Brian Patrick Carroll, better known as Buckethead, was born on May 13, 1969. He began playing the electric guitar at the age of 12. At first he was not playing a lot but then he realized that guitar is meant for him and he began playing it almost every day for about 5-6 hours. His playing began improving with lessons from various teachers, most notably Paul Gilbert. He has released over 26 solo albums and performed on over 50 more. He is also in a rock band named Guns n' Roses which is also one of my favorite rock bands.

Brian Patrick Carroll isn't only a very good guitar player but he also plays other instruments such as bass, drums, mandolin, piano, banjo, organ. He is very connected with the music itself and he enjoys playing those instruments very much.

I consider him as my hero because he inspired me with his music. I began playing the guitar when I first heard Buckethead playing on a TV. I bought the guitar shaped the same as the one that Buckethead has, but the color is different. I've been playing the guitar for 2 years now, mostly i play songs that Buckethead wrote.
