I'm pretty sure the Pikes series (the bulk of his studio works) was a way to get a steadier stream of money while his parents were dying and in the hospital and whatnot
if it wasn't that, then he either knows he is dying (likely marfans) and wants to play until he dies, or perhaps he just has to constantly record as a kind of OCD or emotional release mechanism
Bentley Reyes
I didn't know that...
David Moore
>mainly a sludgefag >do the justinguitar funk course out of boredom >get hooked on funk guitar >looking at envelope filters What filters do you guys use
David Foster
Rainbow Machine or bust
Oliver Perez
The rainbow machine is cool but im not really sure it's an envelope filter
Samuel Price
It's not. It's still cool tho. EQD makes an envelop filter called the 'Spatial Delivery' but i've never tried it
Nolan Richardson
when it all finally clicked for me was the connection between him not touring for a year while he pumped out pikes, and his history of heath issues and his mother also had health issues (the birth of Colma was when she had cancer) and then his mom passed away and his father followed soon after
Alright, you're improvising a solo and the chart says to play over Dm9 for a bar. What do you play?
Cameron Peterson
I play something in the scale the song is in that sounds good over a Dm9, of course
Wyatt Bailey
one of those dodododo break dodododo type of things
Josiah Richardson
D dorian or A phrygian
Logan Nelson
Just the open D string repeatedly
Ian Gonzalez
By the way, those are descending and I forgot to mention that you should follow it with a nasty chord
Nicholas Murphy
Wouldn't A Phrygian essentially just be D minor?
Or are you putting emphasis on the 5th, 7th, and 9th of Dm by playing A Phrygian?
Parker Russell
Not too familiar with his own health, as he keeps literally everything about himself a secret. Does he have Marfans? Definitely, but so does Paul Gilbert, so does Michael Phelps, and they're not dying from it. Of course, no way to know if Brian Carroll, which is Bucket's real name, is actually suffering because he doesn't let the world know about himself.
His parents though have both passed, which is terrible and sad, and I feel for the guy. Pike 65 is one of my all time favorite pieces of music ever made, and you can feel him literally pouring out his soul into the guitar in that song, which is amazing to me, because it's a heavy, shreddy song. Proof that Bucket can do anything he wants with the instrument.
Listen to that to really understand the guy better. Brian Carroll is a regular ass dude, who just happens to be an amazing guitar player. Buckethead is like a character he plays, it's a persona, but he's not "autistic", he doesn't sleep in the mask or any of that.
I feel like he's one of the most misunderstood musicians of all time.
Lucas Parker
Buckethead has taken quite a bit of tie off of touring for health reasons since the early 2000s, the onyl time fans know about ti is when someone like Bootsy Collins posts on social media that Buckethead is sick. There is even footage from the late 90s onward of him with braces (European GR2 tour) and clothing meant for spinal support (2010 on compression shirt worn at most live events)
and Marfan's only usually becomes an issue when the body is already prone to being sick, leading to bone and heart issues in later life (usually age 35-40 onwards)
Adam Ward
>crying about crazyaga >because he's so new he doesn't know about filtering Why are newfriends always so hilarious?
Eli Evans
Brian Carroll is basically just a disney, horror movie and music nerd who is really good at music in general
the buckethead character is to separate him from his work to maintain freedom as a person who likes to go and do shit. It is also just a fantastic piece of performance art at this point
Juan Bennett
He shouldn't cry about me aniway since i'm a kind and nice guy
Reminder that this is the only confirmed picture of Buckethead known to exist and it's only of him when he's very young, so it's not helpful in showing how he might look now, in his 40s.
Also, his dad looks like he's Mexican perhaps, so maybe he's half Latino or something.
>inb4 some brings up those confirmed not him pictures of that Fanalo guy everyone says is him That's not him, holy fuck, move on.
Brayden Barnes
Play some black metal on your grandpa guitar
Caleb Perez
And of course I forget the pic
James James
I just noticed something cool that should've been obvious. I used to panic when I needed to solo over a b9 or #9 altered dominant arpeggio, but I realized I can BS my way through it by simply playing the dominant arpeggio, not messing with the 9th at all.
Now I'm just going to concentrate on making #5 and b5 altered dominants sound cool.
Jaxson Hughes
You're a worthless piece of shit and always will be
Cooper Richardson
>grandpa guitar lol >Play some black metal Such as?
Dominic Peterson
I like that your posts bother him so much, honestly. He's so assblasted he has to scream about it, you win just by posting.
Keep up the good work ( lol), our new redditor needs to learn this place isn't his hugbox and crying "Mods!" like a stupid bitch doesn't work here.
EHX Q-Tron. One of the old big box ones. You can consistently get them on Reverb for less than 90 bucks. Great for guitar and bass
Leo Cooper
cry hard bitch nerd lmao
Xavier Torres
My thumb hurts when I play the B chord (or any bar chords really). How do I fix this? Should I just practice and keep playing bar chords?
Jackson Bennett
How good do I need to be before I can jam with people?
Jeremiah Martin
Keep practicing and try slightly using the side of your index finger to help you barre, and also try to make sure the thumb is positioned comfortably somewhat opposite your middle finger (so if the neck wasn't there, you could touch your thumb and middle finger together). If you have a guitar with a skunk stripe, I think it's generally good practice to place the thumb on or near the stripe.
Camden Roberts
When you can follow chord progression, rhythm, and free form. Basically a confident amount of theory plus fucking around with musically coherent notes, no wanking, only walking
David Robinson
Thanks user
Michael Nguyen
Ritchie used a scalloped fretboard? (I mean yes, i googled it and this is true, just never heard about it)
Tyler Rodriguez
Why do people disrespect Synyster Gates' guitar playing? These solos aren't easy.
Ayden Lewis
His guitar is so fucking gaudy but he has some good chops for sure, albeit repetive over the course of an album.
how do I play bass, like honestly, guitar is braindead easy for me, but bass is another level
Austin Jackson
well Sup Forums it's getting late for me. maybe next time I can play some more for you. good night
Isaac Reyes
Smoking sucks. You try to have a simple band practice and half the dudes have to go outside and smoke for 15 minutes every hour. How hard is it to just not smoke for 3 or 4 hours?
Thomas Sanders
They most likely just don't want to be around you.
Asher Foster
Not possible, I'm a delightful human being
Carter Rogers
get them to switch to vaping
Isaiah Morgan
Just smoke inside? It's band practice not eating at a restaurant
Cooper Smith
It's illegal in just about every first world country. Some places even ban smoking within 2 metres of a building
Matthew Phillips
Nobody needs to know
Wyatt Johnson

Dominic Morgan
I smoke cigarettes, and I'm in a band with 2 of the biggest potheads I've ever met. Never have any of us called a smoke break, and we usually practice like 4 hours at a time. If we do more than that we'll take a break, but it's a mutual thing across all 6 of us.
I told them no one smokes in my car, none of them have ever even asked since.
Maybe it's cause we're all in our mid 20s, we're not trying to fuck around and waste our time.
We were working with one singer who would try to pull shit like that, he got the axe. No time to baby sit, no time to wait when you got a show in 2 days and this is the last chance you'll have to pull everything together and make it spotless.
Dominic Price
That's pretty damn bad man. I had a similar experience, except the other guys would always get drunk during practice and it basically got to the point where they just wanted to hang out for 12 hours a day 4-5 days a week and maybe get a total of 3 hours of actual playing in. And most of that was shitty playing since they were too intoxicated to play right.
Unless you think you've got something special going musically I'd say tell them to start chipping in money and spending more time playing or just find someone else to play with. You can find tons of musicians on craigslist.
Ayden Collins
They were pretty good musicans, it was the only band I've been in that was able to improvise songs (music + lyrics) right on the spot when everybody joined in. Eventually I left because there was too much bullshit, it was costing me a lot of money driving around for practice and gigs but was never going to go anywhere because they couldn't get their shit together and tried to rely too much on schmoozing other people instead of putting the work in, not suprising for people who couldn't work a normal job. Right now I'm working on getting a house in the country with a dedicated fully equipped jam room, and then they can come to me. I've been saving for almost 2 years and in another year I should basically have it all ready to go.
Owen Sanders
>being in a band >not wanting to be drunk and stoned >stuck up pussies
You're doing it wrong
Jackson Garcia
The "drug party with instruments" meme gets boring after a while, especially if you just want to play music
Jayden Perry
Right on man, at least you have a plan. If you can make that country house with a jam room work then that would be fucking sweet. Good luck with it.
Christian Perez
Getting drunk and stoned is one thing. Wanting to be in a band and just sitting around being drunk and/or stoned all day is another.
I'm sure there's been plenty of good bands who would hang out and do drugs all day and still managed to do alright. But in my experience the most successful bands are the ones who meet up and practice for a few hours straight and really work to get their set down. The ones that just want to hang out and occasionally play usually suck and go nowhere.
Jose Howard
I'd rather get paid and get repeat business. As it stands I'm making like $250 a night.
Brandon Peterson
How do you find people who are into non popular genres?
I'm in germany and all the listings online are either dadrock coverbands or shitty metalbands
Hunter Wood
You are lucky to even have that, here in Ireland its only country music or wedding bands

Hunter Butler
I just started taking lessons with no musical background or knowledge at all. I've played guitars in the past but really only know a couple chords by feel not by name or sound. Same with bar chords. I know how to do them I just don't know the difference between major/minor and what key Im in and all that. My first lesson was last week and my teacher gave me a couple sheets of paper with a couple variations of the pentatonic scale, showing bar chords in major and minor and what key they are in based on what string your playing from (6th or 5th). He told me to practice the scale with an a minor/c major backtrack. I really think it's too much too soon. I can barely play the scale fluently without hitting the wrong string and fuckin up my fretting. My posture was all fucked up and thankfully he told me how to correct it. Should I just let him guide me however he sees fit or should I speak up and say I feel like he should slow down with me?
John Foster

Chase Reyes
Wait how are archtop electronics shielded
Julian Adams
r8 pls - mostly for main riff that comes in around 30 secs
I teach and discussion about what the student thinks is manageable is always fine, especially in the first few weeks when one tries to gauge what the students knows and is capable of.
Except young kids - they're always lying little lazy shits
Lincoln Young
Anyone here owns a D'Angelico? Not the original ones, but the ones from South Korea. Are they any good?
Benjamin James
>could have bought a decent car for the money I spent on gear in the last year >don't even have a driving license yet Are my priorities messed up?
Carter Ortiz
No, buy more gear.
Now.
Jason Thompson
Is it normal to not be able to do a minor bar chord at the 9th fret? Everything gets pressed normally except for the g string which i have to shift my index finger upwards by a bit before i can press it. That means my index finger is jutting off the fretboard slightly. Do i need to lower my action?
Cameron Morris
I already did.... Custom made bass is currently being built.
Carter Ward
Using shielded wire. When in doubt, strap everything to ground. You don't need a Faraday cage.
Ethan Carter
If the story were >bought shitloads of gear >I don't have a band >I play metal
Yes, you would have fucked up. Not buying a car and being a manchild for the rest of your life is alright.
Austin Kelly
>Not buying a car and being a manchild for the rest of your life is alright. Cool.
Dylan Mitchell
I have a dull-ass flat black Ibanez RG that I want to spice up a bit like this. What would be the best way to do this? Just see if someone sells some kind of vinyl to put on it, or send it to someone to refinish it, or what?
Lincoln Adams
B nice
I don't want to come off like I'm slacking because I do practice atleast an hour a day even after working 12 hours. I just don't want him to give up on me if I'm not progressing as much as he thinks I should.
Landon Miller
Don't worry about it. Your hips will start moving on they're own in no time!
Thomas Barnes
Any good teacher will tailor a program to suit the student's learning style and pace,
Tell him the stuff you are having trouble with and he should focus on that for a while
