So true!!! Also "degrees of greatness" change for each listener based on so many different things at different points of time.

Hell yes, thanks for responding. Such a great release, I'm glad you chimed in

Some of Buckethead's latest music is slower and melodic like you mention.....here are a couple examples that show melody you probably wouldn't have expected from him. Please give each of them a listen and you'll hopefully see that he's not just an uninspired shredder as you might have thought.

I definitely agree....'greatest' is such a broad term. Not really useful in describing such an incredibly subjective thing as musical taste. Hope you take the time to check out the songs above though!

Damn, you just made me a buckethead fan, thanks for sharing my friend this is something quite special.

radiantriad

So awesome to hear that, monglae! I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed it.....I agree, his music in general is pretty special to me. But I'm curious: which track did you like most? All three are great songs but Hornet part 4 is by far my favorite of the three I posted.

Also, kind of curious about what your other musical tastes are like....if you want to know some of my other favorite soft/acoustic Buckethead tracks, just let me know! I'd be happy to post more....

On the flip side, he's got all kinds of heavier tracks that I'd really like to share too.....he's released so much material over the last 4 years that there's all kinds of suggestions I can make, mostly based on what style(s) of rock you might prefer. He's got quality tracks in virtually every style I can think of - let me know if you want examples of any (or all) of these: progressive, blues, hard rock, southern, 70s-style riff-based classic rock, metal, or long jams where some or all of these styles evolve into and out of each other and then somewhere new after that. He has some seriously long songs in his library, so if you especially like tracks that are of truly epic-length, let me know.

Once again, I love to share any and all things Buckethead, so let me know of ANY AND ALL styles of instrumental rock that appeal the most to your tastes - the more the better!! I'll be sure to post 'em once you let me know--

Take it easy!

Yup, huge amount of material - worlds more than virtually any other artist....dare I say ever?

It's not all equally impressive, but the ones that are.....pure friggin' magic. He's taken a bit of a break recently, totally throwing off anyone (i.e. me) used to his previous schedule of at least one pike per week. That level of output is astronomical compared to even the most prolific of modern musicians....gotta remember that before I start saying things like "Alright 2 months is TOO LONG to wait for new music." Any patience went out the window when he started showering us with the number of tunes that he has, lol. Can't wait to hear what he releases next.

Dude has definite skill! It's the same guy in each video?
