hey man

well I will probably be ripped to shreds about this post but personally I think Buckethead is a bit over-rated. I owned one of his albums(can't remember the name of it) and was *really* dissapointed!!
The songs to me had a sort of novelty quality to them, the sound of his guitar/melodies were all a bit to contrived for my taste. There is no denying his originality but the novelty and idea wears fairly thin rather quickly. As far as chops are concerned he is a million miles from Shawn, he's good for sure but if you want to be blown then he's not going to do it-particularly his picking it's pretty bland. Do yourself a favour and just download some of his songs off 'Kazaa' or 'Winmx' before you buy one of his albums- better yet just buy some more of Shawn's stuff :)

hope this helps

peace

james
