Buckethead - Whitewash

Buckethead could have chosen to follow fame and accept his place as one of the greatest guitarists of all time (which he is anyway) but instead decided to remain a smaller more obscure artist who is a treasure to those who discover him. His days with GnR put him in the mainstream spotlight but he hated it there and went back to his own independent label to control his sound and image. Legend.

This is my all time favorite song. Man Brian, you don't know the effect...I just recently discovered your music. It has kept me going now for 6 months. My husband of 38 years passed away this past father's day and if I hadn't found your music I d probably be there with him. Thank you for sharing your talent. You're awesome...

He does what 99% of shredders are terrified of...he plays with space!...This guy's leagues above 'shredding'

[JrodG]

After a tiring day, this is what soothes my pain. Buckethead.

I would love to lock myself inside my house for 1 year listening to Buckethead's music and watching Buckethead videos and NOT deal with the horrible outside world.

[JohnBarrow]

Beautiful, delicate and melodic playing. It's impossible to typecast this guy as a shredder or anything else when he's coming up with stuff like this.

i listen to music because of the way it makes me feel. Buckethead's music makes me feel very good‼️❤👍

[Danielle-yrkr]

Speaks to your soul, without any need of lyrics ❤

[timwilson]

So silky smooth, and he doesn't ever rush the song either. Lots of guys wish they could play like this... myself included.

When he goes into that slow lead it's so smooth and beautiful!

I'm born and raised in Claremont, Ca. And still live literally 2 miles form his favorite music store Styles Music on Foothill Ave. (Route 66). I've met Mr. BH on a number of occasions jamming at said guitar shop... sans mask, the real Brian.. And what a true and loving soul he is, and always was. Claremont love you Bucket!

This is not merely music, this is therapy full of hope.

[leonardo-gfhm]

when I listen to this "whitewash" I kinda get a flashback of my life bout what I've lost and what I've found. I felt the sorrow, the pain and almost kinda feel hit me right in the heart. and I feel like breaking down to pieces.

Its a rare thing for a guitarist that has the skill of Buckethead to pull back on the reins and play something melodic and beautiful rather than simply show off his chops. Its a testament to his immense talent.

[eetfuk]

Honestly the greatest guitar player to exist.

[nlanni]

This music takes me back as a kid to a sound I heard from the late 50's/early 60's. Such a haunting, beautiful melody especially starting at around 2:35. It sends chills down my spine. It seems to me that BH's musical anthology includes almost everything written/played on the electric guitar since it's invention, and each album is an experimental progression in different forms over that time period. You can't call this guy a shredder, heavy metal, hard rock, etc., because he's takes all of those forms and goes so beyond them he can't be simply categorized. Like Hendrix I can understand BH needs to keep moving, but I wish we had more live performances like this one. I think BH will be seen over time as one of the great, great artists by electric guitar's true aficionados. Long live BH!

Love the build up in this one!!! Never take it down please!

[dinab]

THANK YOU God for creating this amazingly talented and beautiful human being. Please keep him healthy and safe so that he can keep on blessing us with his amazing talent/music and make him as happy as he makes his fans with his music.

Literally this guy is the key to the world, nothing compares. Bucket blood for life

[robertmurphy]

He is playing the strings that go from my head to my heart

[yoda]

Best version of this song on Youtube. The solo is absolutely perfect...
