-{{cquote|Imagine, if you will, that Buckethead walked into a quiet living room, picked up an acoustic guitar, and began improvising one amazing composition after the next -- that's what happened when we recorded ''Acoustic Shards'' back in 1991. (It was taped a couple of weeks after the final [[Deli Creeps]] concert on the ''Young Buckethead'' DVDs, but is quite different musically.) It is a single-CD, 52:30 minutes in length, 15 tracks. Included are very early versions of "For Mom" and "Who Me?" as well as a lot of stuff you've never heard before. The playing is spectacular -- some of it sounds like [[Django Reinhardt]] meets [[Ornette Coleman]] meets young [[Eddie Van Halen|EVH]] meets... well, that which is uniquely and lovably Buckethead. Some passages are so advanced you'd swear it's two guitarists -- but it was all recorded in real time and without overdubs -- while other parts are just melodically beautiful beyond words. So far, everyone who's heard it has said it's the kind of music that resonates in you long after the stereo's been turned off.}}
 "For Mom" was first released officially on the album ''[[Colma (album)|Colma]]'' (1998) and  "Who Me?" followed on ''[[Monsters and Robots]]'' (1999).

-===Trivia===
-* On the first pressings of ''Acoustic Shards'', tracks 2 and 3 are reversed in the track listing, and ''Sasaki's Gone'' was misspelled as ''Saskia's Gone''. These errors were corrected on future pressings of the album.<ref>[http://bucketheadland.proboards19.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1181152868 Bucketheadland proboard 2]</ref>
-* At around 0:38 in ''Little Gracie'', the word "Oops..." can be heard, as well as other indistinct talking from the track timing of 0:33 to 0:40.
-* The guitar riff that occurs at 4:58–5:05 in ''Thugs'', is common to that of the 2:15–2:33 riff from ''Post Office Buddy'', thus the beginnings of the riff started in this original recording.
-* At approximately 1:00 in ''Johnny'', a riff similar to that of the Pieces' song ''Danyel'' (from the album [[I Need 5 Minutes Alone]]) can be heard.
