cringe i can play this and i own a buckethead sig guitar the fast computer sounding bit? thats just chromatic scale and using a technique called "nubbing" its like tapping but different and buckethead invented it. this song isnt actually as hard to play as it sounds if you are moderately good at guitar
I can tell you why he wears a mask right now he wants people to focus on the music who he is doesn't matter the music he makes it's what is important having your face shown is like a distraction from the greatness

"The fastest tapping portions of the solo reach approximately 15.47 notes per second (32nd-notes @ 116 BPM in a 4/4 meter). In this part of the solo, Buckethead frets the notes using only his left hand, instead of resorting to two-handed tapping. The picking portion of the solo reaches a speed of 11.6 notes per second (16th-note triplets @ 116 BPM in a 4/4 meter)." -Wikapedia
Everyone is going to have their own interpretation of how he plays. Unless you can find some information about it that buckethead himself released about how he plays the solo then I personally wouldn't take it too serious.
If you're amp has effects on it like mine, mine has tremolo that acts like an auto killswitch so if you use that on this song it's actually not that hard to do, but yes, the solo is fast as fuck.
i feel so bad when guitarists like buckethead go unnoticed ...i am from India...and most of people dont know about buckethead over here... guitarists in bands having plenty of music videos get fame over here... this is unfair... Buckethead deserves to be recognized as one of the best ever...
im sure if buckethead really wanted fame and recognition he would not play with a bucket on his head and a mask on his face! he's probably just happy so many people already love and appreciate his music, you included :)
needadonut I know that, but GH2 had note setups that were much easier to play than GH3. There's a reason TTFAF is still considered the hardest song in the series...
+bonkus bo fronkus ok so I don't know if your English is good, but I did say "learning", not "listening". If I had said "listening" then yeah it would be 4 minutes. But since I said "Learning" it takes longer than 4 minutes to learn a song like this.
OK, in high school I was VERY impressed by this. I begged my Dad for FIVE months to buy me a Buckethead Signature Gibson. Check. I practiced night and day. Check. I entered the school talent show wearing the mask and the KFC bucket on my head. Check. Half way thru my first solo, the grease started leaking out and got into my eyes. I knocked the bucket off my head, chicken flying everywhere.
So many great memories. I remember being able to barely survive this on expert... my sister could wipe the floor with the solo on the ps2 controller... blew my mind every time.
zzzhuh buttons were mapped to the ps2 controller, l1 was green i think and l2 was red r1 yellow r2 blue triangle was like orange and x was strum i believe. i remember finding that out and shit myself
no his vocal cords were scratched out chickens so he wears the bucket over his head to cover the scars and his vocal cords were messed up so he doesn't sing...
I like how most of the comments on this video is by passerby's who don't listen to much buckethead you can really tell the difference between the way they talk and how dedicated fans are
nynetynyne To be honest, my source was Guitar Hero II itself, which in it's Track Shop mentioned that the song Jordan From Buckethead was writen and recorded for GH II. It seems like that is a lie. Thanks for informing me. Bloody hell if that, Thunderhorse and Six weren't the hardest tracks in that game.
Takes me back to better times in childhood (Guitar Hero)... don't get me wrong, I'm only in my mid-twenties, but even still, it feels like an eternity ago that I was playing this with my friend who isn't with us anymore, and it feels like that so-much-so it's almost like it happened to someone else... So much peace when I listen to this, close my eyes and I see Leo and Jackson again, before all the bad grown-up stuff happened.
The Ventures (mostly known as an instrumental band from the 1960s on, more popular in Japan than they are in America) also have a comparable number of albums which is something like 250 or more, but I think that's counting compilation albums of material they recorded previously. I don't know how Buckethead's albums are counted.
Austin Lucas No compilations. If you count compilations, I guess the winner would be Elvis Presley. They have released more than 300 collections from him. Don't ask me why.
buckethead is without a doubt one of the most talented and original guitarests both technically and emotionally that is alive today. He is flawless, unique, and fucking unbelievable. Not to metion he writes all the bass and drums in his songs. he is a true genious. Anyone who argues that is just a waste of space.
First time I heard Buckethead my friend invited me to see him live. Never seen such amazing work on the guitar. He made that shit look automatic and it sounded flawless.
Saw this dude live in st pete fl and he was giving out dollar store toys. Because it was him, it was AWESOME. He seemed so friendly without saying a word. Not to mention, he is a musical monster. Just great.
Bucket Legend! The Only guitarist in music history who actually wrote & produced songs/ music while using only his guitar! The Master of guitarist! Surpass by None! In present day & in all world known musical global history. A musical genuis by far in a catergory of the worlds best! Bucket head reins alone! Where if he did have competition to compete with,? it would only come from the vibrations of his image, a vision of sound waves being perfectly copied mimick+ the notes of his hand movements that conducts its course inside a mirror! flowing refractive vibes casting brillant tones of sounds jamming from the oddysey of his reflection!
Redfrog101 my dad went and saw Van Halen when they first started out. They were headlining for KISS or someone. He said they came out and Eddie played Eruption and his jaw just dropped.
Something tells me that it may have been intended. I'm not quite sure what though *stares longingly at the video* There's gotta be something I'm missing!
just all day every day he's been playing for like 30yrs+ and bootsie Collins is his best friend so he's got that funk thing going on, maybe Best contemporary player ever.
Of course he's a bit of a savant. This guy literally spends 24/7 writing music (seeing as he released 118 albums in 2015). If there's anyone who has an unwavering passion to (their) music, it's him.
If i had to put the most perfect band together it would be John Bonham- Drums Ronnie James Dio- Vocals Buckethead- Lead gutar Dave Mustaine- Rhythm Guitar Geddy Lee- Bass
Dude, you really a rocker??? Ya, Geddy Lee is very cool BUT COME ON MAN... only 1 Bass Player on Earth for greatest ever band -- Lemmy Kilmister!!!!! Bonham dubbed over on a lot of his albums to get his sound... I'm going with Keith Moon on drums, Lemmy on Bass and vocals and Buckethead.... cuz 3 man bands are the bomb (but if we had to have a rhythm it would Brad Whitford from Aerosmith. (Geddy could play keyboards if he wants and Ronnie James Dio could be our super cool roadie and do the craziest sound checks ever) I am the light, powerful and joyful, right now and for eternity, gratefulness for what we receive everyday.

I'd put Paul Mazurkiewicz on drums but, it would be too heavy compared to others. Vocals could be done by Corey Taylor, all the Slipknot hate aside he has an incredible voice.
Buckethead to Marcus henderson about Jordan: “I think this is one of the best things I’ve ever recorded in my entire life.” (Marcus Henderson) ''And when I heard it I got chills up my spine''
+Jeremy Joslin he didnt write the solo.someone working on gh 2 new him and wrote the solo. buckethead would only play the begining in live conserts. if it wernt fo gh. it wernt for jordan
+BEARSFAN2004 I'm not sure where you got the idea that Buckethead didn't write the solo, because in this interview with Marcus Henderson (the guy who recorded most of the guitars for Guitar Hero II), Marcus says of this track: "I told him what we wanted: something between three and four minutes, nothing over 64th notes because the game can’t figure out the difference, and start off with a great intro and then go into “Buckhethead land” for two or three minutes and come back around - and whatever you send us will be perfect. And when he was done he left me a voicemail that said, “I think this is one of the best things I’ve ever recorded in my entire life.” And when I heard it I got chills up my spine-it was just incredible." www.guitarworld.com/guitar-heros-marcus-henderson-guitar-world-interview?page=2
I miss my playstation 2, I remember doing every single music 5 star on expert, but for Jordan I needed to go down of my pedestal and play it on Hard just to finish it.....
Alok kimbo from 3:03 to 3:19 i used "transcribe!" to slow down this and it sound a lot like a very technical chicken picking . i think he hits quickly the lowest note with the pick while doing the others notes with his others fingers
I don't even understand how anyone could dislike this ever. I mean its pure amazing guitar skills. Anyone who truly appreciates music should enjoy this.
Oh god 13 years later, this song is the reason I still listen to guitar oriented music like Polyphia, Jason Richardson, sithu aye, etc. little me thought this shit was the best thing ever.
While you listened this song, BH released another 14 albums.

When an interviewer asked Buckethead why he wears a mask, he simply replied "There is no mask."
Jack Botkins *herbie* replied ^^
lol
he said "what mask?"
I can tell you why he wears a mask right now he wants people to focus on the music who he is doesn't matter the music he makes it's what is important having your face shown is like a distraction from the greatness

I know, but tremolo works just as well if you can't move as fast as him.

I'd put Paul Mazurkiewicz on drums but, it would be too heavy compared to others. Vocals could be done by Corey Taylor, all the Slipknot hate aside he has an incredible voice.
Joey Zmigrodski Ronnie is no longer with us he living the better life !
Buckethead to Marcus henderson about Jordan: “I think this is one of the best things I’ve ever recorded in my entire life.”
(Marcus Henderson) ''And when I heard it I got chills up my spine''
It took me 15 years, but I finally learned it.
He can write a hell of a solo..
+Jeremy Joslin he didnt write the solo.someone working on gh 2 new him and wrote the solo. buckethead would only play the begining in live conserts. if it wernt fo gh. it wernt for jordan
+BEARSFAN2004 I'm not sure where you got the idea that Buckethead didn't write the solo, because in this interview with Marcus Henderson (the guy who recorded most of the guitars for Guitar Hero II), Marcus says of this track:
"I told him what we wanted: something between three and four minutes, nothing over 64th notes because the game can’t figure out the difference, and start off with a great intro and then go into “Buckhethead land” for two or three minutes and come back around - and whatever you send us will be perfect. And when he was done he left me a voicemail that said, “I think this is one of the best things I’ve ever recorded in my entire life.” And when I heard it I got chills up my spine-it was just incredible."

He did the whole thing when I saw him last night
+BEARSFAN2004 jordan wasnt a full song at the beginning, it was only intro riff. then its completed for guitar hero bonus track.
Dude, you're fucking awesome for giving us this information!! Big Thanks.
One of the hardest songs on Guitar Hero!
For real
I let my hair grow up to listen this song
I think he means his hair, now grown up, listens to buckethead.
Rad /,,/
+britch bopa lol
I let my hair grow up to listen to this song
I miss my playstation 2, I remember doing every single music 5 star on expert, but for Jordan I needed to go down of my pedestal and play it on Hard just to finish it.....
There are no words to describe how good at guitar he is..
Call me weird but there is a segment in here during his solo that I swear sounds like chickens clucking.
Right? Yo, the technique he uses to get that sound is called chicken picking.
Faecy Waecy cool, must be a pain to perfect like he has.
Faecy Waecy that's not how chicken picking sounds like.. check ur facts.
Alok kimbo from 3:03 to 3:19 i used "transcribe!" to slow down this and it sound a lot like a very technical chicken picking . i think he hits quickly the lowest note with the pick while doing the others notes with his others fingers
Pretty sure MrAntofire is right here.
this may very well be the hardest piece ever written for guitar.
Happy birthday from France !!
I can hear the dead chickens souls at 3:00.
best guitarist ever
Not best but one of the best
"Los Pollos Hermanos" are following him... WHAT IS HE INTO!?
Walter White has some good taste of music!
You are goddam right.
MeAndThatGuyXD Gus Fring*
They provide the buckets for him to wear on his head.
Finally old enough to want more than one bucket head track at a time.❤
803 people couldn't comprehend how good Buckethead is.
I don't even understand how anyone could dislike this ever. I mean its pure amazing guitar skills. Anyone who truly appreciates music should enjoy this.
you realize comments like this will disappear cause youtube is too afraid of dislikes being visible....
I'd love to see Buckethead and John Petrucci of Dream Theater in a guitar battle. Two men enter, one man leaves!
Then the other guy leaves after being declared the winner
You mean Petrucci leaves
please don't forget paul gilbert... he's the one who taught buckethead...
rahul mishra
Totally agree, Paul is the man.
Some people don't even know aha
I dont think anyone can imitate his techniques hes very different and awesome
Oh god 13 years later, this song is the reason I still listen to guitar oriented music like Polyphia, Jason Richardson, sithu aye, etc. little me thought this shit was the best thing ever.
Guitar Hero memories. 1:34 fails song
+Albert Arriola Hahahaha yeah ikr
A single second passes and suddenly you're kicked off stage
overrated? to your ears maybe.. but to mine he is simply amazing and one of my favourite artists
I wish I could one day be as good at guitar as bucky is
+ÁUß Code I do :)
17 years ago ! Jheeez, Starting to feel old :/ :(
lol it came out like 2 days after I was born lmao
