Funnel Weaver is the seventh studio album by Buckethead. The album is very different from his previous works in that it is made up by 49 very short tracks, primarily consisting of heavy metal guitar riffs and noodling on top of samples and drum machine loops. The album features no original vocal performances, but some voice samples are scattered through the album. The shorter track lengths may represent music which could later be developed ("Funnel Weaver"). The album has also been described as a collection of intro tracks reminiscent of the Slaughter Zone section of Bucketheadland.
