Finger-pickin’ good

Your New Year’s plans are lame. Lame … Know how I know? They probably don’t involve a guy who wears a pail (previously of the KFC variety) for a crown. The same electric-guitar enigma who released around 300 albums in 30 years and toured with Guns N’ Roses in the 2000s. I’m not saying you need to drop the family gathering or the nightclub crawl for Buckethead, who’s touring “Decaying Parchment,” a six-song EP that as pleasantly proggy as his other releases. I will tell you what you’ll miss: an instrumental one-man sideshow, starring a renowned guitarist. 1417 R Street, www.aceofspadessac.com.
