Nothing like discovering somebody this good for the first time! Especially Buckethead who had 100's of albums! LOL In early 2009, after hearing Treeduck and Tangy talk about him constantly, I looked him up online and gave his stuff a shot. Hooked me immediately. Being a fan of instrumentalists like Satriani, Vai, Eric Johnson, etc., I thought I'd try his stuff out. So, so good! I own so many of his albums now. Treeduck gave you a fantastic list to start. Just check out some stuff on YouTube too. You'll be hooked asap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just happened to be recommending another Buckethead album to Sullysue, this is one you might need too; Deli Creeps - Dawn of the Deli Creeps. This album is Texas Chainsaw Massacre Metal!
