Members Roy Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 what a coincidence. i was watching a youtube vid the other day with a stick and was reminded of how cool they are. friggin expensive too, $2,000ish on ebay. had a buddy lend me one for a few months, didn't get along with it very well. i'm just not a tappy kinda guy. too bad cuz i really dig the sound of the instrument.

Members aliensporebomb Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 I was at a street fair in Miami a month or so ago and heard a familiar tappy boppy sound and there was a guy playing a stick into an amp live right in front of me. He was really good, did the walking jazz bass with the pianistic chords and solo'ed at the same time. Really good. First time I personally witnessed one close up. Saw King Crimson live with Tony Levin and of course he was so far from where I was sitting twas hard to see what he was doing but this was cool, right in my face. I'd love to try one out.

Members _pete_ Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 Tony Levin kills on those. He would sound great with a rubber band and a broomstick but yeah, he kills on the Chapman Stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members badbrain Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 Too bad it's physically impossible to look cool whilst playing the Stick. Sorry, not even Tony Levin. Greg Howard? nerd.Trey Gunn? nerd. I would know, I've been trying to play the damn thing for 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sxyryan Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 I have a really hard time doing more than one thing at a time. I can't play the piano either. I know my notes, chords and scales but my hands just won't work independently. That is awesome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
