    • @missintegra0
      @missintegra0 Год назад +1

      ​@@curtisnashsr.2700 Sometimes he does it just switching from one pickup to another, that changes the sound but doesn't make a new one...Most of the time with pedals (delay, crybaby, booster, octaves pedal, MXR phase 90, bass synth wha, etc) and his station, if u pay attention to his movements in concerts you can see how he steps on "something" and the previous sound change hehe

      Skrapeg0at there are a lot of weird but crushers and fuzz pedals out there that can alternatively starve out and boost the gain, signal strength, and pedal volt supply to make fucky noises like this. What he does it seems is that he's blasting through various Van Halen harmonic techniques like you see in Spanish fly and little guitars with the laser sounds going, and when he hits the harmonic right...wow...the sustain that high note gets is otherworldly.

    Amazing the comments I read from people jumping to the conclusion that Buckethead is a bad player based off ONE video they watch of him, which is a display of technical ability, uniqueness, and versatility of what the man can make a guitar do. Every player is different, and Buckethead is no exception. In fact, it's the nature of his style that is entertaining to so many, including myself. Obviously this is not meant to be a "melodic" display.
    Being a musician, and an avid fan of Buckethead, just irritates me to see so many shallow, close minded comments. You're watching the video, you thought enough of it to comment negatively, how about listening to ANY of the multitude of pieces of art this man has created?? Lotus Island (the song), anything off Colma, Electric Tears, Diamond in the Rough, I could go on... He's done and accomplished so much that most of us only dream of. Buckethead deserves respect, like any other accomplished musician.
    TL;DR: Listen to the man's music.

    If you want to hate Buckethead for no reason look up: Watching the Boats with Dad, Soothsayer, Whitewash, For Mom, Big Sur Moon, Nottingham Lace, unknown song & Frozen Brains tell no tales.
    Those are proper studio songs.

Besides, whenever he does anything that isn't "just noise" he gets criticized for being untalented and boring.
