Paul Gilbert Discusses Teaching Buckethead!!

[jakebriscoe]

“Pre… bucket” just made me crack up idk why

[MasterBeaterPI]

One of the biggest flex in human history is to say "Bucket head was a student of mine"

[sydnayallen]

Its crazy how alot of these famous guitarists are in like a circle that taught each other

If Paul Gilbert is say he had this fast twitch “thing” is probably the best compliment he could give to a young guitar player.

I love the idea of Buckethead taking like 5-6 lessons from Paul Gilbert and just being like “well…I got this on lock. Time to blow everyone’s mind” 😂

I went to a clinic of Paul's about 10 yrs ago. Hell, it could've been 15 yrs ago, honestly. It was at a Guitar Center here in Kansas City. I had actually been a Buckethead fan long before I'd ever even heard the name Paul Gilbert, which makes sense based on my age (38). But, I had just found out shortly before the clinic that he had taught Buckethead, and this was also before the name Brian Carrol was common knowledge, which got me thinking about who Buckethead was in RL... So, when he opened it up for Q&A, I raised my hand, and he called on me. He was shocked to hear that my question wasn't a question at all, but a statement. I looked him in the eye and said straight faced, "I think you ARE buckethead. Can you provide any evidence to the contrary?" After he laughed for a second, he responded, "Brian is a good 2 or 3 inches taller than I am. That, and his hands are significantly larger than my own." To which I then responded, "okay, I believe you. Thanks for the info."

That's the whole story.

When the master creates another master. And the fact he didn’t give out any info on his name or looks shows that Paul’s a real one.

I love the respect he gives to Buckethead here. you can tell he is specifically choosing not to talk about anything buckethead wouldn't have wanted out there, like how he was personally. Answers the mask question without any further exposition. I remember being new taking lessons over 16 years ago and telling my teacher Buckethead was my favorite guitarist. The next week he excitedly told me he had looked him up and learned that one of HIS favorite guitarists had given Buckethead lessons, Paul Gilbert. I've been a fan ever since!

Paul Gilbert is such a humble master. What a legend.

[frettingitforward]

Thanks for all you contributed to a full crispy bucket of Brian! And dude you Kill’ Pauly!!

15 year old Buckethead out here shredding while getting his mom to drop him off. That's dedication.

Paul Gilbert runs a guitar course on Artist works and has made thousands of videos for thousands of guitar players personally, he is probably the most enthusiastic guitar player in the world and someone of his ability spreading his knowledge to so many people is very rare especially when you look at how young he achieved fame. He has enriched the guitar world exponentially.

Thanks for teaching the master you did great😎

[arthurallsopp]

That's why he is so good, teachers like you to set the Bar Paul.

[DaveNeil-er]

Paul Gilbert is the best rock star ever. Down to earth, humble and appears to be a great human being❤

[BzBlade]

Pebber Brown is Buckethead's long term teacher. Paul was his childhood friend that showed him some scales and licks

[ianyoung]

Ozzy wanted Buckethead to take over from Zakk at one point. Ozzy said name anything you want but you have to take the mask and bucket off. Brian left the room and came back with a different mask, the monster from you Sea. Ozzy just didn't get it. But the fans love it.

[williammunny]

Paul Gilbert seems super chill. Hell of a guitarist.

[nickp]

Hearing Bucket talking about those visits to pauls apartment is great

[bigchonkers]

The dude that taught Buckethead, that's how you know Paul is one badass mfker
