have a good memory.
actually the main riff is pretty tricky to play on guitar is simple yet very confusing, if u have small fingers playing it in bass is basically impossible
I love Buzz's playing style so much. When I first picked up guitar in the late 90's, his style along with James Hetfield's were the ones I tried to really emulate. It's hard to describe, "percussive" and "economical" are the two best descriptors I've ever been able to come up with.
@@jtsotherone yeah you are correct. I rewatched it and I was being overly critical. I was probably in a bad mood or something. If ur just putting shit out there its already better than 99.9% of people.
It's his signature EGC guitar. Actually the guy who worked with TB back in the day came in with the inventer of the EGC and helped him with the making of these great guitars. There cool. I had the tyranny. Very rad but not for everybody.
I had the pleasure of seeing The Melvins at The Gothic in Denver a couple of years ago. I was (happily) jammed between the stage and the mosh-pit behind me. It was, as you can imagine, awesome. I will not hesitate to buy tickets next time they're in town. Until then, to everyone in this comment section and the world over, keep playing this music loud!
Hate to say it, but it was probably the name for me. I remember listening to Megadeth, Metallica: cool names, and that's just ones starting with M, lol. "Melvin" sounds like a name the jocks might call me before beating me up. Even punk bands, Clash, Dead Kennedys (my favorite name), Misfits, Bad Brains, Black Flag. Why would any self-respecting band call themselves Melvins? Sounds like a Buddy Holly cover band.😂
***** I don't care about your war or your politics. If you're so passionate about war don't discuss it (I'm being nice when I say discuss, all you're doing is spouting non-truths) on a Melvins video comments section. This speaks volumes about your inability to enjoy the greatest gift on Earth, which in turn tells me that you're very sad. Either way, don't direct it at me, or in a video in which Buzz tries to teach us how to play Honey Bucket. I personally prefer Stoner Witch to Houdini, what about you?
gakfas is absolutely right. We all have something in common here. Let's appreciate it! I like both albums. "Magic Pig Detective" from _Stoner Witch_ would be awesome to learn. My two favorite albums are very early ones: _Gluey Porch Treatments_ and _Ozma_. Do you like those early ones?
+gakfas Ignore Brian Smith, he's just chatting shit. With that being said, Buzz is Jewish, and for someone like him to tour in the middle east would be extremely dangerous
Im a big fan of the dead, and it's super cool to see him using a TB like Garcia in the mid-late 70s but the tone and sound of the guitar couldn't be more different. Garcias notes were crisp, clean, and we're distinctly perforated from one another. Buzzo on the otherhand uses heavy distortion, it sounds like he's plugged into a transformer or something, the sound is very electrical and each note kind of vibrates into the next. Good stuff.
He looks like his guitar sounds I love the Melvins. I heard the song “Night Goat” while tuning into radio stations of the coast of California (I was a Radioman in the navy around 94) They constantly put out music
Being alive and able to be in a nice room at home playing a bit of guitar and sharing it with us is in my opinion preferable to that burn out or fade away false rock notion and related damage.
I learned how to play Honey Bucket 10 years ago thanks to this video. Reminded me of sitting in a garage in the late 80’s with a friend’s older brother soon after I had bought my first rig ($60 Harmony with Gorilla amp, baby!) learning the Sex Pistols “Pretty Vacant” note by note. Thanks much for the lesson, Buzz!
That's why I love The Melvins. It just sounds like a bunch of random parts all thrown together, but somehow all the random parts equal a song. Can't really think of another way to describe them.
Buzzo thanks man. Very cool to have a personal tutorial for fans and guitar enthusiasts...dope my friend! 🤘🙏 It’s inspiring, and gonna dive more into some Melvins deeper because of it! I’m a fan of chrome anything, that guitar is wild, love it.

his guitar tone always reminds me of a swarm of really angry wasps
@@nebularvoid4669 what kind of amp...?
@@SomeRandomHobo44 he uses a Sunn Beta Lead rackmount
I simply think of it as "a wasp" deeply reminiscent of multiple wasps
and he's playing it through an all-aluminum guitar... now THAT is what I call min-maxing.
Yep I hear dem... bzzzz bzzzz bzzzz
He takes the time to show his fans how to play his riffs. Not only do I admire him for his musical talent and integrity; I admire him for his humility.
2:43 he had to reload the guitar.
wtf was that?
@@nathanielbaker6884 harmonics
Lol
@@nathanielbaker6884 he palm-muted the strings hard against the pickup and then strummed them so it made a metal on metal sound
@@smudge1619 thanks for the feedback.
One of the heaviest tunes ever! Love it!
Buzzo's laugh is the light of my life.
I love how he laughs at the end at how easy the song is
+sanpt7777 though I'd say the song is more simple than easy lol

Yes, that is THE fucking riff!

Litterally one of the best
Riff Of Doom
Understatement of the century 😆
Buzz is such an underrated player man. He has alot of range and is very effective.

his name exists for a reason
I'd call both of them "average".
@@rimothytooltarski4459 People who overplay are lame. Go jack off to your shitty technical playing no one can groove to.
@@rimothytooltarski4459 I'd call both of them great, it depends how you're judging them. Shredding, maybe not. Writing sick riffs, definitely.
@@jtsotherone yeah you are correct. I rewatched it and I was being overly critical. I was probably in a bad mood or something. If ur just putting shit out there its already better than 99.9% of people.
got to love buzzo´s sound
It sounds like pure penisdump!!
@@465marko lmao 😂😂😂 i laughed way too hard about that
It sounds so much heavier when he plays it slower.
RacerRickxx palm mutes my friend!
@@jeroenverbeeck7925 palm mutes have nothing to do with tempo..?
@@cowboydan8021 no they don’t. But he doesn’t just play it slower, he also uses palm mutes. Which makes the slower riff that much heavier
No question that is true!
Agree 100%
I always love how people's picking becomes a personal style of each player.
That's a beautiful guitar!
I think it's an Electrical Guitar Company guitar. I don't know the exact model but I do know that they are pretty low price
@@joristolhuijs3703 they’re like 3 grand and way more expensive used
@@smalllhank Oh shit that's not cheap indeed
Reminds me a bit of a Travis Bean
It's his signature EGC guitar. Actually the guy who worked with TB back in the day came in with the inventer of the EGC and helped him with the making of these great guitars. There cool. I had the tyranny. Very rad but not for everybody.
Love this song, especially with the heavy drums.
1:52 ... one of the greatest fucking riffs of all time!
I love the simplicity of his writing.
Thats one of my favorite songs, riff and everything else of all time!
My favorite song off the Hooch album. It's almost like a weird hybrid between sludge and thrash.
Hooch album?
Houdini
Cannibalkorntallica123 oops! You're both right. My bad.
lynchie137 it's ok, I always make that mistake too. I completely agree with you on how the Melvins made an awesome hybrid of sludge and thrash
revolve sounds so simillar to skeletons of society by slayer too
The craziest part is that this amazing dude is still rockin
I had the pleasure of seeing The Melvins at The Gothic in Denver a couple of years ago. I was (happily) jammed between the stage and the mosh-pit behind me. It was, as you can imagine, awesome.

I Love ‘Honeybucket’! Full blast every time🔊⚡️⚡️
That tone is epic
For the life of me, I can't figure out why I never listened to the "Melvin's" when I was younger. One of the best bands I've ever heard!
Hate to say it, but it was probably the name for me. I remember listening to Megadeth, Metallica: cool names, and that's just ones starting with M, lol.

I've tried to learn this riff for so long, but as soon as he explained it the rhythm made so much sense, long live this dude, a true musician
That thick and sludgy tone is skull smashing.
Goddamned awesome. Now if we could just get Dale to do a drum demo...
Thats the fucking baddest guitar ever, aluminum, Buzzo is still a badass
Aluminum top, wood back. If it is the same one I saw him show.
Travis Bean!?
Love Melvins, love this song, love Lysol!!
i felt like he was just chillin with me here teachin me the song thanks buzzo
I love that riff and song beyond measure, cool seeing him take the time to make a small video and just showcase how to play it.
Gorgeous guitar. Would love a B.C. Rich painted this way.
I WISH THE MELVINS WOULD COME TO LEBANON. No decent band ever comes to my country.

@2:01 Thats a riff
love that he said that. I had to reply out loud, to no one, "It sure fucking is."

I've heard of many people who were/are listening to Radiohead and that was the gateway for Melvins
Ahhhhh Sideshow Bob
King Buzzo A Legend !
So good especially with the compliments of that tonemaster guitar awesome wonderful whatever Tone I feel like playing the song at the night
I just got into the Melvins. I'm a bassist but damn if I played the guitar I'd want that tone
I’m laughing because the post right above yours says “worst guitar tone in the history of guitar tones”.
To each their own.
lol
If u wrap ur guitar in allumnium foil and plug into an ass you will get the same tone.trust me it works
Being alive and able to be in a nice room at home playing a bit of guitar and sharing it with us is in my opinion preferable to that burn out or fade away false rock notion and related damage.
I love you, Buzz.
one of my favorite riffs when I first started playing guitar ^_^
Imagine creating that and chuckling at its simplicity
Man I love melvins when I'm having a shitty day slap on a melvin track and forget all my problem's 🤟
Thanks for posting this. Always loved the song.
my favorite part is how sometimes you can see the cameraman in the reflection of his guitar lol
I’m still watching this God in 2019. Still alive for 2:30 . Thanks Buzzo
Love the Melvin's and LOVE that chrome guitar bro !
Guitar tone is fucking nuts. King Buzzo!
Those USA Crate amps are freakin' sleepers! Hail King Buzzo!
Melvins forever.
This song is nuts! Thanks, Buzz!

Damn, that's a sweet riff.
My fave MELVINS tune!
One of the best songs ☝️
Those sounds are soooo pretty god damn
Yeah! That song!
One of the heaviest riffs of all time.
This is my song I play at the gym when “the bar just absolutely has to go up”
Such a kick arse song
Big Business!! Love that band
im not even gonna bother to try to replicate this
i just love listening to this. pretty sweet to see you play it tho hands on
still my favorite Melvins song
The move at 2:43... The gun cocking noise. that's so badass I know it's just a string mute but damn that's cool
It would be awesome to have him as a guitar teacher
Great Buzz! I love he
That Riff...ohhhh that riff!
Honey bucket is the best song the Melvin’s ever made.
Dude that guitar is fucking sick
one of my favorite songs to enjoy live. and by enjoy I mean have my face torn off by.
I just don't understand the timing on this song.
there is none
thats the beauty of it
It’s all in 4/4 just different tempos
That's why I love The Melvins. It just sounds like a bunch of random parts all thrown together, but somehow all the random parts equal a song. Can't really think of another way to describe them.
@@smalllhank 4/4 IS a tempo, Einstein.
@@TheRealCaptainFreedom 4/4 is a time signature. The tempo is the speed of the time signature. Both are different, but work in tandem.
Imagine how good this would sound in a "NON-VENUE"
This riff gives the members of Slayer goosebumps.
No, it really doesn’t.
@@jacknone1564shut it
Love his guitars
Dude you reign supreme 🤟
That bouncy sounding hammer-on pull-off part still makes me wanna mosh even though I'm too old for that shit now
His guitar is so cool
the best song ever ... kick ass
Sickest riff everrrrrrrrr
That's coolest guitar I've ever seen
Gotta be one of the heaviest songs ever. Great to hear it riff by riff
Love that guitar
That giggle hahaha
Melvins influenced all those great 90s bands
Had no idea how influential you guys were on Slipknot. Because that’s basically half their catalog lol
Melvins were influential to almost everyone.
Thanks Buzzo
Thanks King Buzzo!
2:45 tell me that doesn't sound like someone loading a shotgun
that doesn't sound like someone loading a shotgun
grrizo thanks
Kurt wasn't there.
Lmfao I actually heard the shotgun. Nice
@@SpongeBath_ShitPants Well Courtney loaded it so
Adorable
Awesome... Love that guitar 🎸
Best groove riff ever
King Buzzo fuck yeah!
Since it's valintines day. Maybe? I love this video.
Wicked looking guitar
Lmao. "The bass is riding the D... same as me." =p.
ADT2695 LoL gHeY!
