Chapman Stick is Way Cool!
Just had to share this with the world! This musical instrument is soooo innovative! I was surfing youtube for music to listen to, and my all time favorite group is Gentle Giant. So, I was search on that and found this Rob Martino guy that plays one of their songs. Cool. But, what he uses is something called a “Stick”. And, the sound is fantastic!
Now, looking further into it, turns out that this guy is one of the best at it that I could find. But, the instrument is still very powerful, giving a string player (actually called “tapping”) and ability to play many parts at the same time much as a piano player can. Well, I have played the piano for about 40 years and have been a “table top tapper” for as long! It is very exciting to consider the potential here. Unfortunately, you still have to adjust frets and bridges and torque and… okay, I would be one of those people who buy it but never really use it. But, I love the sound… listen to this!
