Hi,

I'm 15 and I recently discovered Buckethead, who is quickly ​becoming​ one of my favourite guitarists.

I live in Europe, so I think I won't have the chance to see him live and this hurts me really badly.

To ​all the other European fans out there, what ​do you think about it? Will he do a EU tour sooner or later?​

Hi, I’m looking for some songs or full albums (preferably metal) to practice. Skill-wise, I’m in that transition phase between beginner and intermediate. To give you an idea, I can comfortably play the solos from Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb and Time, John Mayer's Slow Dancing in a Burning Room and Belief, Smashing Pumpkins' Mayonaise and Dire Straits' Sultans Of Swing (but just the first one).

I need recommendations strictly in E Standard tuning.

Important note about my guitar: my guitar needs a refret (that I can't afford). Because of this, I can't do bends more than a half-step on the high E string in the middle section of the neck (specifically between the 10th and 14th frets). I can bend perfectly fine on all the other strings (B, G, etc.).

What albums or solo guitarists would you recommend that have great riffs and solos appropriate for my level, but won't force me into bends on the high E string in that specific zone? I’m totally fine with stuff that focuses on legato, tapping, slides, or bends on the inner strings. Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

Hi,

I’m completely new to Buckethead's massive discography and I really want to dive in. I’m also a guitar player, and my current guitar is set up specifically in E Standard.

Since he has hundreds of Pikes and albums, it's a bit overwhelming to figure out which ones use standard tuning. I'd love to start my listening journey with albums that I can also comfortably jam along with without having to down-tune.

What are some of his best albums or Pikes that are recorded in E Standard? Thanks in advance for the recommendations!

Hi everyone, I'm going on a long car trip and I want to take my electric guitar with me.

There will be a free seat next to me in the back, so I plan to lay the guitar (in a gig bag) horizontally across my legs and the seat next to me, with a blanket underneath for extra padding.

Do you think it will be safe physically?

​Also, I have to deal with temperature changes. The car will have the AC on, but outside it's going to be very hot (around 35°C / 95°F). I was thinking of turning off the air conditioner 10–15 minutes before arriving to let it warm up gradually, and then leaving it in the bag once inside.

Is ​this safe? Are there any other things I should be careful about? Thanks!
