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."

Again, listen to Electric Sea. I cried several times listening to that album, it completely reinvented the image I previously had of Buckethead. Its not simply emotional or soulful when compared to his other work, it might be the most emotional album I have heard.
