Brian Carroll: buckethead portrait of an artist as a young man

One of Buckethead's earliest videos showing his raw speed and talent to shred with precision like no other. At the time of this recording he was only 20 years old.

One of young Buckethead's fastest shredding demonstrations


Recorded during the same time as the Young Buckethead DVDs, Acoustic Shards showcases Buckethead alone on acoustic guitar. The music was recorded in real time, without overdubs or effects devices - just Buckethead in a living room, playing a borrowed guitar. Much of it was composed on the spot. The CD includes the earliest-known version of fan faves "For Mom" and "Who Me?" as well as lots of classic riffs and things you've never heard before.

Buckethead himself drew all the artwork for the CD and poster.
