Buckethead's skills really amuse me, and I'd like to know how he does it. Most likely I'll never be able to play like he does, but I'd like to at least try. Is there a book or (preferably) a website that teaches how rip out those crazy guitar solos?

Don't forget the bucket preferably without grease stains. Really though you have got to hear what he's doing. Also try to hear what you do to. |
