Buckethead
“#1! His music might not sound very good but he’s so fast when he plays. Also Herman Li’s stuff is just sped up and he can’t actually play it.”
“Soothsayer was all I needed to hear. Buckethead is THE greatest.”
“Have you seen it? That is explanation in itself!”

“no one can faster than he”
“I probably dig Iommi and Hendrix (as well as the unlisted Buck Dharma) more, but this guy is not only talented, but ambidextrous.”
“Batio plays three notes for every note buckethead plays”

“should be ahead of at least michael angelo, maybe petrucci, but buckethead idk.”
“Synyster Gates is the best without a doubt. He is the greatest guitarist and by far best shredder. Buckethead is nothing compared to sin.
Afterlife Solo, Critical Acclaim, Scream, Bat country, Beast and the harlet, Burn it down and lots more of course he’s the best”
“Gates is new, yes, but has amazing talents, a great fast guitarist! Slash should also be higher because of his many top solo performances such as novemeber rain and sweet child o’mine. But gates definitely should before Buckethead (HORRIBLE). He might as well be playing a computer!”
