I have to check out all your links.  The last one I checked out though. You sound pretty good on bass and I like the walking bass lines and always have. I play bass too.   The guitar player sounds ok but for some of it I don't like his choice of notes and he stumbled on some of it.  And I am not big on blues either.  5 note pentatonic scales are easy compared to jazz or classical.
   For instance listen to Django Rhienhart.  He can play slow meaningful notes but he can tear up the guitar also. He isn't a one trick pony. I find that the guitar players that can shred can play soulful notes all the better. Fretboard mastery
  But we obviously like different things in music and I respect that.
 But I think Buckethead can play music for ANY mood.  I wish I could do that lol. A guitarist that can play ANYTHING to me shows serious talent.

I personally think that "shredding" is the opposite of "soul" Nothing wrong with technique, but it shouldn't be an end in itself.
I like people that put all that into one note, the intent is what communicates. You got tell stories , but you got to have a story to tell. And I hear that in BH, the dude has suffered in his life. That's what Tyson needs before he really becomes who he wants to be(Coltrane on the guitar). Like Bird said "you gotta live it". Music is a reflection of life, a means of communication.

PS I bet Buckethead loves the blues, I hear it when he slows down. Also Aaron King is Django plus blues all the way.

Have you heard Yngwie Malmsteen play the blues??   Man can he make notes just sing. The rest of his stuff mostly though is mindless shredding but man is he good at what he does.
   BTW are you the guy with the gigantic Salvia plants??  I need some help with mine.

nah, that's not me.
