    @StratenMarshall  Před 11 lety +27

    It takes a lot of practice... And coordination in your pinky and ring finger since those tend to be the weakest ones. And mainly just observe your picking, it has to be either all alternate picking, or you do a mix of some sort that works and just remember don't ever pick down or upstrokes consecutively that's usually were people get caught in there picking. As long as you have everything locked in you should have it down.

      Maybe I'll ask you about a Buckethead lick that has puzzled me for a while now. You're incredible on this BKD stuff so, here goes... It's a wild pentatonic lick repeated on the 1st and 2nd strings, probably tapped, but hard to see in the video: BUCKETHEAD Backyard Solo (Full Version).
      He blows it out at 13:57. It looks like he might have loaded the pick to his middle finger in order to tap. Any input ?

    Its hard to find videos on that Buckethead lick, I'm really happy you uploaded this. Thanks for that. One question for you about the "short version" of the lick. Are you picking certain notes?..and hammering on the others? If so which ones?.....

    • @georgiosvavliaras1066
      @georgiosvavliaras1066 Před 3 lety

      I know that's a late reply, but check out Paul Gilberts old instruction on shredding, I think it's called "Serious rock" or something, it's from 1985 and has a nice intro and that lick is pretty much the first thing you learn there :)
      Enjoy!

    That lick!
    You hit all the high points, but I don't know if you pointed out enough that it's very hammer-on/pull-off based. It's a variation on a Paul Gilbert lick. You can see other applications of that pattern in this Paul Gilbert video: paul gilbert string skips

    I've had these licks down for a while, glad to see someone step up and do a video lesson on something other than his tapping licks. I posted a tab on the Buckethead forums with a bunch of his licks. Anyways, how are you muting the b string when you switch to the high e? Are you muting it with your right hand or just the tip of the left index finger?

    • @StratenMarshall
      @StratenMarshall  Před 10 lety

      cool dude! i honestly just play i don't give it much thought, mainly improvising to see what comes out. but if i gave it thought i guess its just mainly finger tone with slight muting!

    Yo man you play it as clean as buckethead. Nice work! I think a lot of people would find it helpful if you showed the picking hand and went through it note by note slowly. I can play this too but I have problems keeping it going because my right hand starts doing strange things.you should make a video playing the studio version of nottingham lace note for note. I think you could do it. Do you write your own songs?

  • @austincarter-potter
