Electric Tears is Buckethead's ninth studio album. It is considered one of his most calming albums[2] in a list that would include works such as the acoustic, Colma. The only instruments featured on the album are acoustic and electric guitars played by Buckethead.[1] The tracks on Electric Tears are an array of soft mellow tunes as well as apathetic, ambient, and somewhat depressing-sounding minor notes that are arranged in melodic fashion. Sometime in 2010, the album was released directly from Buckethead at TDRS Music.

The album "Electric Sea" is a direct sequel to this album.
