Yes, Buckethead is a character. Congratulations on noticing.

Buckethead is good because he's got the subtle approach. The opposite approach is something like Yngwie Malmsteen, who straight up busts into a song and takes it over (man why wouldn't he anyway, he's Yngwie.) Buckethead plays nice with others; you can listen to his albums with Praxis or Bootsy and he shares energy with the other players, picks up on their ideas and reflects them.

So it's not just excessive amounts of technical prowess; it's good musicianship, good bandmembership. Something like "Endtime" on the Praxis album Profanation really highlights his low-key approach.

how does his guitar playing sound fake its not that hard of music to play its just he has hell lot of effects on it. take jordan for instance the main riff for that song is simple its just mad amounts of effects. yes the solo is crazy i give him credit there but other than that his main riffs are really easy.

Your dumb. So dumb that almost every post you have made has been equally dumb. You dont even explain your dumb claims with dumb explanations. Now thats pretty dumb.

You should listen to his accoustic album, it has NO effects at all. If you want a link Id be happy to send it. Also Electric Tears is pretty good and I believe most of not all of that is played clean.

Not trying to agree with Cory, but parts of Population Override have a decent funk influence to my ears.

I've got no idea why do you guys like him so much...

That album is the perfect blues/progressive rock listen.
