Bucklethead
Close your eyes and let your mind go as you listen to this sonic treat of bass-driven, instrumental, guitar-centric music. The album is a mixture of spacey funk and ambience, all with a steady, driven quality.
If you’re new to Buckethead, this is an eminently accessible work. Buckethead’s music ranges from this sort of chill out all the way to flatout shred. All of his albums showcase his guitar virtuosity.

He is a prolific artist, having released 214 studio albums to date, and he has performed on more than 50 other albums by other artists.
