Music Buckethead

[Cerb]

Have to say im with eksdee on this one while i respect his ability to do this i really dont like this type of music because although he did write this himself i think the emphasis with him seems to be completly on speed...ok he writes the song but from what ive heard they're not very good just very fast.....i reckon at a certain point a person can begin to play too fast and at this pint they all just start to sound the same...for a few seconds sounds cool but for a whole song? nah....

Just because his more well known stuff is fast doesnt mean it all is

I suggest you check out Colma, maybe even some tracks on Enter the chicken before saying "its all speed" as it most certainly isn't like dragonforce

 

[Cerb]

I stand corrected about him.....but i stand by what i said on the part about it being possible to play too fast!

oh somebody post "flight of bumblebee" and be done with all this technical guitar shite

my bezzie m8 at the time ( both of us aged 17) could play flight of the bumblebee to perfection - but he couldnt write anything original to save his life - hes now the guitarist in a maiden covers band !

10000s of artists are technically talented and can play amazingly well, very few have the creative talent to make anything of it.

I prefer 'Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee'.....

YouTube - Extreme / Nuno's "Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee" 1991

Me? If so I think you misunderstood, I was replying to Zede asking for 'Flight of the Bumblebee' by saying I prefer 'Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee'.

 

[Chronictank]

ah sos
thought you were reinforcing eksdee that he only plays fast music thats why he doesnt like him

nuno is one of those with the a better creative side, the riffs on porno are just sweet.

Yeah Nuno is my idol, his melody and harmony work is just unbelievable. He doesn't have the raw speed of a Malmsteen/Petrucci/Vai but his playing always feels more passionate. He does have great technical abilty though and as you said he is creatively very strong.

For technicality I can't fault Vai, he has slowed down alot in the last 5 years but his phrasing in legendary. Back when his hands were faster he was certainly one of the king of shreds as well.

Just for fun, I would love to see anyone manage this on Guitar Hero...


This song is incredibly hard to nail 100% in GH, even harder on a real guitar. My brother has been trying on his Ibanez for the last 3 years and still completely fucks things up when the speed kicks in.

why do you and huntingtons think i'm talking about having vocals on the track? neither of you are grasping my point at all, what i am saying is anyone could do what this guy does if they played guitar for long periods every day over 10 years or whatever. to me, true talent is a lot more natural - interesting ideas, creativity. this isn't creative, it's robotic.

edit: the other thing that really gripes me about this sort of thing is the total fixation of the 'artist' with their own technial ability. this kind of music - if you wish to call it that - to me is basically someone standing on a stage screaming LOOK AT ME, I'M SO FUCKING GOOD AT GUITAR WEOEOEOEOEOE. couldn't possibly be less interresting.

When you understand this, then get back to me:

Talent is knowledge.

 

[Zede]

No it aint, u got or u...dont.

I listened to Buckethead's 'Soothsayer' in full last night and I have to say he has gone up massively in my estimation. That song has haunted me for the last 24 hours.
