To those refuting,
I think theres a difference between soul and what buckethead plays. I feel like he can hit "Maggotbrain" emotion, but I wouldn't call that soul. Emotions are one thing; I feel like sadness is a passive emotion. But to play with what I would call passion requires an active willingness to want to feel while playing.
I don't think Buckethead can remove himself from his training. I feel like his playing is mathematical. There isn't anything wrong with that, but I wouldn't call it "soul."
