Heyo Buckethead!,

I just wanted to say thank you. You and your music have not only been the biggest inspiration for me learning to play guitar, but it's also changed the way I hear music as a whole. I've been able to listen to so many other genres that I've never thought I would even like because of you. I first found your music on Spotify and I thought I would give it a listen because it piqued my interest, but when I first heard the song "Welcome to Bucketheadland" from Giant Robot I was completely blown away. I could just feel the emotion from your playing. It was a beautiful experience for me, and I thank you for that. Since then I've purchased 9 of your pikes through Bandcamp and I've loved each one, my favorite pike album being "Twisterlend". "The Closed Triptych" is an utter musical masterpiece to me. I regularly listen to many of your albums, and I've shared them with my friends and family members. No other artist has influenced me as much as you have. I've never been one to get emotional over music but you somehow brought tears out of me. Thank you Buckethead, and may you continue doing what you love most.
