>"technical virtuoso with no soul"
You're trippin bitch
we can't
See the problem is that for every Interworld and Soothsayer there are literally hundreds of "watch me play this scale at 200 bpm" tracks in Buckethead's discography. To the point that I don't believe the "soul" in his slower and more emotive songs.
That's a retarded conclusion famm. Buckethead comes just as much from the Eddie Hazel and William Ackerman school of guitar as he does from the Paul Gilbert style. He's just all over the place and releases way too many tracks, doesn't take away from his innate abilities as a musician.
He really reminds me of a more accomplished Eddie Hazel, there's a reason he collaborated with so many of the P-Funk guys early on in his career.
>Would you call satch a soulless wanker too?
why would I? Satriani and Govan are like the opposites, why would you bring up his name in the first place
>but his ear for melody is top fucking notch.
strongly disagree
It just gets annoying to hear the same progression in so many of his solos. He has this one specific pattern that shows up almost every single time he plays a fast solo that really makes it feel like he's approaching music in a paint-by-numbers kind of way.
Don't get me wrong. Colma, Population Override, Electric Tears, his work with Praxis and Axiom Funk, great stuff. But keep an ear open on his faster stuff and it all starts to sound really samey really fast. Turns me off.
