Buckethead
There are artists and then there is Buckethead. He is one of the most mysterious, weird and enigmatic figures in the underground music scene. Despite his bizarre persona he is a very talented and gifted musician. He plays a wide array of instruments but is most famous for his emphatic command over the electric guitar.
Buckethead is one of the most modern innovators of the guitar. His guitar playing skills have made him famous all over the world. He was even rated by guitar one as the 8th fastest shredder in the world. His style of play is a stark reminiscence of artists like Yngwie Malmsteen, Adrian Belew, Slayer's Kerry King, P-Funk's Eddie Hazel, and avant-improv artist John Zorn's Scud-attack sax abuse. He was initially part of the San Francisco-based metal-funk band Deli Creeps.
