3 Buckethead Licks From 2006

Here's the next Three For Lesson episode with 3 Buckethead Licks From 2006. I find Buckethead to be one of the most interesting and unusual guitarists on the scene, as his music and ideas typically revolve around tonalities and sounds that most musicians avoid or simply don't understand how to use properly. This includes the use of displaced octaves, atonal phrasing, augmented sounds, intervallic tapping ideas, and much more. For most listeners out there, your ears simply aren't ready to accept the wild textures and erratic sounds coming from the twisted intervallic moods and tonalities that Buckethead prefers in his music. For classical, jazz, and metal music fans out there, these flavors and ideas shouldn't be anything new and will probably sound somewhat familiar, but the average rock or blues player will surely find their head twisting and turning from nearly everything you'll hear Buckethead perform. I find these musical "roads less traveled" exciting and interesting, as you can only play the same licks/scales for so long before you become bored with playing the "same old thing" and eventually find yourself locating new scales, licks, phrases, and ideas to create new sounds. This lesson features an assortment of ideas from Buckethead, and while the live clips came from a Praxis live bootleg recorded in 2006, the licks shared in this lesson should be viewed as an "overview" of his playing style featuring some of his random musical habits, rather than an exact "note-for-note" version of what he played during this solo. In other words, this lesson uses the live clips and licks as a vehicle to explain a little more about where Buckethead is coming from and a few of the ideas he really seems fond of using and mutating in his music.
